2 Bedroom Cottage in Dennis

This 18th century rustic Cape Cod cottage is on almost 2 secluded acres and has a 200-foot lakefront with beach, boathouse with a bar, kayak, canoe, and Hobie Wave catamaran right on Scargo Lake. With its own swimming and boating beach on freshwater Scargo Lake, the setting alone promises a memorable vacation. You can in the same day swim in the salt waters of Cape Cod Bay and in the pristine water of Scargo Lake and still find time to sail around the lake and feed the ducks and swans. Just glance at the review below to see why people love to vacation here and often return. Click below on 'More Details' for an elaborated description of the cottage and the Dennis Village area.
The cottage has a full kitchen, an air-conditioned living/dining room, and two air-conditioned bedrooms upstairs. The cottage sleeps six with a queen bed in one bedroom, and a full bed in the second bedroom. A queen or single air bed can be used downstairs in the living room. All floors are hardwood. Cable TV and WiFi are provided. The cottage has a washer & dryer, dishwasher, full stove with oven, and propane heat for off-season vacations. In addition to a just-renovated bathroom, the cottage has its own outdoor shower with hot and cold water. The boathouse has a bar with bar stools and open area facing the lake. The 200' lakefront is ideal for outdoor dining. At the lakefront is a fire pit where families can gather, make music, watch the moonlight over Scargo Lake, and cook around the fire.
Glacial Scargo Lake is famous on Cape Cod for being both serene and clean. Only sailboats, canoes, etc. are allowed. The lakefront is so quiet that one can often hear the beachgoers playing at the public beach on the other side of the lake, half a mile away. Cape Cod Bay beaches (Howes and Corporation) are a 15-20 minute walk from the cottage (or a 2 minute drive), so one can swim in the bay and rinse off in Scargo Lake’s crystal clear water. Famous Mayflower beach is less than 5 minutes drive away. The lakefront has 3 entrances into the water for swimming, one a sandy beach that is great for children as it is shallow for a considerable distance before the water deepens. The lake is also excellent for sailing, canoeing or kayaking and tenants may use the Hobie Wave Catamaran sailboat, kayak, or canoe (life jackets in the boathouse-mandatory). Bass and trout fishing, including fly-fishing and ice fishing, make the lake a year-round fishing paradise.
Please call the owner if you are interested. The owner requires that there be a phone conversation before there is any rental agreement.
The cottage is located off 6A in Dennis Village, a village unchanged since the 1950s. Although set back from the road and secluded by vegetation, the cottage is easily within walking distance of the village. The property is a short walk (5-15 minutes) from the Cape Playhouse (world famous off-Broadway theater), Cape Cinema ('art' films, not commercial fare) Cape Cod Art Museum (well worth a visit, Cape artists), local restaurants (many excellent, some exceptional) and the center of town (a gazebo). A large shopping mall is a ten-minute drive to Patriot Square. The area also has great hiking and biking trails. The review that follows below confirms that people love to vacation at the cottage on Scargo Lake, as will you.

Summary: The lake is so beautiful and peaceful. Great location, near lots of good restaurants and places. Verity, the host, communicated well. A lovely place to stay on Cape Cod on a freshwater pond.

Summary: From the moment we arrived we felt at ease. The location is perfect for a vacation on Cape Cod. We were so close to several beaches and our family really enjoyed the Mayflower beach both after 5 pm and during the day. The lake access was a blast for our kids as well. The property was well maintained and we couldn’t believe all of the space we had to relax. Overall Verity was a wonderful host. She was easily accessible and had helpful ideas on how to enjoy the stay. We would love to return to the property and can highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you for a great family vacation!

Summary: The house shares the property with another place with full access to Scargo Lake at one end and lots of lawn near 6A. We found the place clean and inviting and the bedrooms cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was small but adequate for our needs. Great location in Dennis, would stay again!

Summary: We enjoyed our 2 week stay on Scargo Lake. We especially enjoyed the quietness and privacy of the house and location. Easy to walk around town and wonderful restaurants so close. Having a beautiful sandy bottom lake in your backyard was definitely a plus, we swam every day for hours. In the evening we watched the duck family swim by. We even caught a fish. No need to go to the beach although they are close by. We made lovely meals as well. Verity was a very attentive host. The beds were very comfortable. Would definitely return.

Summary: Thank you very much for a delightful stay. An ideal location with all the amenities of home. The owner was extremely tentative to ensuring we were acclimated to the property and features. Would not hesitate in recommending this wonderful vacation spot.

Summary: This was my second year staying at the Guest Cottage. I was able to be alone for the first 4 days of my stay. It felt like I was back in my childhood when we stayed in Brewster. Crickets at night, breakfast, lunch and dinner on the patio, kayaking and swimming in the lake and checking out some of the new stores in Dennis Village. I Love This House!

Summary: It has been many years since I have felt the "Real Cape Cod". I have been a homeowner and vacationer on the Cape for 60 years. The cottage was cozy, comfortable and easy to care for. The amenities are up to date and the location is perfect. There were days that I never left the property. Scargo Lake is wonderful for swimming and kayaking. What a wonderful way to get away from the 21st century. ( With Wifi and Television, too)!
