What a wonderful house! We loved the hot tub and large windows allowing us to enjoy the surrounding trees and birds when we weren’t out exploring. The host provided everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable weekend getaway. We’d stay here again!

Great House; Great Stay

Intriguing passive solar house located conveniently off Rt 6 in Truro, we felt comfortable, relaxed, and easily accessible to Ptown and Orleans. The description is accurate, and the fees are within reason. We had privacy and a comfortable bed, which is not always true in a short term rental. Our older dog didn't care for the stairs, but we were able to get him from first floor level (hot tub!) to the 2nd floor main level using outside doors. The fireplace was great. We didn't want to leave!

Worked perfectly for our family

The house is amazing. The listing photos really don't do it justice. The hot tub and the outside shower were great. Such a relaxing feel. Totally reminded me of the house my great aunt and uncle built. It was great that we could bring our dog with us, especially since she it elderly. I was worried at first tht she would fll down the stairs or off the ledge since she is blind. But it worked out there is a small lower section that she enjoyed layin on her bed. My 7 and 11 boys loved it. Probably not the best house for a toddler with all the levels and open stairs. Had a great visit!

Great funky house. Lots of light and windows that pulls the outside in. Wonderful spaces in the house to curl up and read. Outdoor shower was great for apres beach. The house itself was a little dusty and could use a deep clean… but other than that it was great.

We loved out experience at the High Kettle House. The house is ideally located in Truro - close to beaches and the town center, yet in a forest on a quiet street. The kitchen is fully equipped. The hot tub is a rare bonus too. We will certainly come again and again

We loved our house! It's a big, bright space with a very well-equipped kitchen and great outside spaces among the trees. Also, it's a perfect location - in a very quiet neighborhood, close to bayside and oceanside beaches and a short drive to P-Town and Wellfleet. We're going back next year!

Great home and great location!

The house is great, with a really interesting warm cosy feel. Fully stocked kitchen with every utensil ever made by man! Comfy beds and couch! Only thing that could have been better was the dust under the floor that needed to be cleaned as my husband has allergies and they acted up a bit. A bit of an insect haven as well but hey its the cape, with humidity comes insects! We loved it!

Once again we had a wonderful stay at the High Kettle House. We just absolutely love it here- sitting on the deck reading, taking walks in the beautiful old nearby cemetery- and of course the delicious restaurants in Ptown and Black Fish right around the corner from the house. We highly recommend this magical place!
