We enjoyed the back yard oasis with the pet friendly fenced in back yard, Clear Pond access and walking trails. Location was in a friendly neighborhood, and close to the Harbor for seafood dining and attractions. Very relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere.
This was my family’s first time to Plymouth, and our stay at Clear Pond was so nice! The place was clean and the hostess Debbie was great! We would love to come back again and stay here soon!
A beautiful spot on a small pond. The bathrooms and bunkbed rooms do not have alot of space. Other than that a very comfortable place. The host is super friendly. The price is very much on target.
We would recommend this Clear Pond Gettaway.
We stayed here during a horse show and the property is well stocked to have a comfortable stay. There is a dedicated area in the yard where you can enjoy a campfire, outdoor dining or sitting by the pond. The owner was extremely accommodating after we mentioned the outdoor light outside our window was on all night. She said they kept it on for the guests who need to go out at night and then provided a covering over the outside of the window which was a perfect solution. Would def stay here again.
We came with our dog and our daughter, the apartment was beautifully decorated, the grounds looked like a part with a beautiful pond/lake. My dog and my daughter enjoyed the water. There were kayaks and small boats to go out onto the water. The owners and their dog were lovely, met every need, very responsive and our pup loved playing with their pup!! We will be back, so welcoming, so fun, an amazing place to detune after horse showing.
We had a great stay. The property is very relaxing. The owner was friendly upon arrival then let us do our thing. Would definitely come back again. Thank you!!
We had a wonderful time! Debbie was very friendly. Her dog Bailey is so cute! We kayaked, did some fishing, enjoyed to beautiful views by the pond! The outside property is very nice and well maintained. The inside of the unit was cozy, beds were comfy. Definitely a nice place to stay!

This was a beautiful property. Our host was very gracious!
This was a lovely place to stay, and my family had a very nice, relaxing week. We stayed through the Fourth of July and even saw a few fireworks! My two little kids loved the beach and playing in the huge living room area. Debbie, the host, was very responsive and was at the property off and on throughout the week. There are four units in the house, so there's some interaction with the other guests, who share the beach and yard. But there is plenty of outdoor seating and quite a few boats, so we were never competing for anything with the other people staying. There was a blue green algae bloom in the pond while we were there, so we couldn't go swimming. Nothing the host could do about that, since it's a pretty common risk for fresh water ponds in the summer. We still had fun boating, and there are ocean beaches 10-15 minutes away. So, unfortunate, but it didn't ruin the trip. Overall, great little place to stay. We'd visit again!
We were expecting more out in the woods, however once on the other side of the fence facing the pond you forgot you were part of a neighborhood. The master bed although comfortable was a challenge getting into. So I lived 2 fairy tales Snow White and the one dwarf, The entrance was stepping down into the cottage I felt (not a complaint, explaining the atmosphere) like Snow White. And the very tall bed made me think AH The Princess and the Pea. It is 10/15 minutes from everything I liked that.
Check in was ok, we brought 2 dogs disclosure prior to our trip with owner. We understood terms and conditions and cost per night. Owner stated in email I’ll only charge you for one dog. We are fur friendly and own a dog. We are n agreement.
Upon check in the price was doubled and she mentions payment by Venmo or cash. That was not mentioned prior to stay.
Day 1 we leave for our baseball tournament. Get to the field 20 minutes there owner calls and states my dogs are out of control and barking. I ask if neighbors dogs are barking she claims no. I said my dogs bark when they hear another dog. She says I have to get my dogs now because the other tenants are trying to sleep they were up for a wedding.
I mentioned my dogs would stop if other dogs stop barking. She requested I pick up my dogs immediately. I’m 45 minutes away I get to the house and my dogs are not even winning or barking. I ask are you sure it was neighbors dogs the barking. She a states well maybe. I get my dogs after many comments about other tenants how loud they were @ 3am in the driveway. We didn’t appreciate it but we didn’t complain.
Now owner says I’ll watch your dogs. We said no we will take care of them.
She tried to put everything back to normal but it was too late. Already missed my kids ball game that they won.
Night 2 all tenants were up @ 3am which is why my dogs were up. Washer and dryer running all night above us. Not a great place we felt unwanted we left a day early call and TX Deb no answer.

Clear Pond Getaway Inn review
The “Inn” apartment is a finished daylight basement in a residential neighborhood with two small bedrooms (total ~200 sf) one with a queen bed with access just on one side and the other with a set of bunk beds. The 17 by 21 ft living room has another sofa bed. Ceilings are 7’9” high. The toilet closet and shower closet (each 24 sf) are entered as a step up off the living room and down the hall away from the master bedroom. The shower ceiling is low—anyone taller than 6’1” will have a hard time fitting into it. There are a total of five windows four feet above the floor that look up to the shrubs/driveway outside. The kitchen had a toaster, microwave, small oven/range, fridge, and coffee maker. Cookware included just frying pan with a loose handle and a few miscellaneous pots and pans made it tough for cooking. No sponge or scrubby to do dishes (we bought some and left them). No foil or saran wrap was available and salt and pepper were basically the only spices in the cupboard.
The apartment was pretty quiet at night during our early March stay, but we could hear someone crossing the floor above us occasionally and we hoped that our TV was not too loud. The living room has an electric fireplace that gave off a pleasant glow but no heat. The spacious backyard adjacent to trail and pond had plenty of seats and would be an enjoyable place to hang out in warmer weather. Internet connection was strong.
Overall, we felt that this was pretty expensive (about $170/night when all fees included) for the quality of the space. It was a bit worn, was clean but not immaculate, and we hadn’t expected to be below grade. We never met the owner but access to the space was easy and communication was clear.

Very good hostess
We were not expecting to have basement lodgings and it was a bit damp and musty. Our hostess did everything she could to improve the situation even offering to switch accommodations with another guest. It was rainy which didn't help. I would suggest replacing carpets. Our stay was fine but disappointing in that the pond had a sign no swimming due to high bacteria level.. the site is beautiful and a great place for kids. Very pretty lake and view . Super nice hostess. Ellen
The backyard was absolutely awesome with gorgeous views of the pond. There were kayaks and a paddle boat available to use. There was a path through the woods that led to a reclaimed cranberry bog. Beautiful walk. The yard was fully fenced in making it perfect for my dog and I. The Apartment was clean And comfortable. It was very well stocked and had Pretty much everything you would need. The owner was very friendly and Accommodating. My dog and I had a wonderful Stay and would certainly choose this location again!
My daughter and grandson stayed the weekend, it was supposed to be my family, however covid kept us in SC. So rather than lose the money, my daughter and grandson took a mini vacation. She told me the place was beautiful, she said she took my grandson out for a hike, and he slept like a log, while she relaxed and read. I wish we could have been there, but my son and daughter in law tested positive 3 days before, and my husband and I on the friday we were to arrive. since we couldn't reschedule and I was going to lose the money, I had my daughter enjoy some quiet with her little boy. another time.
We had an enjoyable time and liked the apartment set up of the space. The bathroom was oddly configured with the toilet and sink in one room and the shower in a separate room next to it. The shower could be problematic for taller people (fortunately we are not, so it was fine). We loved the access to the trail for walking our dog. The beach is lovely as well.
Quiet off season with beautiful view and nature walk
Lovely views of pond with a long yard down to the shore, fantastic walk to a nature conservancy bog with blackbirds singing merrily. Fully equipped kitchen was very nice too!
After spending so much time at home over these past months, this property was perfect. The space was comfortable and the location right on a nature path was excellent! We hope to come back in the summer to take advantage of the pond and all the activities of owner offers
