Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
I'm an author of several travel books and several true stories of survival and adventure. It was my dream to buy a house on a lake near the ocean so that I could enjoy the best of both worlds. My idea of a great day is to take a morning bike ride, go to one of the nearby beaches to body surf the waves or fish for striped bass, and then return to the Plymouth house for a swim in the crystal clear waters of the lake. And of course, this is all capped off with drinks on the deck while watching the sun set on the lake and a dinner cooked on the outdoor gas grill.
Why the Owner Chose Plymouth
While I love Cape Cod, I can't stand it's traffic. So from my Plymouth house I can avoid the Cape during high traffic periods (weekends when people are going to rentals is the worst), yet I can drive to the Cape in just 10 -15 minutes from my lake home at a time that is convenient for me. (There is so much to do near my house, I find that many family members and guests only go to the Cape for a couple brief visits during a week's stay, and instead spend most of their time on the lake or doing an activity in Plymouth or Wareham.) And for those folks that want to go into Boston, our location has easy access to the highway and the trip is much shorter than if you left from the Cape.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The road our house is on is extremely quiet, and the lake (Ezekial Pond) is peaceful. It is a good size at 36 acres (and 26 feet deep), but their are only a couple power boats on the lake because power boaters prefer the huge lakes or ocean nearby. This makes Ezekial Pond pefect for kayaking, canoeing, swimming and fishing (great largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing). I also like the fact that while you feel like you are way out in the country, a ten minute drive brings you to Route 25/6 which has every store and restaurant imaginable on it. This roadway also has activities for the kids such as mini golf, go-carts, a waterpark etc. At the house I've put together an entire booklet of some of my favorite places and few secret spots with maps and phone numbers. I want guests to have a week that has a mixture of fun, discovery, and relaxation. My whole approach is that when renters love their vacation at my lake house we all win -- those same people will want to return in future years, and each year they find new things to do and learn their own favorite places.

Our family really enjoyed our stay here. We did a lot of sightseeing in Boston, Plymouth and Cape Cod, so it was very nice to come back to this house in the evening and relax. The house was very comfortable for our family (my husband and I and our three children). The water in the lake was pretty warm, so kids had fun swimming and kayaking. There was a good size bass hanging around the shore, and we enjoyed watching it. We have recommended this house to friends from Alabama who are interested in visiting the area in the future.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Wow! We had a great time! The house was wonderful as described and better! It was comfortably furnished, clean and well stocked with all housewares! The deck was our favorite gathering spot as the view is amazing ...... just steps away from the clean, clear pond! Our visit was a mom / kids get away and our three 'tweens' loved it! They spent hours on the dock chatting, sunning, star gazing and also enjoyed the swimming and use of the kayaks on the property. Although there are two TV's in the house we didn't turn them on once! It was much more fun cooking together in the lovely kitchen, hanging on the deck and enjoying our surroundings! We found the house to be centrally located to so many attractions and the local market just outside the campground down the road a quick stop close by to pick up convenience items! The owners and I communicated by email and all my questions were answered quickly! They even provided hand drawn maps of the area and shortcuts to destinations in a book located in the house! We enjoyed many local attractions and at the top off the list are: Scusset beach - go at low tide! Plimouth Plantation, The Mayflower, The town of Plymouth, The ghost tour in Plymouth, Sandwich and the glass museum and the area in general! Thank you for the great stay! H. From EB, NJ
