This adorable, central air-conditioned, authentic Cape Cod cottage is situated in a lovely residential neighborhood that is listed on the National Registry of Historic Districts. An 1820 Cape cottage with wide planked pine flooring and hand-hewn timbers, but with modern conveniences.
Perfectly placed for exploring Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Boston and Southeast New England -- all in easy reach.
The luxury of central air conditioning has recently been installed together with central heating. It has also been recently re-decorated.
Bass River is the largest, all salt tidal river on the East Coast. There are several free public River beaches along Bass River a short stroll from the cottage or approx. 1 mile (1.6 km) to Nantucket Sound's ocean beaches.
The lovely views along the river are perfect for a leisurely daily walk. There is a small neighborhood bakery (less than a mile) nestled nearby for fresh breakfast yummies, coffee, the paper and other bakery items.
The river is wonderful for kayaking and kayak rentals are very close by. There are several places to put in should you have your own.

Summary of reviewsGuests enjoyed the historic charm, cozy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen of Barb's guest house. The patio and neighborhood were lovely, and the owner, Barbara, was gracious and helpful.

Barb’s guest house is over 200 years old and reminded me of my grandparents cottage in Maine. The steep stairs to the two upstairs bedrooms and the old fashioned kitchen all brought back fond memories from my childhood.
We enjoyed breakfast every day in the private outdoor patio and daily walks around her lovely neighborhood. Barb’s street parallels the Bass River. The are many roads off of Barb’s street that lead to public areas to get a peek of the Bass River.

We were a party of 3 adults (mom and college age kids) and we had a wonderful time. We had one extra person for 3 nights. The cottage was just as described, with nooks and crannies and lots of personality. Very comfortable. Kitchen big enough for 4 to cook and eat, and living room accommodated our game night perfectly. There was a lovely patio area to eat outside. Barbara was a gracious host and provided local information and beach chairs (so we didn't have to pack our own). Lovely walk near the river with a cute windmill beach nearby.
Easy drive to mini-golf, go-carts, bounce park, and within driving distance to the drive-in movies at Wellfleet. We also toured Chatham, and got some thrifting in too.
Would definitely stay again.
