Picturesque Rockport Queen Anne Cottage
About this house rental
Situated in Rockport, this charming house for $414 per night is a great option for your next break. Great location in beautiful Rockport. The house is a ten minute walk into town - Bearskin Neck shopping, art galleries, restaurants and the Shalin Liu Performance Center. Also a short drive to some of the Cape Ann's best beaches. ***PLEASE NOTE the stairs are original and a bit steeper then average. The house is not suitable for small children or people who have knee challenges. This family home was built in 1876 and is lovingly maintained. The family is related to Richard Tarr one of the first settlers in Rockport. Quaint, charming, sunny and cozy. There are special touches like the hand painted murals from the 1940's that make the house uniquely inviting. There is a lovely garden and patio for outdoor dining. This house has three bedrooms- the spacious master with one queen, a second small bedroom with two twins and a tiny bedroom on the ground floor with a single. The driveway serves two cars with additional street parking available.

A wonderful Christmas stay. My husband and I were visiting family and this was a perfect place for us to unwind. Adorable, inviting and cozy. Immaculate, comfortable, bright. A lovely memory. Karen, our host, responding immediately. Thank you, Karen, for a most wonderful stay. We hope, when we visit again, we can stay at your lovely place.

My family and I spent a week in this perfect home. I absolutely fell in love from the minute I walked in. The house is clean and very well kept , everything was provided for us. It made crisp fall days absolutely beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was cozy and comfortable, and we all slept like babies each night. The beds are so comfortable! We enjoyed visiting in the living room each night, and we were very comfortable throughout. We had all we needed. P.s. the steps are steep but there is a railing on each side so even my 74-year-old mother was able to go up without a problem.
We loved walking to breakfast and shopping, and found the town to be incredibly charming. We had the best time! Highly recommend!

Lovely house with spacious living room and master bedroom. A charming older house, but freshly renovated with central air, clean, well-appointed, beautiful patio and garden area. Walk to Bearskin Neck and Front Beach. Easy parking and location. Very comfortable for 5 of us.

This house is adorable, cozy and comfortable, and filled with multigenerational family history and memories. We truly felt like we were locals who lived in this home for the week. We had everything we needed. We made use of the bikes provided and there were also nice beach chairs, towels, and other recreational items for guest use. Karen was easy to communicate with and answered my questions promptly. We absolutely loved our week in Rockport and our stay in this very special, charming home.

Four adults were comfortable and enjoyed this unique property. Cute house, just a few minutes’ walk to the harbor, shops, and restaurants of this charming seacoast village. We recommend seeing a show at Shalin Liu if you can; a highlight!
Just walking around Rockport is fun.
We forgot to order sunshine, but made the best of four rainy days. Recommended if you like old houses and family history.

Wonderful cottage in great location. We enjoyed seeing the historical references around the house, including the original cost of building the house. Walk to town was very easy. Loved the murals. House is extremely clean.

We had a fantastic time at this property. The house was cute, historic, and filled with personal history. It was short walk to downtown Rockport, the piers, and Bearskin Neck. In addition, the property manager Rachael was amazing and super nice. We had a problem with the TV, and she came over during a middle of storm to help us fix it! We had a perfect stay at this house, and we would most definitely stay here again.

We loved staying in your family home. It was the perfect location to take a day trip to Boston, Plymouth and Portland. We enjoyed seeing all the family pictures and knick knacks. Thank you for sharing your family memories so we could make some of our own.

My mom, my aunt, and I so enjoyed staying at this lovely historic home in Rockport! We visited Boston and Salem, but Rockport is a great destination all on its own, with cute shops and delicious restaurants. This home situated in a quaint seaside village is welcoming and comfortable after a long day of exploring and shopping!

Adorable little house in Rockport
Such a sweet little house in Rockport. We enjoyed our stay in the house and the area is gorgeous. Just a short little walk into town with its fabulous views. There are plenty of shopping and restaurants to choose from. The house had everything we needed and all the little mementos are a special touch. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your house with us, we had a wonderful time!

I was in town to clear our my parents' home and prepare it for sale. It was an exhausting process. Each night, I was able to retreat to this beautiful and comfortable home. I loved all the personal touches that have been added to this historic home. I hope to come back to vacation some day.

Historic home
We totally enjoyed our stay. The home is lovely with constant reminders of the history of the area. Beautiful photographs, paintings and drawings adorn the walls. Karen is lovely to work with. The stairs are steep and challenging and the kitchen is small and does not accommodate gourmet cooking. The house is old, but has many updated features. We stayed month and, for us, it felt like a spiritual retreat.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely historical house. Everything was clean, the rooms were comfortable and sunny, and there was plenty of space for our group. As other reviews mention, the kitchen is small, but we prepared many meals in there, and it is well stocked with pots and pans and utensils. The stairs are indeed steep, but the 5 year old and 75 year old in our group managed just fine! We loved being able to walk to downtown Rockport, to some of the small beaches, and to the park and playground. We'd definitely stay here again!

This house is wonderful. It is exactly as described. We were always discovering something new in all the little touches added to the house decor. Frogs on windowsills, cats hanging from door frames, and of course the murals. The beds were very good and the shower is excellent. The kitchen is adequate. As stated it is a galley kitchen so don't expect more. The stairs are quite steep and take a little getting used to. I generally came down in the morning and did not go up again till bedtime. Thanks to New England weather we were able to test both the ac and heating. Both worked well. The patio and garden outside are very comfortable with more of the delightful little decorating touches that hide in the bushes. I highly recommend this home to anyone. It was just what my family needed to reconnect and heal from the loss of a loved one during the pandemic.

Beautiful house with enough space for 4 even 5 people. Cosy ambiance and nice garden. Location is excellent: quiet while close enough to historical center and beaches (10/15 minutes walk max). The only room for improvement is the kitchen equipment, essential is here but kitchen is tiny and not the best equipment we have seen so far. Otherwise, the house comes with almost everything you need (from outdoor equipment to beach towels...) and the owner was so easy to communicate with on checking in/out and answering questions. The asking price is good compared to other options. Very thankful to have found this place!

Cottage
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely and very clean cottage. The master bedroom is large and has a beautiful vanity to get ready at. We were there for a week-long wedding celebration. We will remember the cottage by all of the "fairy" and "mermaid" decorations that were so beautifully displayed and all of the family antiques. The wall murals were beautiful works of art as well. We would recommend staying at this very clean, exactly as described and shown in pictures, 3 bedroom cottage. Thank you Karen for the quick communication.

Adorable house and town RICH in history!
Karen and her family have maintained a beautiful piece of history in Rockport. The house is warm, inviting, and comforting. Everything was squeaky clean and fresh. We were there during the week of Halloween and had to use the heater, which was amazing because we are from south east Texas and don't do cold weather very well. You will sleep like a baby and there are plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Karen and her local property manager, Rachel are very accessible and responsive if you have any issues or questions. The only slightly negative thing about the house is the stairs. They are very steep and not good for those who have ambulatory/balance issues. Visiting this part of the country for the first time, we realized that steep stairs are common in houses of that age. Yes carrying luggage up them was not fun, but you only have to do it once... Coming down with your luggage is much easier!
We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend you book Karen's home!
Don't forget to go out to the garden and visit the fairies!
