Great House; Great Stay
Intriguing passive solar house located conveniently off Rt 6 in Truro, we felt comfortable, relaxed, and easily accessible to Ptown and Orleans. The description is accurate, and the fees are within reason. We had privacy and a comfortable bed, which is not always true in a short term rental. Our older dog didn't care for the stairs, but we were able to get him from first floor level (hot tub!) to the 2nd floor main level using outside doors. The fireplace was great. We didn't want to leave!

Worked perfectly for our family
The house is amazing. The listing photos really don't do it justice. The hot tub and the outside shower were great. Such a relaxing feel. Totally reminded me of the house my great aunt and uncle built. It was great that we could bring our dog with us, especially since she it elderly. I was worried at first tht she would fll down the stairs or off the ledge since she is blind. But it worked out there is a small lower section that she enjoyed layin on her bed. My 7 and 11 boys loved it. Probably not the best house for a toddler with all the levels and open stairs. Had a great visit!

Great funky house. Lots of light and windows that pulls the outside in. Wonderful spaces in the house to curl up and read. Outdoor shower was great for apres beach. The house itself was a little dusty and could use a deep clean… but other than that it was great.

Love it!
We loved out experience at the High Kettle House. The house is ideally located in Truro - close to beaches and the town center, yet in a forest on a quiet street. The kitchen is fully equipped. The hot tub is a rare bonus too. We will certainly come again and again

Wonderful week
I spent a wonderful week in the house in early June. The space was perfect for us to relax, cook meals, and still get some work done. It is perfect distance between the bay and the Atlantic, and easy access to sites and restaurants.

Unique passive solar house
Enjoyed staying in this beautiful house with hot tub. Close to my favorite beach! There was lots of information about things to do and eat in the area but no details about the construction and solar functioning of the house. Thank you for sharing your special house with us!

Fantastic!
We loved our house! It's a big, bright space with a very well-equipped kitchen and great outside spaces among the trees. Also, it's a perfect location - in a very quiet neighborhood, close to bayside and oceanside beaches and a short drive to P-Town and Wellfleet. We're going back next year!

Great home and great location!
The house is great, with a really interesting warm cosy feel. Fully stocked kitchen with every utensil ever made by man! Comfy beds and couch! Only thing that could have been better was the dust under the floor that needed to be cleaned as my husband has allergies and they acted up a bit. A bit of an insect haven as well but hey its the cape, with humidity comes insects! We loved it!

Magical Truro Retreat
From the moment we arrived it was comfortable. Place has everything we needed and a great unique layout. Much bigger than expected. Charming and quiet. Middle of wellfleet and ptown, extremely private. Left feeling very relaxed. Thank you for sharing your place with us, we hope to return soon!

Another beautiful week at the cape!
Once again we had a wonderful stay at the High Kettle House. We just absolutely love it here- sitting on the deck reading, taking walks in the beautiful old nearby cemetery- and of course the delicious restaurants in Ptown and Black Fish right around the corner from the house. We highly recommend this magical place!

Comfortable and convenient
negatives are that it needed a more thorough cleaning and television was very small with very limited channels. Aside from that the house was great for adults. Very well stocked, very comfortable, host was very accommodating.Close to hiking trails beaches and other lower Cape destinations.

Great classic cape house with so much room
We stayed the long weekend and the house was great, very interesting architecture. The house has a lot of character and was in a nice quiet part of outer cape, just as we wanted. We usually stay in Wellfleet but Truro was great. Would definitely come back.

Great for a large group. Wonderful location. Kitchen is well stocked for all kinds of meal prep. Very open layout so house is a bit noisy. Didn’t really detract though from our stay. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend this rental. Owner was very helpful. Thank you !!!

Perfect House
Just returned from our visit to this wonderful home. It was absolutely perfect for our family, plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked. We felt like we were tucked into the woods in a fairy tale cottage. Any questions we had were answered quickly by the hosts. We’re already planning a longer stay next summer!

Great family visit
Chas has a unique home in an idyllic setting, beautifully integrated into the woods. We had a great family vacation there, and the kitchen was pretty well equipped for cooking. If you sleep with the windows open it almost feels like camping.
