The open plan living/dining area has a 42" plasma TV, ceiling fans, lots of windows, and a large dining table that can accomodate six. The well-equipped kitchen is open to the living area and has a range, refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, lobster pot, plenty of pantry room, and a washer/dryer. Wraparound deck can be accessed from every room.
In the warm weather, relax on the beach, fish, kayak, sail, hike, bike, or just enjoy the sweeping water view, all right from your front doorstep. Dine on freshly caught lobsters from the boats that return to the cove. Downtown Gloucester, a scenic fishing port, offers excellent restaurants, shopping, nightlife, whale watch and deep-sea fishing excursions. During the cooler months, there is still so much to explore on Cape Ann. We are adjacent to miles of hiking trails that are dotted with picturesque quarries. Shop in the quaint village of Rockport. Also nearby is Essex, birthplace of the fried clam, which boasts 34 antique stores all within walking distance of each other. Historic Salem's rich history dates back to 1692, visit the Peabody Essex Museum. Cape Ann is truly a precious vacation spot.

Our return visit!! As usual, we loved it. Thanks Steve for all you did for us, from getting lobsters to building that extra picnic table - It was awesome!! Our friends couldn't believe it. Enjoyed our talks and fun banter!! Lanesville wouldn't be the same without you. Again, many thanks - hope to see you next year. Tom and Margaret

We had a fantastic two weeks. Our son Tyler (2 years old) started calling this place "the special house." We couldn't agree more! He loved your red jeep, and he didn't want to "make Steve sad" by playing with things he wasn't supposed to. He did his best. We had a blast! Thank you.

We had a fantastic May week here and would return in September if it were available... The house was wonderful and everything that we needed to feel like we were at home was provided... The rooms are of good size and the layout makes for good "get out of my face, I need my own space" alone time... TV's in all the rooms... The Cape Ann area was fun to explore... Rockport, Essex, Manchester, Beverly, and Newberryport... Salem was a nice day trip to see the REM art museum... Had great fried clams at Woodman's in Essex with it's many antique shops to explore... It's an easy drive into Boston and all it's tourist attractions and activities... Steve's hospitality and friendly laugh will be remembered for a long time... Our future travels will definitely include a return to this area and this terrific home away from home...

Highly recommend this place! The owners thought of everything--you can actually rest and relax in this place. The photos just don't do it justice. It's right on the water, and a great location--so close to everything. We will absolutely be back!

Steve and Barbara, This place far exceeded our expectations! You guys thought of everything and all the details were taken care of on our vacation. The place is in a prime location as well - we spent time in Salem, Boston, Rockport, Gloucester, etc. (highly recommended: Virgilio's Bakery in Gloucester) Thanks for everything - we will be back!

I grew up in Gloucester, but moved to California 30 years ago. Staying here for 2 weeks felt more like moving back home than vacationing. The art work by local artists of local scenes, made this a special "home". Thanks for making us feel so welcome!

We enjoyed our stay here. It really is close to the water, and Plum Cove beach. It is also a walk to local stores, post office and very old burial grounds. The house itself is well designed, with polar bed rooms and a central dining room/ kitchen. The kitchen and appliances are excellent. The bed rooms are large and comfortable. Overall, we had a great stay - visiting Salem and the Peabody Essex Museum, the Wenham tea house, Newburyport shops, Rockport shops, Plumb Island beaches, and so forth. An excellent place...
