We had a wonderful week at this historic property fully stocked with just about everything you might need. The pool was refreshing, and the beach/town/grocery store easily accessible. Dana does a careful job preparing for your visit and lovingly cares for this charming house. She is easily available and flexible. We had a relaxing week in preparation for our daughter's wedding in the area.

We were fortunate to have great weather for the week which enabled us to fully enjoy the house and the property. We had morning coffee and every meal out by the pool which has a big patio and plenty of seating including a vine covered pergola. The large yard next to the pool provided good entertainment for the kids on break from swimming. The owner provides pool and yard games for all ages. A five minute drive from the beach was great. We bothered with parking permits for Singing beach which Dana fully explains how to procure. Best beach we’ve visited in Massachusetts-good size, not too busy, nice tuck shop. The sleeping accommodations were good, the kitchen a nice place to gather and the library a nice place for the adults to decompress after the kids went to bed. Good proximity and easy access to other Cape Ann towns. My recommendation is to be sure to grab a dinner or lunch at JT Farnhams Clam shack in East Essex (cash only).

If you want the most authentic New England stay this house is definitely it! It is so big that it will take a day to get used to all the nooks & crannies. But it is the most stocked house I’ve ever stayed. The grounds are spectacular words can’t even begin to describe it. The location & proximity to every is super convenient. 20 minutes from everywhere on the north shore.

The house had a very historic feel to it. All the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The dining room was quite large, accommodating all adults easily. Kitchen table was a great spot for the kids and playing cards in the evening. The grounds are gorgeous. Having a pool made the spot perfect for the kids. Manchester is a darling town. Singing Beach was a hit with the family.

Property was gorgeous. Pool was excellent. Property manager was very responsive. We came at a very hot and humid time and it was impossible to keep the house cool. Overall, we had a great time.
