Privacy and Luxury on 9 acres Overlooking Ponds & Ocean - Dog Friendly

So idyllic it defies description – the best of both worlds in the prestigious Meadow View Heights in the West End. Nine acres of privacy and luxury in a pristine nature preserve overlooking Shank Painter Pond and Herring Cove, bordering the National Seashore. A renter's son said "The house is in the middle of nowhere and the edge of everything." Three minute bike ride or ten to 15 minute walk to Provincetown’s best restaurants with a path to Herring Cove Beach. Spectacular sunset views over the pond and ocean. Glorious views of water from every window – and two bedroom windows with views of Pilgrim’s Monument. Morning coffee on the side porch watching the birds and wildlife, cocktails on the front deck enjoying the sunset, luxuriating on the overstuffed furniture in the great room with soaring cathedral ceilings. Relax in this peaceful setting. Our home is beautifully appointed, gourmet kitchen, open floor plan, granite counters, large bedrooms, central a/c, wireless Internet, parking galore and dog friendly (must be approved by owner)! It doesn't get better than this.

A word about Shank Shank Painter Pond . . . It has been described as Provincetown's ecological crown jewel, containing the world's largest known quaking bog found on a barrier beach. Hawks, ospreys, and an array of rare fauna and flora are found in the Shank Painter Wildlife Sanctuary. Adjoining Clapps Pond is one of the largest freshwater wetlands in Provincetown, home to many seabirds, migratory birds, turtles, and river otters.

Winter Getaway
Our family had a great time in this spacious home. The great room provided a wonderful spot for a marathon of board games, and the kitchen was well equipped for meal preparation for our large party. The location is spectacular, and lent itself to hikes through the dunes and daily jogs to town. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of shops and restaurants that were open in the off season and the welcome of our dog in many establishments.

Perfect Getaway
This property was the perfect escape for a much needed getaway. Close enough to all that the area has to offer but secluded enough to enjoy nature and the beautiful conservation lands. The sunset views were amazing and the fireplace was a hit among the guests. The owners were great to deal with throughout the process. Highly highly recommend this property.

Pristine and Peaceful
This property is gorgeous, yet located close to town. It's spacious and comfortable (the beds are super comfortable), and ideal for a group stay. You must take a walk on the path near the house to Herring Cove Beach. You will meander through the sand dunes and marshes and find your way to this beautiful, interesting beach. This was one of the highlights of our stay!

Idyllic stay
This property surpassed our expectations: the feeling of isolation even though you were a mere mile from downtown; the well-appointed kitchen and lovely decor; the views out most windows of nature and ponds, and more. We spent the days exploring different beaches and hikes with our 18 - and 20-year old kids, and the evenings playing pool in the fantastic basement. Kids also appreciated that there were lots of running routes right out the door. Will definitely return!

Lovely cabin!
The cabin was big and beautiful as in the pictures! The location was definitely beautiful and quiet, great for a serene getaway. The location was not far from the closest part of town, but to the end of town was a bit far to walk. Would definitely recommend using the rentable scooters or bikes if you’re not bringing a car. Regardless, the hosts were very responsive and the house was everything you could hope for!

A hidden gem
This property was truly tucked away in the corner of town. It’s feels like no one knows you’re there, but you’re right next to them. Overall, the property was amazing. Clean and so serene. The house was the most well stocked I’ve been to. I gave the accuracy of the listing 4/5 because the pictures don’t do it justice - it’s better in person. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Dream House
This is one of the most beautiful spots we have ever stayed. We held our intimate wedding reception here, and we could not have picked a better place. The pictures do not so this house justice. The rooms are spacious and the fire place is magnificent. The outdoor space is tranquil and the pond is so lovely and full of wildlife. We loved falling asleep to the frogs and crickets! The walk through the dunes to the beach is absolute magic, an easy ten minutes if you like exercise, longer but completely doable for those who prefer to stroll. Janet and Steve are both lovely, and were so helpful and answered all of our ten million questions! ( Thank you both, I am sure we were annoying.) This house will live in our memories forever as a very special place, and we hope to be able to return in the future.

Fabulous place to stay
We rented the house to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. We invited three other couples to join us. It rained all weekend but the house was great it gave us all enough room to go off by ourselves or be together as a group. It has a fabulous fireplace and plenty of room for everyone. Although the house is a hike from town it was great being able to either be in town or to be secluded in a very quiet setting. The only drawback is the third bedroom although beautiful is in the basement and has no bathroom ( have to go up the second floor for the bathroom). I highly recommend this property.

PTown Oasis of Beauty, Comfort, Nature and Calm
This property is a dream come true for anyone who loves the natural beauty of Provincetown and wants to pretend for a time to live there, surrounded by that beauty, with all the comforts of a graciously and tastefully appointed home. Part chalet, part log cabin, the atmosphere is warm and woody, beds comfy, lighting that adapts to any mood, stained glass accents that delight, a vaulted ceiling that is just plain awesome with a stone fireplace equally so. Big enough for extended families and/or friends, but a spacious retreat for me as a solo traveler. You can see the amazing sunset from the deck that squarely faces West. Privacy ... Peace ... Pleasure ... Poetry. A place you want to return to ...

Nice property, Great Location
This is a nice property. The location is fabulous if you don't mind driving to PTown. The grounds very pretty overlooking a lake. A nice fireplace if the right season and open floor plan. Bathrooms are 80's style and ok. Two complaints. While the owners were very responsive, we needed to get the property cleaned ourselves upon arrival. The shower curtain was mildewed and needed replacement and there was sand all over the floors. The oven had never been cleaned. (now it has). Second, you can hear through the walls pretty easily as its not well insulated inside. Beyond that, a good property.

Just Like Staying at Your In-Laws' Dated Vacation Home
The good: The landscaping and the setting of the house are beautiful, and it is surrounded by nature. Its setting makes for a very peaceful stay. The inside has a lot of space for gathering your group/family. The bad: This house does NOT have four bedrooms; the misrepresented fourth "bedroom" is a partially enclosed area of the basement without a window, closet, or bathroom. The $470 cleaning/owner admin fee is exceedingly high given the atypical expectations of guests at check-out: launder all of the linens; empty and haul any remaining trash down the long driveway; and clean and put away all dishes. Although the house is clean, it is not tidy: for example, overstuffed kitchen cabinets and closets full of misfit housewares and hardware supplies. Most of the furniture and fixtures haven't been updated in many years. The remote location is not convenient to any retail, restaurants, or beaches; it's not easily walkable and is at least a15 minute bike ride to the center of town. These largely would be non-issues if the house were priced accordingly, but at this price, you can get something better.

Fantastic P-Town Retreat
Very nice, perfectly maintained, clean, and functional house with lots of space and expansive marsh views. You'll feel a great sense of peace, privacy and nature, but will be reasonably close to the action. While it's possible to hike through the dunes to get to the beach, it's a little bit of a trek and don't expect much in the way of water views (though you get a peek from the top of the stairs). That said, the views from the house are quite special nonetheless, especially at sunset. The kitchen is great and very well-equipped, so you'll have everything you need to cook as much as you like. In general, the quality of the furnishings is fine, but falls a bit short of the stylish luxury you might find in other high-end P-town properties. The beds are the only real low-point to mention. I'm not a "mattress snob" by any means, but we both lost some sleep on their particular choice of bed/mattress combination. It's hard to tell if it's the beds (one of which is not even assembled correctly) or the mattresses, but something in the equation doesn't work at all and the owners would be well-served to upgrade.

Dream a little dream...
1 Bayberry is such a precious place that one almost wants to fake a poor review just to keep the secret. But the reality is the opposite, 1 Bayberry is a "unicorn". It almost defies definition. The walk to the beach through the dunes is otherworldly, as if your vacation was to Tatooine instead of Cape Cod and Herring Beach feels like your private getaway. Who are these people who drove there? The approach to the home takes your breath away and the alternate sunrise/sunset views of the private bogs with ducks, herons and other wildlife leaves the life you left behind as far off from your mind as you dreamed. All this and yet an easy peddle by bike to the restaurants, pier and shops lets you leave your keys in your bag. The rooms afford distinct privacy and vantage points with a warm majestic center room where your friends and family comfortably join by the fireplace in the stone hearth. Night arrives, to the game room! Morning arrives, to the covered porch to sip hot coffee and tea on rocking chairs while the mist dissipates. The hosts were amazing and super responsive when we accidentally set off the alarm (oops, sorry Steve and Janet, did not mean it!) The ONLY downside is that there will be an end to your time at 1 Bayberry. Could not give higher praise. Our stay was recent yet feels like a dream we had, one afternoon, long ago...
