Nice respite in historic Marblehead

We enjoyed the little cottage tucked away in the historic district. We were there for a wedding so it was a great place to land in between events. It is well maintained and well provisioned.

Great Getaway!

We loved the area around the home! Quick access to Salem, harbors and beaches. Cute local shops just around the corner and great places to eat. The home was perfect for the two of us. Our host was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed! Cannot wait to return!!

The Perfect Hidden Cottage

The pictures in the listing (or the word "cottage" might suggest that the space is small. It isn't. 2 floors. 2 bathrooms a living room and a lovely sitting area on the second floor in the bedroom make this home kinda perfect. Our daughter just relocated to Salem and we came for the weekend to help set up shop. She and her partner spend much of the weekend here as we made shopping lists and edited resumes. The kitchen is fully stocked and we made a great big pot of soup and had everything we needed. The kitchen space seems small until you start to use it. Dinner for 4 at the counter - happy as clams. Also walking distance to a Starbucks,a 7-Eleven and a main section of town. Not only would we come again, we are PLANNING on it. Natasha was a wonderful host and her sense of style is absolutely first rate.

Wonderful, beautiful neighborhood, lovely home & great host!!

We loved our time in Marblehead! What a great town! We enjoyed going to the coast & lighthouse. The pizza at Marblehead Pizza was delicious! The town is safe and very enjoyable. We would love to come back! Natasha's home is very beautiful and modern. The wood floors and decor is perfect. The house was filled with everything you need for a great stay. We were quite comfortable after long days touring the Boston area. The master bed is very comfortable! The sheets and towels smelled clean and were soft. Most mornings we made breakfast in the kitchen. Having a washer/dryer was so nice! Wifi worked great. Any question we had Natasha was quick to help us. The parking area is nice and big with entrance to the backdoor. We always felt safe. We drove all over the East coast. Cape Elizabeth to Connecticut. Six states in all. The Norman Rockwell museum is so cool & quite a drive. If you rent a car from Costco they offer a $19 EZpass for the duration of your trip which was a big money saver. Also included is a second driver for free. Always book through Costco.com! We used the T, subway/ public transport for Boston touring. You can park your car at Wonderland station. Nantucket was a really fun day too! Such a great place to visit!! We made lots of great memories! History came alive and we felt blessed to have a great place to stay! Thank you and we hope to be back! We will tell our friends and family to stay at Natasha's in Marblehead!

Comfy like home

This was our second stay at this property. We were pleased to be able to secure this spot again. Natasha was in touch with us at the start of our stay, making sure that we had everything we needed and to make sure things met our expectations. She has provided necessities as well as thoughtful items to make our stay comfortable. This time she also had holiday decorations placed in the house to keep with the season. The decor, the furnishings, the linens, the king size bed, kitchen equipment are all very good quality. All designed to let you feel at home. She has succeeded!

Lovely Home

This property is very nice and very clean. It is located within walking distance of cute shops and restaurants. There is parking at the side of the property so it is easy to transfer heavy luggage inside. There is a muted church bell that rings every hour which might disturb light sleepers. We were just off a red eye flight so it didn't really bother us. We had a great stay!

Romantic New England Seacoast Getaway

This property exceeded expectations! It was much larger than the photos show, three levels of living space, plus two outdoor areas. The house was so light and airy and had beautiful elements of old pine floors and exposed rafters in an open ceiling. The brand new washer and dryer were a plus as well.

This was a warm, charming and relaxing place to stay as we toured and visited many places in the area. Our host, Natasha, was wonderful and communicated very well with us.

Beautiful Cozy Home!

I truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect home for my daughter and I to stay during our first Halloween weekend trip to Salem. Natasha was warm and welcoming and her home was just the perfect size. Only 10 minutes out of Salem, located in its own cute bustling little town, there plenty of things for us to do and eat there! Would highly recommend staying here! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Natasha Medwedeff

Host profile image
I am a graphic artist who has discovered a love for renovating homes! Now I rent vacation properties. I enjoy beauty in nature, good food, a long walk by the ocean... creativity. I like to repurpose and create things I find - a lot of items in my homes have been crafted by myself and other local area artists. I like meeting people from all over the world. It's nice making connections.

I love to travel, and appreciate a beautiful clean room, with a view, in a lovely town.

Why they chose this property

The light. The location. It's beautiful. Clean. Old but modern. Charming. Sweet. Magical. "I just love waking up here"

What makes this property unique

The town of Marblehead is exquisite. Not many places on earth like this. It's "postcard" New England.
