Cottage on Beautiful Long Pond with Fantastic Sandy Lakefront Beach

You'll love the short walk from 'The Palace' to our white sandy beach on Long Pond, one of Southeastern Massachusetts' pristine glacial lakes. This rustic summer cottage is tucked into a pine woodland and sits on a hill just above the large beach. The beach which is semiprivate, has a dock a floating raft and tons of sand - perfect for building sandcastles. The gradual entrance into the water is great for young children.

The Palace offers accommodations for up to six people. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with a queen bed and two twins (bunk bed style). The galley kitchen has plenty of cooking utensils and dishes. The screened porch is set up for dining alfresco while enjoying a great view of Long Pond.

Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, a week at the Palace offers an old-fashioned style family vacation.

You can enjoy quiet morning strolls along woodland paths and refreshing daily swims while remaining surprisingly close to many popular Massachusetts destinations. Long Pond has clean, clear water with a sandy bottom and is great for small craft boating. There is a public boat ramp that accommodates small boats. Kayaks and sailboats are perfect. For over 60 years, the pond residents have raced antique sail boats on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in July and August. Fishermen love Long Pond which the state stocks with trout and salmon each Spring and Fall.

Explore miles of sandy country roads and trails that run through conservation land, cranberry bogs and along the shores of three nearby ponds.

The cottage is next to Pinewoods Camp, a folk dance and music camp. From mid June through Labor Day, you can hear the music wafting through the woods until 11 PM. On selected Sunday nights in July and August guests are invited to participate in the evening folk dance program.

Four generations of our family have vacationed on this property for over seventy years. We have worked hard to preserve its natural, rustic character and the unique old-fashioned nature of the structures.

Cozy getaway
This was an amazing stay. It was exactly as described; clean, comfortable and with gorgeous views. Susan and Trip were extremely communicative and made us feel right at home. It rained the whole time I was there but the wood stove and screened in porch made it a perfect getaway. I would definitely come again!

Quiet getaway in the woods with private beach
Our family for 4 ventured deep into the Massachusetts wilderness to discover this 2 bedroom “Palace” cottage. It had all the basics that we needed and it’s own sandy beach on the lake, a short 2 min walk away. We had a little trouble finding the location at first but the owners went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The cottage was old and had a great nostalgic feel to it. The weather was great so the lack of heat in the cottage was not a factor. The location is great, quiet and private but it was hard to travel at night not knowing the area that well. Located adjacent to a singing/music camp, my son got a kick out of exploring the grounds in our notified “hiking trails” Overall Susan was fantastic and we would definitely go back, preferably in the summer and enjoy all that lake has to offer.

Peaceful stay at the Palace!
Our family enjoyed the tranquility of the lake and surrounding pine forest. The gentle music floating in from Pinewoods was magical. It’s a little confusing to find the location- it’s nearly part of the Pinewoods campus rather than neighbors, as there are shared private roads. But once you are at the cabin, it’s fully private. The beach was clean and inviting. The lake is nice and shallow for young children. The cabin contained lots of little things you might have forgotten to bring, which was handy. The Conant family made us feel welcome!

Wonderful!!
Although a little tricky to find initially, we had a wonderful week spent by the lake. The owners were great, as we had one specifically chilly night and they stopped by the make sure we knew how to start the fireplace. The lake water is so crystal clear, and the cabin was so cozy. It was exactly what we had been looking for.. Thank you Susan for allowing us to enjoy this gem for our stay!

Peaceful vacation in beautiful spot
We loved the setting. Trees all around to provide privacy, quiet lake, lovely sandy beach, com,fortable beds. Overall we loved it and would be happy to return. There were a few details that would have made it even better. The grill was rusty and although we tried cleaning and oiling it, we didn't feel comfortable using it. We suggest replacing the grill plates (preferably with ones that could be washed with soap and water) and then asking the renters to make sure to keep grill closed so it doesn't get wet. Who ever does the cleaning should check it to make sure it was cleaned each time. There were a couple of windows in the large bedroom that don't close and given that it was colder than anticipated, that would have helped to keep the cottage warmer. Three heaters were provided but they are not efficient enough to really warm the large room. The tall black one worked fine for the bathroom and we were not cold at night. But in the evening, sitting in the living space, it was cold, even with two heaters on. We managed and it was fine so this is just a suggestion.

Amazing beach!!!
One of my nicest vacations !! Loved the fact we were surrounded by nature you could hear all the birds! There was a camp nearby that you heard music and dancing I really enjoyed the sound! The owners were very friendly and very accommodating for anything we needed!! Very tricky getting there at night as it is way up in the woods with many winding roads Google Maps brought us to a different house but the owner but the owner answered the phone when we got there late and came out with a flashlight and showed us the way! Cottage is old but very clean we were very comfortable if you are a camper and like the woods and quiet this is for you!!!

Quintessential Lake Vacation
The Palace of the Cornish Point cottages was beyond perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with the best of all worlds - hidden deep in the woods away from hub-bub of society but within a few miles of stores, restaurants and under an hour from Boston, points of interest in Rhode Island, etc. The cottage had everything we needed and more in a family of four (mom and three teenagers) and the kids spent 99% of their time on or in the lake. Waking up to the forest smells and sounds while being able to enjoy morning coffee on the porch swing while also being able to see the lake a few steps away was heaven. Honestly no complaints and would love to be able to stay again!

My family will keep coming back. This our idea of heaven.
When I found this property last summer (stayed in the cute Dick’s Maggot) I immediately called my sister and we booked the bigger “Palace” for this summer. The cottage is equipped with everything you need and the screened in porch brings in the breeze. A short path to the most beautiful private sand beach is exactly where we stayed every day, all day. So quiet, so relaxing. The crystal clear water is amazing. Shallow and great for little ones. Can’t wait to go back!

A perfect family lakeside getaway
My family of four (kids aged 5 and 2) had the BEST time at The Palace. It's the perfect vacation if you are looking to relax on a lakeside beach that's steps away from the cottage, while also enjoying a cottage experience in the woods. Coffee on the porch swing in the morning and dinner at the table in the evening made for wonderful meals. We were close enough to the coastal Cape to visit easily within a 20-30 minute drive, as well as the historic areas of Plymouth. The easy hike to the cranberry bogs was also a highlight. The folk music and dance camp neighbor was never an issue-kids weren't disturbed by it and I found it a charming atmospheric element to the stay. We had such a wonderful time at this gem of a place. It really checked all the boxes for us in terms of a vacation getaway with kids-beach/water fun, lighthouses, great seafood, a rustic cabin/cottage accommodations, and nature. Thank you Conant family!

A bit of a disappointment
The cottage is only a few yards from a little lakeside beach, and this is lovely. We swam most days of our 5 day stay. The beach is shared with 2 other smaller cabins but we only saw one other person on it on one occasion. Loved the beach and view of the lake. However, the cabin itself smelled damp when we arrived and some of the bedding even felt a little damp ( it had rained heavily that day). The damp smell lingered for the first few days. There are fly screens on all the windows but some are broken and some of the windows particularly in one bedroom are ill-fitting and have large gaps, letting insects in. There is a gap large enough under the back door that a chipmunk got in. The kitchen is a small area at the entrance of the cabin partitioned off from one of the bedrooms. The partition does not go up to ceiling height so if you are in bed and someone puts the light on in the kitchen it is as if the light is on in the bedroom. Similarly noise carries. Both bedrooms have a large framed aperture in the wall which has no glass in it, so again if you are in the bedroom you can hear the TV as if you are in the same room, and see the light. This might be OK if everyone goes to bed at the same time. The kitchen did not have oven gloves, or an oven proof dish, or a grater ( I wanted to make a simple pasta bake). The noise from the nearby music camp can be quite loud. It seems to be recorder recitals. It goes on until about 11pm, with a lot of clapping and cheering. I think this would be an OK cabin for a couple of nights and if you don't mind these issues, but not for everyone and not really for us.

Spectacular lake front retreat
Just what we were looking for in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Very nice cabin located just steps from a private beach that our children enjoyed immensely. Our 3 year was able to wade safely in the water, while our daughter swam, and dove off the dock. This was a highlight for their vacation. We found the accommodations comfortable, clean, and exactly what we needed. There is nothing negative to say about our stay, and would highly recommend these cabins to anyone. Thank you Susan for making this cabin available, and making this a great vacation for our family. Would definately return again next time we are in the area.

Perfect spot for quality time with friends or family in nature.
We loved the Palace! Susan and her brothers were available for advice and history on the area. The pond is a quiet special place. We took advanatage of the nearby trails and paddling on the pond - we enjoyed seeing the cranberry bogs, an eagle, an endangered red bellied turtle, herons, swans, rainbows... We were a group of old friends looking for a special weekend together and we got it 10 fold!
