About this property

Beautiful North Truro Cottage with screen porch, gardens, and walk to the beach

This beautiful and restful four-season cottage near bay and ocean beaches combines the comfort and ease of modern amenities with the charm of exposed beams and natural pine floors. The building, a renovated barn, has two stories, fifteen by twenty feet, with an attached full bathroom. The cottage is now completely solar-powered. Downstairs the open floor plan has a comfortable seating area with a daybed/couch, a dining table, and a fully equipped kitchen. French doors lead to the delightful screened-in porch with table and chairs, creating a sense of continuous space, inside and out. Upstairs is light and airy, with windows looking over the back hill, gardens, and a large cherry tree full of songbirds. There is a high-quality queen bed and single bed by the windows (perfect for reading and daydreaming). The cottage is located on a large property next to a 150-year-old, cape-style farmhouse surrounded by vegetable and flower gardens. Organic vegetables, eggs and honey are all produced on the property and can be purchased when available. Situated in Pond Village in North Truro, bay beaches are just a ten minute walk down historic Pond Road. A two minute walk brings you to the village general store and two cafes, one serving artisanal chocolates made on premises. Ocean beaches are only a ten minute bike ride away. A TV, DVD player and WiFi allow you to connect to the modern world. There is basic cable, and newly-installed Apple TV with Netflix and many other venues to watch. There is also a basement with a washer/dryer and on-site parking. The Owners, Rob and Janice, are gracious hosts, respectful of your privacy and there for anything you may need. Summer visits are full of breezes, and winter stays are warmed by a state-of-the art heating system installed in 2013. This is an ideal getaway at any season for two or three people.

Winter Es-Cape
The cottage was easy access of rt6. We entered into a cozy warm 1 room cottage that felt like we were staying at a family apt. Janice & Robert were so kind, the felt like people we had already known. Wirh Janice's directions we walked from the cottage to Cape Cod Bay and then walked to the Atlantic side...perfect location to see both sides of the cape! We walked to the Truro Vineyard for fabulous pizza & wine tasting and walked backe to the cottage! A great adventure and winter walk. The bed & futon were very comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. I hope to go back again. A great Winter Es-Cape!

Lovely Stay in Cozy Cabin
We had a lovely weekend in the cabin and had a great time exploring Cape Cod. The location is perfect for going up and down the cape. Our hosts were gracious and gave us plenty of space. The space itself is very comfortable and clean with a very well stocked kitchen.

This cottage was perfect for our early spring getaway. It was cozy and charming and the book shelves were stocked with so many interesting titles. The bed is oh so comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were lovely with great reccomendations and we hope to return some day.

Very peaceful
What a hidden gem! This little cottage is ideally situated for exploring the end of the Cape and offers a really scenic setting in nature (we visited at the end of May so everything was very lush and green). The inside of the cottage is super cozy and unique, especially if you enjoy farmhouse-style architecture. We especially enjoyed taking advantage of the screened porch and outdoor shower :) Lastly, the owners are very gracious and kind and even gave us fresh eggs from their chicken coop - thank you for your hospitality!!

Perfect even during winter
When we arrived after sunset, the lights and heating were turned on to welcome us. It was a cozy place with plenty room for two or four people. Everything was cleaned and they have all kitchen ware, seasoning, and cooking ware ready for you! Over all a great stay!!

Excellent stay in North Truro
The cottage couldn't have been better. It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for cooking meals and relaxing. The location is quiet and close to beaches, National Parks, P-Town, and interesting shops. The hosts are available if needed. Otherwise we were left to ourselves to relax. I can't recommend it enough.

Writer's Cottage
This was a beautiful visit complete with hens, gladiolas, roses and pine trees. The cottage is private and lovely close to 2 beaches within walking distance- Cold Storage and Coast Guard. Janice and Rob are artists. They are quiet and wonderfully sweet people. Do go if you want serenity, a work space to write and quiet. Everything you need is there- very clean and well kept. The screened in porch is amazing.

We had a great five days in N Truro. The cottage was clean and cool, with great porch space and lovely hand drawn maps of local walks. It’s bikeable to P-town and walkable to a cute market and the Truro vineyard. I loved the filtered water tap on the sink :)

About the host

Hosted by rdutoit@comcast.net

Host profile image
My wife and I are both artists, teachers, and live on the property year round. Our son, who is 13, enjoys nature and raises butterflies in the summer, tends to the chickens, and loves to run and swim. We have spent years renovating and decorating the house and cottage which are both filled with beautiful artwork and good books. We spend a lot of our time cultivating vegetables and flowers, and raise chickens and bees. We eat the food we produce all year and enjoy selling produce to renters and neighbors when available.

Why they chose this property

We loved the property the first minute we saw it and lived in the cottage ourselves for 12 summers. We were especially attracted to the rural feel of pond village and being surrounded by abundant nature, animal and bird life and the local culture of artists, tradesman and fisherman. We call it paradise, and the best kept secret on the outer Cape!
