Great Little Cottage

My wife and I found this cottage to be simply wonderful. It was spotlessly clean and the bed in master bedroom was very comfortable and great to sleep on. We did not sleep/use the twins beds in the other room but we were so pleased with the location and the cottage that we are actually thinking of taking our grandson (age 4) and staying there again next year. All the usual accoutrements one might need in/for the kitchen were there and the fridge/freezer was great and immaculately clean and the AC great. The cottage and lake it sits is a just very peaceful place (note:we were there just after Labor Day so the Cape was not as busy as it is during the summer but it is set back a good ways off Rte 6 so I think it would be a pretty quiet place even in the summer). The lake itself is simply beautiful and great for swimming (we did a lot of swimming) or fishing (the lake has plenty of bass in it and we saw other guests catch quite a few bass). Also, it is pretty close to the Cape Cod Rail Trail (easy walking distance) as well as a bike/rental shop. We rented bikes rather than bring our own since we had used our Mini Cooper convertible to get to the cape but we easily walked to the bike rental place (10-15 minutes tops) to rent the bikes and then rode them back to the cottage. The cottage is also a quick bike ride to the national Seashore/Coast Guard National Beach so we could ride the bikes directly to the beach rather than parking in the lot and taking the tram down to the beach.

Pefect place for exploring and fishing

Nauset Haven is a wonderful little oasis that works perfectly for a quite lake getaway or a base to explore Cape Cod. The cottage itself is a great size and easily large enough for 2-4 people. It was well decorated such that you felt like you were in Cape Cod and well equipped with everything you need from the kitchen to the beach to entertaining kids. The location is perfect, being right off Route 6 and between the ocean and bay side of the cape. Easy to get to many key sites and towns across the cape. The lake really is the selling point though. It is one of a small cluster of cottages on the lake which share a small beach, swimming platform and boat doc. Row boats are available for free and kayaks for rent. Lovely swimming off the beach and great fishing both from the dock and row boats. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location on the Cape and right on a pond.

The cabin is centrally located on the cape making it easy to explore. I went to see the National Seashore but discovered Brewster Flats and fell in love. The rustic cabin is on Ministers Pond with tow boats it’s own dock and beach. It was great to have my coffee on the dock in the morning, listening to the cacophony of birds and watching the warm morning light rise on the pond. The cabin, itself, could stand some updating effort. Yet, it is stocked with anything you may need in the kitchen. Linens weren’t provided so I used the Furies in Wellfleet. I wouldn’t recommend them. They didn’t deliver the linens the day I arrived and I picked them up next day. Caroline was very amenable, pleasant and open to feedback. I trust she will take care of the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Jacobson

I have loved coming to Cape Cod since my childhood. Now I get to share that love with my family. We loved to "Escape" to the Cape & our Nauset Haven cottage!

Why they chose this property

We loved this cottage, right on Minister's Pond. Having the private beach, rowboats, and swimming docks were the perfect bonus feature. We knew our family would enjoy many wonderful vacations here when we first stepped into the cottage.

Eastham was the perfect location with all that it offers: Cape Cod National Seashore, including one of the Top Ten Beaches - Coast Guard Beach, the Bayside beaches which have been perfect with a young family, the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and more!

What makes this property unique

Nauset Haven is a wonderful vacation spot. Wake up to a waterfront view, enjoy the lovely views from the screened-in porch, and spend time at the private beach and swimming/boat docks. The boys love the fishing and I love reading on the porch. It truly is our "Escape."
