About this house rental
This historic home has great access to one of the best hidden gems of Gloucester, Stage Fort Park. Just a five minute walk across the street and you will be looking down through the trees at the beautiful Half Moon beach. Hike to the knoll and gasp at the amazing view of Gloucester as schooners sail by. Play tennis, bring your kids to the playground, or hike to the top of Tablet Rock. Lay at the beach or dip in the ocean at Cressy or Half Moon beach. Or walk up the hill out the front door to hike at the 60 acre nature preserve, Ravenswood Park. Order an ice cream cone or seafood from the Cupboard. Or walk back and grill in the backyard kitchen.
The Parsons at Stage Fort home is the perfect place for your family’s adventures. This home is a unique opportunity to connect with Colonial New England. The home is a wonder to explore with beams and floorboards from the 1600s. Fireplaces and a baking oven that were used as the original kitchen Early immigrants from England, connections to the Salem Witch Trials, a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and even an ice harvester (like Sven from Frozen) all lived in this house.
We provide everything you need for an unforgettable family vacation:
Tennis rackets, frisbee, lawn games.
Beach supplies: towels, caddy, chairs, umbrella and toys.
Plenty of board games to occupy all ages.
Extensive library – feel free to take and keep any book.
Parsons at Stage Fort provides many configurations for sleeping arrangements. The primary bedroom has a large king bed. The spacious 2 bed bedroom has a queen bed and full bed. The third bedroom has a twin bed. An optional fourth bedroom is the library, with closing doors and two full sofa beds. Pack-n-play crib, blow up mattress and cot are available upon request.
While you may find all the adventure you need at Stage Fort Park, there are many other amazing activities just a short drive away. Schooner sailing and whale watch boat trips, boogie boarding at Good Harbor beach or exploring tide pools at the calmer Wingaersheek beach. Bikes, paddle boards, surfboards and kayaks are all available at local rental locations. Gloucester Stage company has live plays or the beautiful Shaolin music center has concerts. Gloucester's downtown has plenty of one of a kind shops and a grand variety of restaurants, cafes and dessert locations.
Rainy day - no problem! You can visit the Hammond Castle – just a short drive to see this fascinating building and artifacts. Or visit the Cape Ann Museum with artifacts from the Revolutionary War, beautiful paintings and sculptures new and old. Go antique shopping in Essex or go to the movies at our local theater. The bottom line is that there is just SO much to see and do here on “the island.”, you may never want to leave.
We are always excited to share our recommendations for your vacation. Please do not hesitate to reach out.

5.0 / 5.0
We loved our time at this beautiful, historic home. There were so many thoughtful details that made Parsons at Stage Fort extra welcoming, from the cozy sheets and bedding to the invitation to select a book from the well-stocked library to take home with us. The house is perfectly located away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Gloucester, but close enough where we could walk to key sights and attractions. I personally loved taking my morning coffee out on the covered porch. And the one day it rained was the perfect excuse to treat myself to a mini spa day in the jacuzzi. All in all, a lovely home and an even lovelier host family.
5.0 / 5.0
Short walk to playground, historic park and child friendly beach. Perfect for our 6 year old twins and 5 year old sister. Modern kitchen. Have to be ok with climbing stairs to bedrooms, but no problem for us. Fenced back garden and loads of beach gear, games and books.
5.0 / 5.0
If you l love interesting and historical homes, this is a great place for you. We stayed a week with friends and family. The house was extremely clean and tidy with lots of unique details from the original house, like fireplaces and two old staircases, with nice modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms. The outdoor areas and landscaping around the house was well designed and stunning; amazing outdoor kitchen. Easy walks to get to Ravenswood Park trails and park and beaches across the street (good place to watch the sunrise). Games, outdoor equipment, and beach towels were available. We spent most of our days exploring Cape Ann but this was such a nice place to return to in the evenings.

5.0 / 5.0
This property, location and host all deserve high remarks. The house has a warm feel to it: it is a home — not just a rental property. The kitchen is modern and spacious for cooking and baking. We brought some of our own cookware, baking sheets, etc, since we did a lot of cooking and baking and we put the the kitchen and the outside grill and stow to good use! Loved them both. All around a great experience both in and around this lovely home — including enjoying the beautiful yard and views from upstairs bedrooms, and the short walk to the ocean-side park ( with a recently updated playground! ). I looked hard for a property with the “right feeling” and will for sure keep this in my saved list for future travel.
The owner-host is super responsive and personable — this is so important and very different from locations managed by property management companies that make vacations feel like transactions. Thank you!
5.0 / 5.0
Kelly was so easy and accommodating. We were visiting with a 6yo and a. 1yo and having the pack and play there made traveling a million times easier.
Location is perfect and a quick walk (even with kids!) to the park, which has a fantastic playground!
Downtown is about a mile away and an easy drive or longer walk!
Beds are cozy and clean, house is easy to navigate and outdoor area looked fantastic (didn’t get a chance to use it!)
5.0 / 5.0
My wife, daughters and grandson all had a great time in Gloucester. The place had a feeling that you were staying in an historic fishermen’s home while enjoying all the modern conveniences such as great kitchen, outdoor barbecue, whirl pool bath. The place is right across from a large park with a playground. We told our host we had an infant with us and they bought a new crib. I wouldn’t look any further. This is the place.
