About this property

Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and breakfast overlooking the lake.

This charming cabin sits on the Long Pond shore front. It is one of a cluster of four cabins (the original tiny houses!), each rented separately. We have worked hard to preserve the unique, 1930's fish camp character. If you are looking to commune with nature, seek a simple respite from modern life or just want to enjoy Long Pond, this space is for you.

This cabin (we call it Dick's after our grandfather) has a shorefront room with queen bedroom on one side and kitchenette on the other. The living room has a sitting area with couch, chairs and a dining area. There is a fireplace with a gas insert. The bathroom (with lake view) has an old fashioned claw foot tub that is fitted with a hand shower. You can sit in the bath and look out onto the pond! There is a screened porch with cafe table and chairs and amazing water views. The kitchenette has sink, microwave, small fridge, toaster oven, induction cook top and plenty of dishes and cookware. Guests have access to a grill and picnic table outside.

Dick's Cabin is near it's neighbors, but carefully arranged to give a sense of privacy. The waterfront with small dock sits just next to this cabin. Although the waterfront is shared between the four cabins, it is rarely used by anyone except the residents of this cabin. If you have a larger group, it is possible to rent cabins together for an old-fashioned fish camp experience.

We're at the end of a private, sandy road and located next to Pinewoods Camp. When the camp is in session from mid June through Labor Day you can hear their music until 11:00 PM each night. In early June and September, the pond is wonderfully quiet. You can enjoy the area's wildlife, swim in the clear waters, hike miles of nature trails or use it as a jump-off point to explore the Cape and Boston.

Cozy place, perfect for two.
Lovely views and great access to the lake which is steps from the cabins front door. Perfect if you like to come back from a day of whale watching and just chill with some great take out and talk about your favorite part of the day. Thanks, Susan.

Perfect Escape
We enjoyed every bit of our stay. Being right on the water was so picturesque. Despite cooler weather during our stay, I enjoyed the refreshing lake each day. The water is incredibly clear and crisp. The cabin had everything two people need for a short getaway. We loved hearing about the family history with this spot, too!

Don't know your definition of heaven but this is pretty much mine.
Best bits of Girl Scout Camp but w grown-up comforts...does that make sense? Fresh water pond directly outside the door, birds singing, a dock to read books on, canoe, 4-star dinner music from the dance camp next door, comfortable bed, didn't use the electric fireplace but it looks great, worthy kitchenette & kind owners nearby to explain the wifi. We'll be back any chance we get.

My husband loved the stay!
I gifted my husband a solo retreat in the woods by the lake for his birthday! He has been talking about needing to get away in the woods by himself to recharge after teaching a rigorous academic year. He came home happy and grateful! Thank you for hosting my husband and allowing him some peace and solace!

Great view but that's it
The floors are slanted which triggered my vertigo. The linens on the bed smelled like they hadn't been washed in months. The bed was yellow stained. We found several carpenter ants and one night we had a critter scratching under the bed, assumed it was a mouse. The couch cushions were filthy and difficult to sleep on, since I couldn't sleep in the bedroom due to my vertigo in the room. The cabin is a potential health hazard due to the possible black mold on the walls. We cut our trip short by 2 days due to the awful conditions and went to Boston, only to find the Marriot was cheaper to stay than the nasty cabin. Wish we would have left sooner but we couldn't get our money back, so we toughed it out for 3 nights. Don't recommend staying here.

Dicks Cabin-A Slice Of Heaven!
This cabin is a slice of Heaven on earth! So incredibly peaceful and beautiful! It’s quietly nestled in the trees-every morning we sipped coffee while looking out over Long Pond! We were in MA from ME to attend the Levitate Music Festival in Marshfield. We were able to canoe in the mornings and enjoy nature then attend the festival in the afternoons. We had SUCH a great time, we plan to stay over a week next year! I highly recommend this space!!!

Very peaceful and pretty
The cabin is just as nice as the pictures, and my husband and I enjoyed taking the canoe out on the pond. I would suggest not bringing a new car, or a car that rides low to the ground. The dirt road is a little bumpy and also parts of it are only wide enough for one vehicle. So if you meet another vehicle, just know that one of you needs to be able to back up for a distance. We found it added to the adventure. Also, best to arrive in daylight initially and unless you enjoy a challenge, in which case be sure to bring a flashlight. Thank you, Conan family, for sharing your cabin with us.

Cute rustic
The cottage was cute and very rustic. It was ok for what we needed during this trip. Improved heat source would have been helpful. Only 1 space heater. Fee was a bit high for the size and lack of “features”. My husband couldn’t stand in the shower at 6’1”.

A lovely nature retreat near Cape Cod
We had a wonderful time. The cabin was a true retreat-- a lovely space with a fireplace, comfortable bed, lots of natural light, and nice kitchen. It sits in the midst of a beautiful and secluded wood on a quiet little lake. We found some excellent hiking nearby, explored beaches up and down the cape, and did whale watching from nearby Plymouth. The folk music from Pinehills camp was heard 8-11 each night, which was enjoyable to us, though it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Old-School Getaway in New England
If you like quiet, secluded and rustic places that are still close enough to services this is a great choice! My partner and I had a beautiful time here, enjoying the clear water in the 'pond', the wildlife...foxes, opsrey, loons, deer, eagles...the area trails for mountain biking, hiking, and the canoeing. It's nearby several really good seafood shacks and markets around Plymouth. It's close enough for side trips to the beaches as well. We have been to Provincetown before but found this area just as fun, beautiful and relaxing. We threw in a trip to New Bedford's Whaling Museum which was great. It's close enough to Boston making this an easy trip from Logan, except that I wouldn't leave Boston heading toward the Cape again on a Friday afternoon. Lesson learned.Thanks!!

Serene cabin in the woods
I spent 7 days in this lovely rustic cabin on the shores of a beautiful, clear lake listening to bird song morning and evening with small fires in the evening to chase the chill. The cabin is exactly as described in a very wooded area of rural Ma. As a woman of advanced age, I felt totally safe. The owners provided great instructions and guidance to the property and follow-up. Thank you for a lovely week.

Cozy cabin, quiet area
The cabin was clean, the owners were welcoming. David gave us directions for a nice bike ride and we enjoyed the canoe and lake. The only thing is, our dock was taken away after the second day, as the season was coming to an end.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Conant

Host profile image
We are a family of five siblings, one mom and six grandchildren. Many of us live in the Boston area and spend our summer weekends on the property.

Why they chose this property

The property was given to our grandparents by their good friend, Helen Storrow, in the 1940's and has been passed through three generations. This property is a part of our bones. It is both a struggle and a labor of love to maintain the historic, rustic character of our structures. We all grew up here and know every root, tree, bug and plant. There are home movies of three generations of babies playing on our beach. We all know the stories -- like how our dad knocked a pillar down while learning to drive.

What makes this property unique

There are rare places in our modern world where time stands still. This is one. We have let a few tinges of modernity filter through -- we do provide basic internet, electricity and hot water. It is a place to turn off the digital world and experience the simple life -- nature, swimming in a clean natural lake, hiking beautiful trails, sitting on the porch, taking in the view, quiet nights, stars, rain pattering on the roof .......
