Dana’s property is spectacular. Plenty of room for an extended family and the perfect location for Cape Ann activities. The pool and grounds were perfect for our kids with plenty to do and lots of wildlife to observe. Dana and her team are extremely responsive to any issues that may arise (we didn’t have any). Air conditioning is available for three of the bedrooms and high powered fans kept the main floor living area comfortable. We had a great vacation.

My husband and I and his siblings and spouses had a lovely time in this spacious, clean and historic home. The beds were all very comfortable, the grounds were lovely, the kitchen well supplied. Dana, the host, was an excellent communicator, answered all our questions promptly and ensured we had a great time. The house is conveniently located near the charming village Manchester-by-the-Sea, where there are great beaches and excellent dining opportunities. It is also quite near to the other Cape Ann attractions. We recommend this place highly. Thanks to Dana for making our stay memorable.

3.5 Stars. Host was welcoming and amenities were good but it’s an old house and I wish you could use the fireplace. Couches are very uncomfortable and bathrooms are small. Good location next to public transportation to both Salem and Boston.

Beautifully done home with terrific personal touches and loads of amenities. Spacious rooms, friendly and responsive hosts. Manchester is the perfect location, right in the midst of the North Shore’s favorite locales including the best lobsters and clams. We hope to return!
