Great house for large family if you are ok with antique style and eclectic furnishings/style. Lots of room, kitchen well equipped, plenty of sleeping beds. Great location & private. Extremely “lived in” comfortable but very old- nothing remodeled in a long time but charming.

Great location. House is huge… reminded us of the Clue house. Definitely an older house with a creepy vibe. We loved it as we spent time in Salem. Property manager was very helpful with a few issues we had upon arrival. Overall great place for large group.

The house is beautiful- the bedrooms are perfect! Loved the library- so much fun exploring the house. The house had the perfect vibe for Halloween time. Our family had a wonderful experience! Don was a doll, Alix did all he could to make our experience awesome. Thank you for an exciting experience.

Incredible antique house! We were visiting the area for the October festivities in Salem, and this house was perfect for the setting. The entire area was beautiful this time of year and got to enjoy the outdoor fire pit and walk to local beach. Plenty of sitting areas to enjoy and beds were very comfortable. There was box fans available for almost every room as it did get a little stuffy and we needed them. Would love to visit again!

Stayed with our whole wedding party for the most amazing Wedding Weekend. All of the bridesmaids were able to use the library to get ready while the groomsmen hung out throughout the house. Many rooms had suites with bathrooms and overall it was perfect. Definitely lived-in but made it all the more homey and comfortable.

I came up with 12 of my friends for my bachelorette party. The house was awesome, we were so happy to have stayed there. Plenty of space for everybody and activities! We did Halloween crafts the first night in the dining room then headed out back to sit around the firepit. The next night when we did our famous witches bar crawl there were plenty of bathrooms and mirrors for all of us to get ready in then plenty of space in the study and living room to film tik toks and have some fun before heading out. Don was a great host giving us great suggestions on what to do and coming by to introduce himself. We will definitely look into renting the house again in the future and recommend it to anyone coming to the area!

This villa was stunning! Don was an amazing property manager! He walked through the house and showed us the historical aspects of the property! We were a large group, but we all have plenty of room and privacy from each other. The large atrium was the focal point of our stay. We loved all the lovely themed bedrooms upstairs as well!

This is a large, charming place that has been around for a long time. It is well equipped and comfortable. While it might be formidable because of its size and design, it has been well lived-in and thus feels like home. Lovely location in the woods, close to beaches and small towns. We had a wonderful time.
