8 Bedroom House in Wareham

The Bourne Cottage provides a perfect vacation spot for families and friends who want to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life. It has three distinct wings with 8 bedrooms.
Built in 1783, the Bourne Cottage is on eleven acres on Indian Neck at the head of Buzzard's Bay. The Indian Neck area is very private --few houses on much land.
The property is waterfront to Bourne Cove, a salt water bay with oysters, clams and fish. There is a private dock there for swimming and launching non-motorized boats. A leisurely ten-minute stroll along a narrow country lane brings one to the beach on Buzzard's Bay. Tenants have access to the private beach there.
Windsurfing, canoeing, sailing, swimming, kayaking and tennis are popular ways to spend the days. Both beaches slope gently into the water and are ideal for babies and old people alike. The water in Buzzards Bay is pleasantly warm for swimming and there is no dangerous surf or undertow.
Please note: the house has four full bathrooms. One of the bathrooms has a shower. The other three have the original claw foot tubs with shower hose attachments. There is also a large, outdoor shower with hot water.
This is a low key, get your feet wet and sandy family place.
If you want air conditioning and big screen tv, this place is not for you.
If you are afraid of a few bugs and want the beaches raked and free of seaweed, this place is not for you.
If you love natural beauty, quiet neighbors, kayaking and exploring warm waters, and a place where kids are safe riding around on bikes...you have found Heaven. This place is for you! We can only book Sunday through Sunday

Summary: We enjoyed a lovely peaceful stay at Bourne cottage with family and friends. The house can certainly accommodate a crowd and the expansive lawn and views over the marsh and fields offer up peaceful evenings with breezes rolling off the bay. We enjoyed the cove and bay beach for fishing and rock/seashell collecting but for nice sandy swimming beaches we went elsewhere. A few things we noted about the listing were that the property may be on 11 acres but you do not have access to the 11 acres as most of it is marsh. There is a second house on the property that may have owners/guests during your stay and there is no direct water access from the house which you might think based on some pictures and the use of “waterfront.” Access to the cove and private beach are both about ½ mile away/15 minute walk. Regardless, we did truly enjoy our stay, just think there could be some refined description to the listing. The house truly offers and old age cabin feel and was great for bonding and reconnecting with family and friends, reading and lawn games!

We enjoyed the cove and bay beach for fishing and rock/seashell collecting but for nice sandy swimming beaches we daytripped the region.

The house truly offers an old world feel and was great for bonding and reconnecting with family and friends, reading and lawn games!

Summary: An extraordinary home in a lovely setting. True, no TV or AC, but no one missed them for a moment, spending time instead playing on the vast lawn, sitting together in any of the three separate “living room” areas or on the perfect screened porch. Loved the antiques and art on the wall and the very well-equipped kitchen. There are many bedrooms from which to choose and would recommend the lower levels for anyone with children or stair considerations. And, yes, there are antiques and basket weave chairs we were asked to respect, but we had a 4 year old, who had no problem doing so and loved exploring all the many rooms and hearing about the secret passage or hideaways where slaves may have been hidden. Our group consisted of 3 over the age of 67, 3 adults, 1 child, 1 baby, and 1 well-trained dog. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a naturally beautiful, quiet and restful time on the Cape.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at Bourne Cottage -- the unique old house, expansive grounds, and tennis courts were a nice setting for a reunion of family and friends. The pervasive bugs challenged our patience during our week-long stay. But my main reason for writing this review -- a rare less-than-positive review from me -- is that we were fined for a number of things after our stay that put a damper on our vacation. The owners have many valued antiques in the house and provide written instructions on how to use them. We are conscientious renters who worked to follow the house rules but were deemed to have missed the mark and paid quite a bit for it. My advice for future guests would be to take pictures upon arrival of all furniture and dishes (including inside the kitchen cabinets) to document their condition and be sure you put everything back in the correct place. And I wouldn't use the delicate dining room table at all. The Bourne Cottage could be nice for adults who move at a slow pace. But for a large group with kids, it is not a location that I would pick again for a stress-free vacation.

Summary: This place was the perfect low key family vacation spot. We had five adults and two kids, 4 and 7, and everyone agreed that it was a great space to be together but not on top of each other. We took loved being forced to disconnect - no screens, no phones, no schedules, no AC. We walked to nearby beaches and didn't have to worry about the kids getting in traffic. Kids rode bikes on the tennis court. We had quiet time reading in the hammock, on the screened porch, against some of the big beautiful trees. We took long walks along the quiet country roads, met neighbors, and cheered for them in their weekly sailboat race on Saturday morning. Everyone loved the outdoor shower, including the kids (eliminating the daily fight to try to get them clean). Grownups had cocktails on a picnic blanket each evening while the kids ran free in the yard. We watched sunsets and chased fireflies. We all went to bed early and got up with the birds. I don't remember the last time I came back from a vacation so refreshed and still liking my family.

Summary: We loved our stay at Bourne Cottage!! Our family have been coming to the area for years and always stay in a hotel, never again! The house is charming, the property is beautiful, the tennis courts are so fun. The family time we were able to spend in here was the best!

Summary: The house had many rooms, stairs, and hallways. You could feel the history throughout the house. Just open a bunch of windows and cool breezes flow through the house. We slept very well in this secluded getaway! The description was accurate and had everything we needed. The cove was a good place to swim and gather shells. It was nice to not have TV's or electronics so we could spend time as a family talking and laughing. We will be back soon to stay at this place and explore the surrounding areas some more.

Summary: Our family enjoyed a delightful two weeks at Bourne Cottage in August at this fascinating, rambling house. Dating back to the 1700's, it has historic charm yet has been updated to meet the needs of today. A quiet, tranquil setting with a gorgeous view made for total relaxation! We thoroughly enjoyed walking the winding paths to 'Club Mud' and launching the canoe and our own kayaks from the dock, though we only actually experienced the 'mud' part at one low tide - and only if you let your feet touch bottom. Swimming in Bourne Cove is divine, whether from the dock or down at Cove Beach at the point. Water was pristine, thanks to the oyster farm activity in the cove. The oysters cleanse the water as they grow, and they are also delicious. We were thrilled to have bikes available for our rides down to Cove Beach or to Bay Beach on Indian Neck. Every beach was great for swimming, walking and exploring. We even took advantage of the tennis court on the property. Our grandchildren loved exploring Bourne Cottage, especially the secret passage way, which they managed to navigate in its entirety. The many rooms are comfortable, as are the beds. The outdoor shower is a bonus. Owner Louisa was extremely helpful in showing us around the property and suggesting nearby markets and attractions. We would loved to have stayed longer. It was paradise.

Summary: I just returned from a family vacation at this beautiful property. The home is charming and comfortable and is exactly as described in the listing (including photos). The property was clean and well-maintained. Every room in the house affords a lovely gentle breeze and encourages relaxation. We are a large family and everyone slept comfortably in a bed (most times when we vacation at rental home, one or two people are relegated to a sleeper sofa or daybed.) The beach is indeed private and often times, I found myself to be alone on this lovely beach. There are a few rocks, so do bring water shoes. The swimming at the dock was wonderful (especially at high tide) and again, the area is very private. The owner was extremely gracious and was very helpful in providing excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this property for a very relaxing summer vacation!
