About this property

Booking for 2025 now! WATERVIEWS! 4min drive to Hardings Beach!

We loved seeing the different groups who came through our house this year. We had bachelorette parties, multi-generational family vacations, friends or couples weekend retreat, golf weekends and even tourists from Europe. Read our recent reviews on weneedavacation.com, property 4564 and book fast! You can also check us out @ lareservecapecod.com, our contact information is there!

Welcome to beautiful Chatham, Massachusetts & “Harborview Lodge”, the main estate house of a former private sailing retreat, now a fabulous, year-round vacation house.

Where vintage cape meets updated comfort, our house accommodates large family groups of all ages. Modern bathrooms, new Thermador dual-fuel range, and two gas grills outside.

Ideally situated, just steps to boating, with deeded access to the Oyster River where you can launch the four kayaks included with the rental.

Beautiful home, stroll to shops, restaurants, ice cream, bike path, & famous Hardings Beach on Nantucket Sound... top-rated beach, fun for all ages. and safe... and just minutes from downtown Chatham!

This spacious, charming, well-maintained, beach-house-style lodge is perfect for family reunions, special birthdays or anniversaries, or just for hanging with friends! Enjoy your morning coffee in the spacious great room comfortably appointed with a huge fireplace, two sofas, including a large sectional, and a great view of the beautiful Oyster River and marina below. Step outside to the 30 foot deck with a spectacular view of the water!

After a day at the beach, kayaking, or shopping, enjoy a great cooking experience in the two fully equipped kitchens, including one with a six-burner Thermador dual fuel gas range and electric oven.

ALL beds are suitable for adults or children...no bunk beds, no trundles, no undersized beds, no cots. We also provide clean sheets and towels for your comfort.

Central A/C throughout! High-speed wireless internet. All modern baths. Beautiful beamed ceilings, wide pine floors, massive fireplace, quality furnishings.

This charming yet sophisticated private beach house overlooks Oyster Harbor on Nantucket Sound, the south-facing side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Enjoy the pedestrian walkway and bike path to nearby Hardings Beach or to the village of West Chatham, with shops, restaurants, ice cream,etc.. It is a beautiful, leisurely stroll to both! This path also connects to the Cape Cod National Seashore Rail Trail which covers the entire Cape! Since historic Chatham is ideally located at the 'elbow' of the Cape... midway between Falmouth and Provincetown... it is the perfect off-the-beaten-path hidden jewel for endless exploration of 70 mile long Cape Cod!

Harding's Beach on Nantucket Sound is a little under a mile away, and offers two spacious white sandy beaches with warm water swimming and terrific beach combing. National Geographic Traveler ranks Hardings as the safest and 'Top Cape Cod Beach For Families of All Ages'. It is ranked as one of the top 10 family beaches in the U.S.

Sun and relax on the deck and enjoy the picturesque harbor boating scene or stroll the many peaceful and scenic backroads of Chatham.

Deeded association path to water... Kayak from Oyster Harbor to town or isolated Nantucket Sound beaches... Moor your boat a stone's throw away... or rent... at one of two neighborhood marinas. Bring your bikes... or rent... safe biking to the beach or bike the Cape... this is bike path country! Fall in love with the view, the beach, the area, the ambiance.

Hardings Beach has received national recognition due to its expansive size (over a mile in length for those long beachwalks), its beautiful dunes; its white sandy beach, and the breath-taking walk to Stage Harbor lighthouse (incomparable!)

PLEASE NOTE: Property is located 8-20 minute drive from wedding venues in Chatham, Harwich, Brewster & Orleans, including Chatham Bars Inn (3.5 miles), Wequassett Resort (5 miles), Wychmere Harbor Beach Club (5 miles), Chatham Wayside Inn (2.5 miles), Ocean Edge Resort (10 miles), Captain Linnell House (10 miles), Old Sea Pines Inn (10 miles).

Perfect for family gathering

We had our large family come together from all across the south for a wedding in Chatham. Unfortunately for us it POURED the entire weekend, but luckily for us we were able to hang out at this amazing house all together. Perfect living room for coming together, having the fire on and enjoying company. There were plenty of bathrooms for everyone to get ready for the wedding in and everyone had their own space. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Chatham House

We had a wonderful yearly family trip! Fantastic location and a really fun house with a nice cottage feel. The only small issue we had with this property was the beds and hence the overall 4 star rating. Would have given a 4.5 if there was an option for it. Most of them were exceedingly firm mattresses and i'd recommend upgrading that or providing some toppers for the firm ones. Also, the pillows left quite a bit to be desired. I know we can bring our own, but dont expect to do that usually with a rental like this. Suggest a few different types thrown in for choices. Otherwise this is a great property and we enjoyed the layout and also really liked the deck.

Good for large group

Lots of conveniences in the house. Worked well for our family group of 11 adults. Lots of beds and bathrooms. No en-suite bathrooms. Enjoyed a good variety of tasty seafood nearby. Nice, relaxing beaches nearby. Easy (midweek) drive to Provincetown. Everyone in shops and restaurants in Chatham was helpful and accommodating.

Beautiful house and plenty of room for a large family

This house was simply perfect for our large family weekend with three generations. It had ample room, great sleeping arrangements, very clean and everything we needed. The deck was spectacular. We enjoyed sitting out in the sun enjoying coffee during the morning. The additional swing space allowed the kids and adults to each have their own hang out area and having two kitchens/two fridges was amazing. The photos don't do it justice. The location can't be beat with being close to downtown Chatham and Harwichport. Hardings beach was great too. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a large house with a great location.

Attending wedding

The property is very accommodating. We had everything we need it. We had a couple of seniors with mobility issues in our group so the downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were a necessity. The property was very clean. Too bad for us that we didn’t have enough time to enjoy it more since we were attending a wedding in the town

We recently stayed at this property and could not have been more pleased. The house was so clean and accommodated many guests which was amazing! Highly recommend as the location is perfect, just a few minutes from Hardings beach and close to town. Will definitely be staying here in the future if it is available.

No reservations about La Reserve

Our group was 10 adults, which was four couples and two singles. We all had lots of good options for sleeping arrangements and there were plenty of bathrooms and showers for a group of this size. In addition, there is a very large dining room table at which people plugged into work as necessary or did some gaming. The living area is large and comfortable and we all hung out there to relax and catch up. We ate most of our meals out, but the kitchen is very well stocked and really would be great if you were cooking in. Everyone enjoyed their stay, plenty of privacy balanced with outstanding common spaces, clean and convenient!

3-Generation Family Reunion

Everyone in our group loved the location and the house. We visited local and farther out beaches, strolled through town, used the kayaks on the river, and visited several museums/science centers. The age range for our group is 4 to 70+ and there was something for everyone. The house has a wonderful deck overlooking the Oyster River and lots of indoor space for dancing, theatrics, kids games.

Great Location - Spacious accommodations for large groups.

Great house for large groups/family gatherings. Has everything you need for from cooking supplies to board games. My only reservation would be having to set up all the beds/linens upon your arrival and before you leave, seems like this would be a service provided by the house given the amount a guest is paying to stay there.

Perfect for a family reunion

This is a beautiful home that is large enough to host a family reunion of 20 - 25 people. The back deck that overlooks the water, is a great place to hang out and the gas fireplace is awesome for chilly evenings. The kayaks were a big hit with the chidren. We hope to return again sometime.
