Dog-friendly forest cottage with firepit & great deck, walk to bay beaches

The Woodland Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tucked into the woods of Eastham on the tranquil bay side of town, this light-filled cottage makes a wonderful home base for a summer on Cape Cod. You'll be a half-mile stroll or bike ride from Thumpertown Beach on Cape Cod Bay, with an expansive, tree-lined deck waiting to welcome you home each afternoon.

This single-story cottage enjoys a scenic and convenient location on the north side of Eastham. Within a mile are both the Cape Cod Rail Trail and several great restaurants on Route 6. In addition to being less than a mile from Thumpertown Beach, Kingsbury Beach, and Campground Beach on the bay, you'll be only three miles from Coast Guard Beach and Nauset Light Beach along Cape Cod National Seashore.

Come home from a day of swimming, golfing, or riding bikes to rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower on the deck. Light the gas grill for a family barbecue, gather around the shaded patio table for dinner, and linger outside into the evening as you roast marshmallows around the firepit.

With large windows at every turn, the single-story interior is bright and inviting. Enjoy a sunny front parlor, a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a combination dining-family room with a TV for after-dinner movies. Please note that there is no washer/dryer here, but high-speed WiFi and a portable air conditioner are provided for your comfort and convenience.

Rustic retreat

My husband and I spent 5 days last week at The Woodland Cottage. We have camped for years and were very grateful to stay indoors. The cottage had a king-sized bed that was very comfortable, great shower and the kitchen was equipped with almost everything we needed (had to buy a can opener). One unexpected perk that I didn't see mentioned on the description was having linens and towels provided. The home is on the older side and in need of updating, but overall, it was comfortable and safe for a getaway to my favorite place!

Cozy charmer on the bay

Love the outdoor space, both day and night! The large deck, fire pit, and outdoor shower create the perfect oasis! I want to take all of my showers in the outdoor shower on the deck and end each of my days watching the embers in the fire pit. And it's all a short bike ride or walk to beautiful bayside Thumpertown Beach! The cottage itself is cozy but has great spaces to chill, whether you're reading a book, watching a movie, or playing games with the family. The kitchen is well stocked perfect complimented with the grill on the deck. I can't wait to come back!

Nice little getaway

My family and I went for a quick couple night getaway and found this place for a reasonable price. Cute home, fully stocked. To my surprise it had sheets and towels available which you don’t usually get when you rent. ( I had packed my own ) It was very clean which I appreciate. I would stay again and recommend to anyone. Thank you.

Cottage in the woods

Decent location. Ok place to rest your head at night. House is definitely in need of some TLC. Plenty of space inside, small kitchen, all utensils were nice to have. Bedding was nice to have too. Ashtrays full of used matches all over the back deck, front door sits two inches above ground allowing anything small with legs to come on in. Sticky notes everywhere telling what the switches were for (not aesthetically pleasing). Cost was good, value mediocre. Vacasa was good with communications.

Great location and on-point price (mid-June rate)

The setting of the cottage was reminiscient of my grandmother's place from my youth (bonus points for nostalgia) and the proximity to Thumpertown beach was ideal. I loved walking our dog down the quiet private lane every morning. The house is quaint and met our needs nicely for a few days. We thoroughly enjoyed the large deck (my daughter and I did yoga there very morning & we ate all our meals there) and LOVED the outdoor shower! The kitchen had the basics plus a well stocked pantry for a vacation home (spices, sugar, flour). With that said, it was a bit too cozy for our family of 5 to stay any longer comfortably (2 adults, 19 year old, 17 year old, and 11 year old) due to the teensy bedrooms and single bath but was fine for a few days. There are a couple of quirks to know about: electric is a bit dated with no ceiling lights (just lamps but not all connected to wall switches) & not all outlets worked; coffee table was super wobbly (nothing heavier than a book or coffee cup, maybe); a couple of windows were a bit tricky to open and close; and VERY snug in the bedrooms--although there were small dressers, there wasn't really anywhere to hang clothes (a couple of hooks, one of which needs to be rehung more securely) and storage in the bedroom was lacking overall. We just put our bags in the main room and got clothes from there as needed. We did not run the AC and were comfortable with open windows and fans--house was pretty stuffy when we first arrived at 5:30 but cooled by bedtime. The grass in the yard was pretty long but that seems to be more common on the Cape in general as I saw other properties with long grass. There is some poison ivy near the firepit that should be taken care of but it was a great spot to roast s'mores and enjoy a campfire. It was wonderful to have our sweet Jack Russell terrier with us for this trip--thank you for accommodating dogs! We were 1/2 hour from all of the places we were interested in checking out on our visit so the location really can't be beat. It was our first trip to the Cape and I know we'll be back! Overall, I would recommend this as a place to stay for smaller families.
