About this property

Nauset Haven on Minister's Pond is a private waterfront cottage community nestled among the pines. Just 2.5 miles from both the ocean and bay beaches, our cottage is a blend of privacy and convenience. It offers waterviews and homey comfort in a beautiful Cape Cod setting. Participants in the CAPE COD SYMPOSIUM (1/2 mile away) and the CAPE COD INSTITUTE (2.4 miles away) have raved about this relaxing alternative to a motel room. Enjoy your meals overlooking Ministers Pond, a 21 acre freshwater kettle pond with it's own beach, dock and swimming platform. Take out one of the rowboats for a trip around the pond or some freshwater fishing. Nap under the pines in our hammock or barbecue on the patio. On those occasional cool cape nights cozy up to the wood-burning fireplace.

The Cape Cod bike trail, which you can access across the street, is a bike trail that goes from Dennis to Wellfleet. Rent a bike at L'il Capestrano Bike Shop which is 1 block away. Arnold's Family Restaurant is within walking distance for food, ice cream and mini-golf. Provincetown, a great place for shopping, dining and both people and whale watching is just 30 minutes away.

Loved swimming in fresh cold water!

This place is so cute, perfect for a couple or 3 people. We enjoyed our stay and swimming down at the fresh cold water pond to take away the heat of the summer. The AC was nice and quiet too.

Peaceful Retreat

We enjoyed the view of the pond from our bedroom and the porch. The cottage is so quaint and has the Cape vibe. It was perfect for our small family. We took the rowboats out and swam in the pond . The location is perfect for getting to the beach and restaurants. We will definitely try and stay again. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Loved it, but...

Everything was great, a little smaller than we thought it would be, getting around the bed was a little difficult, but do able. I'm not a spider person, so too many of those, and some cob webs. Super cute though, the pond was very nice to soak our feet after our hikes, but the highway was pretty loud. Maybe it was just the labor day holiday, which also made it a little difficult getting in and out of the driveway. Would try that area again.

Beautiful and relaxing

What an absolute beautiful and serene place to stay! Was in town for a Cape Cod Institute week long training and was lucky enough to stay on Ministers Pond in this cabin on the lake. Was so relaxing to wake up every morning to the gorgeous view of the lake dominating through the windows. Highly recommend!

Week on Ministers Pond

We love Ministers Pond and this cottage was perfect. Very quiet and a very nice view of the pond. Very comfortable bed. Communication with our hosts was effective. Short drive to the National Seashore beaches..what could be better. We’d love to return next Fall!

We Loved This Cosy Cottage

My husband and I spent a relaxing week in early August at this lovely cottage on Minister's Pond. It exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need, it was spotlessly clean and the bathroom appears to be newly renovated. The enclosed back porch with it's super comfy day bed was my favorite spot for reading with my morning coffee or evening glass of wine while looking out over the pine trees and view of the pond. We really enjoyed the pond for a morning or late afternoon swim after the beach. We'll definitely be back!

Cottage on the Pond

We arrived in July for 1 week. We wanted to be on a pond with short distances to salt water beaches. This is just what we had-a pond in front of the cottage with a dock and rowboats- and multiple beaches situated all around us (we even found Crystal Lake down the road) The out side of the cottage was spotless-picnic table, grill, adirondack chairs and a large hammock! You had a full view of the pond. (we fished morning and at dusk) The inside of cottage was again "spotless", TV's, Cable, all appliances are new..Nicely decorated!!! ceiling fan in the porch facing the pond was our favorite place! We would watch the pond from there- while eating our breakfast, and dinner...yes there is a fireplace. we did not use the fan in the main bedroom. (could not get it to work) but opening the windows brought the cool breeze in. Location was perfect. We loved the area and the cottage!!

Quiet and Relaxing

This small cottage was perfect and delightfully confortable. Our relunctance about being so near the State Highway was unfounded as we almost never heard traffic noise in the cottage, just the occasional chorus of frogs. Loved our view looking out over the dock. We used our own canoe on the pond and also the row boats available to Nauset Haven guests. Truly a beautiful, quiet, snug haven on the Cape.

Cozy Cottage in Peaceful Setting

This property was located in a peaceful setting overlooking Minister Pond. The cottage was well equipped with just about anything you might need. It is centrally located on the Cape Outer Coast, so everything from Provincetown to Chatham is within easy driving distance. While the property was close to Rt 6, it was still relatively quiet. You feel like you're very isolatyed.

All we hoped for and more!

All we hoped for and more! We swam, we fished, we read, we napped, we biked, we ate in some, we ate out some, we hung out with friends one night and barbecued, we took out a rowboat and caught a bunch of fish, we slept great and the only thing we wished for was to stay a little longer. Thank you!

Wonderful cottage on lake

We loved being right on the little lake for swimming, boating, and stargazing on the dock. It’s convenient in that it’s right on route 6, but it also made it hard to ride bikes. There’s plenty of sleeping space since theres a day bed that doubles as a couch in the living room. Overall, great clean cabin with everything you’d need.
