About this house rental
This quintessential sun filled 576 square foot Cape Cottage is located in the historic Fort Hill area. The home has been fully renovated with modern design and amenities. There is an outdoor shower, screened in porch, gas grill, fireplace and central A/C and ceiling fans for the summer months. The home is well appointed in simplistic and comfortable style. It s the perfect spot for a couple or small family. Please note, the maximum guests are two individuals. Given that this is a small house, the cottage has limited closet space. There is ample storage under the beds for clothes and two areas with shelves available for guests. As much as we would love to host guests with dogs, some canines have not been well behaved at the cottage. We no longer can allow dogs or pets of any kind.
The home is a very short walk to Fort Hill and preserved uplands on the National Seashore with spectacular views of Nauset Marsh and the Outer beach. Multiple trails lead you though groves of maple, past Native American historic sites to Hemenway Landing for launching your kayak or boat.

We have been staying here for years!
Love the location and design aesthetic!

Absolute perfect location and layout. Loved being able to sit on the screened porch to begin and end the day - we never even used the living room. The outdoor shower had direct access to the bathroom. Kitchen was spacious with plenty of room for two to work. This location can't be beat for access to mid and outer cape. The view from Fort Hill is one of the prettiest on the cape. Would 100% stay again.

Marin was easy to reach and quickly responsive to a problem that arose with internet access, bravely tackling the robo- and 'human person' nightmare of the cable company. It is a nice location, a clean property and very comfortable. It would even be better if there was a line to hang-dry towels, etc, and maybe some shelving for 'stuff.'

A cozy, clean and comfortable little house, great for 2 people. The host was very responsive to our questions. We had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Beautifully refurbished with hardwood floors, working fireplace, immaculate kitchen with stainless steel appliances and everything you need for your stay, oThis cottage is a gem. The location is wonderful, a stones throw from Captain Penniman’s House in the Fort Hill Area. As noted, lack of closet space and privacy are the only issues.

We enjoyed Maren’s home very much. It is cute, well decorated, and had a very well stocked chef’s kitchen for cooking! The location was great, right near a beautiful nature trail and easy to access the outer cape and lower cape. The bathroom was a great size and we loved the screened in porch and fun (pug) decorations. One thing to note, as is mentioned in the description, the place is small and does not have much in the way of closets. We got creative with where we stored clothes and it was fine. Overall, I recommend this home.

The cottage was clean and artistically attractive. However, there were problems. There were no clothes closets on the premises, only a few hooks on back of doors. There was a privacy issue as there were large windows and little window coverings. The bathroom had a glass door outside the shower area that had no covering. The most disturbing problem was an insect issue. We killed several what appeared to be cockroaches during our week’s stay. Not a comfortable fit for senior travelers.

A lovely cottage with a wonderful kitchen. Very close to Fort Hill, a terrific scenic hiking area with great views. You can hear some noise from Route 6 but otherwise the setting is calm and quiet.

This place was great. I'm kind of a nerd re decor, and this met my standards. Very small, but I expected that, based on the sq ft in the listing and others reviews. Reminded me of a sailboat in the way function was incorporated into a small space. The porch and the outdoor shower are stellar. Unfortunately(!) it was not cool enough to take advantage of the fireplace. The walk to Fort Hill was so close, it was easy to scoot up to watch a few sunrises. Storing clothing was a bit of a challenge, but the extra room served well as a closet. Thanks!

Perfect location
Walking trail close to the property, we are familiar with Eastham with the great beaches and biking path. Traveled to Harwich for pickleball. The house is perfect except no place to store your clothes. We utilized the bunk beds for our clothes. Plenty of utensils, dishes and silverware.

Great location, charming cottage!
We needed extra space for our family reunion in Eastham. This cottage was within walking distance to our location and was the perfect place for one couple. We love the proximity to Fort Hill and to the bike path. The property owner was responsive and super helpful. One of our best VRBO experiences ever!

Fort Hill Escape for two
My wife and I had a wonderful week in this comfortable cottage that comes with all of the amenities that you could want. We saw the sunset and sunrise from the Fort Hill overlook, perfectly located to the beaches on the bay and on the ocean side. Looking forward to a return next year!

A perfect rental
I loved everything about this small rental suitable for 2. The screened in porch with the comfortable seating. The ceiling fans for a warmer day. The well stocked kitchen The simple pleasing decor. The natural light and great airflow with the 3 doors. The privacy from the two other cottages. And on and on. This would be hands down my most favorite rental

Great time at the Cottage!
My partner and I had the best Labor Day Weekend at Maren’s cottage. The cottage is the perfect size, artistically decorated, and complete with a fully stocked kitchen! I can’t forget to mention the amazing screened in porch that we spent most of our mornings drinking coffee on. The location of the cottage is near fort hill, which made accessing the beautiful hiking trails nearby extremely easy. Maren was also super responsive and helpful with anything we needed, and made herself available to us even before our stay began by sending us recommendations of places to visit and eat near the cottage! Thank you so much Maren and we can’t wait to come back and visit next summer!

Lovely Eastham cottage
Wonderful property in Eastham. My daughter and I came to the Cape to enjoy some time together. The cottage was quaint, well decorated and perfect for the two of us. Well stocked, comfortable and clean. We felt right at home. Near some hiking trails on the Oceanside and close to both Eastham and Orleans. Fantastic place!

Wonderful week with our pup!
My husband and I have a great stay at Maren’s cottage. It was exactly as pictured on the listing and was full of every amenity you could think of needing, including being very pet friendly! We really enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen and screened in-porch. It was easy to jump on route 6 close by and be up to wellfleet or Harwich or Chatham within 15-20 minutes. Maren gave us many excellent suggestions for things to do and restaurants with easy check- in instructions. We hope to return soon! Thank you for having such a wonderful place!

Perfect vacation cottage
This cottage was perfect for our Cape Cod honeymoon! It was light, bright and airy with a well appointed kitchen and great A/C (we stayed during a very hot week and loved coming home to a cool and comfy house). We loved having our morning coffee on the screened in porch, followed by a walk around Fort Hill. While you could hear some Route 6 traffic when outside, it was completely quiet and peaceful inside the cottage. The location was also very convenient to get to many different beaches, restaurants, and the rail trail. Maren was a fabulous host - always quick to respond and provided us with some great recommendations. We can't wait to return for years to come!

Great central location to both nature and commerce. Maren, the owner, was extraordinarily gracious and generous when I made a mistake regarding our reservation. Our first time at the Cape and we loved it.

Relaxing Gateway
Cozy home with a great kitchen, outdoor shower, and screened porch. We were close to the beach, restaurants, stores, and walking distance to the Fort Hill.
Hope to be back in a neat future!

Peaceful and bright
Everything about this cottage met or exceeded my hopes for my stay. Fun and bright furnishings, a well-equipped kitchen, lovely bath and outdoor shower, and skylights that filled the cottage with light or let us watch the rain come down. The owner quickly responded to my questions, and the on-site maintenance person was there in a flash when I couldn't get a window open. Great central location for all of the National Seashore beaches, and fabulous recommendations for dog-friendly beaches from the owner. My pup and I had a blast romping on the sand!

Fall visit to the Cape
We loved our stay at the Cape. This cottage was perfect for the two of us. It had everything we needed and was set up very well. Great location - close to the beaches and restaurants. We’ll be back for sure!

Perfect Cape Cod Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was clean and cozy. We were close to the beaches and restaurants if that’s what you wanted. We chose the beaches for sure but enjoyed most of our meals in. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and the space was just what we needed to unwind after the day out exploring. The cottage was perfect for the two of us plus our small dog. I would definitely rent again. Maren was very responsive prior to the trip. There was never a need to reach out while we were there but I have no doubt that she would get back in touch if need be. I highly recommend the cottage for a couple and their pet.

Peaceful getaway
This place was great for a weeklong stay at the Cape. The house was quiet and private (there are a few other homes on the property but they’re all thoughtfully isolated from one another). We loved sitting out on the porch with our coffee and cooking in the kitchen. Location was a quick walk to greats, a short drive to all the beaches, and easy access to the rail trail about a mile away.

Excellent cottage for Cape weekend
My partner and I really enjoyed our 4 night stay at Maren's cottage. We were close to the beach, restaurants, stores, and the walking paths at Fort Hill. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking to stay in the outer end of the Cape.

Sweet Fort Hill cottage
This Fort Hill cottage is adorable. The small space is very well-designed. Maren was great to communicate with, and we had a great Eastham week. The trails at Fort Hill are beautiful for morning walks.
