Chatham MA + Barn Hill = Heaven on Earth

My family has been travelling to Chatham for almost 30 years and with a growing family, we decided to rent this home back in 2010 and every summer since then.
Chatham is by far the best town on Cape Cod offering something for just about every member of your family or travelling party. On the elbow of Cape Cod, Chatham is the quintessential small summer village with a mile long “Main Street” offering everything from small clothing boutiques and t-shirt shops to penny candy stores and lots of locally made goods to bring home after your vacation. Surrounded by beaches on 3 sides of town, it’s hard to go wrong whether you’re looking to brave the cold Atlantic at Lighthouse Beach, bring your kids to the calm salt water inlet of Oyster Pond or find a nice cove boasting warmer waters off of Pleasant Bay in North Chatham. Once you’ve soaked up enough sun for the day, Chatham offers a wide variety of options for dinner and drinks, but for the baseball lovers in your life, there is nothing better than taking in a Chatham Anglers game where you can scout some of the finest college talent and Major League Baseball prospects in the country. And if you think you’ve exhausted everything Chatham has to offer (which is almost impossible) the towns central location on Cape Cod makes it relatively easy to take a day trip up to Provincetown or Wellfleet for an evening at the Drive-In movie theater.
As for the house on Barn Hill, you cannot go wrong. The perfect house for a larger parties, whether it be several couples or multiple families, there is plenty of space for everyone. With each bedroom and bathroom positioned on its own floor or wing of the house, each person can enjoy their own personal space without feeling crowded a major plus for large groups looking to actually find time to rest and relax on vacation. The kitchen, dining room, and living room have been recently updated and can accommodate a large group for a fresh fish dinner or even just one person who stayed home for the day to enjoy a good book next to the picture window overlooking the ocean. And finally, but possibly the most important feature of the house at the end of Barn Hill is that it offers an amazing lawn and one of the most spectacular views in Chatham—the perfect setting for your morning coffee, afternoon game of bocce, or glass of wine after a long day enjoying Chatham.
To summarize, don’t wait. This is the true Cape Cod experience.

If I could rate this listing with seven of five stars, I would. This property is a slice of Heaven on a hill! I've stayed here more than once in the past few years, and plan to return again and again.
There is ample space for multiple couples or families with children. With sleeping quarters at both ends of the house, even a full-house offers privacy and quiet. And this house is meant to be filled. With a dining room table that easily seats 12, and lots of outdoor space for lawn games, you'll want to corral a group of friends and family for your stay here! Its warm & welcoming in the cooler months, and cool & breezy in the summer.
My favorite feature of the house is the front porch & lawn. the porch is perfect for drinking coffee and enjoying the spectacular view, reading the morning paper, or watching the bustling activity of the public landing at the the base of the hill, as fishermen head out for the day and visitors put their boats in the water. Writing this review makes me wish I was there now! Barn Hill - LOVE IT!

A special home for a memorable vacation
Submitted: October 23, 2012
Stayed: October 2012
We were a group of eight long-time women friends who celebrated significant "over the hill" birthdays on the "hill'. We couldn't have asked for more luxury. The jetted tub was particularly welcoming after bike riding.
It was easy to prepare our celebratory dinner in the well-appointed kitchen. We spent countless hours at the dining room table eating, drinking and laughing and in the living room lounging and relishing the spectacular view. The house has wonderful Karma.
As a previous reviewer mentioned the pictures really don’t do the house justice. The home is expansive and elegant; yet very comfortable. When individuals wanted time alone it was easy to find a nook inside or out on the porch or stroll down to the water.
Even in mid-October we found ourselves overloaded with entertainment options when we actually ventured off the property. Chatham, Provincetown and a number of beaches were ‘must see’ destinations.
We all would highly recommend this special home for an extra-special memorable vacation.

Historic home in great location
Submitted: October 21, 2012
Stayed: September 2012
I booked this house for a long weekend reunion with family and was not disappointed. The location was wonderful and overlooks the water and a picturesque lighthouse in the distance. The property allows plenty of space for children to play games and explore while remaining within sight of adults on the front porch. Town and other beaches are also very accessible. The house itself is incredibly charming; it's clear that the main portion of the house is historic, yet modern updates have been made without compromising the home's original character. The house was clean and we had no issues. It was also my first time to Chatham, which is a lovely town with beautiful beaches and plenty of shopping and dining options. We are looking forward to returning.

The listing does not do this place justice! No description or photo could accurately capture the upscale accommodations and surrounding beauty. We loved our stay!
My girlfriend and I rented this luxury property with three other couples while attending a wedding in Chatham. The location is perfect, right on the water overlooking the town landing and only a couple minutes from one of the best beaches in Chatham and the quaint village center. The meticulously updated and restored 18th century home is perfectly arranged for multi-family rentals or for multiple couples. The kitchen and bathrooms are very modern (although I recommend the outdoor shower), and the living room and bedrooms are perfectly decorated with coastal and ocean themes.
The sprawling lawn welcomed bocce, horseshoes and other outdoor games and activities, and the large deck became the perfect setting for outdoor meals next to the modern gas grill.
The rental was perfectly clean and well maintained. The lawn was meticulously landscaped, and the interior was spotless and stocked with fresh linens.
We had no issues during our rental, but I am confident the owner would have addressed them as quickly as he did when we were researching the house prior to our vacation.
I would absolutely recommend this place to my friends, and the 8 of us are already planning our return to this house next summer! This place defines Cape Cod charm!

We had an absolutely wonderful Memorial Day weekend stay at the Barn Hill property. The house was immaculate, recently renovated and has incredible views of Oyster River and Monomoy Island beyond. We spent hours on the deck watching the boats pass by on the water. The kids loved the large front and back yards with fruit trees and gardens. We have already booked our return stay for next year. Enjoy!

Great Vacation
Submitted: May 3, 2011
Stayed: July 2010
We stayed here in July of 2010 and had an amazing week!! The house is tastefully remodeled and very comfortable. The house was very clean and all the amenities were provided (cable, internet, linens, towels, etc.). There was more than enough room for our family, my sister-in-law and nephew as well as a family of four that came in for a few days from NJ. An added bonus was the fact that we were able to bring our dog with us- no small thing when renting out a house of this quality!! The house has a very big lawn for the kids to run and play under the sprinklers and is right across the street from the town boat landing and less than a 2 minute drive to Hardings beach. If you like to walk the marsh, you can even walk over to the beach. The owners were very gracious and were available anytime we had a question or an issue. It is obvious that the house is special to the family and a highlight of the trip was hearing about all the history of the house and the area from the owner on the day we came in. It is also very close to all that Chatham has to offer and I would highly recommend the local seafood restaurants. All in all, a wonderful time. Thank you.
