Cape Cod Cottage, Short Walk to Wequaquet Lake Private Beach and Cranberry Bogs
Welcome to Cranberry Hollow Cottage, A three bedroom, two bath cottage on an acre of land just steps from our private neighborhood beach on the east-side of Wequaquet Lake cove that gives you sun all day and photo-worthy, spectacular sunsets.
This recently updated 1100 sq ft family cottage in Centerville, MA gives you a taste of everything that we love about Cape Cod. It was originally built in the 1940s and has a newly renovated kitchen, bathrooms, mudroom, updated bedrooms and living areas and a large Weber gas grill and dining area outside the back door. We recently fenced in the back yard with wire fencing and two cedar wood two-door swinging gates.
The house is in a neighborhood known for walkers, friendly faces walking dogs, pushing baby carriages or simply exercising in the fresh air.
In addition to a deeded rights to a neighborhood private beach, a unique feature we offer with this house is access to a walking trail around cranberry bogs. Follow the short woodland trail out the back of the property to a cranberry bog with a dirt road that takes you around two functional bogs full of growing cranberries.
Then grab your beach towels and walk down the street for a quick dip in a lake or spend the day on the beaches along a pretty little cove via our deeded beach rights. No need to pack a car, just a short walk from the front door. (We love to spend mornings at the ocean and finish the day on the lake, the best of both worlds are nearby!)
Have a boat on a trailer? Cranberry Hollow is less than a mile from the public boat landing on Wequaquet Lake. Wequaquet is known for almost year-round bass fishing, and in the warm weather, sailboats and power boats share the lake. Jet skis are not permitted to be launched from the public landing unless they are kept by lakefront owners.
This property is located halfway between North Side and South Side Cape Cod public ocean beaches. The famous "Southside" beach on Nantucket Sound, Craigville Beach, is less than 15 minutes away and the beautiful "Northside" Sandy Neck beach on Sandy Neck Conservation area is 20 minutes away. Hop on the MidCape Highway and you are one hour from the stunning beaches at the Cape Cod National Seashore.
There are movie theaters and mini-golf and ice creams shops and harbor tours and whale watches all within driving distance. We are right in the MIDDLE of Cape Cod and ready to host your best vacation, ever!
Its just two miles to major grocery stores, and another mile to the Cape Cod Mall, Target etc. We are 10 minutes from bars and restaurants of Main Street, Hyannis and the commercial fishing and ferry docks in Hyannis.
We will take bookings year-round our first year. Consider the fall when our whole area fills with colors, cranberries are harvested in mid to late October and as we approach fall the bog begins to display the colors of the red berries.
Amenities:
In addition to our two bathrooms with showers, we have an outdoor shower with hot and cold water. We have one bedroom with a king size bed, one with a queen size bed, and one with two twins, one twin is XL. We believe in extra pillows! Each room has plenty of extra pillows. Each bedroom has an extra set of sheets. We provide a Keurig coffee maker, toaster, microwave, brand new stove with oven that has convection and air fryer options. We provide paper, plastic and Fiestaware dinnerware. We provide pots and pans and baking pans and sheets. There is a full washer and dryer with a folding station and laundry baskets for each room. We have air conditioners in each bedroom and larger capacity in the kitchen dining area, and the living room for warm weather, or simply open the windows and let the breezes in. We have a powerful wi-fi modem -up to1000 Mbps to stream whatever devices you bring. The living room includes a 60 inch TV with Xumo Xfinity streaming box to stream via your favorite apps. We do not use cable as cable services here have been problematic, but you can use your own cable streaming app via the Xumo box. You can even use your own Roku stick. For excellent outdoor cooking and dining, we provide a provide a grill and outdoor table and chairs. And we will also provide beach towels and 4 beach chairs to use at the beaches.
Be sure to have your Merlin app ready to identify the many varieties of birds that come to the feeder, and live in the woods and swamp. Listen in the evening and into the night to the low baritone of the bullfrogs in the marsh across the street and the occasional hoot of an owl in the trees.
We love it here and live about 5 miles away, so if there are any issues we can help at any time.

Long Weekend getaway with our dogs
Was on Cape for the weekend for dog event and needed a place that was dog friendly and comfortable for the humans and we found it in this quant cottage. Cozy and clean with older charm with modern amenities. Quiet neighborhood with a nice yard and a cranberry bog in back offered a nice walk with the dogs. Disappointed that we did not have time to get down to the lake during our short stay.
Communication with host was very good. They were always available via text if needed. They also were very accommodating to our requests.
Certainly, would not hesitate to stay again for a longer duration and get to enjoy more of the area.

Had a great stay
Everything about this place was perfect, from location to the hosts. Janet and jp went above and beyond and we cant thank them enough. They have literally thought of everything in this house! They have done a great job with renovations and it was neat to see the before pictures. Walking around the cranberry bog was very nice, it would be cool to see it during the harvest! The location is perfect. You have the best of both worlds, a beautiful lake steps away and the ocean and tons of things to do minutes away. We are so grateful that we were able to have our dogs with us and have one last family vacation with one of them. We hated to leave and cant wait to come back!
