About the property

“Little House in the Woods” is named for its peaceful, private setting among the trees in Cotuit, a charming village in the town of Barnstable. Tucked away down a long gravel driveway, the home feels like a true retreat—quiet, green, and full of Cape Cod charm.

While you will be secluded from the hustle and bustle, you are just a short drive, bike, or even walk away from beaches, the village center ,and more...

The Space

This A-frame style home is cozy, laid-back, and loaded with character. A wall of windows brings the outdoors in, and the open-concept main room is perfect for relaxing, playing games, or enjoying meals together. Outside, a large yard offers space to grill, dine, and unwind under the trees. Inside, each bedroom has been thoughtfully refreshed with comfort and simplicity in mind.

Please note: There are stairs to a lofted area (and the king bed bedroom) with railings, and the staircase is steep—see our safety notes for more information.

DISCLOSURES - SAFETY AND MORE PLEASE READ:

Stairs and Balcony Safety Disclosure*

Please note the following important safety and accessibility considerations for this property:
The stairs leading to the second floor (primary bedroom and one of the two full baths) and loft are relatively steep, though they do have a hand railing.

There is an open balcony area with a railing. However, children could slip through the railing relatively easily.
These features may present challenges or safety risks for individuals with mobility limitations, young children, or anyone who may be impaired or unsteady (e.g., due to intoxication, fatigue, etc.).

The laundry area is located in the basement, which also requires navigating a set of stairs.

We strongly recommend that all guests — especially those traveling with children or individuals with limited mobility — carefully review the listing photos of the stairs, loft, and balcony before booking. It’s important to ensure the layout and features of the home are safe and comfortable for your group. If you decide to book with small children we recommend keeping the children away from the stairs, second floor, and basement stairs. We welcome guests traveling with children, but we want to be 100% transparent and set expectations and ensure a safe and stress free trip. Feel free to ask us more details about this before booking and we will be happy to help!

If these features raise any concerns about accessibility or safety, we encourage you to consider a different property that may be better suited to your needs.****

BEACH PASSES AND KEYS: Your stay includes a beach pass and a physical key (electronic locks do not work with the doors at Little House in the Woods) , please handle them with care to ensure they are not lost or stolen. Beach passes are expensive and take weeks to replace — if lost, there will be a FEE equal to the replacement cost of the pass (~$500) AND AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO WHAT WE WILL NEED TO COMPENSATE FUTURE GUESTS for not having this highly desired amenity. IF FUTURE GUESTS CANCEL DUE TO THIS ITEMS BEING LOST WE WILL REQUEST COMPENSATION. This could equal a thousand dollars or more! PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS. The situation will negatively impact future guest experiences for weeks to come (and the home’s positive track record will be in jeopardy). Keys have a $250 replacement fee. Please lock your car if the pass is inside (these do get stolen!), keep track of both items, and return them to their original spots before checkout. Thanks so much for helping us keep things smooth for future guests! SORRY FOR THE BIG SCARY DISCLOSURE - HOWEVER, THIS IS SOMETHING WE FEEL IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO HIGHLIGHT WHEREVER POSSIBLE.

Guests have full access to the home, deck, yard, garage (for bikes and beach gear), and private driveway. The house is not visible from the road, and you'll access it via a long gravel driveway. Parking is available for multiple vehicles.

This home was perfect for our family trip to the cape. It’s in a really quiet area with a great set up for meals and hanging out at the house. It’s also close to beaches and parks that were great for our small child a dog.

We had such a wonderful time at Erin's place! The location was easy to find, yet fairly private, even on 4th of July weekend. When my fellow guests arrived and found that the air conditioning wasn't on, Erin was immediately responsive and contacted the handy man to come over right away. She generously provided us with a discounted stay due to the brief discomfort not having air conditioning already activated upon our arrival. The place itself had enough space for 2 adult couples, one toddler, and a fairly large dog to spread out and not trip over one another. As a group of homecooked meal lovers, we were especially pleased with the kitchenware and kitchen ammenities. Access to the local beaches with the provided beach pass was also a highlight of our stay. We would love to come back for the 4th next year and make it a family tradition!

Beautiful house, private yet located within walking distance to restaurants and attractions. The owner stocked the house both thoughtfully and generously to make our stay comfortable.
