To experience what Cape Ann has to offer, you only need to sit on the back deck and watch the tide go in and out and the daily parade of boats.

Perfect Family Getaway

Plenty of space for 8 adults and one toddler. The deck was a perfect place to relax and an excellent play space for our little one. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. We also enjoyed swimming in the river.

We had a great time. The host was easy to communicate with. The only thing we ran into that caused an issue was that the house doesn't have A/C and it was very hot and humid the first few days of our stay. The house has plenty of fans, but we had a few nights going to bed with the house temp over 75 degrees. Overall, a neat place with a great view.

Beautiful views

This property has beautiful views of the Annisquam River and a lovely, large porch from which to view them from. Our granddaughter enjoyed very much going down to the docks and walking on the sandbars at low tide. Maureen responded promptly to our questions and was accommodating.

Great Vibes

My husband and I, our daughter, and two grandchildren had a wonderful time. The home is warm and inviting with lots of charm and spectacular views. The host has thought of everything- there was nothing we could not find that we needed. The home was very clean. Ours was a rather short visit but we packed a lot in. We spent time in Gloucester, Salem, Rockport, and Boston. After a full day enjoyed coming back to the welcoming home. We all slept soundly- the beds are very comfortable. We would love to come back again maybe in summer when we’d focus on water activities and spending more time on the expansive deck.

Rustic Family Home with gorgeous river view

Our family gathered for a celebration of life for a woman who spent many years on the Annisquam River. Because we were all from out of state we needed a large place to accommodate 10 adults and 2 children. This house worked for us because it had enough sleeping space for all and had a dock on the river. The biggest drawback was that it only had a single shower. All the bedrooms were on the second floor and might be problematic for folks with mobility issues. Likewise the stairs to the dock were uneven but the view was well worth traversing the terrain. The house was dated but that was part of the charm.

The view from this property was incredible, so relaxing. The house is very old and outdated, in need of some repairs and refresh, but it was enough to accommodate our group since we are close. It is definitely rustic, but had the essentials.

I’ve stayed at this house before, it’s a simple beautiful property. The deck has always been a highlight of the stay. The Owner of the house was very accommodating, and answered any questions we had. Extremely kind and helpful and went over and beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Great place to bring family and enjoy the view.

Great stay for the week. Awesome views from the double decker deck. Very quiet area for relaxation away. The only slight inconvenience was the bathroom shower was in the lower level while only a tub bathroom on the same level as the bedrooms. The tub worked out great though for the grandkids. Will stay here again!

Great experience!

We loved our time here. The view from the deck can’t be beat. We walked out to the sandbars during low tide and rented paddle boards to use everyday right from the dock. It’s an older home and definitely feels like it, yet all important amenities are provided and work well. Host was very quick to respond to communications. We hope to stay again sometime!

Glad We Returned 2022

Like last year this large, vintage property was spotless, kitchen could not be better appointed in terms of dishes, silverware, cooking appliances, cleaning supplies, small appliances (toaster, k cup coffee maker, traditional coffee maker, and large modern appliances. Abundant towels, linens, pillows. And, of course, the fabulous river view and sunsets.

The property title tells it all

No need to hit the beaches, everything is in your backyard. We brought inflatable kayaks which enhanced our time in and on the water. Watching the daily parade of pleasure and commercial boats was fun. A great location which is minutes from the center of Glocester and a short drive to Rockport. Can not wait to go back next year, There is no A/C, but there are plenty of fans.

Was a nice cottage-y home. Check-in was a snap. House ready and welcoming. Great deck with tons of seating. Kitchen was huge, plenty of space, had just about anything you needed. Had trouble figuring out how garbage disposal worked, but finally got it. No AC, but owner supplies plenty of fans. Also, attic fan works well. Living room furniture not very comfortable. Great views of River. Parkkng was very adequate. Gas grill worked well. Only one indoor shower. The second is outdoors and not private. We enjoyed the house.

Each of the 3 Years Has Been a Charm

Notwithstanding the 72 hours of rain and wind averaging 20 mph with gusts to 35, we enjoyed our visit. We spent more time at the house this year vs going out and about, appreciating the well appointed kitchen, the large tables we gathered around playing games . WIFI and cable was dependable. We remained warm and dry. We did miss sitting out on the decks in the sunshine, watching the boat traffic and the changing landscape (due to tides) but maybe next year!
