Nice relaxing stay. Pond was great and rustic cabin was nice.

Our family had a wonderful week in the woods and on the lake at this property. Staying in the various rustic but clean cabins surrounded by trees but close to everything was such a source of calm and relaxation during these trying times. Anne is a wonderful host and was very responsive. We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, float, dock, sunfish, and fished on the lake. We built a campfire every night and enjoyed reconnecting and relaxing as a family. The kitchen was well stocked. Thank you!

This property is spectacular with its private pond access, cute cabins, and ample outdoor space. If you're looking for luxury features and modern lodgings, this place isn't for you. If you like the cabin life and don't mind something cozy, this place is definitely for you. The pond can't be beat and the water sports equipment is such a huge plus! Owners do live on the property (it's a massive lot and their house is a 3-4 min walk away), so you do occasionally run into them, but they are lovely.

The camp on John Joseph Pond is not to be missed. It's rustic in the best way with 3 wonderfully quirky cottages with plenty of space (there were 15 of us) on a beautiful and undeveloped piece of land with private beach and pier. You feel away from it all and yet groceries are just a short drive away. Places like this are hard to come by on the Cape. It made for a perfect two week "Camp Covid" stay for 4 families and 3 dogs.

We had a wonderful week on the pond. Two families with kids shared the property. Lots of room for all of us. Really appreciated all the great spots with lots of seating for all: at the beach, the fire pit, outdoor and indoor dining tables. Such a great getaway.

This place is so magical! It is right on the lake. We enjoyed BBQs in the evening, singing around the bonfire at night, and going kayaking during the day. This place is awesome for large groups. We went with a larger group that stayed in different houses and gathered at night in this place. There are three spots to do bonfires, lots of seating and a big space to hang out. We had no complaints about noise either. The lake is so gorgeous and it comes with several kayaks, canoes and a litle sailing boat which was really fun to try. Every morning some people would wake up and have coffee on the peer and go kayaking. The houses are rustic, and very lovingly furnished. We felt immediately at home. There is also a large kitchen and two fridges (one in another cottage) which was great for storing large quanitities of food. Thank you for making our graduation trip so amazing! We also had one child there (age 9) and she was in tears when we were leaving because she loved it so much.

Anne and Dick’s place has three good sized cabins on a beautiful piece of land that has access to two fire pits and a great private beach. Our weekend get together had 17 people and we played golf at the nearby Captains Course in Brewster which was only about a 10 minute drive. We ended our days around the fire pits while grilling on the back patio. This truly is a great location! I would highly recommend these cottages to anyone and I will definitely be coming back here again with family and friends. I can't forget to mention that Anne and Dick had delicious homemade brownies waiting for us upon arrival. The perfect vacation spot!

Anne and Dick’s place is a perfect cape cod getaway! Plenty of beds, great kitchen and lots of outdoor seating. The lake is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. This place is great for a large group! you could easily spend all your time relaxing at the house or if you want to go out they are close to beaches and restaurants. Would highly recommend these cottages to anyone!

Great place for large group. Lots of things to do nearby

These cottages are very well located. It is located on a private pond. You have everything to enjoy the pond with your kids (or without): paddle, sunfish, kayak....Our kids had a blast. The owners are very nice & accommodating. I would definitely recommend these cottage and we will all come back again. The French group.

The setting of these cottages is perfect. Located on a private pond, near ocean beaches and within close proximity to the bike trail, we always had something to do. The description of the cottages was accurate. The owners are very accommodating and helpful. I would recommend this property to a friend or would come back again.

My group of friends and I from high school try and get together for a "family" vacation every couple years. We had a group of 17 this year so it was a little difficult to find somewhere to accommodate all of us. I came across this property and knew it would be perfect. There was a lot of sleeping space and we loved the main cottage where we could all gather. Our favorite part was the pond and outdoor area. Although the location is great we did not feel the need to leave the house because we were occupied with outdoor games, boat and pond equipment and fire pits which were utilized every night. We were even greeted with freshly baked brownies from the owners Anne and Dick. I could not rave more about how great the spot is. We will certainly be visiting again!

We had a large group looking for a somewhere to stay down the Cape, and this place was perfect! The cottages themselves had plenty of space for our group, though the best part of this place is all the outdoor space. We enjoyed grilling and relaxing on the patio and around the fire pits near the cottages. The access to the pond was an amazing bonus. The beach provides a private space with access to the pond. We happily took full advantage of the dock, variety of boats, the fire pits, and the beautiful sunrise. The owners were extremely friendly and easy to work with. While we were easily able to explore nearby for restaurants and night life, we didn't really need or want to leave! Overall we were incredibly happy with our stay, and our definitely already considering a return visit!

I have stayed here twice already and have just booked my third visit this fall because I am in love with this place. Me and about 12 other women come and relax, do yoga, do bonfires and hang on the water. Most of us are coming from NYC and this place provides the perfect peace and quiet we need! I also bring my two rescue mutts and they love hanging out on the pond and going boating with us! Anne and Dick couldn't be better hosts! When you get there, there is always a plate of delicious homemade brownies! Also, the first couple of days during my last visit, it was unseasonably cold and Dick brought over firewood because he was concerned that we would be cold! I cannot say enough good things about Anne and Dick and the property! I'm sure I will be back for many, many wonderful visits!

This beautiful property is the perfect setting for a large group of friends or a family gathering. You do not have to leave the property with a large private beach to enjoy all day long and fire pits to enjoy the sunset. The owners are very easy to work with and accommodating. Highly recommended.

John Joseph Pond was the perfect place for our friends. The three cottages provided us with a lot of space so we never felt cramped. The outside of the property was charmingly rustic while the inside was equally as charming with all the modern amenities needed to make us feel comfortable. The pond was one of our favorite features! During the day we took advantage of the variety of boats available for our use and at night we utilized the fire pits down on the beach. On nights when it was too cold to venture down to the pond, it was an added bonus that there were fire pits right outside the cottages as well. John Joseph Road is conveniently located on the Cape, nothing was more than a twenty minute drive away! The owners of the property could not have been sweeter! Before arriving they sent us a detailed list about the any information we need to know about the property and the area, even providing us with recommendations for their favorite restaurants. When we arrived they came over to introduce themselves and bring us a plate of delicious brownies. Since we were there early in the season, it was a little cold. But when the owners heard it was going to be unseasonably cold, they brought over extra space heaters for us! I would highly recommend this property! It is a great place for a large group who is looking to have a fun experience on the Cape! My friends and I hope to return to the property in the near future.

My family and friends had a great time! We were a large group but had enough space to enjoy the Cape Cod weather. The kids loved the pond and the adults loved the fire pits! The location is centrally located to many places we wanted to go which made driving around the Cape much easier. I really loved it and hope to have a chance to go back and rent again!!!

We loved our stay on John Joseph Pond. Even though the cottages are right off the road, all the trees and the pond made us feel like we were deep in the woods. We had our own private, sandy beach, with access to kayaks, a canoe and paddle boards. We all had a blast swimming out to the raft and looking for turtles, frogs and fish. There are 2 fire pits down on the beach that were well used for toasting marshmallows and making s'mores. The cottages were very clean and had everything we needed - lots of beds for the 3 families that were staying there. The kitchen is very well outfitted with everything you need to cook simple to extravagant meals. The slate patio between 2 of the cottages was our favorite place to eat and hang out when we weren't down at the beach. And, the cottages are just a short drive to some great ocean beaches, ice cream stands and the cape cod bike trail! The owner was very responsive to all our questions and concerns. His dad, who lives next door, came over with a welcome plate of brownies on our first day. All and all, a great time was had by all.
