House is south of rt 28. Access to 40 miles of Cape Cod Rail Trail bike path is across the way.
The House: If you want privacy, romance, fun for kids, this is the perfect house.
There is easy access to the bike path, so you don't need to drive there with bikes. You can bike or walk to the beach in under fifteen minutes. There is a great tree swing for kids, a little tree house perch for kids and adults (we sit there and drink tea), a truly romantic claw-foot bathtub in the barn bedroom complete with scented candles and a terrycloth bathrobe, the seating area on the deck with strings of lights in the trees makes the outdoors magical, the loft is well-loved by kids of all ages and provides a wonderful place to hang out, play games, put on plays for the adults downstairs in the living room, write on the chalk-board ceiling, have privacy, make mischief. The kitchen is well stocked, there are plenty of games, badminton, and hammocks hanging around the property.
Everyone tells us that they could spend their entire vacation without ever leaving the truly private and beautiful property.
The Barn : The barn has a large (18 x 24) second floor bedroom which can sleep parents and kids (there is a queen size bed as well as a single.) The barn consists of a bathroom, clawfoot tub, outdoor shower, small kitchen with no stove, but coffeemaker, microwave, toaster oven, fridge, Weber gas grill on the back deck, outdoor hammock. The barn is rustic and very pretty. Please email for more photos.
Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge: Also in Chatham (from Fodors)
Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge is a quiet, peaceful place of sand and beach grass, tidal flats, dunes, marshes, freshwater ponds, thickets of bayberry and beach plum. Several groups conduct tours of the islands, including the Massachusetts Audubon Society, many with a focus on bird-watching. In season, the Rip Ryder will take you over from Chatham for bird- or seal-watching tours; private charters are also available. Another excellent option is Monomoy Island Excursions, which offers seal and seabird tours and boat trips out around Monomoy Island, leaving from Saquatucket Harbor on a 43-foot high-speed catamaran. Outermost Adventures also provides water taxi services out to Monomoy Island and offers fishing, birding, and seal-watching cruises.
