Picture perfect location
Our group of 6 (3 couples-all adults) recently stayed here for a weekend, when we came down to run the cape cod 5k in Fairhaven. It was a perfect location at the end of a quiet street. It was also close enough to walk to the beach and the start of the race. We had a lovely time and our host was very nice and let us in early and gave us a late check out. We will absolutely be back for our next visit in the area!

Lovely house, wonderful stay
The house is just adorable and very comfortable. I came up with my dogs to visit my daughter who attends UMass Dartmouth so she came over to help cook dinners and we took our dogs for many walks nearby. Will definitely stay there again!
