This property is incredibly beautiful and was a great location for our family vacation and wedding. Catherine was very accommodating and answered all of the questions we threw her way. Great location- secluded enough that the property was very peaceful but close enough to downtown Chatham for shops and restaurants. Can’t recommend enough!

Beautiful scenery for a backyard wedding. Large enough to fit wedding for 35, small enough to feel cozy. Catherine very responsive on questions.

A perfect spot for our family to gather together, cook, eat, sit by the sea, play board games, piano, and enjoy the interesting books. Nooks and crannies for everyone's style. We had a fabulous time and will totally come back if we can!

We fell in love with this property for our wedding, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The charm can’t be beat, and the home was comfortable for everyone. The host was easy to contact and great to work with, both while wedding planning and during our stay. We will cherish our time here forever!

Spacious, private, well appointed. Property has a “summer home “ ambience.

This amazing old Cape house felt like a home. It was so comfortable and our family was overwhelmed by the beauty of the property and beach. I would love to stay here again someday.

Enjoyed the property and views…

Catherine’s home was beyond amazing. After looking at various Cape wedding venues, I landed upon Catherine’s home for my wedding in June. My family and friends stayed at the house and we had the ceremony on the front lawn and had it catered with a tent. I do not recommend going out to eat because this is the best view on the Cape and there are two kitchens for cooking. I’ve been coming to the Cape and summering here for 28+ years and this was by far the most beautiful location. Catherine’s home was quintessential Cape Cod. Close proximity to Chatham, CBI and Chatham Fish. We rented paddle boards and kayaks and spenth the days by the beach. Highly recommend Catherine’s home for a family getaway!!

We had originally booked this property for October of 2020 for our wedding however with everything that happened in the world we had to move it. Catherine was extremely accommodating with not only moving the date but letting us hold the party there. The property was amazing and we had a beautiful day.

The house and property are quintessential Cape Cod. The place is so beautiful and nothing feels out of place or time. I will never forget waking up to the sunrise and being able to see it from bed. My husband Mike and I hosted our friends and family to celebrate being together for 11 years. It was the absolute perfect space to host an event. We put a tent within the garden walls where we shared two meals with our loved ones with the most amazing view of the water. It was so nice to have a big lawn to play games and lounge around in the sun. Catherine was an excellent host as I had many questions leading up to the weekend. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen making food as a family and it just had the best energy. At one point we had 8 chairs pulled up to the small table. Lots of laughter. The outdoor shower was divine - excellent water pressure. I never showered indoors the whole weekend! We are already making plans to rent again!

I rented this house for my family and friends. It was SPECTACULAR! We had between 16 and 19 guests throughout the week. We cooked almost every night because getting a reservation is next to impossible with COVID and that many people. We also got takeout that delivered. Catherine gives you a welcome note with tons of information. The kitchen had everything we needed. The dining room table sat all of us. The beds were comfy and the house was clean. You have to love old houses and you have to respect this old house. It reminded me of my grandparents house up in New Hampshire. Some of the bathrooms were updated, some were not but that’s the beauty of the house. Actually, there are too many beautiful things about this house. The important part is we had no plumbing issues. The beach is to die for!!!! BEST PART!!! We rented paddle boards and when they delivered them they gave us instructions on how to use them. I know the landscape changes due to the tide but the sand was so soft and the water was warm. We were there the end of July. There is a little island that protects you. We paddle boarded almost every day. My husband and I paddle boarded down to the Chatham Bars Inn but never made it in to get a drink. It was a little too early for us. You can also walk there during low tide. I can’t say enough about this house. It was just wonderful! The only drawbacks were the furniture and the TVs could be updated but you’re never going to get a place for that many people ON YOUR OWN PRIVATE BEACH for that kind of money. I loved it!!!! I would rent it again in a heartbeat!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

The property is great for family reunion or pretty site for a wedding. We had 24 ASR’s ranging from 6-83 and it worked for all. Great to be able to walk down to the water & go into Chatham easily. Chatham Bars Inn also very close & great place to go for a drink. Owner was good to work with, very responsive.

Great time with 20 family members!

We held our wedding weekend here and had friends and family stay with us. This house is quintessentially old cape cod - perfectly preserved. We particularly enjoyed the private beach, epic views and beauty of the interior. If you enjoy historic properties this one takes the cake, it was truly memorable. In the words of one of our guests - this is the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to. If you are looking for new construction and afraid of normal old house things like the occasional spider or moth, or want a brand new experience this is not the house for you. Incredible epic weekend. We hope to return to this gem, thank you Catherine!

Catherine was lovely to work with and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at her house. She went out of her way to help us and give us all of the information that we needed. The house has so much character and we felt swept away with its charm. I would definitely recommend!

We had our wedding at Catherine’s home in late September. It was gorgeous! Everything worked out as well as we had hoped. We planned the wedding from Austin, Texas and Catherine made it as easy as possible for us. She was very communicative, understanding, and helpful, putting us in touch with vendors that have worked at the property before and helping us imagine the layout for the ceremony and reception based on what others had done. The vendors knew exactly what to do on the property, and all were professional, timely, and respectful. Since most of our family was coming from out of state, we were able to house quite a few of them at the property in order to cut down on their travel costs, which we were quite excited about! The main house is big, with large gathering rooms for getting everyone together for meals, chatting, games, etc, and plenty of bedrooms to retreat to for quiet time. It has all the charm of an old Cape Cod house, while being totally unique and a blast to walk around and explore. You will absolutely love watching the sunrise over the ocean in the morning from your bedroom windows, and breakfast down in the kitchen was super cozy. The yard and beach are nothing short of exceptional: extremely beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. Laying out on the soft beach sand, and relaxing in the yard chairs up on the lawn are a must. Everyone that stayed at the house loved it, as did the guests at the wedding!

I don't have the words to describe how incredible our wedding weekend was, thanks to Catherine and her family's incredible home. We were able to have the backyard wedding of our dreams, and to house family members at the same time. We are beyond grateful.

The grounds were beautiful and beach lovely. The house itself and the furniture was run down. The screen doors and wood steps were tattered and broken. The refrigerator was not adequate for that size house and had a broken freezer door. Locks and doorknobs fell off when trying to use them. The kitchen windows had mold. The drawers in kitchen were dirty where silverware and utensils were kept. This house could be exceptional if it was given some attention.

Great time was had by all! Close to town, private beach access and a great yard with views and plenty of space for yard games!!

Great views. If you like to walk town is walkable. My son and daughter-in-law walked to Chatham bars inn along the beach. Will definitely return.

Four generations stayed in this lovely, quirky home. We loved exploring the house with all its nooks and crannies. Lovely views and wonderful beach. Catherine was helpful and very responsive to our questions and requests.

We had such a wonderful stay in this beautiful historic home! We loved the grounds, the garden, the beach, alllllll of it! Would love to stay again sometime!

We truly enjoyed the property and location. The area is beautiful and the home is so much fun to explore. Our family had an amazing time and are still talking about it weeks later!

The house was absolutely perfect for our large group. We decided to take a group vacation on kind of short notice, and because we had such a big group, finding a house wasn’t easy. Catherine was extremely open and accommodating and we really could not appreciate it more. About the house: First, the photos don’t really do justice. It is such a neat older house with character and history but is still really comfortable with lots of space to spread out or come together as a group. Some evenings we gathered around the piano for musical entertainment; other nights we sat around the fireplace talking. The large outdoor space was perfect for the children, and honestly, the adults too. We had plenty of room for a lobster picnic and oyster shucking out on the gorgeous lawn overlooking the ocean. I understand that the coastline here changes, but we were very lucky to have plenty of beach during our stay. The area feels very protected for close-in swimming, and at night, the beach was magical for stargazing. The neighborhood and neighbors were very nice, and Catherine was extremely communicative and easy to reach. Before we arrived she sent us not only a guide to the house, but a thorough guide to Chatham as well, which was extremely helpful. I’m thinking really hard about whether there is anything that could have been better, but I’m really at a loss. I suppose if you need lots of TVS in your vacation house, you might be disappointed, but we were there to spend time together as a group and to enjoy the beach, so we were perfectly content. The kitchen is not super modern, but it was large and met our needs (also, I understand a new stove was on the way, so even better). Also, many of the rooms connect to each other in a maze-like way, but if you appreciate the character of older houses, you’ll love it. Honestly, I could not recommend this house more. My husband and I wistfully joked that we wish we’d found it before we got married. And our vacation group is already talking about doing a reunion here at some point...
