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!

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.

We had such a nice visit with my family. The house was very cute and cozy and accommodated the space that we needed. The backyard was great and view of the pond was beautiful. I wish the weather was better so we could have enjoyed it more!

This house was a real gem. The yard was beautiful, and we were fortunate to have the swans visiting us almost every day. It’s a great location and I would definitely rent this place again.

The house is very quaint, well maintained, clean & tidy. The backyard is serene on Swan pond. Kayaking the pond to Swan River and out to Nantucket Cove was spectacular.

We had a terrific time at this property. We were looking for a quick get away before school started and this place was exactly what we needed. We hardly left because we had everything we needed there. We used the kayaks provided several times as well as the canoe. Thanks again!!

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.

House was beautifully situated on a saltwater pond. Found horseshoe crabs and blue crabs all week. Lots of nice outdoor spaces to hang out and kayaks, canoe to use as well. House was as described and clean. We would certainly consider this house again. Thank you.

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. We loved the backyard, the location was great to get to stores and restaurants and the inside of the home was comfy, updated and super clean. We will be coming back. Also, such a bonus that check in is at 2pm, it really allows you to enjoy your first day there. Thanks for a great stay!

I like to find a different place to stay at the Cape every year. This house was perfect. The views, the location, and the size of the house all perfect. We spent all our time outside in the backyard. I don't think I'll be looking for a different place anymore.

The rental is exactly what is posted. The owners respond quick to any inquiries. The location is great. Loved sitting outside and being on the lake.

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.

Had the best spring break trip with our kids. The place was clean, efficient and had everything you needed. The backyard was very peaceful, kayaks, hammock and we even had a visit from a beautiful swan. It was central to everything we wanted to visit and just enough space for all of us. Communication was simple and any questions were answered instantly. Loved every minute of our trip and would definitely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful place!

WE loved everything about the house. I can't think of anything that would be lacking in amenities. My husband had just had a major surgery so he recuperated in place while we visited the cape. He had a wonderful spot to watch osprey, egrets, swans geese etc. The house was very clean and although I seemed to have a VRBO glitch John rectified matters in top time. Thank you!

Our family is familiar with this section of the Cape. This very nice home was on the end of swan pond. The access was fabulous and the amenity of kayaks, a canoe and row boat made water access so easy. The last day a swan mom dad and baby came upon the lawn to visit us! Sunsets so beautiful.

What a lovely Cape house to rent! My husband and I choses this house specifically for the pond location. After a day at the beach, or if you wanted to just laze around, you had so many options at your fingertips; Kayaks, Canoe, hammock naps, lawn games. We adored the charm of the Somes' home! Especially the outdoor shower which is a MUST down the cape! Thank you, John and Laura, for opening your home to our family. We truly enjoyed every second of our stay!

10/10

I've been vacationing on the Cape since I was small and never knew this little neighborhood existed - it is truly a hidden gem. The property is just the right blend of traditional cottage mixed with modern decor. It was spotless and had everything we needed. The yard has seating areas perfectly placed for sun or shade at any time of day. We loved being able to get out on the kayaks at a moment's notice and my husband caught a striper (almost a keeper!) right from the yard. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this property again.

The house was just as described, clean and tastefully decorated in a beach theme and well maintained. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and organized. The air conditioners cooled the entire house nicely. We enjoyed the five seating areas in the yard. The pond was perfect for kayaking. The outside shower was handy. Our favorite beach, Mayflower, was just an easy scenic drive away. The owners were very helpful, and responded quickly to our emails. This is an exceptional rental ! We had a wonderful week !

This house radiates the love that has been put into it by the owners - it is comfortable, tastefully appointed, and very homey. We have found that not all properties are as listed online, but this was even nicer than the pictures. The pond is a nature lover's dream. As kayakers, it was wonderful to not have to cart ours, because there are 4 on the property already. The daily presence of egrets, herons, kingfishers, swans and the call of an osprey lifted our spirits. It is a slice of the Outer Cape on the Mid-Cape! Our grandsons LOVED catching (and releasing) crabs and tiny pond dwellers. We loved returning to the super comfortable patio, hammock and outdoor firepit after exploring and beach visits. We plan on returning as soon as possible!

This beautifully decorated, fully equipped cottage on Swan Lake is perfect for families with children of all ages. We really enjoyed the layout of the cottage and the careful considerations the owners took in decorating and furnishing it. Kids and adults enjoyed using the kayaks and canoes multiple times a day; there were plenty of board games and indoor spaces if you happen to have a rainy day. The table and chairs by the lake were perfect for relaxing and drinking your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The swans on the lake visit most mornings and evenings and add to the tranquility of your stay. There was so much to do at the cottage, but so many stores, restaurants, beaches and miniature golf that were close to drive or walk to. Friendly neighbors and a quiet neighborhood added to the relaxation of the vacation. We did not need anything, but did have a question for John and Laura who replied very quickly. Perfect cottage for a relaxing family vacation.
