About this property

Privacy and Luxury on 9 acres Overlooking Ponds & Ocean - Dog Friendly

So idyllic it defies description – the best of both worlds in the prestigious Meadow View Heights in the West End. Nine acres of privacy and luxury in a pristine nature preserve overlooking Shank Painter Pond and Herring Cove, bordering the National Seashore. A renter's son said "The house is in the middle of nowhere and the edge of everything." Three minute bike ride or ten to 15 minute walk to Provincetown’s best restaurants with a path to Herring Cove Beach. Spectacular sunset views over the pond and ocean. Glorious views of water from every window – and two bedroom windows with views of Pilgrim’s Monument. Morning coffee on the side porch watching the birds and wildlife, cocktails on the front deck enjoying the sunset, luxuriating on the overstuffed furniture in the great room with soaring cathedral ceilings. Relax in this peaceful setting. Our home is beautifully appointed, gourmet kitchen, open floor plan, granite counters, large bedrooms, central a/c, wireless Internet, parking galore and dog friendly (must be approved by owner)! It doesn't get better than this.

A word about Shank Shank Painter Pond . . . It has been described as Provincetown's ecological crown jewel, containing the world's largest known quaking bog found on a barrier beach. Hawks, ospreys, and an array of rare fauna and flora are found in the Shank Painter Wildlife Sanctuary. Adjoining Clapps Pond is one of the largest freshwater wetlands in Provincetown, home to many seabirds, migratory birds, turtles, and river otters.

Gorgeous spot good for a group

This is a beautiful house in a quiet, somewhat remote part of Provincetown. It's a hefty hike into town (20 min walk or 10ish min bike) so plan accordingly. That said, the land and views are spectacular and peaceful. We stayed in the winter and the house was snug and warm against the chill. It was a special bonus to be able to use the fireplace with the provided wood.The three upstairs (main floor upper floor) bedrooms and bathrooms are all nice. The bedroom in the basement is nice for privacy but the heating system was quite loud down there - so loud one of our party had to move to the main floor to be able to sleep. Also there is no bathroom in the basement - you will use the main floor bathroom and share a shower with one of the other rooms. Kitchen had all amenities we needed, and we cooked quite a few meals in.

Privacy and Nature

Beautiful home offering both complete privacy and convenience. Very warm and cozy home with more than enough space for our party of 8. Enjoyed relaxing on the huge deck, chatting in the sunroom, cooking a gourmet meal and watching a movie, while enjoying a beautiful fire! Everyone enjoyed a wonderful getaway!

Dream House

This is one of the most beautiful spots we have ever stayed. We held our intimate wedding reception here, and we could not have picked a better place. The pictures do not so this house justice. The rooms are spacious and the fire place is magnificent. The outdoor space is tranquil and the pond is so lovely and full of wildlife. We loved falling asleep to the frogs and crickets! The walk through the dunes to the beach is absolute magic, an easy ten minutes if you like exercise, longer but completely doable for those who prefer to stroll. Janet and Steve are both lovely, and were so helpful and answered all of our ten million questions! ( Thank you both, I am sure we were annoying.) This house will live in our memories forever as a very special place, and we hope to be able to return in the future.

Idyllic stay

This property surpassed our expectations: the feeling of isolation even though you were a mere mile from downtown; the well-appointed kitchen and lovely decor; the views out most windows of nature and ponds, and more. We spent the days exploring different beaches and hikes with our 18 - and 20-year old kids, and the evenings playing pool in the fantastic basement. Kids also appreciated that there were lots of running routes right out the door. Will definitely return!

Winter Getaway

Our family had a great time in this spacious home. The great room provided a wonderful spot for a marathon of board games, and the kitchen was well equipped for meal preparation for our large party. The location is spectacular, and lent itself to hikes through the dunes and daily jogs to town. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of shops and restaurants that were open in the off season and the welcome of our dog in many establishments.

Dream a little dream...

1 Bayberry is such a precious place that one almost wants to fake a poor review just to keep the secret. But the reality is the opposite, 1 Bayberry is a "unicorn". It almost defies definition. The walk to the beach through the dunes is otherworldly, as if your vacation was to Tatooine instead of Cape Cod and Herring Beach feels like your private getaway. Who are these people who drove there? The approach to the home takes your breath away and the alternate sunrise/sunset views of the private bogs with ducks, herons and other wildlife leaves the life you left behind as far off from your mind as you dreamed. All this and yet an easy peddle by bike to the restaurants, pier and shops lets you leave your keys in your bag. The rooms afford distinct privacy and vantage points with a warm majestic center room where your friends and family comfortably join by the fireplace in the stone hearth. Night arrives, to the game room! Morning arrives, to the covered porch to sip hot coffee and tea on rocking chairs while the mist dissipates. The hosts were amazing and super responsive when we accidentally set off the alarm (oops, sorry Steve and Janet, did not mean it!) The ONLY downside is that there will be an end to your time at 1 Bayberry. Could not give higher praise. Our stay was recent yet feels like a dream we had, one afternoon, long ago...

PTown Oasis of Beauty, Comfort, Nature and Calm

This property is a dream come true for anyone who loves the natural beauty of Provincetown and wants to pretend for a time to live there, surrounded by that beauty, with all the comforts of a graciously and tastefully appointed home. Part chalet, part log cabin, the atmosphere is warm and woody, beds comfy, lighting that adapts to any mood, stained glass accents that delight, a vaulted ceiling that is just plain awesome with a stone fireplace equally so. Big enough for extended families and/or friends, but a spacious retreat for me as a solo traveler. You can see the amazing sunset from the deck that squarely faces West. Privacy ... Peace ... Pleasure ... Poetry. A place you want to return to ...

A hidden gem

This property was truly tucked away in the corner of town. It’s feels like no one knows you’re there, but you’re right next to them. Overall, the property was amazing. Clean and so serene. The house was the most well stocked I’ve been to. I gave the accuracy of the listing 4/5 because the pictures don’t do it justice - it’s better in person. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Lovely cabin!

The cabin was big and beautiful as in the pictures! The location was definitely beautiful and quiet, great for a serene getaway. The location was not far from the closest part of town, but to the end of town was a bit far to walk. Would definitely recommend using the rentable scooters or bikes if you’re not bringing a car. Regardless, the hosts were very responsive and the house was everything you could hope for!

Pristine and Peaceful

This property is gorgeous, yet located close to town. It's spacious and comfortable (the beds are super comfortable), and ideal for a group stay. You must take a walk on the path near the house to Herring Cove Beach. You will meander through the sand dunes and marshes and find your way to this beautiful, interesting beach. This was one of the highlights of our stay!

Absolutely loved our winter stay here. I can’t imagine a more perfect location. Sits up on a bluff overlooking the marshes. Gorgeous sunsets, beautiful sunrises. Huge working fireplace that we made good use of. Nice supply of well dried wood just outside. Close to town, close to the beaches and dunes. Very comfortable and well-equipped home.

A great choice

This is a property that I wouldn't mind owning myself! Very private, very well laid out, very attractive/upscale (you get what you pay for, of course!) We saw a coy-wolf on the deck one day (beware those of you bringing pets/children!) Loved the fireplace and pool table/ping pong table for November evenings which begin early. Very functional kitchen, as I was able to cook all meals, including Thanksgiving dinner.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Bustrin or Steve Stubelt

Host profile image
In 2005, Steve and I purchased a cottage in the center of town. "That," Steve said, "is that." And, oh how we LOVE Ptown!! However, a little over a year later as we were walking our black lab and Newfoundland down to the bay beach one evening, we passed a local real estate office. Steve suggested I "take a look at the board." He thought I would check to see how our investment was doing. But I thought, "Yes! A shopping opportunity!" The next day, Steve was upset I was "wasting our time" by taking a look at this house in the West End. The moment we drove up, he groaned about how we were "in trouble." The house was just like his grandparents in Minnesota on Lake Tetonka where he had spent many a summer as a child. Log cabin, cathedral ceilings with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. We were home. You will be, too.

Why they chose this property

If you're seeking privacy and the beauty of nature, while still close to the heart of Provincetown, this is the house for you. Nine acres of tranquility. Listen to the owls in the evenings. Watch the otters and water fowl in the pond. Maybe a fox will pass by. Can't make it for the sunset at Herring Cove? That's okay. Just watch from the deck at Sunset Point while relaxing with your wine/cocktail. Total peace? Priceless!

What makes this property unique

AMPLE parking - as many as 8+ cars. Enormous ballroom size deck. The side porch with rocking chairs allows everyone their privacy.
