Really, just an ideal setting whatever your reason for visiting Provincetown, but the cottage is but a 5-minute walk to Fine Arts Work Center on Pearl Street. I took a poetry workshop there, and Rose Bud was my sweet abode for the week. It has the magical quality of being absolutely in the center of town and only steps from all kinds of action and amenities (Bradford and Commercial Streets, the town beach) while at the same time being nestled inside a kind of secret garden that offers privacy and seclusion—the perfect nook for writing.
The cottage is just as presented: neat, clean, well-appointed, utterly charming. Lots of wonderful natural light.
The queen bed in the bedroom, which has just the space to get around all 3 sides of the bed and a comfortable chair in one corner, is very comfortable and made up with nice bed linens, including a duvet with cover that is removed and washed after each guest.
The small kitchen has a full size fridge, 4-burner stovetop, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffeemaker and keurig. I prepared almost all of my meals there, with the exception of a couple of evening meals out.
The bathroom, like everything else, seems newly appointed and freshly painted. It is very small, my only caveat. I am a fairly small person and really noticed how little room there was to maneuver in there, something to think about if someone in your party is larger.
Otherwise, it’s lovely! I will be back for future FAWC courses and hope to stay in Rose Bud again!
