自我介绍

Owner/Operator of Pleasant Forest Shores (a classic cottage colony in Swedish style) but I spend the winter in FL and summer here on premises on Cape Cod. I'm a "retired" mainframe COBOL programmer/analyst who's highly involved in Town of Chatham by running the "Chat-M-Room on Cape Cod" dedicated to its activities and history and attending town government meetings. So...what makes my cottages unique? It's run by a second-generation owner who has been involved with them for all his life...also, they are inspected and licensed by Town of Chatham so you have that assurance as well but without the high costs typical of other rentals in town because I believe that regular folks should be able to vacation here in Chatham and not just those with lots of money! You're not just a customer here, but rather a acquaintance or friend who's visiting and helping with expenses so I thus also expect you to treat my cottages as you would if you were staying at your best friend's home. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: In a typical season, I only have openings for about 6-8 new customers as I have about a 90% repeat rate and most of those openings are before mid-July or after mid-August. But please contact me to see if I've got room for YOU, ok? Until all the prior customers are scheduled/booked OFF-line, the calendars here will show many weeks that are most likely UNAVAILABLE because I just don't have time to constantly update them. RESERVATIONS: Please do NOT submit an actual booking Request until we've interacted about unit/date for you via Inquiry ("Contact Host") messages to avoid issues for both of us! An INITIAL contact made as a Request will almost guarantee that it will be DECLINED because of the limits/restrictions that it imposes on me. STATUS: As of 09/30/22, the season is now over and will begin scheduling for 2023 around February 20 or a few days after. Existing customers are booked off line first so if interested, send INQUIRY via white Contact Host button any time after February 1 to get on waiting list. RATES: A quirk of this site is that pro-rated portion of cleaning fee is added to daily rate so when you see rate change/increase, it's often due to this (and additional guests above 2 as well) so don't be confused. TAXES: Any rental after Jan 1, 2023 will be subject to the MA STR tax of 14.45% --and-- it applies to rent, cleaning and booking fees!
