Enjoy a private deck, inviting living spaces, and access to a quiet shared beach with a fire pit, kayak, and canoe—just minutes from the ocean, the bay, and all that Eastham has to offer. Sat–Sat in July and August 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 Tucked along the tranquil edge of Minister’s Pond in Eastham, Willow Haven is a timeless one-bedroom, one-bath cottage designed for quiet moments, cozy evenings, and sun-drenched days by the water. A perfect escape for couples—and their well-behaved pup—this peaceful haven combines classic Cape Cod charm with thoughtful modern touches and dreamy pondside views. Wake to the soft shimmer of morning light on the water as you sip your coffee on the private deck surrounded by whispering pines and birdsong. The deck includes a gas grill and patio furniture, perfect for twilight dinners under the stars or lazy afternoons with a good book. Step inside to a cozy, sunlit living room with plush seating and a Roku TV for streaming your favorite shows and movies after a day at the beach or on the water. The cottage’s galley kitchen, though compact, is clean and efficient, outfitted with new appliances and all the essentials for cooking at home. Whether you're preparing a romantic dinner in the adjacent dining area or enjoying a casual breakfast at the bar—also a great spot for puzzles, games, or late-night chats—Willow Haven invites you to slow down and savor the simple pleasures. The bedroom is warm and welcoming with a comfortable queen bed and soft lighting that sets the mood for afternoon naps or early nights. The bathroom is small but spotless, offering a stand-up shower and everything you need to refresh after a day in the sun. The cottage is set on a generous wooded lot and shares access to a sandy pond beach with a neighboring cottage and the main house further up the way. While the beach is the only shared space, guests have consistently found the setting to be serene and uncrowded. Here, you’ll find a fire pit for stargazing and storytelling, along with a canoe and kayak for quiet adventures on the water. It’s the perfect place to reconnect—with nature, with each other, and with the slower pace of Cape life. Centrally located in Eastham, Willow Haven places you just minutes from the Cape Cod Rail Trail, Arnold’s famed fried clams, the Salt Pond Visitor Center, and the pristine stretches of the National Seashore. Whether you're catching a bay sunset, heading east for a sunrise surf, or spending the afternoon paddling across the pond, Willow Haven is a peaceful, romantic base for your Cape Cod story.
