Secluded Modern Design Retreat
Orleans Vacation Rental - ID 35716

We arrived at Elizabeth's place just in time to experience the heavy winds and rain of hurricane Irma. Elizabeth checked in with us, often, to make sure that we were ok and that the house was secure during this extreme weather. We enjoyed chatting with her and she is a exceptional host, the best we have experienced. A great communicator Elizabeth was readily available to answer any questions we had. This house is set up for family living with comfortable spaces, good storage, filled with natural light from large sliding doors and sky lights. We cooked most of our meals at home, found the kitchen very user friendly and often used the outdoor grill. Dinner on one of the many deck spaces was appreciated. It is surprising how isolated the property feels, and then to realize that you are so close to town, beach, restaurants. From the house it is a easy walk to the lake for our 5 year old who had a fantastic time swimming and playing in the sand. This house is filled with vintage books, games and well loved comfortable furniture. If you are looking for a sleek, modern home, this place is not for you. We enjoyed staying at Elizabeth's place and will be looking for this listing the next time we plan a Cape vacation! show more show less

We had a wonderful experience at Elizabeth's place. We were a total of 5 adults and the layout of the house provided both common spaces for us to eat and relax together as well as room for us to be separate. We loved having two decks with plenty of seating. There is a nice gas grill and the outdoor shower is perfect after the beach. The house is tucked away in the woods and quiet. The location was great for us and we rode bikes to the beach and the nearby lakes. Having Elizabeth staying on the property worked out well for us—we had enough privacy and it was nice to have her close by if we had any questions. The description is very accurate. The design and decor of the home make it the perfect place to unwind and take in the beauty of the area. show more show less

Description in the listing is accurate, but it is hard for words or pictures to capture how delightful the space and surroundings are.

Quiet house in a wooded area away from the beaten path. The layout is something to be experienced. Elizabeth was a great hostess and quick and precise with her communications. Can't wait to return!

A serene, scenic, peaceful setting nestled in nature, you can walk/ run/ bike to the water or nearby lakes. For two of us the space felt like a retreat in unique Orleans. The house has beautiful natural light, spacious and we chose it for the mid- century modern architecture. Very private, clean with practical amenities all on one floor, surrounded by a deck where you can step out and enjoy the fresh air, morning coffee , what you would expect of the Cape. Our host left great instructions for the area and personally helped us choose some of our outings. Elizabeth is kind and knowledgeable of the area, communications were very clear. We plan to return! show more show less

Elizabeth's house is a really special piece of architecture, and we had a wonderful week there. the neighborhood is lovely, with short walks to the lake and bay, and the house itself is very connected to the cape cod landscape. Everything was there that we needed and it was a truly relaxing week.

The house is very special (a true architectural gem) and in a perfect location - just a few min to all beaches and lakes. Elizabeth is an incredible host. We loved our stay and we can't wait to return soon.
