If you turn left on Bayview Ave just before the beach and then stay to the right, you will come to an overlook area with parking that looks out over a beautiful marsh. It’s an incredible view!

Just a short walk from the cottage is Mill Pond where there is a boat yard that still builds wooden boats. It’s a lovely, quiet spot. Walk to the top of Silver Leaf Ave, turn left on Water St. Instead of turning right onto School St, continue on Water St until you come to a path down the hill to the pond.
