The Boathouse Loft is a naturalist's & birder's dream, surrounded by natural beauty, a peaceful and relaxing oasis on the shores of one of Cape Cod's largest salt water lakes .....a beautiful waterfront sanctuary situated on its own private peninsula encompassed on 3 sides by water and 1 side by conservation land ....with spectacular sunrises & sunsets plus ocean access to Nantucket Sound. Yet, only minutes to great seafood restaurants, shopping, beaches and fun attractions.
Go kayaking every day with no boat rental fees. Waterfront is the difference between an ordinary and an extraordinary summer vacation. There is no sweeter place to kick off your flip flops.

The scenic approach to the Boat House Loft is by a private winding dirt road. At the very end of the road is a tiny enclave of homes including the Boat House and it's very private Cape Cod 'tree house' loft, perched on the second floor under pine trees.
Included with the Boat House Loft is a large outdoor space - your own private yard. Great for relaxing and grilling at the water's edge. The location is ideal for the kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding or sailing enthusiast ....you have direct access to the launch area.
UNIQUE ON CAPE COD. We offer the ultimate in on-the-water value for our guests. Included at no charge is our fleet of watercraft- take a book and a snack, and float where the wind & current takes you - relaxing & reading while the waves gently rock you back-and-forth. The "Future Beach Maui 124" stand up paddle board (pond use only), two "sit-in" kayaks and a canoe that survived a tornado hit! No boat rental fees! (Note: The Host may coordinate usage of the watercraft with the Guest, who has priority usage).
Naturalist's dream! Circumnavigate Swan Pond in any of the watercraft or use the kayaks and canoe to paddle down Swan Pond River to the ocean and beach. The boating is some of the best on Cape Cod - two miles downstream is Nantucket Sound, with a Town of Dennis public beach at the mouth of the river. It is warm water south-side beach kissed by the Gulf Stream. Exhilarating! What an excellent way to enjoy being on the water.
The centrally located Loft is exactly 30 minutes from the Sagamore Bridge.
~IMPORTANT ASTHMA & RESPIRATORY SENSITIVITY ADVISORY - The Boat House Loft is directly on the water and, like all waterfront properties, is subject to a beautiful morning fog & moisture laden pond winds. The Loft is NOT SUITABLE for those with asthma or any other humidity or moisture related respiratory allergies or sensitivities
~IMPORTANT PET ADVISORY - We are regretfully unable to accommodate potentially aggressive breeds like American Staffordshire Terriers, pit bulls or pit bull mixtures or ANY DOG that has shown past aggression to other animals or people.

What a fabulous vacation we had! I stayed at the Boathouse with my 4-year-old Weimaraner, Lola. When we drove up, Larry & King were there to greet us and give us a tour of the property. The property was immaculate and had everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful waterfront vacation complete with 2 kayaks, a Stand-up Paddle board, a canoe & a zodiac. The outdoor area had a fire pit that unfortunately we never used even though Larry cut up some firewood for us! The property is peaceful and the view of the water was so calming. I enjoyed the kayak & the SUP. The location at the end of a dirt road allowed Lola to be able to be off leash which she loved! I can not say enough how welcoming Larry & King were - it made our vacation so special! We will definitely be back for another visit - hopefully in the fall!

FABULOUS.... FABULOUS.... FABULOUS!!!!
Larry and King are great hosts and the property is perfect for a quiet getaway with plenty to do if you want! Between the location of the boat house (close to everything) kayaks, canoe, amazing view from the porch, beautiful sunrise's, all the amenities you need and again, the fabulous hosts, this was a perfect getaway for us! Thank you again Larry and King for making our getaway awesome, we will definitely be back!

"We had the best week!! Loved our location and the ability to kayak and paddle board literally right outside the front door. Awesome location. Central to everything but down an old dirt road so you felt like you were on a retreat. Can’t say enough about Larry. One of the nicest people we have ever met. Very accommodating and respectful. King was a wonderful added benefit. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

Relaxing place, secluded and quiet. It was great to have the kayaks, paddleboard, canoe and rowboat provided. We used them all! Our dog loved the rowboat the best. Although secluded it was nearby to anything we needed. Larry (our host) couldn't have been nicer. We loved King as well.
