We had a lovely time staying here! The house is just perfect and in a great location to walk to everything. Having the pond right outside our door was a lot of fun with the kids including catching our first fish!
They provided everything needed and were at the ready to answer any questions. Hope to be back one day!

The home is lovely, very functional with 3 full bathrooms. We even watched their HGTV renovation show the first rainy day.
The only problem was being awoken by the fire alarms on multiple nights but the owners have changed them so we would rent this property again. If you call them and don’t hear within an hour text them.

This house is exactly what we thought it would be, a quaint antique home in a picturesque setting. My son caught two small mouth bass in the pond and we enjoyed exploring the lower cape. The Heritage museum was a worthy excursion. We only wish that we dedicated more of our road trip vacation to Sandwich!

Staying at this property was like stepping back in time (with modern conveniences). The home exudes history & charm in every room. The beds were very comfortable and the 3 bathrooms were very convenient. Antiques & adorable rabbit themed knick knacks throughout the home. Decent sized dining area and gathering room allowed our family of 5 adults and 1 child plenty of room. The property is adjacent to a picturesque lake and directly across the street from the Dunbar Tea Room. Conveniently close & withing walking distance to all of the Sandwich historic district. The kitchen has a vintage looking modern gas range/oven and refrigerator. Not a lot of sitting room in the kitchen, you will need to use the dining room which is located right off of it. Two staircases allow you easy access to the upper bedrooms. Great communication from the owners of the property; check in/out was simple. If you like history, you'll want to stay at the Deacon Elder Home.
