Pondfront cottage on Stillwater Pond

It was great! Easy to get to and around Chatham. Quiet and private.Mike checked in on us, and was available for any questions.

Spent a family trip for a week up at the Cape. This was a great house, with fantastic views. Mike the host was super accommodating. Everything was as advertised. We would definitely recommend it and rent it again if/when we go back up.

The views from the house are amazing! The large yard is very private and there are lots of outdoor activities for families. Mike was a responsive host and we enjoyed our time in Chatham.

Just returned from a 5 nights/4 days mini-reunion with "old" friends at this cottage on Stillwater Pond. Every one of us LOVED it and didn't want to leave. It is exactly as pictured and described and I agree with the other reviewers. We are long time Cape Cod visitors and truthfully, this is one of the best finds, especially for our needs - peace, privacy. While in the past we have ventured out often to tour and shop, this time we didn't want to go anywhere. Just to sit and watch the lake, morning, noon and night, was perfect, except runs to get lobster rolls and lobsters. The lake/pond was very healthy - clean, clear and perfect temperature for swimming every day and for paddleboarding. None of us had paddleboarded before and we all got up and enjoyed it. The place is well equipped with outdoor equipment - row boat, paddleboard, fishing gear, lots of chairs for the dock, noodles, etc. Plus a great hammock, nice chairs and tables right outside door where we sat and drank our morning coffee each day. I was planning on renting a bike for the time but you have to ride on Rte 28 to get anywhere so I happily gave that idea up. I did take a wonderful walk to Crows Pond and Pleasant Bay at 6 am watching the sun rise. At that time of the morning Rte 28 was okay to walk along. Being right across from Ryder's Cove and Pleasant Bay was an added benefit. Peter, grandson of original owners and caretaker is very pleasant, helpful, and yet ensures your privacy. He stays in apt above the garage. Available if you need him. There is a wonderful outdoor shower, in fact, I think the indoor shower was only used once in 5 days.If you are looking for modern, wired (altho there is a new TV we did not turn on), and luxury, this is not for you. If you are looking for clean, well-preserved, well-equipped, peace and quiet then this cottage is a good bet.
