A unique setting for a wonderful family summer get-together

5 of 5
Submitted: November 1, 2011 Stayed: July 2010
We stayed for a week in the summer with our children and grandchildren -- 13 in all. The home itself is spectacular -- full of antiques and gorgeous furnishings. We all really felt the magic and history of the place, but not in a stuffy way. Croquet on the lawn; reading children's books aloud under the spreading branches of a wonderful tree in the yard; our 1 1/2 year-old greeting "George" every morning as she addressed his bust in the kitchen; playing the grand piano; walks around Shawme Pond -- these are only a few of the memories that are now part of our family's shared history. Yvonne is more than an owner; she is one of those rare generous souls who makes sure everything is more than perfect for her guests and becomes a family friend.

Beautiful Family Home

5 of 5
Submitted: October 26, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
We recently had our wedding at this beautiful home with our family and close friends. Everyone that stayed with us fell in love with this house. And it was the perfect setting for an intimate small wedding, we could not have asked for more. The owner of the home made us feel like we were family and pulled out all the stops for us. We would definitely recommend this rental property for anyone looking for a beautiful home to enjoy with their family and friends. The pictures displayed online are true in nature and seeing is believing, very spacious, clean and well maintained. There is a pond across the way with beautiful swans,ducks and you can fish in it. Walk thru town and see the Glass Museum, plenty of sights to see.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your review. It is so important to me that anyone who stays at the Newcomb Tavern feel as if they are the most important people on Cape Cod and enjoy the surroundings of the late 1600's with the amenities of the 21st century. It has always been a core belief that " it is in giving that we receive". Everyone who has ever stayed in the Newcomb Tavern has always mentioned that it is a HAPPY HOUSE....may it always be so !

The house and location are even better than the
pictures show. It was a perfect place for our family
reunion. The owner provided us with everything we
needed to feel at home and comfortable. The
featherbed was so luxurious. In the evenings, we
enjoyed duets on the piano from those in our group
who played. Easy walk into town and to the
beaches. Do stay in this marvelous and wonderfully
preserved house if you can!

My family had the pleasure of being guests in the Newcomb Tavern, Sandwich.

When first entering the home you have a feeling of welcome and warmth. Entering each room captures your interest and you find yourself wanting to explore the next room.

Being able to move in and experience the beauty and history of this Historic home is a privilege. My family were all sad at the end of our stay and we all look forward to making this a yearly occurence.

Thank you once again Yvonne for your care of this wonderful home and for allowing us to be your guests.
