About Us

Greetings from Cape Cod and the Bunnell family - and welcome to our website!  We are the owners of Anchorage on the Cove, and we love our corner of the Cape.  Our family takes great pride in how we've transformed this wonderful spot - from a diamond in the rough, to one of the crown jewels of the Outer Cape.

Who are we ? Our family consists of Kathy and Dennis and son Jon who recently left the Cape to become a scout for the New York Mets.   We "old folks" bring a mix of experience in other fields - the paper industry, publishing, higher education, and international business. Dennis and Kathy fell in love with the spot, and purchased the property in 1998.  

Our manager, Sheryl Benson, brings an enthusiasm, competence, and graciousness to Anchorage on the Cove.  Her love of the Cape is contagious.  Ask her about the best beaches, where the best fishing is, and how to get a clamming permit.  She'll make you feel right at home.  

Interested in fishing? Jon and his father are also accomplished fishermen. As a matter of fact, if you look closely at the photo on the home page, you'll see the two of them fishing the flats of Town Cove, just steps away from our dock. (That's Foremast Cottage on the left; Bell Buoy is just out of view on the right.)  

How's the hospitality? Ask us about fishing, restaurants, biking, art galleries, whale watching - you get the idea.  We're knowledgeable and get a big kick out of seeing our guests enjoy their vacations.

What's the place like? The buildings at Anchorage on the Cove were originally built in the 1930s - the weathered shingles epitomize "old Cape Cod," now transformed to fit the needs of today. Three of our four cottages have decks right out over the water. We're proud of the fact that we continue to attract many returning guests over the years. Adults come back telling stories of growing up at Anchorage on the Cove, spending time here each summer as children and teenagers. Now they're bringing their own children and creating a new generation of memories.

We're also proud of the many new marriages that have begun here, and of the honeymooners who keep a fond spot in their heart for us.  Some even continue to send us postcards and tell us news of their growing families.  

Website Photos  People ask about the photos in our website. Yes, they were all taken on our property.  In fact, you've actually had a preview of a stay with us!

Thank you for taking the time to visit us.
