We had such a great time staying here. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed (and more). We loved watching the ducks and the turtles in the backyard. The neighborhood was so charming, like something out of a storybook. We are people who keep our house fairly cool and we saw a few reviews saying there was no central A/C but, we had no issues staying cool. The windows were open and the house has several fans to keep it nice and airy. The location is great because it’s close to so many towns where we were able to do a lot of exploring. We loved it!

We found ourselves needing to find accommodations quickly in order to travel to a family funeral. We were delighted to find that the Pond House was available. The house was nicely appointed, comfortable and close to all our planned events. We (as well as our grown children and spouses) found it fit all our needs. Would live to come back again!

Very fun time staying here with my entire family (my two kids, husband, sister and parents) and everyone had space! Kitchen and living room were smaller but had everything we needed and more! We played games and ate meals all together in the dining room but best of all is the deck. The outdoor space at this house is amazing! My 2 year old got to say hello to the turtles, ducks and fish endless times through the day while my family and I enjoyed beverages on the comfortable patio furniture!

Me and my friends stayed here for an early June bachelorette trip and absolutely loved it! The house was clean, comfortable and well-stocked and you can't beat the neighborhood and pond views and proximity to Salem. The hosts were incredibly helpful on communicating the check in process and had info around the house for anything we could need. 5/5 recommend staying here!

Enjoyed this pond side home as the perfect weekend getaway with friends and family! Henry was responsive and helpful in every way. Felt right at home! Thanks Henry!

The Pond House was unique and homey. Situated on the edge of a pond with a big deck it provided a singular experience. It was early November so we didn't spend long times on the deck, even so the pond is a presence, and can be enjoyed from inside as well. Lots of windows. It's situated in a lovely community, with the ocean only a short walk away. The house itself is 'Harry Potterish' (in a good way) luckily none of us had to sleep under the stairs, (however there is a closet there) nor, did any of the rooms change places. ;) 7 of us stayed comfortably. The appliances are in good shape, with a high end fridge and dishwasher a good BBQ and washer and dryer. We kept the little woodstove going and Henry was quick to respond when we needed kindling. It has baseboard heaters most of which worked most of the time. There were plenty of linens and towels. Henry was an unobtrusive (he lives next door) but responsive host. Pond House is due for a painting and some repairs to things like towel racks and toilet paper holders, perhaps a new set of curtains on the patio doors. However, those things in no way negatively impacted our stay, in fact it levelled out any stress one might experience staying at a pristine, highly decorated place. Pond House is comfy and homey and welcoming, like staying at a beloved family cottage, where many happy times take place. The surrounding area is full of history, interesting architecture and scenery. I would not hesitate to return in fact I hope to.

The stay was fun and close to drive to Salem. The house was way over priced.

Stayed here for our first of hopefully many moms trips. Great location just outside of salem. Beautiful neighborhood just be cautious of how close you are to everyone and read the instructions when you get there and settled in. Overall House was clean just smaller and it looked and in need of a little bit of maintenance repairs. Nothing that really affected our stay. Great host!
