This is our second time staying at this house while visiting family in Danvers MA. The house is beautiful and quaint, clean, cozy and has everything you need. Beds / sheets are very soft and comfortable. We were very happy we could bring our dog this time since we travelled via car. Christine is a great host and responds quickly to help with anything that comes up during your stay. I will definitely stay here again. Thanks Christine!

Perfect spot to rd connect with a few friends as we were in town for a wedding. From the initial entry in to stone floor the sun room (stunning) to the spacious bedrooms and first floor where we could lounge on the sectional and eat at the dining table it was cozy, clean and perfectly decorated. The owner was quick to respond to inquiries, gracious in allowing us an early arrival. Only point of note is that the shower in the upstairs bathroom is very short (did you the angled ceiling) so not easily used by tall guests. But the shower in the first floor was a great alternative. Highly recommend.
