Antique Garret Ensuite, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Located in the heart of Wellfleet, our 18th c. antique cape style home is one of the most photographed properties in town. Our home offers beautiful views of historic Duck Creeke, the tidal saltwater harbor inlet abundant with aquatic wildlife and shoreline bird species. It is perfect for kayaking.
Fewer than fifty steps to Uncle Tim's (walking) Bridge will set your journey across to Hamblin Island and all the way to Chipman’s Cove by footpath along the creeke at lowtide. Be sure to stop along the way to sign the Bench Book quietly waiting for the unsuspecting passerby inspired by the open salt air and visual beauty. You will love the soft, sinuous landscape as you explore the pastoral outdoors in a truly picturesque setting.
The Ship's Bell sets a nautical mood for you as it chimes from the bell tower much like it did onboard ships at sea since the early part of the 15th century. Our guests have found the experience both curious and soothing.
Wellfleet is known for its oysters, art galleries and critically acclaimed theater. Experience spectacular sunsets and a romantic beach fire on the bay. Walk to gourmet restaurants, fresh fish markets and village shopping. Yoga studios, massage therapists and acupuncturists are conveniently located right here in the neighborhood for both relaxing and rejuvenating your spirit and soul.
Our home is a short stroll to Mayo Beach, the Harbor and Main Street in Wellfleet Center where you can spend your time swimming, playing tennis, basketball or listening to free live music events at Baker’s Field Tent. Wellfleet is brimming with concerts at numerous venues throughout town all summer long. We boast an outstanding public library, host to poets, scholars, historians and classical musicians who offer us insight into their life’s work during the season long schedule.
Hop in the car for quick and easy access to Wellfleet’s unique kettle ponds, the Cape Cod Rail Trail, the Audubon Society and magnificent ocean beaches along the Cape Cod National Seashore occupying 61% of Wellfleet's total landmass.
Our antique garret located in the upper level of our home is impeccably maintained with all the charm of yesteryear, rustic yet comfortable and newly refurbished. Garret is a Fine Arts & Visual Arts / Architecture word for a living space on the top floor of a house, typically under a pitched roof. Our garret offers a "U" shaped, ensuite-style layout that is surprisingly spacious and separates the sleeping area from the kitchen. The Antique Oak Fainting Chaise Lounge Sofa is as pictured in the area of the bed and location of the TV. A fully independent living space the garret features high speed wireless internet, flat screenTV/DVD, stereo with CD player and a private entrance at the front of the house. A Fujitsu minisplit offers excellent air conditioning, dehumidifier and heat. There are 3 skylights for gorgeous light, airiness and listening to the live birdsong up in the trees. The front steps of our home spill out onto a Wetlands Conservation Area beaming with life!
