Guest Comments
We have kept a guestbook for the past twenty years. Here are just a few of our guests' comments:

"From the moment we walked in the door we felt at home here. Everything you've done here is not only pleasing to the eye, but so comfortable! Our favorite spot was that screened porch with the spectacular view..." Sept. 7-14, 2002
"We had a lovely time celebrating Thanksgiving in your beautiful home. It was so peaceful sitting at the table looking out at the marsh and sand dunes. The kitchen is so well-stocked that it made our Thanksgiving dinner a breeze to put together..." Nov. 30, 2002

"Beautiful house-breathtaking views-cozy reading chairs with good lamps, comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen--2 Scrabble games--what more could anyone ask? We had a splendid week with all kinds of weather. The deck was a great setting for 2 large gatherings--thank goodness for the ping-pong table!"
July 10-17, 2004
"Without a doubt we definitely enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home. The weather was just perfect!!

"Thank you for the beautiful accommodations. We loved the 'architectural gem.' I especially enjoying gazing at the roof framing and how the center 4 columns are visible on both 1st and 2nd floors. As an engineer, I can say that the house is an 'engineering gem' also!" June 9-16, 2007

"Wow, what a view and a house with everything. I have stayed in many places in Europe and have never stayed anywhere with such a well equipped kitchen and a lovely house. We luxuriated in the splendor and enjoyed the well thought-out lighting and all the windows and the many comfortable places to sit. We will always remember the upside down house." Aug. 14-21, 2009
"Your home is wonderful; so many places to just sit and relax. And the location is perfect--in just 2 weeks we covered the Cape and still had time to do nothing on some days." Aug. 26-Sept. 9, 2010
"Thank you for such a beautiful setting to celebrate Christmas with our family. The view is spectacular and the house is wonderfully inviting." Christmas, 2012
"We feel so at home here and our visits are always a celebration with family. In the tree tops on the screen porch, with birdsong, bay breezes and revelry, it was almost difficult to go to the beach..." June 2013
"What a cozy home. The view, with the Cape in peak color, was amazing in every light. We love the morning processional of turkeys around the house as well! Everything was perfect, and we would love to come again. The spacious layout and quiet privacy was just what we needed as a family." October, 2015
"Can't thank you enough for sharing your beautiful home with us. Loved everything about it--the breeze, the evening light, the sound of the train, even the smell of the marshy salt air. Everything about this place exudes a sense of home: the children's table and books, the well-worn maps of Cape adventures, the "treehouse" porch, the Mary Oliver poetry books, even your perfect bumper sticker. There are few houses I've stayed in that I've loved as much as this one or that felt quite so full of love and good, happy energy. Thanks for sharing that with us." August, 2020
