About this property

Charming Cape Cod cottage on Depot Pond & bike trail with pond access

Our Cottage is conveniently located on Depot Pond (with pond access) and next to the Cape Cod Rail Bike Trail. Both the kitchen and bathroom are newly renovated. All windows have been replaced. There is a new Mini-Split heating/AC system installed for this season to add to your comfort. Our large deck overlooks the pond and is the perfect spot to relax and watch the sunset or enjoy coffee in the morning. There are 2 bedrooms with 3 beds (2 twin beds and one queen) to comfortably sleep 4 people. The cottage is fully furnished inside and includes a table and chairs on the deck. New in 2023 is a Weber Gemini gas grill. There is direct pond access to Depot Pond through the backyard. There is high-speed WiFi throughout the cottage. The location is close to beaches on Great Pond (freshwater), Cape Cod Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. There are many great restaurants within a few miles of the cottage.

The property our home sits on has been in our family for generations and was originally purchased in British pounds. Eastham is such a special place for our family and we love gathering in our home. We hope you can experience the charm & relaxation of Eastham which we so cherish.

A wonderful return visit
We were fortunate to stay in this clean, updated, and well-equipped home for a second summer in a row. It’s hard to beat the proximity to multiple ponds, the bike bath, and the National Seashore beaches. Perfect getaway for our family of 4!

A quiet home base
This clean and well-equipped cottage was perfect for me as a solo renter. It's close to all the things I enjoy and provided me a lovely home base. I'm a swimmer, so staying home on the deck and swimming regularly in the pond was idyllic.

Cape Escape
Just the right size for a couple. Very clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was a plus..nice views of Depot Pond from the ample deck. Best of all, it was only a few yards from the bike trail. There was also a good market right up the street. We really enjoyed being there.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy & Brooks Hurd

Host profile image
My wife and I have been coming to Cape Cod since we were first married. I first came to the Cape when I was less than 2 years old to meet my grandparents in their home on Bridge Road. My father grew up in the Bridge Road house and attended the one room school house which is now a museum near the entrance to the Cape Cod National Seashore.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is part of the original Nickerson farm which Hatsel Nickerson purchased in the late 1700's. This property was passed down in the Nickerson family to Edna Nickerson, the grandmother of the owner. The current cottage was built in 1960.

What makes this property unique

There are beautiful views of Depot Pond from the dining are, kitchen, back bedroom and the deck. The Cape Cod Rail Trail runs along the west property line. This paved trail runs 22 miles from Wellfleet to Dennis following the original right-of-way of the Cape Cod Railroad.

All the windows have been replaced by modern double pane windows. In October 2016, we updated the kitchen with all new cabinets, a large farmhouse sink, new counter tops and floors. In 2018, we completed renovated the bathroom with new walk-in shower, new sink and toilet, new tile floor and new walls and ceiling.
