Dennis, Massachusetts
My family has owned the property since 1914. We re-built the house in the summer of 2006 so the home is still relatively new. It is a very clean, uncluttered, and relaxing home. The home was built with extra wide door-ways so that wheelchairs can go through them. There are 4 steps to get up onto the porch to gain access to the main house, so some mobility is required to get in the home. There are also a dozen or so large rock steps to get down to the lake beach.
*****The exits on Route 6 have changed. In years past you would get off on Exit 8 (Union Street). This has changed to Exit 75*****
For summer week rentals (mid June through early September), we offer our home as a Sunday to Sunday rental. The traffic is significantly lighter on Sundays than on Saturdays. The Sunday to Sunday rental is also great for those traveling to the cape for Saturday weddings/parties. During the spring and fall months we are more flexible and can beginning any day of the week.
The home is cleaned and sanitized every week between rentals. All bedding is washed and / of changed between rentals. We keep 2-3 sets of bedding linens for each bed. We also provide a supply of sanitizing products, gloves, and masks.

We had a great stay here. Marta and Betsy were very welcoming hosts and were very responsive throughout the week. The house is a perfect lake retreat and has a lot of toys for the family to enjoy like kayaks, canoe, a ping pong table, foosball, etc. It’s also nice to be able to walk to the center of town and beaches. We would definitely come back again!
Beautiful secluded all inclusive house in a great location. Convenient to all the Cape has to offer. Marta is a wonderful responsive host. We would definitely rent again. Thank You Paul Norwalk, CT
Beautiful home set back from the road. We had solitude and peace and quiet but were still close to all the cape has to offer. Private beach with free water craft is a plus too.
We rent a lot of houses and this is the only one that we have stayed at more than once, in fact this was our third time. Marta is a great host and the house is great. It is private, has a great view of the lake, central air conditioning and the lake itself is amazing. Nice private beach area and when you go into the lake it is not mucky like many lakes. Many water toys provided as well. Hopefully we will be able to keep on renting this house. Highly recommend.
Marta’s house in Dennis is really fantastic. I actually think that the listing doesn’t do justice to either the inside or outside. It was nicer than I expected. The house is roomy, comfortable and really well-equipped, again inside and out. The location is perfect. It is a 10-15-minute walk to good restaurants, a bakery, etc. and yet when you are at the house you are in the woods with not a sound to disturb you. The lake is gorgeous and I can’t describe how nice it is to see that lake from the comfortable screened porch or the lounge chairs on the lawn. We spent a lot of time relaxing with our books, inside and out. There are 3 roomy bedrooms (good beds) as well as a spare bed in the upstairs sitting area. The bathrooms are good. The kitchen is excellent, with every pot, pan, utensil, etc., that you need. We went to Petersen’s fish market a short drive away to pick up fresh fish each day and enjoyed preparing dinner at home. And the living room is very comfy for hanging out. My only caution would be that the Internet service is not strong, in case you were planning to do work while away, Zoom calls, et. Marta kindly checked in regularly to be sure that we were doing well. It was a delight to stay there.
We had a wonderful time. The house has everything you need. Lots of towels, soaps, spices, pans and dishes. I brought to much of my own things i never used. Everything was clean. Marta ( the owner was a peach). Their were boats to use and the lake was sooo clean. Its also close to restaurants and food shopping. I will definitely return again.
We could not have asked for a more perfect place to enjoy school vacation. This property is located right on Main Street with all the associated convenience, but yet it feels like you are isolated on a small relatively private lake. The house is perfect and had everything we needed. The large screened in porch is wonderful and everyone in our family enjoyed it including our Golden Retriever who liked to just lay on the porch and look out at the yard and the lake. The lake is amazing and we all really enjoyed using the kayaks, canoe, and peddle boat. We also really enjoyed fishing in the lake. The house is very close to many excellent restaurants and multiple beaches. Additionally, Marta and Mark were absolutely outstanding hosts. We would highly recommend the place to friends and family and really hope that we have the chance to stay again in the future.
This Dennis property is truly a cabin in the woods -- remote, quiet, and relaxing. Even though we were walking distance to the town of Dennis, we felt really secluded when at the property. The setting was lovely. We kayaked on the lake enjoying the crisp fall air and beautiful fall foliage. Sitting on the private beach for sunrise or star gazing was a special treat. Marta was a diligent an attentive owner. She contacted us in advance with tips for enjoying the property and again during our stay. She and her husband even met us at check-in which was so friendly. The home is a lovely cabin with updated amenities and nostalgic features like a broad screened porch. It's clear that the family has enjoyed many seasons at this peaceful property.
My family, 2 dogs and I loved staying here on Scargo Lake. The house was perfect for the 9 of us with the pups. Very spacious, clean (Covid clean), private and had everything you possibly needed. Marta the host was wonderful. Very attentive for any need that may have arrived and genuine. We would love to go back soon! We highly recommend staying here. We loved it!
We had an extended family vacation with both young kids and adults. The week was just wonderful. The accommodations were excellent with many amenities and fun activities for all ages. There were boats and floats (including life vests) for the lake and lawn games for the yard. There were lots of games in the closet and VCR movies for night time or rainy days (fortunately not many of those for us!). The beaches were close by (make sure to go early - the parking lot fills up fast!) and beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!
