Waterfront Cottage on Private Lake with Dock

Nestled between oaks and pines along the East-facing shoreline of Big Sandy Pond, our welcoming little cottage beckons the vacation experience, a perfect spot to relax during the summer. Spend your days kayaking, sailing, fishing, or water skiing from your own private dock on the lake. Swim in the crystal clear lake at the beautiful white sand neighborhood beach a mere two-minute walk away.

The 134-acre lake is managed as a catchable trout pond and is annually stocked in the spring and fall with Brook, Brown, and Rainbow trout. Just 15 minutes from Cape Cod and historic Plymouth and only 45 minutes from Boston and Providence, a myriad of activities await you and your family.

Whether you enjoy water sports, or like to golf, shop, eat, or visit the many nearby historic sites and museums, everyone will find something special at Big Sandy Cottage.

Fully furnished cottage with two bedrooms, sleeping loft, and one bath. Sleeps four in the bedrooms, up to two small kids in the loft, and two additional adults on the living room sofa bed.

Large 10' x 30' deck overlooking the lake is perfect for an afternoon barbecue. Large private dock extends 28' into the lake with a 8' x 16' swim platform

Free Wireless Internet, TV, DVD (with movie library), stereo, provisioned kitchen, and all linens are included.

There is even a basement storage room with laundry facilities. Off street parking with room for boat trailer is available.

Cute Lake House

Lovely place to stay for a few days! Lots of games and jigsaw puzzles for older kids/adults. Many beautiful sunrises and sunsets viewed from deck. We had an issue with the water being black/iron smell, notified owners with quick response. Plenty of “extras” available throughout house so just had to buy food. Beds very comfortable! Close to historic Plymouth Center & Cape Cod. Small but quaint. All in all kids loved it.

Lovely getaway

My husband and I had a lovely autumn getaway. The cottage is really pretty and cozy situated directly on the lake. Views were beautiful and everything was clean and welcoming. There was even some champagne for us in the fridge. The owner was very responsive to any questions I had. We would stay here again.

Family getaway

Absolutely gorgeous cottage by the lake. It was perfect for our family of 6 that doesn’t want to rent 2 hotel rooms with a view of nothing special. Definitely felt like a family cottage rather than just a rental property.

Quite, serene & clean

Beautiful perch overlooking Big Sandy Pond. All the amenities necessary at hand including a well maintained gas grill. Was pleased to have an adequate and very quiet A/C system during one of the warmer weeks of the early summer season. Owner was quickly responsive to some initial day one questions. Dock at the waters edge in great shape. Only missing wished for extra, would have been a canoe or any means to float upon the pond. All in all a great overall cottage, setting & stay!

Great Getaway

Perfect sized cottage overlooking beautiful pond. Owner was very responsive to questions and easy to work with. We came on a rainy/cold 4 day weekend so didn’t get to enjoy anything but the view. The property is clean and updated. Would definitely recommend and return.

beautiful lake (pond) home

We stayed for a few days in September while the weather was still nice and warm, we enjoyed the view and while neighbors are close the location is quiet and peaceful. Check in / check out was easy and the owner communicated directly, responded to questions quickly and made sure we had everything we needed.

Great Lake house

This was a great lake house for our family to stay in. It seems much bigger than the description says it is. We had 4 adults and 2 kids under 10. All the trees around it made it feel very private. Back deck was perfect for lake views. It’s close to downtown Plymouth, Plymouth Patuext and whale watching. Fishing off the dock was super fun. The water is crystal clear and pretty warm, the kids swam all the time. House was fully stocked with all you'd need. Take advantage of the great weber gas grill while you are there.

Location

We love this cabin. It’s a perfect location for us. The Kayak, the float and the noodle got lots of use. Minor problems were the sliding screen door, the leak and the shade in the twin bedroom but they did not detract from our overall stay

Loved my month on the pond

It was love at first sight as soon as I opened the door. I could immediately feel the stress melt away. The cottage was perfect, charming, welcoming, comfortable. Communication with Jeff was good. Loved the morning sunrises and missing them already. It was the perfect month long stay for me. Thank you so much and I hope to go back!

Quiet, Serene Perfect Space with everything you need!

Being on Sandy Pond was amazing! Outside on back deck with sunshine on your face and at night, the stars, tree frogs, water…. It’s just perfect! The house has everything you need and it’s super cozy and very clean! Master bed is comfortable tempurpedic foam, lights, outdoor timed lights, all switches, appliances, nice to haves: bedside charger etc make it easy, intuitive and hassle free. It was cold but did 2 cold plunges in Sandy Pond (plunge = SUPER QUICK DIP 😂). The rental was precisely all I hoped for and would love to revisit in warmer months too. Jeff is friendly. clear, concise and super responsive! What more could you ask for?!! 5 stars ⭐️

What a view!!!

We had such a wonderful time at the lake. The facilities were more comfortable than I had expected. All rooms had air conditioning and each room had its own remote to control the temperature. The dock offered great fishing and a nice perch in order to monitor my children as they swam. Also, a nice place for a glass of wine. Kitchen very well supplied in terms of pots and pans and cutlery. I would return. Beautiful.

Another perfect stay on Big Sandy!

This is our 3rd stay renting this property and it never disappoints. The home is exactly as pictured and the large deck, dock, and views make the property amazing. Communication with the Lewis family was easy. Check in was simple. Neighbors are very kind and some even remembered us and our young son from last year. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a lake vacation spot. It is the perfect mix of quiet and peaceful but also extremely family friendly for fun beach days. We will definitely be looking to return next summer for our 4th year!
