About the host
Hosted by Debbie RIder
We are three siblings who have spent countless vacations and weekends at our family cottage on Buttermilk Bay. Our great grandmother had the original cottage built in the 1920's and it has undergone several upgrades and expansions since then. Most recently in 2014. 2019 is the first year we are opening our home up to renters and we are looking for small groups that will take the same care that we do.
Why they chose this property
Our property is great for small groups, would be ideal for young families as the bay is serene and you can easily watch your young ones from the beach directly in front of the house. Castle building, crab catching and minnow chasing are a familiar sport for young beachgoers. This would also be a perfect getaway for up to 3 couples--winding down on the waterfront deck is a fabulous end of the day!
What makes this property unique
Saltwater waterfront living without the Cape Cod traffic.
