If you’re looking for an off the beaten path, rustic kind of vacation look no further. This place has so much rustic country charm you won’t to leave. It’s quiet, it’s peaceful, it’s absolutely beautiful on the lake. The cottage is super cozy, the beds were super comfortable and the lakeside doc/beach is what made it perfect for us (and our dogs). Overall, we ate, we read, we sunbathed, we napped and then started it all over again until bedtime. We came home well rested. Our vacation was totally stress free!! Andrea and her husband were lovely. We’ll be back for sure!!

Andrea and Kenny's cabin provided a wonderful respite from the frenetic pace of life. The 1915's cabin is rustic, yet also has an updated bathroom, wifi and all the toys for the Pond: dock, kayaks, (these personable and gracious hosts left us their own personal ones after floating by!), an electric boat, canoe, fire pit, etc.....
The view from the deck is even nicer than the picture. The families of geese will swim by regularly, and the fish will constantly approach the shore in the warm, crystal clear water that serves as a reservoir, if needed. This is very secluded and family/pet friendly. The house has everything you will need for a stay on the pond. You are surprisingly only fifteen minutes from Plymouth's wonderful restaurants, stores and beaches inland or along the ocean. However, you'll never feel that close. This is peaceful, pond living in a special place where homes are passed down from one generation to another. Thank you, again!

We had a wonderful Columbus Day weekend at this great waterfront cabin. The wrap around porch and fire pit were well used and enjoyed. The boats, trolling motor and battery made fishing easy, fun and productive. We caught several large and small mouth bass - including many small mouths in the 2 to 3 pound range. Even my wife caught a couple Smallies over 2 pounds. Can’t wait to come back to try again pre- spawn.
The view is great for beautiful sunsets. The cabin is rustic but well stocked and has a great vacation vibe. Cable and Wi-Fi were appreciated.
Finally the owners were very responsive and very friendly. Very low key and flexible, which we really appreciated. Very convenient to all the Plymouth sites. All around a wonderful get away!

A fantastic property, incredible owners and the best lake front location we have visited.... We will go back and look forward to our next visit. Our two rescue border collies played endlessly in the water on the sandy beach. Good price for a phenominal 100 plus year old lake front cabin. The fishing was phenomenal and the water craft was inclusive. Highly recommended!!!

The setting is perfect for getting away from it all. The proximity to the pond was the best part, and the pond was just right for swimming in comfort. There was a sandy beach, and a dock that the dogs enjoyed jumping off of. Having the use of the kayak and canoe was an added pleasure. Having linens provided was a welcome bonus. All in all, a perfect cottage for our little group!

We would love to come back and highly recommend this property.

We had a fabulous week at this cabin. The view and the access to the pond were amazing. The fact that you have the use of the boat, canoes, and such made it even better. The water is super clear and great for swimming. It is totally secluded but yet super close to stores and reataurants. Was a great get-away and I would definitely go there again.

As above plus: owner listened attentively to our concerns about cleanliness. Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Renter must bring own soap, laundry deteregent, kitchen wraps and bags, some paper goods. Several stores for supplies nearby. Sunsets from the porch! Very relaxing but many historical sites nearby.

We had a amazing vacation at the cottage. There is a private beach with swimming, kayaking and a fire pit on the beach and its just 30 steps from the house. You wake up in the morning, open the french doors to the lake view and can sit on the deck or walk down to the sandy beach, sit in the Adirondack chairs and drink your coffee. The whole family kayaked, chased frogs, fished and swam. We visited Plymouth for all the tourist attractions and dinner some nights but then came "home" to our peaceful cabin to watch tv, sit by the fire or play cards and board games on the deck. The cottage in off on the woods but was less than 10 minutes to Plymouth attractions and even closer to stores, restaurants, bank. I would recommend to anyone is looking for a lake cabin vacation. Ken stopped by to make sure we were fine but did not intrude on our vacation at all. Really a great vacation!

Many thanks to you and your husband for helping to make our vacation in Massachusetts such an enjoyable experience.
The cottage is lovely and the work you all have done is clearly a labor of love. The pond is pristine and serene. It was very restful not to hear the drone of gasoline motors or jet skis so common on most lakes. The sunsets were gorgeous, especially when viewed from the dock or porch. The watercraft and fishing equipment were much appreciated fringe benefits which my children particularly enjoyed. We all enjoyed seeing the turtles in Turtle Cove.
The cottage was a wonderful place at which to relax and return to after a day of local sightseeing. Plymouth was very convenient to our day trips to Salem, Concord, Boston, Braintree, the Cape and Martha’s Vineyard. One evening we went to see the Plimouth Players perform The Tempest over at Plimouth Plantation and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
And thank you for accommodating our dog, Danny. My wife could not bear to leave him home. It was cute how he would go out and sit on the driveway in the mornings and wait for Duke to come over to play.

We stayed for an extended weekend in September 2010 and the cottage was exactly as described. The cottage was rustic but had all the modern conviences such as flat screen tv, microwave and coffee maker. The property was secluded but just 10 minutes away their was shopping and dining. The view of the pond and the sunsets were beautiful. The property was clean and the owner answered all my questions in a timely manner. We brought our dogs and enjoyed miles of hiking trails nearby. Everyone was very friendly. I would highly recommend this property to someone who is looking to get away but wants to be close enough for shopping and dining.

We rented the house for a week this summer. It was terrific. Despite the worst weather of the summer we had a wonderful time... sitting about 100 feet from the quiet, peaceful lake (only about 25 houses around the whole lake), and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The house is charming, secluded and well maintained. Plus all the necessities (cooking utensils, sheets, towels) are provided. In addition, there is a TV and DVD player in case, as we were, you are stuck with days upon days of rain. The small beach is sandy and easily accessible and the use of the boats was an unexpected delight. It is about a 10 minute from downtown Plymouth with all the restaurants and attractions. We would highly recommend this.

We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a restful, beautiful vacation stay! The owners went the extra mile to insure that we enjoyed our stay. The cabin was perfect, and easily accomodated our 5 small children. The lake was warm and the scenery beautiful. Travel into Plymouth was easy, and getting to Boston was also easy from this location. There are many nearby beaches. We enjoyed our stay and had no complaints or concerns!

This cottage is such a find. We wanted fishing, relaxing and sunsets. What we got was so much more. Boats for the kids ( boys, ages 11 and 14) to use for fishing , a battery motor to get across the lake to a beach whose sand mimics Cancun ( seriously) , a sturdy and comfortable hammock that induced many afternoon naps, and an incredible 'cabin' feel to this cottage.
Clean, well maintained and fully stocked with every amenity, including paper goods, beach towels for each family member , and a kitchen that provided for every cooking detail. The bedrooms are small,but the decorated linens give them a quaint home like feel. The sleeping cubby is a perfect hideaway for the child in your party who likes to play in forts. The best part of this property is the wrap around deck. We ate many meals out there, watching sunset after beautiful sunset. With a full table and chairs, and then more wooden recliner chairs on the other end- you could easily host an outdoor meal for family and friends who may drop in. Andrea Scott is a gracious, unassuming host who succeeded with my family in making us feel so welcome, from the bowl of fruit upon arrival, to the comprehensive attractions binder, that guided us to all the wonderful areas to explore in Plymouth. With Plymouth Harbor less than 2 miles away, the Whale Watch tour from Captain John's is a must. I would highly recommend a stay at this cottage. My husband and I and our two sons are already planning our return next summer.
