About the host
Hosted by Bill Eisenberg
We (Sue & Bill) are native New Englanders who love nature and the outdoors. We work hard and play hard. When it's time to relax, we spend time at our Becket "slice of heaven". We enjoy hiking, swimming, boating and exploring. When Bill is not outside, you can find him playing the drums or listening to the Allman Brothers. Sue can be found curled up with a nice book or in an aerobic dance class. Bill meets all our guests personally, so he can answer any questions, and know that our home is personally cared for.
Why they chose this property
We chose to purchase our lakefront home in Sherwood Forest with Little Robin Lake for a number of reasons. First of all, nature is untouched there, and there are plenty of areas to explore. We love stargazing at night and watching the sunsets. Little Robin is fresh water, which means it's always moving. Motor boats are not allowed on Little Robin, which is an added plus; it's always quiet and safe to swim in.
What makes this property unique
The best part about our property, is that you can just walk out the back door and into the lake. There are no barriers between you and the lake - just grass! Also, the home was designed and built by an engineer who made sure it was solid and quiet. It is the perfect getaway, if you want to relax in peace!
