About The Owner

Our property is owned by four siblings and has been enjoyed by our family for generations. Known as Barrel Hill, or formerly Signal Hill, it is the highest spot in Barnstable Village, where historically a barrel was raised to announce the arrival of packets. Farmers would bring produce to the harbor and welcome supplies from Boston.

The Owner purchased this house in 1925
Why The Owner chose Barnstable

This property has been in the family for several generations and has a great deal of history with the others family properties that surround it. The house has been remodeled and expanded several times, preserving its charm, yet growing and modernizing to provide plenty of comfort for a large group.

What makes this house unique

Our property is unique because it is totally private, adjoining acres of conserved land, yet only a five minute walk to lovely Barnstable Village. The other primary benefit is its ability to comfortably accommodate a large group.

Warm & Inviting Retreat

Warm & Inviting Retreat
5 of 5
Submitted: February 21, 2012 Stayed: October 2011
I visited this home with one of the owners and found everything to be warm and inviting. There is ample room to entertain, as well as plenty of privacy. Rooms are all comfortable and well equiped. The home is within walking distance of the village where delicious coffee and quaint shops can be found. It is an easy walk to the water, or short drive to restaurants and more shopping. Great for a family reunion. A perfect getaway!
Recommended for:  Girls Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, People with Disabilities
Owner's Response: I believe this reviewer participated in a yoga retreat at our home, underscoring the spaciousness of the property. The location is very private and there is also ample room for privacy within the house, accommodating visitors of varied ages and interests.
