This is a classically beautiful 1840's farmhouse that has been comfortably updated. The main house is handsomely appointed with antique and contemporary furniture, and has a living room, library, eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a half bath. A roomy screened porch off the kitchen overlooks conservation land and a serene landscape and is the perfect spot for morning coffee or al fresco dining. After a day at the beach, enjoy the outdoor shower before a nap on the porch.
Theoriginal barn has been converted to a charming, bright and airy lofted guesthouse. It has a complete second kitchen and a huge stone table in the dining area that seats 10. This guesthouse has a full bath and sleeps four. All beds have covers and pillows, but not sheets or pillowcases.
The buildings are surrounded by gardens with wisteria, roses and flowering shrubs. The two-acre property is very private yet is close to all of Wellfleet's attractions: bike or drive to the galleries and restaurants, the ocean beaches, the warm bay beaches and the famous freshwater ponds.
We rent Friday to Friday and have a seven-day minimum. Arrive early to avoid late-Friday traffic and enjoy some great local cuisine while we sanitize the house for you. Our house-cleaner is meticulous.
*Lease is required and will be sent after booking by William Raveis Real Estate
Important: Linens are NOT provided but a linen service can be arranged.

Keywords: Antique Farmhouse, detached guesthouse, near ponds, mile to town, three miles to famous Newcomb Hollow beach; freshwater ponds are closer still

    We had a wonderful stay. The grounds are stunning and the two houses were charming and comfortable, perfect for our extended family group of 10. The screened-in porch can accommodate a large group and we ate most of our meals there. Great location - easy access from Rt 6, but also an easy bike ride to Wellfleet Center without having to get on the highway. Also great access to beautiful and uncrowded bay beaches. Owner is very responsive and accommodating.

    The grounds are landscaped nicely and the screened in porch with a dining table was great. Unfortunately the main house is full of mold. The kitchen counter is an old butcher block counter used for cutting in the past 30+ years and it is full of black mold. It needs to be replaced. The downstairs bathroom in the main house has mold on the walls even a bedside table was full of mold. The blankets in the main house were musty. The owners need to invest a little money to make the house healthy. The barn is nice. The oven in the barn doesn’t heat up.

    The grounds were amazing. It was like staying in an arboretum! And the house had a feeling of Bloomsbury. Perfect.

    The house - really two houses - were great for our family since the barn/loft worked well for the infant and his parents and the main house was great for the rest of us. Neat furniture and artwork - you could tell that the owners put a lot of time into it.

    We had a great stay in August at this property. The grounds are beautiful and the house is a classic old cape. The barn came in handy for the kids. The house was stocked with all we needed aside from linens, which we knew. It was very hot during our week on the cape and the house became stuffy but it is outfitted with many fans. The only other downside is the mosquitoes were pretty intense around the property and some of the screens need repaired. But overall we had a nice time and we're able to access both Truro and Wellfleet easily from here.

    The house is very nice and the grounds are spectacular. The only problem was the heat (not controlled by the owner) and the many breaks in the screens, so that we were all bothered by mosquitos on the great porch. Otherwise, great.

    The house and converted barn are both beautifully furnished and decorated with wonderful old prints, posters, and other art work. Very spacious and comfortable, with an amazing garden, lots of different plantings and areas. The large, airy eat-in porch is another great attraction. Very convenient to downtown Wellfleet, but far enough away that it feels very idyllic. We'd love to stay here again.

    Amazing property, lots of culture and cool artifacts from around the world. The detached barn space is really a game changer. Great outdoor space and barn for the whole group to spend time together. Beautiful landscaping. Great location, close to everything you need to get to. Great place for a group of couples (like us), or a group of friends to get away for the weekend. Good privacy from neighbors as well. Bring your own linens, including hand towels and bath mats. Bring your own charcoal for the charcoal grill. Bring your own toilet paper, only one roll per bathroom is provided. Bring a few outdoor chairs/umbrellas so everyone has a place to sit. outside.

    This is a remarkable property in every way - the homes, the decor, the gardens, and the location are all heavenly. However, THEY DO NOT PROVIDE LINENS, so make sure you bring your own sheets and towels (we were not prepared!). No information available about the house, other than the cleaning they expected us to do before leaving, so there is some fumbling about to find things. That said, I'd come back in a heart beat and highly recommend this beautiful, serene get away.

    Although this was, for us, a honeymoon stay, we enjoyed it with wonderful friends. The spaciousness allowed everyone to have the privacy they needed, while still having the fun of sharing a good time with friends. The two houses can clearly handle up to about 10 people (there were eight of us). The grounds are gorgeous. The owners are professional horticulturalists and the grounds have been laid out beautifully, highlighting the best elements of Cape Cod's flora. The facilities made our stay comfortable. The location was easy to Provincetown, to downtown Wellfleet, the beaches, and historic places along the cape. Without hesitation, this will be a place we'll come back to. If you choose to stay here, you won't regret it. A beautiful and memorable time. I know that our pictures will never fully capture the wonder of the place, but my memory will always hold it dear to me.
