68steps to your private white sand beach.

We are located on top of a beach bluff overlooking all of Cape Cod Bay. The private stairway takes you down to a beautiful white sand beach where the tides roll in and out.

The cottage is nestled in a pine tree forest with gardens, an outdoor patio and a huge deck for spectacular sunset views.

The cottage offers three bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a living room. Outside surrounding the house are patios and decks overlooking Cape Cod Bay. Including top of line Weber gas BBQ grill and the favorite "Sun Shower."

Ἐν δ’ ἔπεσ’ Ὠκεανῷ λαμπρὸν φάος ἠελίοιο,
the shining torch of the sun fell into the ocean.
Henry David Thoreau

Just before reaching the light-house, we saw the sun set in the Bay,—for standing on that narrow Cape was, as I have said, like being on the deck of a vessel, or rather at the masthead of a man-of-war, thirty miles at sea...This sight drove everything else quite out of our heads, and Homer and the Ocean came in again with a rush Henry David Thoreau

Our Gardens

Every year we add to our gardens that bloom throughout the season. A variety of trees shade the property and even blueberries mid-summer!

Sunsets,

Sunrises, Stars & Planets!

The Sunsets are incredible, setting over Provincetown, and the Sunrises are unbelievable filling the sky with a spectrum of color. The Full Moon is spectacular, including a 180-degree Sky for Star and Planet Observation.

Sun-shower & decks all around

Featured is our Cape Cod facing outdoor Deck off the Living Room and several in the bluff/pine trees seating areas. We created these seating areas based on the direction of the sun, wind, and bay view. Another favorite is the outdoor sun-shower overlooking the bluff.

The Far Horizons Cottage

Our parents bought the cottage in 1959; there were no trees and little beachgrass at the time. The cottage went through revisions to include rooms, bathroom, Main Deck, and storage. The family developed multiple courtyards and seating areas surrounded by flowers and trees.

Highland Light

Highland Light Station, also known as Cape Cod Light, is located on Outer Cape Cod within Cape Cod National Seashore in North Truro. Commissioned by George Washington and established in 1797 as the 20th light station in the United States. The naturalist and author Henry David Thoreau visited Highland Light several times in the 1850s. Thoreau found the lighthouse "a neat building, in apple pie order."

Our eclectic mix of gourmet food items, dried fruits and nuts, coffees and teas, is matched only by our unique collection of houseware and tabletop items, kitchen gadgets and cookbooks.

Corn Hill

A plaque at the base of Corn Hill commemorates the event. The inscription reads, “Sixteen pilgrims led by Miles Standish, William Bradford, Stephen Hopkins and Edward Tilley found the precious indian corn on this spot which they called Corn Hill, November 16th 1620. And sure it was gods good providence that we found this corn for else we know not how we should have done.”
