Captain Seth Sparrow House & Cottage

About The Captain Seth Sparrow House (and Cottage)

About the MAIN HOUSE

Make memories at this private family and pet-friendly 3 BR Orleans antique Cape Cod home with access to Arey’s Pond. Kayak and paddle-board directly to Little Pleasant Bay and beyond. The property was once home to the town pub on Old County Road en route to Orleans. Enjoy the wrap-around 3 season porch. Antique home with bath and other renovations just completed for the 2023 rental season. We want to share this unique property with those who appreciate the history. Please ask questions!

This is a very authentic antique Cape Cod home. The rooms are small, the stairs are steep, but the baths and kitchen have some updates to add a modern touch to help you enjoy your stay. The tilt top game console on the 3 season porch offers 3505 retro video games, the 350 yd path out back leads right to Arey's Pond, and the location is super private and couldn’t be better, honestly! We hope you’ll enjoy your stay and return time and time again to OLD Cape Cod!
