When you visit Cape Cod for the first time, you will find that the majority of the activities you engage in will take place outside, including during your Chatham vacation. The town is popular for its many ways to play, including 9 public beaches, a national wildlife refuge, and bike trails that will lead you through the most scenic parts of town. And although the most popular bike trail on Cape Cod (Cape Cod Rail Trail) doesn’t run through Chatham, it does come close, making this guide to our Cape Cod Chatham vacation rentals near all the bike trails a really helpful one!

Easy Access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail and Local Cycling Paths
The Cape Cod Rail Trail is a major one, stretching out over 25 miles, and even though it doesn’t extend through Chatham, we do offer many properties in the 7 towns it runs through. Our town is located just over 8 miles from the trail, making it a viable option, especially since the Old Colony Rail Trail DOES connect to it.
Starting from Depot Road in Central Chatham, riders can start their journey with an 8-mile ride that connects to the Cape Cod Rail Trail at the bike rotary (roundabout) in Harwich. Also, you will find that many of our Chatham, MA vacation home rentals lie along the Chatham Scenic Bike Loop, another 8-mile-long bike trail. This last trail will take you past our town’s top landmarks, including the Chatham Lighthouse, Oyster Pond, and Shore Road, where the best views of the Atlantic can be seen.
Secure Storage, Garages, and Space for Cycling Gear
If biking is your hobby, you know the importance of keeping your bike locked safely away and that helmets are vital. Parents with young children may need a bike trailer, and larger families will need more than one bike to share the experience. In smaller spaces, or ones less well designed, this could be a problem, but in our Cape Cod vacation rentals in Chatham, it’s a non-issue. Our Chatham cottage rentals are spacious, equipped with secure storage areas, including garages, and all the room you need to store your cycling gear between rides.
If you don’t bring your own equipment on vacation, Wheelhouse Bike Co is a great place to rent from, offering bikes, gear, and even trail maps to help you find your way.

Chatham, MA Vacation Home Rentals with Flexible Layouts and Outdoor Gathering Space
No two vacations are alike, and the flexible layouts of our Cape Cod Chatham vacation rentals will ensure that everyone finds everything they need. Mother-in-law suites can make it comfortable for grandma to come along for the fun, game rooms give the adults a chance to separate from the teens, and large, private suites may include a deep soaking tub to relieve aching muscles after a long ride. Even better? Our outdoor spaces are designed to provide even more gathering space and may even include fire pits, hot tubs, and swimming pools for more vacation fun.
Beaches, Nature Walks, and Attractions Just Minutes Away
Prime location is a key feature of our Chatham, MA vacation home rentals. Some of our vacation retreats are located right on Hardings Beach, which is popular for its kayak launch spot and its lifeguard-protected waters. Chatham is known for its nature walks, including the Morris Island Trail that takes hikers past dunes, salt marshes, and pine trees. And the most popular attraction in town would have to be the Chatham Lighthouse, but don’t forget that the Jonathan Young Windmill in Orleans won’t be far from your rental, either.
