Thank you so much for your kind words & wonderful feedback, Patrick! I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay! It was a pleasure Hosting you, and I’m glad the location suited your needs. We’d love to Host you again in the future!
My husband and I travelled to the area for some sight seeing and to visit friends, and I am so glad we booked this house in Essex to stay. Close to Salem and in walking distance to the cute downtown area. Rachel, the property manager, was easy to get ahold of with quick response time, which is amazing. The house also has an app with all the info you need along with area attractions and places to eat which we took full advantage of since we aren't from the area (check out Crane Estate...it's amazing! Plus a cute orchard/winery is on the way there!) We had a great time here!
We had a lovely stay at this adorable tiny house with vintage charm. The pictures accurately reflect the space, which has plenty of parking and is within walking distance to the town center and the scenic road along the marinas. We also recommend checking out the Blue Marlin Grill and lovely Cranes beach, just a short drive away.
Please note that since the 'lil house is a converted antique building (perhaps a former barn), the steps leading from the high-ceiling bedroom to the downstairs may not be suitable for older guests or those with mobility issues. Additionally, the bed could benefit from a topper, as it was a bit firm for our preference.
Rachel, the host, was exceptionally responsive—one of the most attentive hosts we've ever encountered—and she went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable.

About the host
Hosted by Rachel Steeg
My family and I have been on the North Shore for the last 10 years and love exploring all that this area has to offer! We love to enjoy Gloucester beaches, or adventure to local coffeeshops and breweries. We love traveling as a guest and getting to experience new places in unique homes. Some of our favorite spots have been in Sarasota, Santa Barbara, and Montreal. I'm looking forward to hosting you here in our neck of the woods. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
