Description

Description

The stars at night are amazing as are the birds in the morning! This cozy cottage is perfect for a family of 3-4 or 2 couples. The kitchen, albeit small, is fully stocked (including lobster pot and crackers!), pour over coffee maker, stove and microwave. There is an indoor dining table and chairs for 4 as well as outdoor dining. There are hardwood floors, skylights, and vaulted ceilings. The indoor full bathroom has a shower (sorry, no bathtub), board games, wifi and TV with access to your Netflix, or other subscription services. If you must combine work with vacation, the three season room provides a separate workspace if needed.

This cottage is located in Pilgrim Acres - a quiet community of 7 cottages, and is nicely situated on a dirt road set away from the main road and the other cottages. It is a 5 minute walk to Chipman's cove where you can launch kayaks and less than a mile walk to beautiful Baker bay beach. Wellfleet center is a more ambitious walk but still less than an hour, and the bike path is accessible across Rt. 6 and within a mile from the cottage. The Wellfleet Drive-in/Flea Market, and the National Seashore are about 4 miles by car, Orleans Rotary is 10 miles and Provincetown is 15. Ask us about great places to explore on Cape Cod!

Enjoy your coffee on the deck before checking the tide clock on the wall and going to Pilgrim Springs Conservation area (500 feet away) for a short hike to the expansive tidal marsh. Afterward, pack up lunch and beach chairs (provided) and head to the bay beach down the street, or jump in the car and drive to the ocean ~ 2 miles away. Rinse off in the private outdoor shower and have cocktails while gas grilling on the deck!

We acknowledge the Nauset and Wôpanâak people on whose traditional land we gather in Wellfleet. We also acknowledge all Indigenous people of Cape Cod.

During the summer, this is a Sunday to Sunday rental. If you have a bigger group or have friends/family you would like to be close by-but not under the same roof, ask me about the sweet spot (2BR 1BA) next door.

    Little Dipper
    August 2024

    We just got back from our stay at Maureen's Little Dipper cottage. First I'd like to say the picture doesn't do the cottage justice. It's way cuter than the picture. Then you walk inside and and it's absolutely adorable! It was clean, and kitchen was fully stocked. It's very comfortable for 2 people. The bed and couch were super comfy! Then it has a little enclosed porch where you can paint or write. The back yard was so sweet … exactly what you would imagine a cape cod yard to look like.
    I would highly recommend this cottage for 1 or 2 people. Maureen was a dream to work with as well. Very responsive. Never had to wait long for a response. You will not be disappointed!,

    Extremely quiet and peaceful. Stayed 2 weeks and didn't want to leave! The kitchen was small, but had everything we needed. Perfect location.

    Perfectly quaint
    July 2023

    I had a great stay at the Little Dipper! Maureen's cottage was perfect for me - a solo traveller - while I was "working from home" and enjoying the beauty of the Outer Cape. The house was comfortable, well-appointed, and bright. I loved the outdoor deck and the proximity to the beach (I recommend bringing your bikes for a fun ride). I would definitely stay again.

    Adorable and peaceful
    January 2024

    This little cottage was the perfect choice to get the classic cape cod experience. This beach cottage is engulfed in the surrounding greenery and has bright lighting throughout the day. It's super close to beaches ponds and the bay. Will definitely be returning to Maureen's cottage.

    Little Dipper
    June 2023

    We were looking to a calm place, and this is what we found in that cottage. Maureen really take care of her renters by sending to us an e-mail asking if everything was ok for us.

    Another Wonderful Cape visit @ the Little Dipper.
    January 2024

    3 of us got away for a long weekend in the "shoulder" season in May.

    The cottage is cozy and comfortable and clean as can be. The 2 beds and the pullout sofa were very comfortable. The upgrades since our last stay made it even more enticing to schedule our next visit- the new deck is even better than before and the outdoor shower is the perfect way to start or end the day.

    We love the little shops and restaurants in Wellfleet as well as the plethora of wonderful beaches and hiking spots that are so close to the cottage. We were there before Labor Day so we did more exploring outside of Wellfleet this time- enjoying a visit to Provincetown and to Orleans.

    Maureen was helpful & quick to respond to questions and made great recommendations for places to visit. Can't wait to get back in 2024.

    too close for comfort
    January 2023

    The cottage is very clean and cute. If you like to have a good time and enjoy the outdoors with friends and family on a warm summer night.....this cottage is not for you.The cottages are all in a cluster and you can hear EVERYTHING with in the area and everyone can hear you. If you like a very quiet place, you'll fit right in. Anyone who likes to enjoy a summer night outside with music and drinks will be reported to the landlord.

    Owner Response:

    Thanks for noting that our cottage is very clean, our awesome cleaning crew works hard to keep it very clean for all guests. And I'm glad the listing was accurate. You are absolutely correct that loud music and loud conversation late into the night are not the norm in our neighborhood. We love our cottage community and it means the world to us that we respect our neighbors.

    Cozy comfort @ Little Dipper
    August 2022

    We had a lovely stay at Little Dipper. It was cozy for four of us, but we easily made it work. The cottage is well stocked and equipped (including a great gas grill), super clean, and quiet. We loved being so close to Indian Neck. Parking was convenient. And Maureen was thoughtful and responsive and a delight to work with. Highly recommend it for a small family group.

    Great spot
    July 2022

    This was a super place for one to two people to stay. The outdoor area in back was private and sweet, and I adored the outdoor shower. Even though the cottage is part of a group of cottages, it was quite and felt private. I would (and plan to) stay here again!

    I have been visiting Cape Cod and my family has rented cottages every single summer since I was a small child, and for years, my parents rented the same cottage year after year. My now grown children have been coming with me ever since they were born, and we have rented cottages similar to The Little Dipper every year. Just recently we finally had the opportunity to purchase a cottage and found this charmer. Now we look forward to sharing this little slice of heaven with others when we can't be there to enjoy it ourselves. We hope you love it as much as we do and you make this your summer spot year after year!

    What is special about this property?
    The thing I love best about the cottage is the plethora of birds in the trees around the property. I love having coffee surrounded by the lovely sounds they make. My kids love stargazing while sitting on the deck--on a clear night you can see a million stars in the sky. The cottage is bright in the living, dining and kitchen areas, and the bedrooms are on the back side and not nearly as bright -- great for sleeping in. While it has a sofa sleeper for 2 more people, the space is small and most comfortable for 4. It has everything we need when we stay, and we hope that you enjoy your visit. Please let us know if you think we missed anything!

    What is special about your town?
    Wellfleet has the best beaches on Cape Cod! It is much less crowded than other parts of the Cape, and yet has just about everything you need. The drive-in and flee market have always been a favorite of my family, and on rainy days the Cinema comes in handy. The restaurants are great and in the past few years, some new additions have expanded on the older classics that have been around--and still deliver great food. The Indian Neck neighborhood is unique in that there are many places to get to without getting in the car - spectacular hikes, biking, gorgeous beaches and interesting kayaking spots. In fact, you can kayak over to Mac's on the Pier pretty easily, and there is a way to walk to town that does not require going on Route 6, which is always a plus. We love this particular area of Wellfleet and hope that you do too!
