Freeman Lane Testimonials

Dear Chris and Luima- As always, we enjoyed every minute of our stay on Freeman Lane and appreciated everything you did to see that that happened. Thank you for the house full of artfully arranged bouquets of flowers. You must have had a spectacular garden this year, as all of the flowers were gorgeous! Evelyn, Margaret and I thought your basket of tomatoes was worthy of a still life painting. All of them were perfectly formed. It was hard to believe that they could tasted better than they looked, but they did! I can truly say that we have never tasted better. How's that for a testimonial?

Best Regards,

Thank you very, very much for an amazing stay. Your home had everything we could have asked for and more! We loved that it was so pristine and extremely organized- a very big luxury and high quality vacation home for a week! The area in which it is located is also very beautiful and our children had some good times running to the beach or biking into town. We needed this relaxing vacation in a most comfortable home, so thank you again for providing us with this gorgeous house for our stay.

Best wishes...
The Elly family

Dear Chris and Luima- Thanks again for making everything so comfortable and homey for us. You two go to the extra effort to make your guests enjoy their stay. This location has so much to offer. Of course Nausett and Skaket Beaches are a given but let's not forget the cove, the osprey nest, the views, the landscaping, the cut flowers, etc., etc. We are all so comfortable in your lovely home.

Thanks again...
The Scales family

Dear Chris and Luima- Thank you for the welcoming and comfortable stay. We greatly enjoyed our stay. Our children loved the pool and swings and we all enjoyed breakfast on the porch and dinners on the deck. What a relaxing week!

Sincerely,
The Rhodes family

Dear Chris and Luima- Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us! We had such a fun time here and Cape Cod (in spite of the weather) and our "home away from home" was perfect! Orleans is such a wonderful, friendly and family oriented town........we will be back! Thank you for making our stay so perfect!

Sincerely,
The Anders family

Chris and Luima- We had such a lovely time here. The house was the highlight of our stay- it fit our family perfectly. My daughter loved the swing set, pool and deck. The adults all loved the outdoor shower, especially after a fun day at the beach. We felt like true "Cape Codders". Orleans was lovely and we loved being near so many beaches- Nauset, Skaket, Marconi, and Nauset Light. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thank you for sharing your wonderful place- a home away from home. We hope to return again soon.

The Eaton family

Dear Christopher and Luima- Thank you for a wonderful week. Your home is lovely and so centrally located. My granddaughter loved the swing set. We enjoyed the weather and the beaches. I hope we will be able to return. What a great home! You are the best hosts!

Mary Ann and Jack Scales

Dear Christopher and Luima- Thank you for being wonderful hosts. Your home was loved by everyone (8 months to 55 years old). Every year we pick a different place for our summer vacation and hands down- everyone agreed this was the best house, location and extras. Swing set & kiddie pool, outside shower, comfortable beds, everything needed for a perfect vacation. We truly enjoyed our week and sad that it is over.

Regretfully, we leave tomorrow after having enjoyed our annual two weeks in June at 11 Freeman Lane. The weather was outstanding and , as always, the accommodations unsurpassed. All of your hard work in maintaining the house and grounds, Luima and Chris, are very evident and much appreciated. We look forward to our return in September.

We had a great week. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home. Our 2 year old loved the swingset and pool. The deck was a wonderful nesting spot for all of us while our daughter had her afternoon nap. Orleans is a great town, we love the beaches, baseball games and food. Lots of nice pictures to remind us of our week here. I think we will plant some hydrangeas and Tiger lilies at home and we will be back soon.

Another great year; this is slowly becoming our "home away from home". Thank you again for sharing your wonderful house with us, giving us the opportunity to enjoy a great week with our son. Hope to see you again next year.

Dear Christopher and Luima- What a wonderful week in this gorgeous little haven. We indeed chose well, as your home is extremely family oriented- as is the area! - and the kids had a ball. We loved coming back after an activity-packed day to the cozy, comfortable house. We are enchanted with this region and look forward to returning one day. Thank you for making us feel so welcome, your dining tips and all the information you provided- very helpful. Hope to see you soon!

It is a testimonial in itself that we have been coming here twice a year for two week intervals since 2003, in addition to some years over Thanksgiving. Perfect hosts, house and location! We always look forward to our return.

This house is a gem. We're happy to have spent the extra time looking for the right home for our vacation. It is truly spectacular. Despite the air conditioning failure, it was a win-win for us. We look forward to next year. Thank you for all the extra special touches; it says a great deal about how much you care about your home and guests. Fondly,

We had a wonderful vacation! Your house truly felt like a 'home away from home"; a great place to come after a beautiful day at the beach. My grand daughter (18 months) loved the swing and the "pool". And my husband enjoyed his naps on the deck. All-in-all it was a great family vacation. Thank you for helping to make it so.

We had a wonderful time. The house is in a central position for exploring the Cape. The house was immaculate and had every necessary electrical appliance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for being such great hosts. We shall be back!

What a wonderful week! What wonderful hosts! We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. Thank you for welcoming us into your home. From start to finish every detail was handled with care. My 3.5 year old adored the pool and the swing set. The beach pass was a welcome bonus- Skaket Beach was a huge hit for all of us. Thank you for making us feel at home and providing all of the special touches that helped us to truly relax and enjoy ourselves. We hope to be back soon!

The Shores and Luke Tramontozzi

We had a lovely time- the swing set got lots of use, as did the Orleans beaches- thanks for the beach pass, as well as the first class gear! Rebecca mastered boogie boarding her first time out, and we had a great kite success as well. Discovered Sir Crickets which put Captain Cass to shame. Sundae School (almost) every night- mmmm... Thanks again!

The Grosses and Liz Lesnick
New York, NY

We had a great week, thanks for sharing your lovely home with us! You made us feel like we were home, we had everything we needed + more. Our 2.5 year old loved his "beach house" especially the pool and swings. Great location, great weather, great house and great hosts made for a perfect week!

The DeCeglies
North Kingstown, RI

Your house is wonderful and so clean- this germaphobic was very happily surprised!! Our 2 1/2 yr old and his cousins really enjoyed "the pool"- what a wonderful touch. The location to the beach couldn't have been better- 5 mins- awesome! We loved the deck- when Ben & Zack went to bed... but I loved the screened in porch the most- so relaxing even when it rained at night. Thank you for wishing us a wonderful, sun filled week- everything was perfect. We will see you again next year!!

Warm regards...
Wendy, Paul, Benjamin & Zachary Whiteside

Thank you for a wonderful vacation week on Cape Cod!! Your home really made our visit special. The small "extra" touches were great- the beautiful flowers, the lemon water in the bedrooms when we arrived and the great smelling towels. Our two children loved the swing set and the kiddie pool. They were always entertained! And at the end of each day when we came back from the beach or a local town trip, the air conditioning was perfect. The house is sunny, warm, user-friendly, and very "Capey" which we loved. Thanks for allowing us to use your home. We hope to be back!

Warm regards...
The Shaer Family

What a beautiful place you have here. Everything was just perfect! We all had a wonderful time. The pool was great for little Peter (3 yrs). He just loved it. The landscaping, the flowers, the location; everything was just great. One week is just not long enough. Hope to be back next year. Thanks for all you've done to make our vacation great and wishing us well...

It feels just like home here right down to the flowers on the deck. Our grandson just loved the pool & the swings. This place has a Germanic touch. We can't wait to rent Briar Point.

Another fabulous two weeks but where did the time go?! The weather was outstanding and the accommodations, as always, unsurpassed. We feel fortunate to have such wonderful hosts who always go above and beyond to make certain their guests are comfortable and happy.

Thank you for letting us share your house for a vacation week at the Cape. We love Orleans for its central location and family friendly atmosphere. Although the beginning of the week was a bit rainy we got to visit Provincetown, Hyannis, Chatham and Dennis. The house is so comfortable and the attention to detail is amazing- from the lemon water to the hotel quality amenities! You both know how to make your guests feel at home. We had a fabulous week! See you again!

The location of this house is great- the accommodations were perfect for or families, including a 21 month old & 9 week old baby. The swing set was an added plus! We loved spending our week's vacation in Orleans- a perfect location on the Cape with easy access to beaches, parks, towns. Skaket Beach, especially at low tide, was perfect for the 21 month old. The house was so well equipped, with beautiful yard and terrace. Very cozy house- hope to return!

We had an absolutely wonderful week here on the Cape and your lovely house played a huge part. It was sunny and light and always nice to come home to after a day of bicycling, golfing or at the beach. We are looking forward to returning to your home. Wishing you all the best...

Jane & Robert Gelman- Bethesda, Md

What a fabulous house! We put the swing set and kiddie pool to good use this week! Our 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 year olds loved the "vacation house" as much as we (the grown ups) did! Nauset Beach was quite amazing the day we were there- huge waves. You couldn't swim, but it was fun to get splashed by the waves. We discovered a good breakfast place "Homeport" located beside Friends Market. The landscaping here is gorgeous and the deck so enjoyable. We all loved watching the birds make a mess while eating from the feeder- but even more fun was watching the "chippy monkey" (as my 1 1/2 called the chipmunk) clean up! Thank you for a wonderful week!

The Moseley Family- Boston, Ma

Wow- What a wonderful house and location. Really enjoyed the walk to visit the ospreys. They were very entertaining! The brown out not withstanding, we had a fantastic time here on the Cape. Can't wait to return.

The Larigans- Horsham, Penna.

What a wonderful house in a beautiful setting with a New England welcome ( especially the chocolates!). We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the vast variety of song birds and other wildlife although less keen on our insect friends! It is an ideal base to explore the many features of Cape Cod with good local facilities and restaurants. Thank you for making our first visit to New England so welcoming and enjoyable.

As always, we enjoyed every moment on these premises and look forward to our return in September.
