We had a great time on Swan Pond. The house was beautifully decorated, very close to the waterfront, and had a nice piece of property to enjoy nights by the fire. Communication with the owners was quick and easy and responsive to all questions.

John and Laura have thought of everything you could need and then some for a wonderful Cape Cod vacation! The cottage is incredibly well stocked, and if you happen to forget something, they probably already have it. And if not, there are plenty of stores just a mile away.We truly enjoyed our annual trip to the Cape and loved staying at this cottage. It was comfortable, welcoming, and made for a relaxing getaway. We would absolutely stay here again!

What a great place to stay! Everything was as portrayed in the photos—right down to the blue crab napkin holder. : ) Loved all the outdoor seating options, and the kayaks for paddling around the pond were so fun. And there really were swans—a whole family! We also enjoyed the mid-Cape location; less than five minutes to a good beach, and only about 30 minutes to a "big" beach (Nauset). Would definitely stay here again, and have already recommended it to family and friends. The *only* suggestion I have is to maybe install a clothesline somewhere outside (or in the basement?) to hang wet bathing suits, etc., on.

Family Getaway

This cozy home was an amazing place to spend a week with my family. The yard was perfect for us plus our extended family to play and visit. The plethora of watercraft and lifevests made our time on the pond so relaxing. Great location, well appointed home. Highly recommend!!

This house was a real gem. The yard was beautiful, and we were fortunate to have the swans visiting us almost every day. It’s a great location and I would definitely rent this place again.

Cape Cod family weekend

The house was perfect for the 7 of us. We loved using the kayaks and fire pit. We had everything we needed to enjoy beautiful weather outside. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked and offered the essentials for cooking. I always appreciate having spices and basic oils so that we don't have to purchase such things. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely cottage like feel

My husband and I stayed here for our one year wedding anniversary. It was quiet, serene, and private. We loved the backyard, the location was great to get to stores and restaurants and the inside of the home was comfy, updated and super clean. We will be coming back. Also, such a bonus that check in is at 2pm, it really allows you to enjoy your first day there. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful location

This was a great little cottage, with such a gorgeous view of the lake in the back. It was nice and clean and well-decorated, and the kitchen and game closet were fully stocked. The outdoor spaces with the hammock were really enjoyable. My favorite part was kayaking out to the tidal river, where we saw so many different birds and sea life. The only suggestion I can make is that master bedroom mattress was starting to sag and might need an update/flip, but other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! A wonderful location, just a short drive to the beach and various restaurants but in a nice quiet neighborhood. I definitely recommend this lovely spot on the cape.

A beautiful property

We loved our stay on Indian Trail. The house looks small from the outside but it is very spacious with 4 bedrooms. It is very clean, quiet and extremely comfortable with every amenity you could want. The view over Swan Pond is gorgeous and we spent many happy hours sitting on the deck watching the wildlife. It is in a great location for visiting all areas of the Cape which we did. There are lots of really good local eateries nearby. If you enjoy canoeing and boating this is a perfect spot. We would highly highly recommend this property and . communication with John was great.

Turner clan

WE loved everything about the house. I can't think of anything that would be lacking in amenities. My husband had just had a major surgery so he recuperated in place while we visited the cape. He had a wonderful spot to watch osprey, egrets, swans geese etc. The house was very clean and although I seemed to have a VRBO glitch John rectified matters in top time. Thank you!

Dennis Vacation

This cottage on Swan Pond was lovely. From the outside the home appears as if it is small. However, once inside, there is so much space! There were plenty of rooms and bedrooms for our family. The loft was a big hit with our teenage girls. The back patio and deck area were wonderful to relax and enjoy the views of the pond. Our family paddle boarded and kayaked on the pond and also enjoyed the hammock. The pond isn’t really for swimming due to how shallow it is but being on the water was great! Thank you for such a wonderful vacation.

Lovely home in beautiful location

This house radiates the love that has been put into it by the owners - it is comfortable, tastefully appointed, and very homey. We have found that not all properties are as listed online, but this was even nicer than the pictures. The pond is a nature lover's dream. As kayakers, it was wonderful to not have to cart ours, because there are 4 on the property already. The daily presence of egrets, herons, kingfishers, swans and the call of an osprey lifted our spirits. It is a slice of the Outer Cape on the Mid-Cape! Our grandsons LOVED catching (and releasing) crabs and tiny pond dwellers. We loved returning to the super comfortable patio, hammock and outdoor firepit after exploring and beach visits. We plan on returning as soon as possible!

Lovely cottage with a beautiful view

We had a great experience! What a wonderful family vacation! My Dad, siblings, and nieces and nephew got together for our first family vacation in years. We had plenty of room and comfortable places to sleep. There was plenty of space to have dinner as a family--inside and out. The cottage is on the beautiful Swan Pond and we were so happy the swans paid us a visit in the yard. (We also cormorants and herons and even little bunnies in the yard.) We kayaked and went fishing from the property which was amazing. The whole backyard/patio setting was beautiful. Be sure to check out the sunrise. Such a great space. Not only was the outside beautiful, but inside the cottage was so pretty and had many modern conveniences like wifi and a two televisions (which came in handy on the few rainy days). The cottage is on a quiet street. It's conveniently located near several good restaurants, shopping, mini golf, ice-cream, and several beaches. I highly recommend this property. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Stunning lake views/access/seating in a quiet neighborhood. Great access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail and Sea St beach. We had all the amenities we needed for 6 adults and a baby to enjoy. The washer and dryer were a great plus. Overall a great stay on the mid Cape!

The property was as described in the listing. It was a nice touch to have all necessary supplies provided, such as toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, sponges, etc. The kayaks were great to have, so we didn't have to spend extra money on rentals. The only thing I can think of to add is maybe another a/c in the loft area. It was particularly warm up there. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you for opening your home to us.
