We really enjoyed our long weekend after Thanksgiving in this lovely cottage, surrounded by trees. Really nicely decorated, spotless, and very warm and cozy. We took wonderful walks at beautiful nearby beaches and explored the surrounding towns of Cape Ann. The host gave us lots of helpful suggestions for nearby restaurants, bakeries, and walks. We would definitely come again!

Absolutely gorgeous property! We came to the area to visit Salem and this house was the perfect oasis after a busy day. Super clean, with extra amenities that we weren’t expecting! Rachel was very responsive to our questions before and during our stay. 5 stars all around!

Beautiful place. It was perfect for my family’s stay in Gloucester. It was very well kept and had everything we needed. Rachel was very good at answering questions if we needed anything during our stay. I would definitely stay here again if ever back in Gloucester with my family. I highly recommend this property.

Very nice property, quiet area in the woods. We enjoyed the space, and were able to relax. Very close to nice restaurants and shops. The beds were very comfortable.

Absolutely loved our stay here. The house is cozy but provides ample nooks for separation and privacy when desired. My sister and two teenaged nephews stayed with us for a few days and even with five people we had plenty of space.
The house is beautifully decorated with a bird motif. The firepit was perfect for making s'mores. We enjoyed seeing wildlife (wild turkeys!) and were treated with seeing some horses passing by one morning.
From here you have easy access to Hammond Castle, Castle Hill at Crane Beach, and shopping and dining in the delightful waterfront town of Gloucester. I also recommend a quick day-trip to Salem.
I had one question during our stay and got an immediate response from the hosts.
I would definitely stay here again.
