A Home away from Home

We enjoyed the clean spacious living conditions that could sleep 10 people comfortably. Really enjoyed the spacious kitchen where we congregated the most. It was a home that was very comfortable and had many perks. It was also nice that the Renters Guide was very helpful.

Perfect

This is a beautiful and comfortable home. Very well furnished and great location. The tennis courts were enjoyed by our Adult kids every morning and evening. It would be hard to find anything nicer.

Lovely House, Great Location

We had a terrific experience in this house for one week in late July. While everything in Orleans and the mid-Cape is close at hand (beaches, ponds, conservation land, historic sites, shops, restaurants), the quiet road is extremely restful. It's truly silent and dark at night! The house itself is charming, combining a very old historic portion and attractive newer additions. Lots of room to spread out, even for a group. The big, modern eat-in kitchen is a natural space to convene. Communications with the owner were very friendly and helpful in all phases of contact, booking and occupancy. This place is a rare find, giving you a sense of true departure and privacy while putting you close to a wide variety of resources and activities.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Pihl

We are an American/Swedish family who knew instantly that this would be the perfect summer house for us with 3 kids and rotating guests. We loved the antique charm and layout of the house, and of course the tennis/pickleball court! Kids running in and out of the house, people playing tennis, board games or simply reading in a quiet corner. We love hosting and letting our guests share the unique experience of staying in our home!

Why they chose this property

We rented in Orleans in 2006 and fell in love with the town. The town is 'Americana' at its best. Traditional main street with excellent shopping, nice library and superb cafes and restaurants. Plus water everywhere- lakes, inlets, bayside, oceanside- all within minutes of each other!

What makes this property unique

Antique charm with modernization. Separate cottage with king bed and bathroom. Expansive back yard with beautiful, mature landscaping. Large country kitchen for "togetherness" moments. House layout allows for late nighters to congregate either on the patio or in the kitchen without waking others up(perfect for teenagers and young adults!). 5 minute walk to Crystal Lake. Private tennis/pickleball court with basketball hoop. Paddle board. Partial views of Pilgrim Lake.
