5BR historic cottage on Pamet and Cape Cod Bay. Kayak heaven ! Internet.

Castleway cottage is a charming historic 1100 square foot three season cottage, just steps away from the Pamet River which opens up into Cape Cod Bay, one mile south of Corn Hill Beach. Built in the 1890's as an artist's colony, Castleway is one of 8 Sladeville cottages (built by Mr. Slade), which are steps from a private riverfront on the Pamet River. Bring your kayaks, canoes and floats ! Pet friendly. Cottage is simple and charming, with a recently remodeled kitchen, first floor full bath with tub and shower, outdoor shower, three small bedrooms on the first floor and two on the second, along with a half bath. Sleeps 7-8 comfortably and up to 9 if some guests are small children. Newly sanded floors in kitchen & two first floor bedrooms. Living room has been painted and has a working fireplace ! Dining room table can seat 8-10. There is a small TV in the living room and a second one in the upstairs master bedroom. Internet is provided and signal is good, as is a land line for local calls (cell phone service can be spotty). Old fashioned but clean and very functional. Bedrooms are small but have water views and plenty of windows for nice light and ventilation, and beds and linens are new or in good condition. Dressers and closets in all bedrooms (first floor queen bedroom has hooks for hangers but not closet).

Kitchen includes new counters, cabinets and fixtures, newly-sanded floor, and all customary kitchen equipment including microwave, washer & dryer, pots and pans, dishes and plenty of utensils. Bring your own bed linens and towels, we provide all pillows, blankets and quilts. (Linens and towels can be provided for an additional fee if notified in advance). Outdoor shower is heavenly !!

Property also includes outdoor adirondack chairs, a gas grill & charcoal grill, a wooden picnic table, and two outdoor umbrellas. Hammock is gone, as we lost two trees in the winter of 2021 storms. 6 beach chairs plus two boogie boards and foam noodles available for your use. Parking spaces for two cars, and additional guest spot may be available if needed but not guaranteed. Swing set for children and large grassy area in front of the cottages for outdoor play. Leashed dogs permitted for an additional $150 fee per dog. Professionally cleaned before and after each guest. Saturday-Saturday arrival and departure during peak summer weeks. Built-in electric heaters installed in master bedroom, living room and first floor hallway outside full bathroom which can also serve to heat the queen bedroom. All other rooms have portable electric heaters for warmth in the shoulder seasons.

Note - Although it may not appear so on the google map, the Pamet River flows right out to Cape Cod Bay, so you can take a kayak or canoe from our cottage, and paddle out to the bay beaches within a few short minutes, as well as stop along the way in Truro harbor, where you can moor or anchor larger boats !

Fantastic family destination. Also great for one couple or family, or as many as three couples, and extended families. Many repeat guests over many decades.

For a change of pace, please check out our one bedroom waterfront cottage in North Truro (#3506195), our 3 bedroom walk-to-water all season cape (#976979) and our charming 4 bedroom house in Woodstock, Vermont (#3809315), which is great in both winter (for skiing as it's near Killington, Pico & Okemo mountains) and summer/fall !

Delightful house and surroundings!
This was the seventh house we've stayed in on the Cape and it was all of our favorite. The location, view, and grounds are fabulous. The house is comfortable and cozy with wonderful water views, cross ventilation, a great outdoor shower and everything we needed to cook at home. The rooms/beds were comfortable and the house was very clean and didn't have the common musty smell. The owner was very quick to return emails. We enjoyed every aspect of it and would love to stay there again!

Perfect paddling spot
This is our second stay at Castleway. All year I anticipated the salty breeze and calming sight of the Pamet and it was as magnificent as I’d remembered. I love the quietude and old Cape essence of this place. I appreciate the thoughtful touches like the well outfitted kitchen and hammock. Already planning our next visit.

Vintage Cape Cod cottage on stunning tidal estuary
We enjoyed a glorious old-school outer Cape week at Castleway. Never tempted to turn on the TV, we paddled the Pamet, read books in the hammock strung beneath the lacy shade of locus trees, washed off salt and sand in the outdoor shower and made local seafood dinners in the well equipped kitchen. The full laundry was a handy and welcome upgrade for a vintage Cape cottage. The neighbors in the adjacent properties were congenial, family oriented and respectful. Bay and ocean beaches are 3 and 6 minutes away. We sought out a vacation spot with direct access to paddling on the Pamet estuary and the Castleway was a dream come true. We left rejuvenated and eager to return next year. Host Liz was so helpful and attentive. Wish we were still there!

As advertised - had a wonderful stay
The property was as advertised. Rustic, small and cozy, in a great location. Small bedrooms that would not sleep nine unless you had a few kids (luckily we only had 5 adults). Kitchen was well equipped. The outdoor shower was fabulous. Location is great close to Welfleet and Provincetown and Truro as well. Working with the host went very well. The 10:00 am check out was a little too early for us. And having to rent bedding and towels was unfortunate for people traveling from across the country. But that was all spelled out in the listing - so wasn't a surprise. We would happily return again.

Comfortable Cape cabin conveniently located in heaven
I can't say enough good things about the Sladeville cabins, and Castleway in particular. The setting on the marsh is spectacular, and the cabins are quaint as all get-up. Castleway in particular features some nice updates -- TV, strong WiFi, an outdoor shower and gas grill, comfortable chairs and sofa, an even picnic table. Thanks Liz and company for sharing this spot with us!

The Real Deal
If you're looking for a truly authentic cottage experience on the Lower Cape, I highly recommend that you consider this property. It's a very sweet place yet has all the conveniences that you expect - wifi, washer/dryer, a tv, etc. I love the tranquility of the setting yet Ptown is only a ten minute drive. Stay here!

Castleway
We love our time at Castleway Cottage on the beautiful Pamet River and are planning to return again soon. Perfect spot for well behaved dogs and the neighbors are, in my experience, respectful of your need for some peace and quiet and so that really helps to make it a lovely experience for observing the gorgeous nature surrounding you.
