With a private deck, shared beach, canoe/kayak, cozy comforts, and access to beaches, trails, and local favorites, this charming escape invites you to slow down and savor Cape life—whether for summer paddles, shoulder season strolls, or starlit nights by the fire. We respect the autonomy of our guests but are available by text, email, phone, carrier pigeon, smoke signal, yodeling, or Facetime Willow Haven is a peaceful pondside retreat for two. It is not a party vibe kind of place and we do not allow parties or events at this beautiful spot Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, Willow Haven is a peaceful one bedroom, one bath cottage tucked along the tranquil edge of Minister’s Pond. Designed for quiet days by the water and cozy evenings under Cape skies, this timeless retreat combines classic coastal charm with curated modern comforts. Whether you’re here for sun drenched summer paddles, crisp shoulder season strolls, or romantic sunsets, Willow Haven invites you to slow down, reconnect, and savor the beauty of Cape Cod life. Wake to the soft shimmer of morning light on the pond as you sip coffee on your private deck, surrounded by whispering pines and birdsong. The deck’s gas grill and patio furniture make twilight dinners under the stars just as inviting as lazy afternoons with a good book. Step inside to a bright, sunlit living room with plush seating and a large streaming Roku TV — perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach, on the Rail Trail, or exploring nearby trails and shops. The galley kitchen may be compact, but it’s thoughtfully outfitted with new appliances and all the essentials for everything from casual breakfasts to home cooked dinners. The adjacent breakfast bar doubles as a cozy spot for puzzles, games, or late night chats. When it’s time to rest, the welcoming bedroom with its comfortable queen bed beckons with soft lighting and peaceful charm, and the clean, tidy bathroom offers a stand up shower to refresh after a day outdoors. Set on a generous wooded lot with access to a sandy pond beach shared with a neighboring cottage, Willow Haven feels spacious and serene even in company. Gather around the fire pit beneath open skies or take out the canoe and kayak for quiet water adventures — it’s a simple, soulful escape made for connection.
