Let the Cape Cod breeze clear your thoughts and the sound of birdsong reset your pace. This beautifully renovated Orleans retreat sits on a quiet wooded lot — walk 5 minutes to Pilgrim Lake, stroll through the woods to Arey's Pond, or drive 7 minutes to Nauset Beach. Three bedrooms sleep up to 10, with a designer coffee bar, firepit, grill station, and game room waiting for you. There is a lot to donor nothing at all.
The space
THE HOME
Recently renovated and thoughtfully designed for groups and families, this 3-bedroom Orleans retreat gives everyone space to gather, unwind, and make memories. Two distinct living rooms, a designer coffee bar, a chef's kitchen, and a private backyard oasis mean your group will never run out of places to be. Trupti (your host) is always just a message away.
LIVING ROOM 1 — THE GREAT ROOM
The heart of the home is a bright, open-plan great room where the living area, dining room, and kitchen flow effortlessly into one another. Oversized windows on two walls flood the space with natural light and frame the surrounding New England woodland. Large comfortable sofas and accent chairs seat your whole group in one place, a decorative fireplace adds warmth and character to the room, and a large Smart TV is ready for movie nights. The open layout means whoever is cooking is never cut off from the conversation.
LIVING ROOM 2 — THE SITTING ROOM
A second fully furnished sitting room gives your group a quieter space to retreat when the main room is lively — perfect for reading, working, or simply unwinding. This room has its own distinct character and charm, its own decorative fireplace, and its own Smart TV. An Orleans coordinate sign and framed Cape Cod nautical chart make it feel exactly like where you are.
THE COFFEE BAR
A dedicated coffee bar that guests genuinely love. Open floating shelves stocked with wine glasses and cocktail glasses, a Cuisinart coffee maker, Monin flavoring syrups, ceramic mugs on a wooden tray, and a full water carafe set. No hunting through cabinets — everything is out, organized, and ready. Your morning routine, upgraded.
THE KITCHEN
Stocked the way a chef would want it — farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, butcher block island that seats 4, subway tile backsplash, lobster pots, stovetop griddle, cast iron, sharp knives, a full spice rack, blender, and quality cookware throughout. A new round dining table seats 6–8 under original pendant lights. When in season, a fresh herb garden just outside is yours to use in your cooking.

Every bedroom is thoughtfully appointed with quality linens, blackout shades, and ample storage — everything you need to actually rest and recharge on vacation.

MID-WEEK SUMMER STAYS — A SMARTER WAY TO DO THE CAPE
One of the best-kept secrets about staying in Orleans: book Monday to Friday in June, July, or August and you completely avoid Cape Cod bridge traffic — both ways. Arrive Monday morning when the roads are clear, enjoy five full days on the Cape at its most relaxed, and head home Friday before the weekend rush ever starts. So you are never stuck in the Sunday exodus. Guests who discover this never go back to weekend bookings.
Guest access
Guests have full, private access to the entire home, backyard, game room, and all amenities. Keyless entry — your code is sent before arrival. Parking for up to 3 cars in the driveway only (no street, grass, or lawn parking). Association beach access at Pilgrim Lake is a 5-minute walk — details in the house guide.
The Neighborhood
A peaceful Orleans neighborhood surrounded by wooded landscapes, coastal breezes, and birdsong. Walk 5 min to Pilgrim Lake (freshwater, association beach). Stroll through the woods to Arey's Pond for walking, biking, and kayak rentals into Pleasant Bay. Drive 7 min to Nauset or Skaket Beach. Cape Cod Rail Trail and Arey's Pond Boat Yard are minutes away. Downtown Orleans, Chatham, and Provincetown all within easy reach.
Other things to note
Historic Cape Cod is the ideal place to let the breeze clear your thoughts, the ocean waves renew your spirit, and the migratory birds remind you of the splendor of nature. Modern Cape Escape Retreat is the ideal way to escape the everyday.
