Beautiful spot!

This property was perfect for our family vacation. It’s so close to everything but feels secluded surrounded by woods. The lake was beautiful and the shallow water perfect for the kids and dogs to play in all day. At night we sat on the screened porch and watched the fireflies. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.

Perfect Lake Retreat

We had a great stay here. Marta and Betsy were very welcoming hosts and were very responsive throughout the week. The house is a perfect lake retreat and has a lot of toys for the family to enjoy like kayaks, canoe, a ping pong table, foosball, etc. It’s also nice to be able to walk to the center of town and beaches. We would definitely come back again!

Best of both worlds--lake and beach vacation!

Our family of five had a great time at this house for our vacation. My husband prefers a lake vacation but my kids like to get to the beach every summer. This house was perfectly located to give us walking access to both the lake and the beach. Plus it was an easy walk to an ice cream shop, donut shop, grocery store and several restaurants. We also loved that the owners provided kayaks, a canoe and a sailboat for our use. The house was very clean and comfortable and the owner went out of her way to accommodate our needs. Highly recommended!

Nice Location with Lots to do

Marta the owner was very accommodating in every way. The home was well stocked with boats, games, and pre stocked foods. Location was very close to nice restaurants and Cape Cod Playhouse. A 20 minute walk to the salt water beach, with a 2 minute walk to the Scargo Lake, fresh water beach right on the property. Loads of places to get home made ice cream. Caught 2 bass from the canoe. I would definitely recommend this for a family, as we had a 2 year old and 9 month old with us.

Amazing Lake House So Close To The Beach

We could not have asked for a more perfect place to enjoy school vacation. This property is located right on Main Street with all the associated convenience, but yet it feels like you are isolated on a small relatively private lake. The house is perfect and had everything we needed. The large screened in porch is wonderful and everyone in our family enjoyed it including our Golden Retriever who liked to just lay on the porch and look out at the yard and the lake. The lake is amazing and we all really enjoyed using the kayaks, canoe, and peddle boat. We also really enjoyed fishing in the lake. The house is very close to many excellent restaurants and multiple beaches. Additionally, Marta and Mark were absolutely outstanding hosts. We would highly recommend the place to friends and family and really hope that we have the chance to stay again in the future.

Cabin in the Woods, yet Walking Distance to Town

This Dennis property is truly a cabin in the woods -- remote, quiet, and relaxing. Even though we were walking distance to the town of Dennis, we felt really secluded when at the property. The setting was lovely. We kayaked on the lake enjoying the crisp fall air and beautiful fall foliage. Sitting on the private beach for sunrise or star gazing was a special treat. Marta was a diligent an attentive owner. She contacted us in advance with tips for enjoying the property and again during our stay. She and her husband even met us at check-in which was so friendly. The home is a lovely cabin with updated amenities and nostalgic features like a broad screened porch. It's clear that the family has enjoyed many seasons at this peaceful property.

Excellent stay

Marta’s house in Dennis is really fantastic. I actually think that the listing doesn’t do justice to either the inside or outside. It was nicer than I expected. The house is roomy, comfortable and really well-equipped, again inside and out. The location is perfect. It is a 10-15-minute walk to good restaurants, a bakery, etc. and yet when you are at the house you are in the woods with not a sound to disturb you. The lake is gorgeous and I can’t describe how nice it is to see that lake from the comfortable screened porch or the lounge chairs on the lawn. We spent a lot of time relaxing with our books, inside and out. There are 3 roomy bedrooms (good beds) as well as a spare bed in the upstairs sitting area. The bathrooms are good. The kitchen is excellent, with every pot, pan, utensil, etc., that you need. We went to Petersen’s fish market a short drive away to pick up fresh fish each day and enjoyed preparing dinner at home. And the living room is very comfy for hanging out. My only caution would be that the Internet service is not strong, in case you were planning to do work while away, Zoom calls, et. Marta kindly checked in regularly to be sure that we were doing well. It was a delight to stay there.

Fantastic again

We rent a lot of houses and this is the only one that we have stayed at more than once, in fact this was our third time. Marta is a great host and the house is great. It is private, has a great view of the lake, central air conditioning and the lake itself is amazing. Nice private beach area and when you go into the lake it is not mucky like many lakes. Many water toys provided as well. Hopefully we will be able to keep on renting this house. Highly recommend.

Scargo Bungalow

We had an extended family vacation with both young kids and adults. The week was just wonderful. The accommodations were excellent with many amenities and fun activities for all ages. There were boats and floats (including life vests) for the lake and lawn games for the yard. There were lots of games in the closet and VCR movies for night time or rainy days (fortunately not many of those for us!). The beaches were close by (make sure to go early - the parking lot fills up fast!) and beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

If you want a wonderful, peaceful vacation, this is the spot.

My family and I have stayed at Scargo Lake twice now and would love to again, however the week we can make it is already booked. This vacation home is just perfect with every comfort provided by the owner. Comfort in every piece of furniture, comfort one the delightful porch, restfulness on the sweet hammock and the comfortable beds. Scargo Lake is just breathtaking and relaxing if you want to swim, watch nature or just chill. The owner is eager to please and her pride in her family's home for many years shows through in every detail in the home. I have bragged to many of many friends about having this perfect vacation spot. Can you tell? I just loved it!

Immaculate home overlooking Scargo Lake

Scargo Bungalow is an immaculate, well equipped home in a very secluded setting overlooking Scargo lake. The swimming area is sandy with a very gradual drop off which makes it perfect for young children. Three kayaks provided many enjoyable hours gliding along the lake. The large screened porch was the perfect gathering spot each evening. Very convenient location to Mayflower Beach and Dennis Village. .

A truly magical place

Our family has stayed at Scargo Bungalow twice so far, and we have relished every moment. The house, the lake, the atmosphere, and the lovely owner are truly unique, and all make for an incredible stay. We love everything about this place. The house is spacious and lovely, the kitchen is large and well equipped, and the views of the lake are to die for. There’s a large screened porch, which is a blissful place for coffee in the morning, ping pong by day, or enjoying the breezes and sounds of nature in the evening. The surroundings are nothing short of magical, with rustic paths and acres of beautiful woods. Our favorite path, of course, is the one to the lake—rustic stone steps lead straight down to a small private beach directly on sparkling Scargo Lake. We have spent countless hours at the lake, swimming and using the available kayaks. The property offers complete solitude and natural beauty; at the same time, it’s literally minutes from everything. Marta, the owner, is delightful. Her love of the property is evident, as is her concern for guests’ comfort. She is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We had everything we needed for a perfect stay. It’s hard to say enough about Scargo Bungalow and how much it has to offer. We’ll definitely be back to this beautiful place!

Wonderful Retreat

This is the ideal vacation spot for either a large family or for even two families. It is an idyliic setting - private yet convenient. Close to Dennis bay beaches, but when you don't want to deal with traffic or loading everyone into the car you have your own beautiful lake, sandy beach and water sport activities. Kayaks are provided for your pleasure just steps from your door. The home is immaculate and everything you might need has been thought of. You'll wish you had discovered this Scargo Lake secret years ago.

Scargo Lake Cape House - An Outstanding Property!

The view from the lovely porch is spectacular. You are on a very wooded lot with beautiful mature trees. A short walk to a small private beach where you will find kayaks and a canoe. Although very secluded and private you are close to all restaurants and Cape beaches, some within minutes. The house and property are well maintained and well equipped. The owner is always available and quickly responds if there are any problems. We would highly recommend this home to our friends and family. We are repeat renters and always look forward to returning to this lovely home.
