What We Love Classic Cape Cod charm and a convenient location within walking distance to nearby natural landmarks are yours at this historic, 1840 home. Nestled on over an acre of land set away from the main road, the home offers an abundance of peace and solitude for your stay. The property backs up to 33 acres of conservation land that features walking trails around two ponds. A good walk down to the end of the road will bring you to Nauset Inlet where beautiful vistas are waiting to award your trek. Nauset and Skaket Beaches are also within easy reach of the home. Two gigantic shade trees provide a pleasant setting for outdoor gatherings, with yard games provided for added entertainment. The six-person dining table on the deck sets the stage for alfresco meals. When you're ready to explore a little, you'll find East Orleans eateries, downtown Orleans, and access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail all within a two-mile radius.
The inviting interior exudes a homey ambiance, with traditional decor and original features accenting the home's historic style. The massive full kitchen boasts a full suite of updated stainless steel appliances to help you handle family-style feasts with ease. A smart TV and board games are ready to welcome additional home entertainment in the living room.

Neat historic home in great location
Great location and really neat historic property. Spacious yard and nice extras like beach equip, provided linens and basic toiletries. Bathrooms are older 1960s vintage (if you like or don’t like that). Note that the upstairs three bedrooms (two twins and one queen) do not have any air conditioning - just fans. We got a cool week in the mid 70s so it wasn’t too bad for our 8 and 10 year old - but would have been tough if it was much hotter. Also - safety note that the steep stairs going to those upstairs rooms are original to the 1840 property and have a one foot rise and short (6 inch?) tread. Sort of like a ladder. That was tough for our kids and made me concerned if they got up in the night they might fall. If you have little kids I might bring a safety gate.

Nice Fall weekend
We had a nice and cozy weekend stay at Grey Gables. The house was well appointed, comfortable and clean. It was in a peaceful and pretty neighborhood with close access to the town and beaches of Orleans.
