Great family getaway

Our group of 3 adults and one 2 1/2-year-old just enjoyed a wonderful week at this hide-a-way vacation home. The house was extremely clean and well stocked, anything we needed was provided from linens to paper products and cleaning supplies. As a tea drinker, I really appreciated the assortment of teas and the tea/coffee nook. We had gorgeous weather so took full advantage of the deck, grill, firepit, outdoor shower and short walk to the lake. Loved the layout of the home and the cozy bright family room on the first floor - also great to have laundry facilities. The location in Chatham is ideal for access to route 28 - bay beaches are a short drive as is downtown Chatham, the fish pier, playground, grocery stores, etc. The hosts provided all the information we needed for smooth check-in & check-out, property details and local favorites to help with our experience. The home is in a lovely quiet neighborhood. We all agreed we would stay at this property again without hesitation.

Vivian's Hideaway Chatham

Vivian's Hideaway in Chatham is a lovely home in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, ten minutes from downtown Chatham and 20 minutes from the local Cape Cod Bay and ocean beaches. Scott and Maggie are terrific hosts. They are helpful, always available, and encouraging to their guests to have a fantastic vacation. The home is impeccably decorated with furniture and modern appliances. The outdoor patio with dining table and comfy furniture around a natural gas fire pit is a wonderful gathering space. This home deserves respect and care from its guests to match the respect and care of its owners. Our family enjoyed every moment.

Family Vacation

We spent a week on the Cape and had a great time! The house was perfect for the 4 of us - we enjoyed the Lake, going into town and being able to drive to different parts of the Cape as it was so centrally located. The house was well equipped, furnished and made us feel at home right away. We would definitely come back!

Everything you need for a memorable Cape Cod vacation

Great vacation rental in a convenient location, just a short drive into the village of Chatham. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Lovers Lake was a nice place to enjoy the setting sun on the shoreline or on kayak. The beach gear provided made us feel like we had packed our car up with everything we needed, though traveled here by plane with just our carry ons! Beach chairs, towels, easy to set up shade, coolers, toys and metal detector made for several fun days at multiple different beaches. Also a hit with the teens was the vintage typewriter and many books in the hallway desk area. This was the only place the owners displayed their personal mementos, giving you a sense of their love for Cape Cod, yet allowing you the rest of the property to feel like your own for the week. My husband love the portable JBL speaker provided for use. This place is fully stocked with everything you may need. The wonderful shampoo and body wash in every shower including the outdoor one was just the touch to make this accommodation luxurious!

Beautifully updated in a great location

My family had a wonderful vacation at this property. It was ideal for a two family getaway as there are two separate areas of the house. My parents stayed downstairs in the king bed. My wife and I and our 2 kids (3 and 1 year) were upstairs in the remaining 3 bedrooms. The house is super modern with high end finishes and a fully stocked kitchen. We cooked every day at the house and never ran into kitchen utensils or anything that we would have needed and weren’t available. The deck was incredible. A retractable awning was easy to operate and gave some shade. There is a new Webber grill and gas fire fixture as well. This was such a beautiful house. The landscaping was great too. Our kids loved the outdoor shower. The shed is loaded with outdoor activities. The bike path is right down the road and the lake is a short walk away. If you have little kids like we do I would just recommend bringing some kind of tension gate for the stairs. We had to rig something up so that my rambunctious 1 year old wouldn’t fall down the stairs. Once again we had a wonderful time here and would certainly book again in the upcoming years.

Vivian's Hideaway is a beautiful home that offers all the amenities you need to have a fabulous vacation. Very stylish, immaculately clean, and comfortable. Have stayed in many rental properties and this was by far the most well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The outdoor space was lovely for dining and relaxing. Close proximity to lake, downtown, and beaches. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend this property!

We absolutely loved our time at Scottie and Maggie’s beautiful home. They were so responsive with any questions we had and are so friendly. The house was incredibly clean and spacious, and the location was perfect. It was also extremely well-stocked with everything we needed (kitchen, bathrooms, shed, grill supplies, etc.). The outdoor patio is also such a gem. My entire family would highly recommend Vivian’s Hideaway for your Chatham stay!

Family Cape Cod Getaway Chatham 2023

Vivian’s Hideaway truly is the best of both worlds!! We felt right at home. Our family loved the house and location! The house was immaculate and had every amenity possible. We loved the tea and coffee draw, the abundance of towels, the lovely colors of the plates and cups, and the aesthetics of the home!! Absolutely stunning! Every morning we walked down to the lake to paddle board, fish, and kayak. Having both at our disposal was heavenly! We even got up at 6:30 our last day so we could have a final go around the lake. Pretty amazing! The outdoor shower was lovely and the only shower we used! Every evening we sat around the fire pit and played games and had so much fun! The house had easy access to the bike trails and walking paths which we took advantage of and had a blast! We did explore the beaches on the list provided, but the lake was so lovely we never went to the beach! Spent every moment at the lake reading or on the water. The owners Scott and Maggie were lovely to deal with! I requested a Dutch oven and they had a brand new one for us! So nice to not have to bring ours! The beds and bedding were EXTREMELY comfortable! So much so, I asked for the make. Lol It was also lovely to have central air! 10 out of 10! Loved every minute there. Thank you Scott and Maggie! See you next year!❤️ Thank you for the lovely basket, it made us feel very welcomed.

Superb

We had a fantastic family vacation at Vivian’s Hideaway. The house is great. The patio, with fire pit, is a terrific place to hang out. The kitchen/eating area and downstairs living room are as well. The location is also excellent—an easy bike or car ride into Chatham. The lake nearby is less than a 5 minute walk and is great for swimming, kayaking, etc. What is truly remarkable is the degree to which Scott and Maggie have thought of everything guests might need on the Cape—from beach chairs to bikes to extra towels and toiletries and kitchen equipment. They were incredibly responsive to our questions and provided an amazing experience. We’d definitely recommend it!

Mid-westerners enjoying the Cape

Great place to stay in Chatham. Very clean lovely cottage, decorated in a beachy style. Comfortably living room for gathering the family together. The home has a kitchen to die for. Everything you could possibly need, probably more than you have at home. The best part is a sliding door leading out to a huge patio. Lots of seating with cushioned chairs couch and a large table.

The patio is also a lovely addition for a relaxing afternoon or dinner by the fire pit. I highlight recommend this stay!

Absolutely delightful stay!

Our stay at Vivian’s Hideaway was wonderful! The house was beautifully decorated, well appointed and extremely clean and comfortable. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome basket and thoroughly enjoyed cooking in the ample sized, well equipped kitchen. The incredible selection of tea (and coffee) delighted all of us . A favorite was relaxing in the lovely outdoor patio space and indulging in the outdoor shower with tastefully selected body wash, shampoo and conditioner in all the showers. The bikes, chairs and many other outdoor amenities were appreciated and well utilized by the whole family. Of particular note was the ever present attentiveness and warmth of owners Scottie and Maggie. They were absolutely terrific to communicate with! Would highly recommend this home for a memorable and wonderful Cape Cod getaway!

An Amazing Stay

Have to start with the absolute pristine condition of the home. Clean and well maintained in every manner you can think of, Vivian’s Hideaway was just perfect for our group of nine (two families). The outdoor area with fire pit was a relaxing ending to each day we spent exploring Cape Cod, sitting beachfront, enjoying downtown Chatham, or paddle boarding/kayaking on Lovers Lake (particularly popular with our teens). If you are going in the summer, be sure to check out the Cape Cod baseball league, super fun for all ages. Scott and Maggie were by far the most helpful and thoughtful hosts we have encountered - we had a question or two about the area before we arrived, and they were incredibly helpful in their answers and suggestions. Every detail was thought out with the guests in mind, straight down to the refreshing body wash in the showers and the towels you couldn’t run out of if you tried. The area has everything from 5 star restaurants to the Chatham Fish Pier and a cool little pie shop (Martha’s I believe) that serves great lobster rolls. All in all a fantastic & relaxing experience for our families, we would absolutely go back there in a heartbeat.

Perfect For a Family

This property is truly perfection for a family vacation. Maggie & Scott thought of everything you could possibly need to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. There is not a detail that goes unnoticed from the welcome basket to the organization of the drawers in the kitchen. Our children loved walking the short distance to the lake and we loved the beauty of the views that came along with it. There is no doubt going forward that if we return to Chatham it will be with this property! I would absolutely recommend renting, you will not be disappointed!

Perfect Chatham Getaway!

We throughly enjoyed Vivian's Hideaway! Exceeded our expectations with so many little extra's that made us feel like special guests. Located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to downtown by bike or car. Also an easy walk to Lover's Lake where we had fun with the kayak and paddle boards provided. The lake was beautiful, clear and a bit warmer than the ocean. We really loved the back deck with terrific outdoor shower. By far was the most nicely decorated, comfortable and well appointed vacation rental we have ever stayed in. Thanks Scott and Maggie for sharing your lovely home.:)
