About this property

Enjoy any season at our peaceful lake home!

Lake views are spectacular from the many windows of our cozy cottage on a quiet wooded street on the shores of Santuit Pond in Mashpee, Cape Cod. Enjoy tree-framed views of the lake from almost every room. Our convenient location offers access to many parts of the Cape, including the Cape Cod National Seashore. Shopping, movies, and a fabulous ocean beach are nearby.
The main entry brings you to the den, open kitchen, dining and living rooms, with a half bath on this level. A large deck on the lake side includes a gas grill and outdoor eating area with terrific views. 2 bedrooms--queen and twin/king--and a full bath are one level up, and a queen bedroom and a full bath are one level down. On the ground level you can walk out to a quiet office, or down steps to the lake. A total of 3 indoor living areas, plus a few outdoor areas, allow room for the family to engage in various activities. Have fun with games, puzzles, and the Foosball table, and enjoy our extensive collection of DVDs and large selection of books. With 3 bedrooms plus pullouts we host a maximum of 9 guests.
No smoking indoors, and please remove all traces of smoking outdoors. No pets, please. Minimum contract age 25.
Amenities: Fully equipped, updated kitchen with everything you'd expect to find, including lobster pots, blender, and more.
All linens are provided for bed, bath, and beach. Cable TV with VCR and DVD players, and a huge selection of movies. Stereo, CD, high-speed wireless internet, indoor and outdoor eating areas, books and games, phones, office, washer/dryer, central AC, LR gas fireplace for chilly times, gas barbecue.
Activities: Boating, fishing, biking, golf, movies, fitness center, shopping, ocean beach.
Area: Mashpee is midway between Falmouth and Hyannis, not far from Sandwich, on the Upper Cape. An hour's drive takes you to Provincetown, an hour and a half to Boston or Providence. Almost any activity you might wish for your holiday is within easy access. A favorite morning activity is sitting on the deck to enjoy the amazing sunrise over the lake while sipping your morning coffee.
When we remodeled the kitchen we thought about the extended families (including our own) who enjoy staying and cooking at Tree House. The island with vegetable prep sink and stools for chatting with the cook, stainless appliances, large dining tables both indoors and out--all make it easy to center your social life around meals. The den, living room, and family room in different parts of the house also work well for various family arrangements, so you can chat, play games, watch different movies at the same time. Of course there are plenty of places to eat out or watch the latest movies on the big screen if that fits your wishes. And you'll find numerous places to take walks, enjoy the beach, go to the islands for the day, browse for antiques.
Our guests enjoy sitting, fishing, swimming, and boating from the dock. Like many fresh-water ponds on the Cape, and in the northeast overall, sometimes ours has some algae, and on those occasions, you might choose to swim elsewhere. The views are always amazing. Bring or rent a kayak, paddle board, or canoe to enjoy the pond from many angles.

Perfect summer lakeside home

Great property with a gorgeous deck and steps right down to the lakeside dock. Main floor and 2nd floor have great rooms and layout. Only criticism is the strong mustiness of the lower level bedrooms.

Beautiful place but a few things to know

This is a beautiful property, but it is important to know that Santuit Pond is usually not swimable due to algea. Still- we brough Kayaks and enjoyed that. The place was very clean- but the owners need to do something to mitigate a musty smell that some of us thought might be animal related- articularly in the finished basement.

Peaceful getaway

The good: We enjoyed our stay. Outdoor spaces were peaceful and quiet. Detached office was a nice place to work. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Upstairs bedrooms and bath were comfortable. Spacious dining and living areas for our large group to spread out. The books were a big hit with the fantasy fans of our group. The not-so-good: Downstairs bedroom only had one twin bed (two are shown in listing photo). Downstairs shower leaks.

Santuit lake house

Beautiful property overall. Plenty of space inside and it was nice relaxing on the deck overlooking the pond. Had everything we needed for grilling and dining. Access to an use of the dock made for a great weekend fishing the pond.

Beautiful spot!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house and spot on the pond were beautiful. We rented kayaks and paddle boards and had them delivered to use on the pond which worked perfectly. The house worked great for our family.

Nice Cape Getaway

The house was great. Plenty of room. The kitchen really did have everything anyone could need, so we did not have to bring much. The view is amazing and the neighborhood is great for walks. The communication with the owner was flawless, she was very responsive. The one draw back was that the lake was closed for swimming, which is what we really looked forward to. But beaches are plenty at the Cape, so we adjusted our plans accordingly.

Mold

The view and setting were lovely. Living space on the main floor was clean and very nice. Well stocked kitchen, large table for meals, plenty of space to spread out. Problem was the musty odor. The entrance hall and second floor were tolerable once we closed the house up and ran the ac, lower level rooms were really bad. Visible mold on the lower bathroom door frame. Small back bedroom was particularly bad. Three quests had reactions to the mold. Queen Mattress in the lower bedroom needs replacing. Twin mattresses in the second level bedroom were also bad. No hand soap supplied for the lower bathroom. We enjoyed the deck and launched our kayak from the dock for a nice paddle around the pond. A mixed experience stay.

Amazing getaway!

This home is truly even better than the pictures. Upon arrival, walking out to the back to see the view of the pond is truly stunning. The deck is large and can accommodate a large group for lounging or dining. The house was a perfect size for our group of 9, and was very comfortable for our stay. Fully stocked kitchen, plus great communication prior to arrival with all the information we would need during our stay. Thank you for making our weekend memorable at your home!

Main floor great for large family gathering

The main floor was beautiful, easily accommodating a large group. The deck was large with great view of lake and nice gas barbeque. The bedrooms upstairs were comfortable and clean. However, there was a strong musty smell in the 2 basement bedrooms making it difficult to sleep in them.

Delightful stay!

Treehouse fit us almost perfectly: size, number of rooms, layout, well-stocked, of course the deck and beautiful, peaceful pond, and location on Cape Cod which we loved. The only downside was the mustiness of the downstairs bedrooms which would keep some in the family from wanting a return trip, and the mattresses were a bit uncomfortable for some. Overall, .lovely and memorable and much appreciated.

I wish we could have stayed longer. As soon as you pull up to this home, you feel relaxed. When entering the door, you can immediately see out to the deck and water. It was peaceful and comfortable. We enjoyed our too short stay. Pictures very accurate.

Great Cape Getaway!

Kathy was super helpful and responsive to all our questions. Her home is lovely and true to the description. We had two families so one family was able to take the downstairs with the two bedrooms and futon and the other family took the upstairs two bedrooms. The home was very welcoming and the private dock was perfect for fishing and kayaking. There were lots of quiet back roads to walk and run on as well and the location was perfect for all of our adventures.

roomy with a view

lovely property with a view of the pond. We rented a kayak and paddleboard for three days which really made it perfect. The separate office was pretty musty, so unfortunately, my son and his wife could not work from there. The property had plenty enough space that they could get their work done, sometimes on the back deck which is large and pleasant to hang out on. Central air and a wall dehumidifier definitely helped this warm week in july. Kitchen is modern with a large table for family dinners. Basement boasts a fooseball table and washer dryer, in addition to two bedrooms and bathroom.

Fantastic place for family to gather

Loved the space and location....truly the kind of place a group can gather and have multiple spots to hang out and talk or read or take in the beautiful view. The house was very clean and well organized. I have to take a star off for the mattresses. They are uncomfortable and ready for replacement or refurbishment with mattress toppers.

Fantastic Girls Getaway!

I rented this house for a surprise Girls Getaway. My friends couldn't get over what an unbelievably beautiful place I had found for our weekend. It was so peaceful and quiet; spacious and comfortable. When Kathy said the house was stocked, she wasn't kidding. We found everything we needed. It was amazing. We especially loved the open kitchen and den area. Though it poured on Saturday, it didn't stop us from zip lining at Adventure Park, which was close by. The house is located close to many different things - shopping, movies, restaurants; but we loved the house so much that we decided we wanted to just enjoy it. There was plenty of room. Everything was clearly labeled. The package Kathy sent was so informative that I didn't have any additional questions to ask her. The sunrise Sunday was beautiful. It stopped raining and we were able to sit on the dock for hours watching the swans and fishermen and just relaxing...which was exactly what everyone needed. I would most definitely recommend this home to anyone who wants the best of both worlds.....getting out and doing new things or lounging around relaxing and taking in the beautiful home and location. Kathy, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We would definitely do this again.

Wonderful home right on the pond!

The "Treehouse" was exactly was described and better. All amenities were available and we truly enjoyed our stay there. We were able to take advantage of the pond and did some fishing right off the dock. Great memories for the kids and for us too! The beds were comfortable, plenty of everything we need and great instructions (loved the labels!) We would recommend to anyone1

Although we live in Illinois, we treasure the time we spend on the pond with extended family.

Why they chose this property

Our family has spent summers on Santuit Pond since the 1960's, and we are happy to share our home in a beautiful, quiet part of the Cape.

What makes this property unique

Mashpee is a convenient central location on the Cape, and Tree House is a wonderful place to spend time with friends and family. The home's multiple gathering areas, indoors and outdoors, give visitors many opportunities to spend time together or on your own.
