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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Wonderful stay
We loved staying here. Location in MidCape allowed us to visit the entire area. We loved the view of the pond and it actually was much bigger than we thought. We rode the bike trails, visited Provincetown, took the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. Went to an amazing beach. We rode our bikes in the neighborhood and took out the canoe. I would not hesitate to book this property again

The house was just as described, clean and tastefully decorated in a beach theme and well maintained. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and organized. The air conditioners cooled the entire house nicely. We enjoyed the five seating areas in the yard. The pond was perfect for kayaking. The outside shower was handy. Our favorite beach, Mayflower, was just an easy scenic drive away. The owners were very helpful, and responded quickly to our emails. This is an exceptional rental ! We had a wonderful week !
