Perfect Spot for Small Family!

Robert’s cottage was perfect for my husband, my two year old daughter and myself. The location can’t be beat and we walked and/or biked into town, restaurants, the beach and the park multiple times during our stay. Thank you again!

Wellfleet Get away

I enjoyed my stay……comfortable and quiet. My only frustration was the WiFi…..I often had to stand next to the door adjoining the main property to get a WiFi signal…..a router in the Air B and B space would be very helpful. Otherwise, everything went seamlessly…..

Great Spot in Town

We really liked Robert’s place. Just big enough, the location was great for walking, cycling and driving and the kitchen was well equipped. The bed was comfy, the shower was excellent and there was some wonderful art on the wall. For us the only drawback was the couch which we tended to sink into and found difficult to extract ourselves from.

Perfect cottage and location

The cottage is immaculate, easy to navigate, beautiful, and quiet. A hummingbird visits the honeysuckle vine out the window. The location makes everything in Wellfleet easily accessible. The cottage offers a classic, comfortable, and relaxing vibe, and Robert is an attentive and helpful host. We loved it!

Magical cottage in Wellfleet

We had the loveliest time in Wellfleet. Our group included myself, my husband and almost two-year-old and it was perfect for us. The cottage was cozy, well-appointed and had everything we needed. It’s located on a quiet road and walking distance from town. We loved our stay here, thank you for the hospitality!

Cute, Quiet & Comfortable

We had our two VIP guests stay at the cottage for a family wedding event. The cottage was very comfortable and roomy with a cute, albeit, small back porch with a table and sitting area suitable for a couple. The hosts generously provided some milk and orange juice in the well equipped kitchen. The bedroom was accessible by an open-tread stairway to a comfortable queen bed. The headroom on the stairway was very low however, that required ducking so as not to hit your head. There was an unseasonal cold snap during the stay that required use of the heating system on the main floor to rise to the second floor bedroom. Aside from these two unexpected features, the cottage made for very nice accommodations that rated a "9" out of "10". Would certainly recommend this cottage to others.

A lovely spot in Wellfleet

Sweet Cottage on the Cape

My husband and I stayed at this lovely, well-appointed cottage over our honeymoon. It was just perfect for two, and we had a wonderful time. The property is a short walk from the town center, but located on a quiet lane- you have a sense of complete privacy and peace though you are steps away from a bustling beach town. The owners are friendly and accommodating (happy to answer any questions), and very unobtrusive. Beaches (either bay or Atlantic) are an easy bike ride away. Whether you'd like to spend your time cooking romantic dinners for two and reading in the blissful calm at home, or if you'd prefer to explore restaurants, bars, and other attractions in Wellfleet, this cottage allows you the best of both worlds. Sorry to leave!

Perfect space!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this quaint and comfortable cottage. Though attached to the main house, it's still totally quiet and private. The location is super close to town (and the fab Flying Fish Restaurant!), the layout is optimal, decor is cozy/artsy with great style and full roomy kitchen is a bonus. Robert is a perfect host with lots of great recommendations for the best restaurants on the cape, thanks Robert!!

Lovely, peaceful spot to relax

A peaceful, quiet get-away. Host Robert is friendly, looking to help you with whatever you need, but is in no way intrusive. Property is great and the restaurants in town are lovely. My wife and daughters and I had a most relaxing week. Outer Cape bliss: many beautiful town beaches, perfect weather, fresh fish at Hatch's to cook on the barbecue. Wellfleet is perfectly located on the Cape and this property is the ideal place to explore it. Highly recommended: we would return in a heartbeat.

Rustic Charm

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a perfect 5 night getaway at this sweet, quiet cottage in Wellfleet. It was a simple, artistic, and romantic space, centrally located with easy access to beaches and ponds and a short walk to town. We would go back in a second!

Classic summer cottage hide away

This charming cottage offers that comfortable, classic summer cottage feel. The place was clean and well equipped for a summer stay. While tucked away on a quiet, sandy lane, the house is located just a short walk to town (Wellfleet). It was a treat to be so conveniently located to Main Street art galleries, restaurants, grocery store, historical society, farmers market, fish market, etc. Robert was most gracious and helpful with suggestions for local highlights not to miss. You will enjoy your stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Shreefter

Host profile image
My wife and I are long-time residents of Wellfleet.
We are both university faculty.
I am also an artist and enjoy being surrounded by the beauty of the outer Cape-- and by artists and galleries.
We just bought this house 5 years ago. For many years, we rented our previous Wellfleet home to visitors.
This past summer, we opened our own gallery--Off Main Gallery--at 326 Main Street, rear. This is behind the Chocolate Sparrow and Nice Cream Shop. We show the work of many local artists.

Why they chose this property

This property is in town and doesn't require crossing Route 6 to get to town, to ocean and bay beaches and ponds. Also, the center of town is a 5-minute walk from our quiet lane.
We are off Briar Lane, and the house is secluded.
The view out the bedroom window is breathtaking. There is a meadow and a wet land beyond that. You can watch the sun set from the window.
There is a very private patio out the back door of the living room.
Simple but beautiful furnishings and original artwork.

What makes this property unique

This is an ideal place for a writer, and artist that needs a quiet and secluded place. Ideal for a couple--and has a queen-size bed upstairs and futon for child/children, downstairs
