Feel very lucky to have had a chance to stay in this beautiful historic house full of antique furnishings and modern amenities. Cozy living room with cute and comfy furniture was a favorite spot for everyone to lounge on a rainy day and the well stocked kitchen with new appliances made it joy to cook. Thought the connected bedrooms may be an issue but actually it’s quite well laid out and our teen ager appreciated the space arrangements. Very conveniently located- walking distance to the Red River beach ( and bank st beach, which has even finer sand) - try going down after dark if the weather is clear - lots and lots of stars! The nature walk near the house ( Thompson field) is indeed a doggy paradise like another reviewer said - our dog loved going there every day. The house may be old but it is very well taken care of and everything is so thoughtfully arranged down to every corner, including the subject-sorted bookshelves: it’s full of cute little surprises. The owner Carine was responsive and kind- a gift bottle of Rosé was a lovely touchI thank you! already miss it! We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Lovely olde comfortable home. Perfect distance to beach. Everything we needed to dine in or get take out. Didn’t need the A/C downstairs as the trees shaded the house. Backyard was full of bunnies and turkeys throughout the week. Fire pit was a relaxing after a day on the beach.Interesting to know the history of the home and think of maritime families living there.5stars!
Nice house, kitchen well equipped . Stairs a bit of a challenge for older person.
There is plenty of space in this old house within walking distance to the beach. Just be sure you understand that exiting two of the three bedrooms requires walking through one or two other bedrooms and that to get to the bedrooms and upstairs bath you will be climbing very narrow steep stairs. The outdoor shower and firepit are added delights. Bring your own dishtowels, TP and papergoods.
We enjoyed almost a week at The Cape and this house was a nice place to call home. The outdoor space is lovely and the house very cozy and comfortable. So happy we got to stay here!
What a hidden gem… the property is beautiful and well preserved. We like to cook when we travel and there was nothing missing! Excellently stocked with all the kitchenware! There are gorgeous little nooks where one can find a place to disappear; to read, nap, THINK… the host was very reachable and very helpful at every turn! We will definitely stay at this property again! We got two days of rain for our two nights and two days stay but it was as nice to be inside this special cottage! IF you are traveling with dogs, Thompson Field Conservation area is less than half a mile away and it’s like bringing your dog to their idea of Disney World! Don’t miss it.
My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay in this charming historic home which was exactly as described. We loved everything about this lovely house in Harwich including its proximity to the beach. Carinne was an excellent host. She was always responsive to messages before our stay and made us feel welcome from the start. We could not have been more pleased with the entire experience. It was a wonderful week in a beautiful house in an ideal location with an outstanding host!
We enjoyed our week at this historic Harwich home. It was as described with books/movies to enjoy. The check-in process was easy and we had a quick response from the maintenance person when we had a question. The yard is quiet and private and we enjoyed the fire pit area. Close to the local beaches and town. We especially enjoyed the updated downstairs shower. Also a sweet touch of a welcome bottle of wine which was appreciated.
My family and I loved the location of this home! It was close to many of the mid cape towns which allowed us to do lots of day trips. Red River Beach is close by too! The home is immaculate! Lots of history in this home! Home owner is very accommodating!
I felt misled by the description of the house. When I booked it for 5 adults in my family, it was not clear that the ONLY access to secondary sleep areas was through the master bedroom. The description did say the stairs are steep, but even a minor physical limitation would have precluded a family member from accessing the bedrooms. The beach was a long walk, and no map left for quickest access to the bike path. Internet went out on Friday, which precluded any TV through the end of our stay. The house and grounds were very charming, and the location was a short drive to anything we wanted to do. We did not reach out to hosts about internet failure. Rather, we googled it and since it appeared to be a fairly common problem we tried rebooting and then gave up. DVD player ate our DVD but refused to play it. Afterward, host advised both had been quickly fixed. We enjoyed our stay because we had beautiful weather and were at the cape, but we would not go back to this property.
This is a cozy, clean, historic home on a charming property. The appointments and management are excellent. It has lots of nooks and crannies, a well-equipped kitchen, and a great outdoor shower. We would stay here again.
