Lovely private cottage walking distance to beautiful Dennis beaches!

Sally is a citizen activist, earth conservator, visionary, human potential coach and leader, philanthropist, teacher and mother along side of being an experienced home owner.

Sally has devoted her life to helping others reach their highest potential. Whether working as an elementary school teacher, school board chair or serving as a leadership coach to social entrepreneurs, Sally brings a wealth of compassion and life experience to every task she takes on. A native Cape Codder (“Born with sand in her shoes”), Sally’s personal and professional trajectories have spanned the fields of education, organizational development, personal recovery, culinary arts, environmental activism, and health and wellness coaching and leadership. Her most recent endeavor is meditation teaching and guiding.

A graduate of Barnard College ‘85, Sally went on to study cooking at the French Culinary Institute, where she graduated with distinction. She worked for Ina Garten, "the Barefoot Contessa", at the East Hampton eatery as well as participating in the startup of Nick and Toni’s; both pioneers in the farm to table movement, while Nick and Toni's is listed in 1000 Places to See Before you Die.

Working to support and empower so many nonprofit leaders over the years kindled Sally’s interest in formal study of human potential. She has trained extensively and is a certified life, leadership and human potential coach. She trained with the renowned organizations CTI and Bulletproof becoming ICF certified. Sally’s deep-seated belief that the health of the environment hinges on the health of the activist has led to her private practice near her home on Cape Cod.

When Sally is not out helping make the world the best it can be, she is ensconced in the home she designed for herself and her daughter, surrounded by family and friends, her many art projects and her two Siamese cats, Violet and Lulu. Her daughter Morgan is off exploring our magnificent world away from home now.

The cottage at Hope Lane is a magical oasis nestled in a beautiful family compound designed and built by Sally. It is private and yet 'part of' a larger whole. This 2 acre estate is located right in the heart of Dennis Village and yet most don't even know it's here.

Walking to movies, the art museum and a handful of local restaurants easily round out your stay. On Monday nights during summer a band plays from the bandstand on the village green and subtle strains of music can be heard while you enjoy a private moment on the porch or head on down a few short steps to enjoy the green and music in person. That the heart and vibrancy of the Village has grown in recent years only makes living so close to it that much more dynamic.

At the same time, the careful layout of the dwellings and yard fiercely protect the privacy here. The pool is just the icing on the cake on hot days after a beautiful time spent at one of the Cape's finest beaches. Most guest comments include words like 'renewal', 'refreshed', 'surprised', 'delighted', and 'can't wait to return'. Everything a vacation is supposed to offer!

The privacy of how the property coupled with all the attention to detail that is expressed here while you are literally nestled right in the heart of Dennis Village make this a one of a kind place to stay.

While you are here you may get to visit with the two Siamese cats, Violet and Lulu and their new adoptee Franklin who call this estate home too. This will be a great fit if you enjoy cats!! Most likely you won't be noticing them as you'll be spending most of your time in the pool or enjoying the breeze on the porch and planning your next glass of prosecco or Mai Thai.

At every turn you will find yet another peaceful and restorative place around the house and yard for either a quite moment to yourself or to share in a conversation with a loved one or some other kind of a game you get into with your family. There is ample space to sread out and / or come together and enjoy a meal or a swim.
