About the host
Hosted by Lynne
I love to garden, hike, travel and spend time on the Cape with family and friends. I've lived in this home for over 30 years, having restored, improved and maintained it during this time. I've lived on this block since 1981, and grew up within a few miles -- so I know the area well and love it here.
