Super private, comfortable, and authentic… Don’t miss the chance to spend time relaxing in this one-of-a-kind, utterly charming studio in Truro’s National Seashore.

This lovely, post and beam home is a peaceful, year-round getaway. Praised as the perfect setting for writers, artists, teachers, yogis, and beach lovers, the studio offers solitude and gorgeous surroundings for all.

Located one mile from spectacular Longnook Beach, this home provides a delightful walk or bike ride any time of day. As an alternative, it is a 10-minute ride to Corn Hill Beach on the bay-side and a secluded woodland walk at the end of Higgins Hollow Road.

Ceiling fans take the edge off a hot summer day, and radiant heat offers glorious warmth during chilly fall and winter weather. The home has 2 bedrooms, a futon for guest sleep overs, an indoor bathroom (tub & shower), and outdoor shower. It is fully winterized for year round use and includes a full complement of new kitchen appliances, an indoor dining area, and living room. There is a full basement with beach chairs and umbrellas, and a washer and dryer (laundry soap provided). For those who prefer drying their clothes in the fresh air, there is an outdoor clothesline.

This home is an ideal blend of indoors and out. The home’s cathedral ceilings, many windows, and open floor plan add a sense of openness and light to each room. During the warm months, the spacious screened in porch has tables and comfortable chairs that provide the perfect place to start the day with a cup of tea or coffee while serenaded by song birds. Its round table accommodates eight for delightful summer dinners with cool evening air, without concern for those pesky mosquitoes. The outdoor grill and the adjacent, well stocked kitchen are only a few steps away so that cooking and serving are a breeze, and dinning is a true pleasure. The adjacent large deck is ideal for sunbathing and socializing, and is complemented by a lawn that invites meditation, outdoor games, or well deserved cat naps.

The welcoming arrangement of the living room’s futon/couch, arm chairs and side tables cater to cozy reading or lively conversation. The master bedroom, located on the main floor, has a queen size bed, closet, large six-drawer bureau, side window, and a screen/glass slider that opens onto the deck and outdoor shower.

The upstairs bedroom has windows and a skylight, a large bureau, and pegs for hanging items.. It is set up as two twin beds, but can be configured as a king if requested ahead of time.

The owners have adopted several sustainable energy saving practices, including solar panels, recycling and composting. Longnook Meadows Farm is a stone's throw away and offers ultra fresh organic vegetables.

Whatever your vacation expectations, you will find that living in this beautiful post and beam studio home is a dream come true.

    Wonderful hosts. The kitchen was well stocked and equipped. The entire home was beautifully decorated and comfortable. You could see from the front living room through the kitchen-dining room to the screened porch. Very light and airy. Also had a lovely deck with potted flowers, a grill area and outdoor shower. The front and back gardens were lovely. Hopefully, will return next year.

    This is the fourth (or fifth?) summer we've stayed at Chris and Janie's place, and it's hard to imagine staying anywhere else. It has everything we want/need -- including the fantastic and large screened porch, where we work, read, eat, and generally loaf around, enjoying the quiet and looking at birds in the day and fireflies at night -- and Chris and Janie are lovely hosts. With the bedroom upstairs and the pullout futon in the living room, we were able to easily accommodate the rotating family and friends who visited with us this time around. Just wish we could have stayed longer!

    Every amenity you could think of - including heated floors. Beautiful, immaculate, converted barn with very high ceilings, large open rooms, and furnished outdoor patio(s) We are serious cooks - even on vacation - and the kitchen was a chef's dream, complete with under counter lighting that supplemented modern track lighting. Very quiet as well.

    Beautiful 2BR with full kitchen, great porch in a quiet neighborhood in Truro. About a 1 1/4 mile walk to Longnook beach. Very responsive and helpful hosts. Terrific.

    We've stayed in the Studio several times over the last few years, and we feel lucky every time we're there. The open layout, cathedral ceilings, outdoor deck (with excellent gas grill), and huge screened in porch make the feel and functional space of the house much larger than it might appear from the outside. That screened in porch is the star of the show: we ate almost every meal out there, drank our morning coffee watching the birds and chipmunks in the woods, and had a bunch of friends over for dinner. The immaculate kitchen has tons of storage, all the cookware, dishes, and utensils you could possibly need, and considerate directions on how to use and maintain appliances. The place is immaculately clean and beautifully maintained, and I mean every corner, including the basement and outdoor shower. It's close to everything: ocean beaches, bay beaches, ponds, restaurants, and markets. There's even a little organic farmstand around the corner you can walk to in less than a minute. Janie and Chris are wonderful, kind, and responsive hosts. We almost missed out this year, which just about broke our hearts, but managed to slip in at the last minute due to a cancellation. For us, the Studio is the perfect place to decompress on the Cape.

    Roomy, clean, well-equipped property in a quiet wooded area. Close to most outer Cape activities.

    You cannot find a better location on Cape Cod. Beautiful home within walking distance of one of the most beautiful beaches on the Cape.

    Nestled in the forest close to longnook, a multitude of birds songs would great us in the morning, even a deer would walk by while we're sitting quieting on the immersive screened porch. A lot of personalized charm in this nature lover's barn, a new post and beam structure with old charm. A soulful place.
