About this property

Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and breakfast overlooking the lake.

This charming cabin sits on the Long Pond shore front. It is one of a cluster of four cabins (the original tiny houses!), each rented separately. We have worked hard to preserve the unique, 1930's fish camp character. If you are looking to commune with nature, seek a simple respite from modern life or just want to enjoy Long Pond, this space is for you.

This cabin (we call it Dick's after our grandfather) has a shorefront room with queen bedroom on one side and kitchenette on the other. The living room has a sitting area with couch, chairs and a dining area. There is a fireplace with a gas insert. The bathroom (with lake view) has an old fashioned claw foot tub that is fitted with a hand shower. You can sit in the bath and look out onto the pond! There is a screened porch with cafe table and chairs and amazing water views. The kitchenette has sink, microwave, small fridge, toaster oven, induction cook top and plenty of dishes and cookware. Guests have access to a grill and picnic table outside.

Dick's Cabin is near it's neighbors, but carefully arranged to give a sense of privacy. The waterfront with small dock sits just next to this cabin. Although the waterfront is shared between the four cabins, it is rarely used by anyone except the residents of this cabin. If you have a larger group, it is possible to rent cabins together for an old-fashioned fish camp experience.

We're at the end of a private, sandy road and located next to Pinewoods Camp. When the camp is in session from mid June through Labor Day you can hear their music until 11:00 PM each night. In early June and September, the pond is wonderfully quiet. You can enjoy the area's wildlife, swim in the clear waters, hike miles of nature trails or use it as a jump-off point to explore the Cape and Boston.

My husband loved the stay!
I gifted my husband a solo retreat in the woods by the lake for his birthday! He has been talking about needing to get away in the woods by himself to recharge after teaching a rigorous academic year. He came home happy and grateful! Thank you for hosting my husband and allowing him some peace and solace!

Great view but that's it
The floors are slanted which triggered my vertigo. The linens on the bed smelled like they hadn't been washed in months. The bed was yellow stained. We found several carpenter ants and one night we had a critter scratching under the bed, assumed it was a mouse. The couch cushions were filthy and difficult to sleep on, since I couldn't sleep in the bedroom due to my vertigo in the room. The cabin is a potential health hazard due to the possible black mold on the walls. We cut our trip short by 2 days due to the awful conditions and went to Boston, only to find the Marriot was cheaper to stay than the nasty cabin. Wish we would have left sooner but we couldn't get our money back, so we toughed it out for 3 nights. Don't recommend staying here.

Lovely rustic cabin
We loved waking up to a view of Long Pond. Nice little cabin that worked well as a home base while we explored Cape Cod. We would gladly come back!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Conant

Host profile image
We are a family of five siblings, one mom and six grandchildren. Many of us live in the Boston area and spend our summer weekends on the property.

Why they chose this property

The property was given to our grandparents by their good friend, Helen Storrow, in the 1940's and has been passed through three generations. This property is a part of our bones. It is both a struggle and a labor of love to maintain the historic, rustic character of our structures. We all grew up here and know every root, tree, bug and plant. There are home movies of three generations of babies playing on our beach. We all know the stories -- like how our dad knocked a pillar down while learning to drive.

What makes this property unique

There are rare places in our modern world where time stands still. This is one. We have let a few tinges of modernity filter through -- we do provide basic internet, electricity and hot water. It is a place to turn off the digital world and experience the simple life -- nature, swimming in a clean natural lake, hiking beautiful trails, sitting on the porch, taking in the view, quiet nights, stars, rain pattering on the roof .......
