About the host
Hosted by Peggy Northrop
We built our dream home in Salisbury from the ground up -- then got jobs in California! We love summer by our private pond and hiking the Adirondack trail nearby and spend as much time as we can here when we're not in Mill Valley CA.
Why they chose this property
This is our own Walden Pond. There's nothing better than rolling off the dock into the spring-fed lake on a hot summer day and following it up with a BBQ on our back patio. We love entertaining and have made sure to allow plenty of room for guests and their families.
