Beautiful Cottage

We could not have asked for more. The cottage itself is an old fashioned Cape Cod cottage with a nicely updated kitchen and bath. The location was quiet and secluded but close to beaches and restaurants. Scott was great with any questions. Really a perfect place if you are looking for relaxation, peace and quiet.

Classic Cape Cottage with Updated Kitchen and Bathroom

What a beautiful spot, nestled in the trees, overlooking Black Fish Creek. Comfortable cottage, well appointed kitchen. We really enjoyed sitting out back and watching the sunset while the birds put on a show. Loved the outdoor shower!

Still amazing

This was my second time renting this property. I wasn’t disappointed. I love the rustic feel of the house. It is so comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed and had any utensil I was looking for. We used the outside gas grill a lot for several kinds of fish as well as steak. I love the backyard and marsh. Scott was so responsive and helpful. The week went by very quickly. I’d love to return.

Just what I needed

The cottage is just across Blackfish Creek from the home where my family summered for thirty years. I wanted a Wellfleet immersion experience., so the cottage was perfect. It is modern in important ways, rustic in others.. Be prepared to enjoy beautiful dark nights, gorgeous sunsets,

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Cape Codder and New Yorker recently re-located to Wellfleet from Manhattan.

Why they chose this property

Main House built by Captain Scotto Foster in 1849 then purchased by the acclaimed artist Lilian Burke Meeser whose family resided here for more than 100 years. The Cottage was added in the 1950's. It was purchased, cut in two, and relocated to the property on a flat bed truck!

What makes this property unique

Considered a large property by Wellfleet standards the entire compound sits on 2.5 acres of land and over 10 acres of marsh land which is deemed a Wildlife Sanctuary and protected by the National Audubon Society and the Cape Cod National Seashore.
