— THE PROPERTY —
Master Bedroom: California King bed | Bedroom 2: King bed | Bedroom 3: King bed | Bedroom 4: Two Queen beds. Built-in shelving separates this bedroom into two bedrooms with a doorway in between. Technically, it is one room, but serves more like two.
As you arrive at the property, the first thing you’ll notice is the well-maintained yard, leading up to the Cape Cod-style exterior of the home, and the brand new oversized front porch.
The sunny common area combines the living room, dining room, and kitchen under beautiful, vaulted ceiling with large windows lining the walls. The open layout makes the home feel expansive, yet comfortable, with relaxing decor to set the tone for your vacation.
After memorable days at the beach, prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen - or utilize the deck’s gas grill to BBQ or cook up your catch-of-the-day. Dine around the unique, hand-crafted dining room table, or outside on the massive back deck which provides abundant seating.
The large master suite is the only bedroom located on the main level, featuring an en-suite bathroom for maximum privacy, and a door with direct access to the porch and the spacious outdoor shower.
The finished basement offers an enormous sectional couch and 65” television. Unfortunately, the exercise equipment pictured in the listing is no longer accesible.
— THE LOCATION —

If you prefer to drive, there is a parking lot too. This rental location is also convenient to catch ferries from Hyannis for a day trip to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, or enjoy a whale watch or deep sea fishing tour out of Barnstable Harbor.
If you prefer to stay on land, lounge on the hammock or shoot hoops, as there is a basketball hoop for your use. Of course you can take a swing at golfing on one of many courses throughout the area. West Barnstable Conversation Area is only 1 mile away, with access to bountiful hiking and biking trails, woven throughout the forests. You can also stroll miles of beautiful cranberry bogs just half a mile away from the home. When night falls, enjoy the fire pit under the stars.

Summary: Our group of 8 ranging from 1-80 stayed at Valerie's home for a week long vacation in August. There were very few houses that met the criteria for our group and this house was really perfect. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We loved the huge yard for the kids to run around in and the wrap around porch was a great place to sit and relax. The lake is a bit farther away than we hoped but is really beautiful and so peaceful. We would love to come back again! Valerie was extremely responsive and easy to work with.

Summary: We loved our stay at the home, and it was exactly what we were looking for to accommodate a few families traveling together. There are tons of activities for kids from board games, the mini house in the backyard and the nearby lake that is within walking distance. We spent a lot of time on the peaceful front porch as well. Our son said this was his favorite vacation property we have ever stayed at.

Summary: We couldn’t have asked for more. We were three families (6 adults and 4 kids) and perfectly accommodated, enough rooms for everyone and space for each to do their own thing. The mini house is a lovely added touch, kids loved it! The communication with Valerie was great, she provided lots of helpful tips to make our stay memorable (we loved Dowses beach!). The house was clean and fully equipped, really enjoyed having access to the beach chairs and some toys for the kids. Thank you so much to our host, we felt so welcome from the minute we arrived. Saving this house for our next trip to Cape Cod!

Summary: Our stay at The Mills was just everything we could have wanted - and more! Valerie (the property contact/owner) was fabulous. Right from the start we felt welcomed - and not just because of the unexpected (above-and-beyond) welcome gift she left for us, either. The house was just so warm and inviting - and CLEAN! That's super important to me whenever I go anywhere, so it's something that I always note right away. It's very clear to me that she wants her guests to have a special and memorable stay right from the start - and we certainly did. Communication with her was very very easy - we could always count on her to respond quickly. She is also a wealth of information, and has put together a book filled with everything you need to know while you're staying there. And the house comes stocked with everything you might need, too - there isn't a thing I can think of that wasn't there. There were tons of bath and beach towels, a drawer full of Keurig coffee cups, cabinets stocked with spices, oils, other cooking ingredients, paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates, etc - and outside, firewood!! Tons of firewood for the fabulous fire pit! We loved sitting around the fire, and used it many of the nights we were there, so we used a lot of it. When we asked if we could replenish it, they told us that it's a gift from them to their guests! The "mini house" in the backyard is really cute and well done. All and all, I can't say enough about our stay at The Mills!!

Summary: Our stay was wonderful. Home was immaculate and everything you could want in a VRBO was provided. Owners were excellent in communicating with us and assured us if anything was needed they would tend to it right away but I can truly say this home was perfectly appointed and our family enjoyed all aspects. The outdoor shower was a big hit! Best I have ever seen. Loved spending family time on the huge front porch as well as meals on the back deck. Mini house was a fun place for our grandchildren too! Most of all very comfortable beds. I would highly recommend this VRBO and would rent again. Thank you Valerie and Greg for sharing your home with us!

Summary: I can't say enough great things about this property and the owners. The house is large, beautiful, and cozy. Located at the end of a culdesac, it is a perfect place for kids to run around and play and also have a quiet, relaxing vacation. The house has great places to relax (comfy couches, Adirondack chairs, and hammocks) and it is a quick walk to a beautiful pond. The hosts are extremely responsive (and accommodating!). A quick drive to most places in Barnstable, including our favorite beach. Final highlight: watching my 60+ yr old parents try to navigate the touch faucet in the kitchen. A week's worth of entertainment! :) . We hope to be back next summer!

Summary: Our family of 6 adults and 2 young children enjoyed staying at this comfortable, well-equipped house. The large lawn, front porch, and back deck were great for the children, who had fun playing with some balls and other toys in the garage. The house has a vast collection of children's books and games which were a big hit with the little ones. The back deck also was perfect for grilling and dining al fresco. Everyone enjoyed swimming and canoeing at Mystic Lake, which really is only a 5 minute walk or short drive or bike ride from the house.. We also visited Sandy Neck and Dowses Beaches (each about a 15 minute drive from the house) and had delicious seafood at the Chatham Fish Market. The West Barnstable Conservation Area located about a mile from the house was good for running/hiking and for mountain biking, but we found that the nearby roads were not well suited for biking. The hosts provided great service; there was a problem with the oven (even though it is modern), but Valerie arranged to have it repaired promptly and even dropped by with a blueberry pie as a friendly gesture to make up for the minor inconvenience. We would recommend this house for family vacation.

Summary: We stayed July 2022 for our first post covid vacation with our family group. The house is beautiful. Every detail was thought of. The mini house was awesome, my boys loved it- it had a TV and AC, perfect hangout. The bedrooms were good sized and allowed lots of space. The kitchen was very well stocked, all sorts of cooking supplies, dishes, spices- so nice to not have to bring all of those things. The outdoor shower was huge. Loved how it was right off the amazing front porch, with a hammock and plenty of seating. We spent most nights by the firepit. The downstairs added a lot of extra space as well. Washer and dryer are always an added bonus. The family also left us a personalized beach bag, welcome book, cape cod chips and wine. Lots of toys, bikes etc in the garage. Also, a kayak off a private/walk able lake. By far, our favorite rental on cape cod. Looking forward to another stay next summer. Thank you Valerie for sharing your home with us. We made some amazing memories. Erica

Summary: We were thoroughly impressed with this beautiful property. It is spacious, beautifully furnished, extremely clean and well-kept. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully stocked. Don't miss the outdoor shower! There's a lot to do just a short drive away. Highlights were shopping in Hyannis and the low tide at Sandy Neck Beach. Thank you Valerie!
