Other Details to Note

Barn is not available for guest use. Exterior french door in one of the first floor bedrooms does not open. The fireplaces are not functional. For decorative purposes only. The home borders wetlands so the occasional snake can make its way into the yard from time to time. Due to the fact that the property is heavily wooded and borders wetlands, there are bugs that may make their way into the home. If you are new to Airbnb or would like to bring a dog, we will consider requests only on a case by case basis. You may be asked to sign our rental/pet agreement and pay a $150 pet fee. The agreement states the dates of stay, the names of each guest, the house rules and information about your pet. You will have 24 hours to review the agreement and if you are not comfortable signing it, you can cancel for a full refund. Dogs may be permitted on a case by case basis ONLY. Please inquire if you wish to bring a dog. If approved, there is a $150 pet fee per stay. Only dogs. No cats!

Excellent spot as a base camp for exploring the Cape! It was a great accommodation for our family of 6 and we appreciated the air conditioning since we still had some warm weather (for October)! Amy was a quick responder, even when I wasn’t, so we never had to wonder about anything. Thank you for the great stay!

A must stay! My friends and I absolutely loved staying here for our weekend girls’ trip. The house was immaculate. It’s obvious how much time and thought was put into every detail. It’s also important to note how clean it was, which is always much appreciated. Its convenience to many stores/restaurants was perfect for our short weekend trip. The host, Amy, was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking in the area!!!

Our family needed to book a last minute trip, and Amy’s house provided us with the perfect home away from home. The house was clean, cozy, and comfortable. We appreciated the location, fenced in yard (especially while traveling with a 2 & 4 year old), sectional that was actually super comfortable to lounge, king sized beds, and air conditioner given the time of year. This home had everything you could need and more, and Amy was a kind, thoughtful and responsive host. Highly recommend :)

We just returned home after an amazing week staying at Amy's house in Harwich, and are already talking about when we can go back to visit next summer. This was our first trip to Cape Cod, and are thrilled that we chose Amy's house. The house was perfect - recently renovated with much of its original 1700s charm still on display, incredibly clean, and comfortable. Everything in the house was well thought out - had anything you could possibly need from beach essentials, fresh linens, towels, and all kitchen neccesities, and a wonderful laundry room. Amy welcomed our dog, who took full advantage of the both the front and back fenced in yards. The location was excellent - a short walk into town as well as short drives (under 10 minutes) to a variety of local beaches. Amy provided us with an extensive list of beach, restaurant, and activity recommendations, and responded almost immediately to any questions we had. Definitely stay here if you have the opportunity, you won't regret it!

We had such a wonderful stay here! The house had the perfect balance of charm and coastal vibes while also being spotless and thoughtfully maintained. Amy truly went above and beyond with the amenities and all the little touches that made it feel special and welcoming. Prior to our trip, we asked if beach chairs were available, and she surprised us by adding them as an amenity. That thoughtful gesture perfectly reflects her passion for hosting and ensuring every stay is perfect—it’s unmatched! We also really appreciated the proactive communication and thoughtful recommendations, which made planning our days so much easier. We loved our time at the beach, exploring Chatham, and even took a day trip to Nantucket. Our two Frenchies were just as happy as we were, which made it feel like home away from home. Truly one of the most comfortable and memorable Airbnbs we’ve stayed in—we can’t wait to return!

We had a wonderful stay! The house had the charm of a cozy cottage but still felt modern, spacious, and spotless. It was perfect for our family of four plus our dog, with plenty of room for everyone. The location was great—tucked away in a quiet area but just a short drive to Chatham and the beaches. The host was very responsive and made everything easy. We’d love to stay here again!
