About this cottage rental
You'll love the short walk from 'The Palace' to our white sandy beach on Long Pond, one of Southeastern Massachusetts' pristine glacial lakes. This rustic summer cottage is tucked into a pine woodland and sits on a hill just above the large beach. The beach which is semiprivate, has a dock a floating raft and tons of sand - perfect for building sandcastles. The gradual entrance into the water is great for young children.
The Palace offers accommodations for up to six people. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with a queen bed and two twins (bunk bed style). The galley kitchen has plenty of cooking utensils and dishes. The screened porch is set up for dining alfresco while enjoying a great view of Long Pond.
Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, a week at the Palace offers an old-fashioned style family vacation.
You can enjoy quiet morning strolls along woodland paths and refreshing daily swims while remaining surprisingly close to many popular Massachusetts destinations. Long Pond has clean, clear water with a sandy bottom and is great for small craft boating. There is a public boat ramp that accommodates small boats. Kayaks and sailboats are perfect. For over 60 years, the pond residents have raced antique sail boats on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in July and August. Fishermen love Long Pond which the state stocks with trout and salmon each Spring and Fall.
Explore miles of sandy country roads and trails that run through conservation land, cranberry bogs and along the shores of three nearby ponds.
The cottage is next to Pinewoods Camp, a folk dance and music camp. From mid June through Labor Day, you can hear the music wafting through the woods until 11 PM. On selected Sunday nights in July and August guests are invited to participate in the evening folk dance program.
Four generations of our family have vacationed on this property for over seventy years. We have worked hard to preserve its natural, rustic character and the unique old-fashioned nature of the structures.

Great time super cozy rustic stay
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
Nice, mostly secluded (there is another cabin within 50 -100ft but it was unoccupied while we were staying), cabin in the woods. The semi-private beach is steps from the back deck and is well maintained and clean, even well out into the water. The small dock is very nice as well. The access road is rough towards the end, we had the truck so we did fine, but I wouldn’t suggest bringing any low vehicles it would be a bit of a challenge.(As described in the listing) You can definitely hear the music from the neighboring camp throughout the day and into the evening but it’s not intrusive, although definitely energetic at times.The galley style kitchen is tight but clean and functional as is the shower. We would stay here again.

Quiet retreat, beautiful lake front property. Water and beach were fantastic. Host provided local recommendations that were very helpful. Very comfortable, relaxing and family friendly.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2018
The cottage is only a few yards from a little lakeside beach, and this is lovely. We swam most days of our 5 day stay. The beach is shared with 2 other smaller cabins but we only saw one other person on it on one occasion. Loved the beach and view of the lake. However, the cabin itself smelled damp when we arrived and some of the bedding even felt a little damp ( it had rained heavily that day). The damp smell lingered for the first few days. There are fly screens on all the windows but some are broken and some of the windows particularly in one bedroom are ill-fitting and have large gaps, letting insects in. There is a gap large enough under the back door that a chipmunk got in. The kitchen is a small area at the entrance of the cabin partitioned off from one of the bedrooms. The partition does not go up to ceiling height so if you are in bed and someone puts the light on in the kitchen it is as if the light is on in the bedroom. Similarly noise carries. Both bedrooms have a large framed aperture in the wall which has no glass in it, so again if you are in the bedroom you can hear the TV as if you are in the same room, and see the light. This might be OK if everyone goes to bed at the same time. The kitchen did not have oven gloves, or an oven proof dish, or a grater ( I wanted to make a simple pasta bake). The noise from the nearby music camp can be quite loud. It seems to be recorder recitals. It goes on until about 11pm, with a lot of clapping and cheering. I think this would be an OK cabin for a couple of nights and if you don't mind these issues, but not for everyone and not really for us.
