**New in 2024 - outdoor shower and sauna**. This antique carriage barn – completely renovated in 2018 – is situated on seven acres of private land nestled next to a beautiful pond. From your comfy abode you will have a view of the forest and, from your large deck, you will gaze out over the spacious lawns at the pond. Take a short paddle in a canoe or kayak (boats included) across this pond to the sandy beach and the clear, perfect swimming water of Long Pond, Cape Cod’s largest fresh water body. Grab your fishing pole to catch a largemouth bass in the prized fishing pond. The salt water beaches on Cape Cod Bay are a ten-minute drive, as is Main Street with such treats as the Brewster General Store, the Brewster Scoop ice cream shop, the Brewster Bookshop, the Brewster Fish House, Hopkins House bakery (best muffins and pies on the Cape) and the Snowy Owl (Cape Cod's best coffee shop). The ocean beach in Orleans is fifteen minutes by car; so is downtown Chatham.
The carriage house, built in 1883, has been lovingly restored. Most of the original beams and boards remain. It has been decorated with a mixture of antiques and comfortable new furniture. The first floor has a large room with dining and sitting areas as well as a kitchen area with modern appliances. There is a large full bath with tiled shower and heated floor, also located on the first floor (guests rave about the water pressure). The second floor has two bedrooms, a sitting area with a queen-sized fold-out couch, and a half bath. With the fold-out couch, the house can accommodate up to six people but please note that we usually do not allow six adults but will consider case by case exceptions. For more than four people, there is an extra charge of $25 per person per night for each person over age 10. There is AC throughout the house; the upstairs rooms have ceiling fans. There is an outdoor shower on the property for your use (FYI we also use it when we are home in the main house).
The owners live in the main house on the property and look forward to making your stay as perfect as possible. There is wifi suitable for streaming movies and shows but no TV in the carriage house. The downstairs has Sonos.
We are happy to accommodate rentals starting and ending on any day of the week, depending upon availability. We will consider requests to stay less than 7 days on a case by case basis. Monthly renters receive a ten percent discount. Please also note that under Massachusetts law there is no tax on rentals of 32 days or more.
