Great house in a great setting on Swan Pond. Excellent communication with owner, easy check in process, and the house is clean and comfortable. We loved using the kayaks to explore the pond. It was the perfect place to spend our two weeks on Cape Cod.

Cape Cod family weekend

The house was perfect for the 7 of us. We loved using the kayaks and fire pit. We had everything we needed to enjoy beautiful weather outside. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked and offered the essentials for cooking. I always appreciate having spices and basic oils so that we don't have to purchase such things. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful location

This was a great little cottage, with such a gorgeous view of the lake in the back. It was nice and clean and well-decorated, and the kitchen and game closet were fully stocked. The outdoor spaces with the hammock were really enjoyable. My favorite part was kayaking out to the tidal river, where we saw so many different birds and sea life. The only suggestion I can make is that master bedroom mattress was starting to sag and might need an update/flip, but other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! A wonderful location, just a short drive to the beach and various restaurants but in a nice quiet neighborhood. I definitely recommend this lovely spot on the cape.

Perfect getaway spot

The house was adorable and very clean & well organized. The lake was lovely, and we had a lot of fun using the kayaks. Location was great too; it was a short drive to go-carts, trampolines, mini golf, shops, ice cream, restaurants, etc. We really enjoyed our stay!

This cozy home was an amazing place to spend a week with my family. The yard was perfect for us plus our extended family to play and visit. The plethora of watercraft and lifevests made our time on the pond so relaxing. Great location, well appointed home. Highly recommend!!

The quintessential Cape Cod Cottage!

It has everything you could want in a Cape Cod stay - water front, quiet location but near lovely downtown Harwichport, beaches, entertainment, and restaurants. Plenty of sleeping room, cedar shingles, blooming hydrangeas, two patios AND a deck, and an outdoor shower! Would definitely rent here again.

Wonderful stay

We loved staying here. Location in MidCape allowed us to visit the entire area. We loved the view of the pond and it actually was much bigger than we thought. We rode the bike trails, visited Provincetown, took the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. Went to an amazing beach. We rode our bikes in the neighborhood and took out the canoe. I would not hesitate to book this property again

My husband and I stayed here for our one year wedding anniversary. It was quiet, serene, and private.

A beautiful property

We loved our stay on Indian Trail. The house looks small from the outside but it is very spacious with 4 bedrooms. It is very clean, quiet and extremely comfortable with every amenity you could want. The view over Swan Pond is gorgeous and we spent many happy hours sitting on the deck watching the wildlife. It is in a great location for visiting all areas of the Cape which we did. There are lots of really good local eateries nearby. If you enjoy canoeing and boating this is a perfect spot. We would highly highly recommend this property and . communication with John was great.

Nice relaxing place

The house was very clean and all was as described and everything worked well. Its a great setting on the pond, very peaceful - we took advantage of the canoe. Great for biking, the rail trail is less than 2 miles away and beaches easily reached. The deck table was broken but that wasnt a problem as the weather was not the best! The house was just right for our stay.
