Description

Description

This comfortably furnished, much-loved family cottage is located on a secluded, wooded lot in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Built 55 years ago as the summer cottage of the late Robert M. McClung, naturalist, author and illustrator, it is within an easy 5 minute walk of Town Cove and the Nauset Marsh waterways. From there you can see the Atlantic Ocean and inland side of the Nauset Beach spit. At Snowshore Landing you can launch your kayak, canoe, or other small boat to explore the salt marshes or motor over to the spit at the end of Nauset Beach for the day. Your kids can have fun walking, netting, and beach combing along the fascinating shoreline or on the Cape Cod Bay at Skaket Beach. There are also quiet roads for bike-riding or the Cape Cod rail trail that you can pick up in the center of Orleans. There's a choice of restaurants and stores in this well located Cape Cod town.

In our yard, adjacent to the deck, you can play croquet or bocce ball, throw a frisbee, or relax in the hammock while listening to the distant ocean waves. There's an outdoor shower to rinse off sand after a swim in one of the many area beaches or freshwater ponds and a grill to cook up some surf and turf. Indoors there are games, puzzles, a small TV, WiFi access, books for all ages, including a number of them by Robert M. McClung and a simple ping pong table in the basement as well as a washer and dryer. There's also a wonderful old upright piano in the living area.

Downstairs there are two bedrooms, one with a king sized bed and one with a double bed and a full bath including tub and shower as well as the open living room, kitchen and dining area. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with a king sized bed, one with 3 twins, and a bath with stall shower. A beach umbrella, beach chairs, and other beach supplies are available in the basement.

We have a few last minute extra weeks available this year so are just now returning to this website after several years of successfully renting to returnees and friends who love the old Cape Cod feel to this cozy cottage.
Come and enjoy! read more show less

    A wonderful vacation getaway 4 years in a row!

    This is a perfect cottage to get away from our fast paced world and the technical interruptions of today's society. We have rented this adorable, spotless, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated cottage for the past four years. It is as if you are taken back to a simpler, less complicated time, where you can relax and not worry about crowds or anyone invading your peace and quiet. The home is set back on a private lot and it is surrounded by beautiful, mature plantings. You are able to hear the ocean at night, the setting is comforting and it is our favorite place to unwind every summer.

    This past July we had the best time, it seems to get better every year, as we spend more time at the town landing, which is a five minute walk from the cottage. At the landing we take off with our paddle boards and inflatable dingy to enjoy full days of seal watching, swimming and walks on the spit of beach that is between the bay and Outer Cape ocean. It is an amazing experience to be surrounded by so much scenic beauty. We highly recommend staying at the cottage and creating your own unforgettable summer fun family memories!     show more show less

    McClung cottage

    We have rented many houses over the years on the Cape for summer vacations and have never enjoyed any as much as we enjoyed the McClung cottage this summer !!! The photos do not do it justice. It is located down a long driveway tucked into the woods, which offers a lot of privacy. We did not bother anyone and no one bothered us!

    We loved the yard, hammock, gas grill and deck. We also appreciated the close proximity to Nauset Beach (and the drop off parking lot) and Skaket beach (great sunsets). We spent a lot of time biking and found Orleans a great place to get an ice cream afterwards. The cottage is well maintained and supplied. There is a ping pong table in the basement, comfortable couches and a fireplace. The knotty pine gives it a homey feel. Our only complaint was that we had to leave!!! We will be back next year. This cottage is a well kept secret ! show more show less

    Adorable, cozy "3 Bears" cottage! Close & convenient to Nauset beach & town, yet tucked back into its own little enclave amidst beautiful neighborhood. Stayed here in August with my husband and three boys, ages 12, 16 & 20 yrs old. The boys loved the backyard with hammock, ping pong in basement and coming home at night to the star -filled skies! The house was extremely clean, neat & organized and thoughtfully equipped with all. Especially loved the 2 big bedrooms upstairs w high ceilings and fans, the antique phone, piano & all the many wonderful books. Also loved having coffee on deck in a.m. House had wi-fi and everything was so well-kept! Would definitely stay here again! show more show less

    Emily and Bill McClung have managed this cottage for the past 10 years after taking over for Bill's parents, who were the original owners. They love vacationing here every year with their adult children and friends, always leaving sadly with more to do and see. This year they look forward to sharing it with two new step-granddaughters and a baby granddaughter. Friends and guest from near and far have stayed here. It's a real Cape Cod feel with many happy memories and good times!

    What is special about this property?
    The privacy, location on the Cape, simplicity and old time feeling. The many water options - ocean, bay, ponds, lakes, and cove. Once there, you need not see anyone else except the occasional beach comber. It's a little spot of heaven!

    What is special about your town?
    Easy access to all parts of the Cape, especially Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown as well as many ocean or bayside beaches and ponds. Stores and restaurants in Orleans.
