Summary: Our family is big on camping and the great outdoors. This location is a good match for us. Let’s call it rustic. The host is gracious and a good communicator. The “cabins” are rustic and charming, maybe they have some of the original parts from the 1950’s? We enjoyed the private beach and the kayaks, canoes and beach toys. Campfires were terrific fun. Games galore available on site. Kitchen well equipped. Barbeque was handy. Our group had a marvelous time. This is not a fancy resort, if you are super fussy about cobwebs, mildew or leaky screens, this is not the place for you. It is a bit like camping. We plan to return; it is a very unique and special spot. We had a wonderful time!!!

Summary: Imagine staying at an old style Cape Cod compound where you have the privacy of your very own beach on a large tranquil pond in the middle of Cape Cod. It is minutes to the bike trail, walking trails, great restaurants, shopping, the Bay, the Sound and the Outer Cape. J.J. includes three rustic cabins- one common cabin which includes a great room, large kitchen and bath. In addition there is a bunk house which accommodates two couples with children, and another cabin suitable for one couple with children. Owners are warm, very responsive, engaging and flexible. It was a sweet, relaxing retreat that helped to create wonderful family memories to last a life time. Thank you!

Summary: Some 23 of us, arriving at staggered times, had a wonderful experience. We visited places all over the Cape, sat and played on our private beach, and thoroughly enjoyed the variety of water craft. There was truly something for everyone. There were two cousins, ages 8 mo and 5 mo that entertained us as well as two cousin dogs who romped and played endlessly. It was FABULOUS!

Summary: I first reached out to Anne on VRBO regarding her property she shares with her family. From the first message until the last message after our trip, she was nothing but completely responsive and helpful. She shared a list of everything they have to offer at the property including trash, amenities, things close to the cottages, etc. The pictures on the website are absolutely accurate and the entire place is more than worth the price. We didn’t run into a single issue while we were there. There’s plenty of space for 15 people and you can make room for more if needed. The pond is right down the woods trail and was perfect. The cottages were in immaculate condition, the grill worked amazingly, there was plenty of seating, and plenty of room for having fun outside. Our group, for example, played corn hole, grilled, had a fire, sat on truck tailgates, and we still had room for more. I would highly recommend anyone contact Anne if they want a beautiful, serene location for some family or friend time and you have a large group. Our group even discussed making it a yearly tradition to use this place! Anne, once again thank you so much! It was truly a wonderful experience.

Summary: The property was perfect for our group, and it was exactly what was promised.

Summary: This trio of cabins, nestled in the trees on the pristine John Joseph pond, is situated close to each other but still provides private quarters for individual families traveling with friends. The kitchen is in its own building, along with a great handout room, so people who want to stay up later (our children) can, without disturbing sleepers. A huge and fabulous fire pit roughly centered among the buildings is surrounded by comfortable Adirondack chairs and provides a cozy gathering place after a long day of hanging out on the private beach, accessed through two well-situated paths in the woods. The beach, oh my, it is really special, with kayaks and at least one canoe, a paddle board, beach toys, etc., as well as two more fire pits which our industrious friend used for a day-into-night cookout to great effect. The beds are comfortable, there is plenty of room to sprawl out, and our hostess, Anne, was super responsive and welcoming. If you are looking for luxury, this is not your place, but if you can deal with a bit of rough and tumble, this place is magic.

Summary: Property was a very nice place to spend a family vacation. The setting on the lake was beautiful and the kids really, really enjoyed playing in the water. The private beach was great. Loved making s’mores every night. The kitchen was well supplied and we didn’t miss anything. Beds were comfortable and we slept well. Enjoyed our stay.

Summary: Nice relaxing stay. Pond was great and rustic cabin was nice.
Stephen G. Sep 3, 2020 02:36:14 AM
Summary: Our family had a wonderful week in the woods and on the lake at this property. Staying in the various rustic but clean cabins surrounded by trees but close to everything was such a source of calm and relaxation during these trying times. Anne is a wonderful host and was very responsive. We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, float, dock, sunfish, and fished on the lake. We built a campfire every night and enjoyed reconnecting and relaxing as a family. The kitchen was well stocked. Thank you!
