Fisherman's Farmhouse - Perfect for families or large groups
Chatham Vacation Rental - ID 4219

We were searching for a last-minute opening at the Cape for a vacation to coincide with family members who were staying nearby. We got very lucky with the last-minute cancellation at this property. The home was even more than we could have imagined. They had absolutely everything that we needed to have a great stay for several families with little kids. Our kids loved the toy room the fenced in backyard. The back deck space was great for a relaxing coffee in the morning and dinner by night. The kitchen was furnished with all you could need and was spacious with a great island for the kids to sit at while we cooked. Not having to worry about linens was a huge plus. The house is in a very convenient location with lots to do nearby. We hope to be back next year!

My partner and I spent a week last September at Fisherman's Farmhouse. We typically like to try new places to stay on the Cape, but we enjoyed this house so much that we booked it again for a week this year! The house feels like home while you're there…plus, our dog loves the space and fenced-in yard. The kitchen is fantastic, and there's so much space that would make this a perfect spot for a family vacation or group of friends who want to relax. The location is ideal to experience all Chatham has to offer, and it's close to all the other towns to explore!

We loved this house! Its so cozy and perfect for a week with family on the Cape. Location is amazing- quick drive to two great beaches. Quick drive to town. Great yard and lounging areas. Outdoor shower is amazing. Highly recommend.

I can't say enough about the stay at Fisherman's Farmhouse.

-The first thing I will touch on is the location. Do not be concerned about the address being on a main road. It does not feel that way at all. Minimal noise the combination of back and side yard give plenty of outdoor space without risk for the kids or dog. We walked to multiple restaurants, including Mom and Pops multiple times since their outdoor patio allowed us to bring the dog for lunch.

-The owner has truly gone above and beyond with outfitting the house with anything you would need. The only thing we couldn't find at first was the grill brush (it's inside the outdoor coffee table, fyi).
- We had this house for a family of 4 and a dog, but when our extended family needed to leave their rental for 1 night, they were able to stay with us with plenty of room for all 10 of us.

Thanks Matt and family for a great stay. Looking forward to coming back!

We had a great time at the Fisherman's Farmhouse. The house had everything we needed, even toys and a playroom for the kids. The yard was fenced in and perfect for our dog. And the location was perfect, just a few minutes to the center of town and Ridgevale beach. Great place to stay!

Our group had the best time at the fisherman's farmhouse this summer. It was in such a convenient location, close to both Chatham and Harwich village and 3 local beaches. Matt was always available and was easy to communicate with both before and during our stay. The house itself is charming and the kitchen is nice and spacious. I personally loved the outdoor shower as well. Looking forward to coming back next summer!

This property was in a great location, close to beaches and the center of Chatham! The home has everything you need to relax, plenty of room to spread out for young and old, great deck too! Kitchen has everything you need if you want to eat in!

We found the home to be very clean and inviting upon arrival. The home had a lot of charm and character. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the back deck and large table. It was very relaxing and peaceful to sit outside. The bedrooms were very spacious and air conditioned. It was also ideal to have the fenced in yard for our golden retriever who loves to be on vacation with us.

It was also very easy by car to get into town and shop, eat out or go to Chatham Angler baseball games. We would definitely return to this home for future rentals.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Fisherman's Farmhouse. The house is lovely. It offers a well equipped, modern kitchen. Bathrooms are charming with ample supplies of towels and linens. This was our second stay because the house is also child friendly with many games, a great toy room and a fenced in back yard. The back deck is great for outdoor dining which was our choice. However, the large indoor dining table accommodated us all as well.
The house is truly centrally located to both Harding's and Ridgevale beaches, close to Oyster Pond and town.

My fiance and I just returned from an amazing week in Chatham--and we had the most wonderful time at the Fisherman's Farmhouse! Truly an oasis, the farmhouse is in the heart of Chatham, and easily accessible to many Cape favorites. When you walk through the front door, you can see all the love and work put into this gem of a home. Amenities were abundant, from the beautiful gourmet kitchen, to games, linens/towels and cleaning supplies. There was plenty of room and parking to host my family for the first weekend.

We soaked up our days at the Beachcomber and local beaches, relished in the amazing outdoor shower, and enjoyed homemade meals featuring seafood from the Chatham Fish Pier. My favorite part of our days were sitting on the private patio under the nicely-lit pergola with our two pups, enjoying the dog days of summer. Matt was very responsive, understanding, and a pleasure throughout the whole rental process. As our family cherishes our old Cape Cod memories, we look forward to potentially making new amazing memories at the Fisherman's Farmhouse ! We can't wait to return!

Fisherman's Farmhouse was very comfortable for our two families, with lots of space to spread out downstairs. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to cook full dinners in the updated kitchen, cleaning supplies, as well as beach chairs and games for indoor & outdoor fun. The unique artistic touches, puzzles & book collection was also enjoyed by all. Thank you!

Our 2 families thoroughly enjoyed fisherman's farmhouse over a week long stay. The house itself was the perfect size, clean and conveniently located from 2 great beaches on the sound, restaurants and the town of Chatham.

Great back deck, very private and relaxing. Kids room got a lot of use, bigger than the pictures. The decor really made us feel we were on the Cape. Would definitely rent again, thanks for a great week!

The listing states it perfect for families or large groups and such was the case for the 3 families in our relatively large group - 6 adults & 5 children. The house was more than adequately equipped with everything that could possibly be needed for a great vacation in Chatham, MA (One of my favorite places on the planet):

Items for fun included plenty of beach chairs, a chest full of outdoor games like ring toss, a upright piano, and a kids game room plus an array of board games for those rainy days not to mentioned plenty of televisions if you're into that. There was nothing lacking in the kitchen for meal preparation, outdoor BBQ included, and the kitchen even came equipped with a pot large enough to fit 4 lobsters in the 2 to 2&1/2 lbs. range. Very well stocked with bath towels and the laundry facilities were perfect. The outdoor shower was simply amazing. Good proximity to beaches and the town.

Would definitely recommend this a great place to rent for families with children and will certainly consider this for my future vacations.

We have stayed numerous times at the Cape in the same rental. Could not book this year and it was definitely a great twist of fate because we found this home! It is located in a great area with ample parking. Love has been poured into this home and it is very tasteful. But it is the kitchen where we jumped for joy. Beautifully equipped, all you could possibly want for cooking some of our best meals...kept us from going out every night! Bedding was comfortable and ample baths. Outdoor shower was a hit. Artistic touches throughout and to be honest, we did feel at home. A relaxing week and we will book this home again. Thanks for being so accommodating

We have been vacationing in Chatham for over ten years and this was by far our worst rental experience. The house was extremely dirty even though the cleaners were still on site when we arrived. It smelled like they dumped an entire bottle of Pine Sol in the front porch, likely to mask the smell of dog urine where a large dog crate is kept. We swept large piles of dust, wrappers, and old dog bones out from under the living room couch and chairs. The playroom was completely unusable as it had large rodent droppings (most likely raccoon) all over as well as broken wood and exposed nails. The "linens included" was a pile of mismatched sheets and old towels shoved into an open shelf. We ended up cleaning the entire house ourselves and purchasing mattress pads, sheets, and towels just to feel comfortable staying. The owners did refund the cleaning fee and paid for the mattress pads and sheets we purchased, but it was a huge disappointment that our one hard earned vacation of the year was spent at this dirty, unsafe house.

Our family has been coming to the Cape for 15+ years and we've never been this disappointed. The house wasn't clean, wasn't well-kept, and the pictures were deceiving.

This house was absolutely perfect for my best girlfriends and I. We rented this house for a week over the 4th of July and it was perfect for the 10 of us! Each of us had a bed and there was room to spare! The outdoor deck was perfect for grilling and relaxing and you feel right at home being there. The backyard was private and secluded and also this location could not be more convenient. We will definitely be going back for years to come!

From the moment we arrived, I was relieved how much time I spent researching the perfect rental because this house was so good on paper, it made me nervous until the moment we stepped foot inside. It was a perfect layout for us.

This family has created the ultimate vacation getaway house. The easy accessibility of this house from the main road, number of bedrooms, gourmet kitchen, fenced back yard, proximity to both downtown & beaches, tranquility of the backyard, made our stay truly excellent. It was the first time a rental checked every box for us and still was an affordable price!

I typically don't spend time in the kitchen when we are on vacation, but this beautifully appointed kitchen was a pleasure to cook in. The dining room is huge and seats 12+ people, though we are only six, so the extra space felt luxurious. The living room and separate playroom were such a bonus when we wanted to watch a movie and relax, but still wanted the younger children be close enough by to keep an eye on.

We loved the fact that we didn't have to bring linens, an iron, pots/pans or beach towels. This family house is literally stocked with everything you could possibly need.

Thank you again to Matt & Linda for opening your home as a rental. We simply could not have wished for anything else during our stay!

We loved every minute of this vacation! The house is exactly what the pictures show. The outdoor shower was our favorite!

We loved that the house is in the middle of two great beaches (Harding's & Ridgevale) for young kids. The bike trail was a half mile away. My husband and I hopped on it a few mornings and rode in to downtown Chatham for breakfast.
We rented kayaks from Chatham Kayak with our daughters (6&8yr old) and explored Stage Harbor and Oyster Pond.

There is so much to do that we need 2 weeks next time!

From our Guestbook:
Sadly our Fourth of July was spent indoors, but the rest of our stay was beautiful! We enjoyed a different beach every day from Dennis to Wellfleet but our favorite was Cahoon Hollow beach - we were able to bring our dog and enjoy lunch at the beachcomber. We've been coming to the cape for years but this was our first stay in Chatham, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

From our Guestbook:
13 years at Fisherman's Farmhouse :-)
Catching a few keepers - Striped Bass & Cooking them up!
What a beautiful new kitchen to enjoy! Thank you so very much Linda & Matt.
Family from Montana, New Jersey & Florida joined us for some days - great family time!

From our Guestbook:
We too had three generations - 5 under 5 - who had the greatest time at Chatham. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful house and making our family vacation a great success.

From our Guestbook and email:
Three generations - including two babies had a great 4th of July in Chatham. Everyday at Ridgevale beach! Thank you so much for lending us your great house!
Just wanted to thank you for a great Chatham Fourth of July. It was my retirement present to myself. The house was perfect for us - My 5 year old granddaughter and I read "Pirate in a Bottle" which started a week on the high seas. She listened to all 24 chapters of "Treasure Island" - bought cutlasses, and one cloudy morning the Whale Room became the Hispanola as we escaped from Long John Silver. Seals, crabs, lots of chowder and 6 trips to Ridgevale Beach completed our wonderful week. Thanks again so much - two of my children were away on their honeymoon so we will try to return next year

We have been going to the Fisherman's Farmhouse for over ten years each May. It has been a great gathering home for our family, relatives and guests. We love that it has the warmth of an antique, yet it has all the amenities you would want on vacation to have a great time. We do lots of fishing and biking while we are there, so we especially love the front porch where we can stash all our fishing gear and waders. My elderly mother loves to sit on the secluded back deck and read a book in the sunshine. The kids love a game of volleyball or croquet in the yard.We have really enjoyed the updating that Linda and Matt have done since they purchased the property.We have had a very easy time working with the owners and we would definately recommend it...but don't you dare try to rent it during our weeks at the end of May!!!!
