Great stay, house was clean and well-appointed, pics were accurate, host was very communicative and responsive, instructions were clear and simple. Location was nice, easy to get to everything in the area, and a bonus being down the street from CM Winery.

About the host
Hosted by Sam Pierre
We're Sue and John! We've lived in a riverside farmhouse we restored in upstate New York for more than 40 years, and for many of those years, we vacationed in Cape May. So when the time came for a new home, we sought out something a bit different, with peace and serenity, and fully modern but still with the charm of Cape May's best. We found it in this extraordinary place - a 1880's farmhouse on 3 wooded acres. It was a three year project, but it's turned out beautifully and we're sure you'll love it too. We're pleased to share this gem with you, especially if you value quality, quiet, and Cape May. Come stay here while we travel.
Why they chose this property
It was the large, 3-acre wooded lot with pond that sold us. Coming from a wide open farm, we sought the peace, quiet, and natural beauty that such space provides. Our house is convenient to all Cape May area has to offer (you can walk less than half a mile down our road to Cape May Winery, or about the same the other way to the grocery and other useful shops-although driving might be easier if carrying groceries!). Beaches on ocean and bay are all easy drives of under 3 miles, too. It's perfect.
What makes this property unique
We have been restoring houses for a very long time. This one was a unique challenge that's become a special prize. Starting with a modest 1880's farmhouse right by the road, we moved it back, spun it around, and added new rooms and all new features while retaining the vintage touches. Come enjoy the wide porch with swing and rockers, the high vaulted ceilings in all bedrooms, with exposed beams in many rooms and fine woodwork details throughout. At the same time, you'll find all the best modern features. Truly, it is the best of both worlds.
