Alluring history meets modern luxury in this enchanting in-town residence with all the coveted creature comforts.
First, consider the location. Directly on Main Street in the heart of Barnstable Village, it's a short walk to Barnstable Marina with its intriguing waterfront dining choices, whale watches and charter fishing boats. Walk in the other direction to Main Street's, dining, ice cream, unique shops, art fairs and more. You'll become addicted to the Barnstable Market and Nirvana Coffee Company.
When the beach beckons, sandy Millway Beach on beautiful Barnstable Harbor is just a half mile up the road.
Built in 1825 the home itself is big, beautiful and attractively finished and furnished. Discover the stunning, fully equipped kitchen. Soak in the cheery light afforded by the vaulted ceiling with skylights and handsome transom windows. You'll love gathering here.
The creative window placements also showcase the adjacent dining area, which is complemented by a pair of high boy seats at the large kitchen island. Just beyond the kitchen and dining area, the open floor plan presents an inviting lounge with curl-up-and-enjoy leather seating, a comforting gas fireplace and a flat screen smart TV.
The “front rooms” in the house include the slightly more formal dining room with another fireplace, leading to the good sized living room with plenty of lounge seating and another flat screen smart TV.
There's one bedroom on the main level, with an adjacent full bath, the ideal solution for an older couple or single in your group with mobility issues, for whom stairs can be a challenge.
Anticipating that some guests may need to work remote while in residence, the owner has thoughtfully provided two work stations, one on the main level, another upstairs.
The main level also has a half bath just off the formal dining room.
The second level offers three more discreet bedrooms, the primary with a king size bed, one more queen bedroom and one with bunks. There is another sleeping area with a single twin bed with a pull-out trundle under. The beautifully renovated full bath on the second level is also home to the stackable washer/ dryer.
One last set of stairs leads to the third level, where you'll find an enormous “Captain's Quarters” guest room with a comfy queen size bed. The room is completely custom wood paneled, including the striking coffered ceiling. The window up here provides an arresting elevated view of Main Street below.
The home is air conditioned via strategically placed window units on the main level and a central system serving the two upper levels. The smart TVs are Cable enabled and the home has high speed WiFi, of course.
Outdoor living at this property also offers a variety of elegant choices. The open deck includes bench seating plus a table and chairs for dining al fresco, making good use of the gas grill. There's also a hot tub here, a wonderful way to relax at the end of the day. You'll also find an enclosed outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and salt after a visit to the beach. An attractive brick patio off the deck with a café table and chairs provides yet another place to enjoy the carefully tended fenced in yard and gardens.
An additional feature: the freestanding barn with a home theater projector and screen and ping pong table. Here you'll also find beach chairs, a cooler and a wagon which makes it practical to walk to the beach and leave your car at the house.

We loved our week on the cape staying at Mill and Main. The house was very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. We enjoyed the quirky layout of the house as it led to greater privacy with a big family group. The little beach just down the road was perfect for little kids and the proximity to grocery stores was super convenient. Our only complaint was that it was kind of loud from traffic noise and especially fire trucks blaring out from the firehouse down the block.
Whoever outfitted this rental thought of everything. It's the Felix the Cat of houses, if you need something just open a door or drawer and you'll likely find it. The house had a variety of gathering spaces that allowed our group to come together as a group or break off into smaller groups. Easy walk to shops, not really too far to walk to the beach.
We came to the Cape for a week after not being here for 25 yrs. This house was great! Close to town, beautiful yard, so much that we didn’t even use(hot tub, ping pong table, extra bedrooms). Everyone loved it, kitchen was well equipped, comfy beds and pillows, charming place!
Perfect location: private, close to the beach, mall, grocery stores, restaurants. The house had games and plenty of space for our group of 8 adults. Even on a holiday weekend the host was responsive and helpful!
We were very pleased with our experience at Mill & Main! The house was spacious and easily accommodated our blended family of teens, adults, a toddler, and dogs! The house had everything we needed and more, including a ping-pong table, outdoor games, a projector screen in the garage, and plenty of books and board games. We loved being able to walk to the harbor, enjoyed some meals in the surrounding towns and nearby, as well as several nights cooking at home with the family. (The hot tub and outdoor shower were also a plus!) We highly recommend this property to families of various ages and will gladly book again in the future if we find ourselves in Barnstable!
Everything was exactly as described. Couldn’t have been a nicer trip. Loved the house!
This property was incredible. The kitchen was well stocked and was great to cook in. The jacuzzi was incredible, the barn with projector set-up was cozy and fun, the grill was gassed up and clean. The house had plenty of space for 6 people. The coffee shops are less than a 5 min walk. We would absolutely stay here again. Its a great stay for friends and family wanting to hangout and catch-up. The host made everything have a welcoming vibe by having the home stocked and a feel of generosity. I can't wait to come back!
Amazinf location in the center of it all in Barnstable village. Walking distance to great spots and a classic caps cod home
This property was amazing. It had everything we wanted for our party of 10!. A special perk was the hottub! We had a plumbing issue and management was right there to fix it. I would highly recommend this property.
Mill and Main was the perfect spacious house for our family of 9. Our stay was the third week in June. The house has a very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and beautiful outdoor space. Everything was in perfect working order and clean from the house, to the grill, jacuzzi, and washer/dryer. The location for my family 26 yr old to 80 was perfect. Walkable was a priority when we were looking for a home to rent. We were able to walk to all the local restaurant and enjoyed each one. Who wants to cook every night! The location was also great for touring the cape. We had only wished we could stay longer! Thank you for making us feel right at home. We will definitely stay at Mill and Main again in the future.
