About this property

Unique Waterfront Artist Cottage

Once a horse stable, Lil Rose now sleeps up to five just a short walk from a private beach. PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: Rentals in season (April-October) are only offered by the week (Saturday-Saturday). November rentals are offered with a 4-night minimum. Rentals December-March are offered with a 3-night minimum. Pets are accepted but you MUST let us know in your booking request about your pet so that we can prepare the property.

Sleeps 5 (1 queen, 1 full, 1 twin)Lil Rose was once a small horse stable. The cottage now consists of a large room divided to provide a smaller room that houses a "working man's" twin bed. During the winter of 2014, a separate cottage (8x10) was completed, giving Lil Rose a very private second bedroom. In the main space there is a Cape kitchen with a 4-burner stove and 1/2 refrigerator, a table for 2 or 3, a queen sized custom platform bed, comfortable couch, stereo TV and DVD player, wi-fi, and lots of windows on the surrounding foliage which includes black pine, olive trees and wild beach plantings. A fireplace was added to the stable, enhancing its off season ambience! Lil Rose now works well for a maximum of a couple with two children or an occasional guest but should be "family." There is a Queen size bed, a Full (Lil Rose) and a Twin available for Guests. There is an inside shower room and a bath room in The Stable. An outside terrace features deck chairs, a picnic table, a charcoal grill, a very private outdoor shower, and a permanent fire pit. Although a dune blocks the Stable from having a bay view, you can hear the surf at night and a private path puts you at the top of the dune in less than a minute. The cottage is fully insulated, the interior has been completely finished in 18th century barnboard painted white, and is fully heated. It is comfortable year round.

You'll have access to a private beach just seconds from Lil Rose, shared only with guests of the other two cottages.

Truro is a great small town surrounded by the Cape Cod National Seashore, freshwater ponds, hiking trails, and great restaurants. It's just a 15-minute drive to downtown Provincetown where you'll find nightlife, galleries, theater, and whale watching.

Charming Old Cape Cod.
A wonderful week of winter solitude on Cape Cod. What’s that term the kids use? OG. This is Original Gangster Cape Cod. Clean, simple, quiet, and original. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. We walked the beach alone. Watched the sunset alone. We even visited a few galleries alone. An epic winter recharge. Thank you!

Lil Rose
I would really like to speak with owner/management…the property really seems to need some serious love…From outside the cottage to inside(pot holes in driveway/parking lot, no lighting in parking area to get into cottage, poorly maintained yard/gardens, many areas looking like they need a fresh coat of paint, windows should open and stay that way without the need of a stick, furniture not comfortable, inside walls dirty, linens did not smell clean, refrigerator does not work…milk went sour in two days, wires and extension cords everywhere making one wonder how safe electrical workings really are, one night all inside lights were blinking so we sat in the dark, toaster oven got so hot making toast we had to shut it off as it was giving off an electrical burning smell, fruit flies everywhere, curtains are yellow and I’m sure they started out white, there was a constant large partial white dust falling all the time, …We are hoping that things will turn the overall look and functioning of the property around…We would have a tough time recommending a stay at Lil Rose to friends…

We loved our stay at the tiny rose cottage. It is rustic, but private and quiet. The access to the bay is lovely. We enjoyed having our dog with us.

Perfect thanksgiving getaway
We had a lovely time at this little stable cabin by the beach. We loved that we could leave the house and immediately be on the beach, or drive just a few minutes and be in downtown Provincetown. The heat in the cabin worked wonderfully. We had some issues with the internet when we first arrived, but Jane was extremely responsive and helpful in fixing these. Thanks to this cozy little cabin, we had a perfect Thanksgiving.

Like glamping
These are two tiny cottages on a bluff above a beautiful private beach. Accommodations are quite simple, but the beds are comfortable, the sheets are good quality and there is AC for those hot summer nights. Only a half fridge, so not really suitable for cooking. If you don’t mind a glamping experience, this is for you. We had a lovely time.

Perfect, private and peaceful!
Our cottages were so charming! The location is remarkable and both cottages fit our family (2 adults, 21 year y/o and 18 y/o) and pets perfectly. Perfect for quiet, quality family time. We all loved how close the beach is, perfect to bundle up for a peaceful walk. Thank you for sharing this beautiful spot with us.

A little fantasy
This location was private, it felt like we were on our own property. We were able to enjoy preparing meals with local produce, a fire in the fireplace every night, and plenty of hikes to incredible scenic places. So comfortable, cozy, warm, everything we needed was there! Cant wait to go back!

This rustic cottage was exactly what we were looking for for a winter weekend getaway: a cozy, private space; a warm fire; so close to the beach; comfortable accommodations. Quick drive to P'town for food and wandering. We are looking forward to many return visits!

Absolutely entrancing location
If you want a perfectly charming, old fashioned seaside cottage, this is your place. It was like walking into a storybook cottage with a wonderful feeling of remoteness. We walked the little path to the beach everyday where we could explore in perfect solitude. We built a fire each day in the cottage and enjoyed sitting by it drinking wine. I just can’t say enough about our lovely time here...a perfect, much needed getaway!

Cozy Cabin Steps from Never-ending Beach
I truly enjoyed my stay. It was cozy and quiet. The cabin was magical inside and out. The property was right above the beach. The beach went on forever. The only thing I didn't like was the cold wind. It chased me off the beach and back to the warmth of the fireplace more than once. I highly recommend this getaway adventure.

A step back in time
Stepping into the ‘Stable’ was like being transported back to the 17th or 18th century, but with all the modern conveniences. We were so cozy and comfy that we hardly left the cottage. Nette and Jane were available for recommendations as well as questions. They both checked in several times to makes sure we were warm enough. The enormous supply of wood allowed us to have a wonderful fire each evening, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. It was the perfect space for us and Sam, our yellow lab. We can hardly wait until we can return

Christmas in the Cottage
Outstanding Holiday spent in an adorable cottage full of character! Full of charm, warm and toasty with a great little fireplace. Jane was very accommodating and ensured that we had everything we needed. We felt as though we were nestled in the Holiday Seasons of old - walking, writing, painting, reading, talking... so grateful for this amazing escape filled with great character.

I am pleased to welcome you to Lil Rose, my magical home away from home. I own an integrative medical and healing arts community in New York City and my time at Lil Rose recharges me so I can provide my best self to my clients. I began spending summer vacations here and it pained me having to wait a full year to return, so I extended my visits to the other three seasons. My time at Lil Rose is always restorative and life affirming. I am blessed to have found this gem and I am delighted to share my little piece of heaven with you.
