Charming cottage
Beautiful setting on the Annisquam. Lovely sunsets, marshes full of life. Kitchen has everything needed. We did have a problem, however. Nights were chilly and when we put the electric heaters on and then put on the tea kettle or other electric device, the fuse blew. This happened several times a day. Perhaps house needs another circuit especially when renting when nights are chilly. Other smaller problem was double bedroom upstairs had a closet that was not properly cleaned out--dead bugs & comforter thrown on floor. Might be good to also clean out medicine cabinet in upstairs bathroom. Overall, our group enjoyed ourselves and were adept at dealing with fuse box.

Amazing views and setting
We had a great time at this house. The house itself is not the stand out, but the setting is. The porch and the dock are spectacular and we spent hours just watching the boats go by and the sandbar festivities. We loved the ability to bring our own boat, dock it right at the dock, use it for Anasquam River cruising and beaching at Wingaersheak Beach. The property is also a quick drive over to shopping and downtown Gloucester.

Charming delightful cottage
This was such a precious cottage. Old and charming with everything you need for a delightful stay. We absolutely LOVED our time here. It was so well appointed that we canceled our final dinner reservations and grilled wonderful steaks just so we could enjoy it every minute more. I would stay here again next week if we could!

Great oceanfront getaway
My family and I had a great time! The house was spotless, though we truthfully didn’t spend much time inside. We spent most of our time on the porch enjoying the gorgeous views of the river or out on our boat which we were able to keep on the private dock. Communication with property management was easy and prompt. We will definitely be back!

Perfect in all weather.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It rained every day but we were able to sit on the porch and watch the boats going up and down the river. There was plenty of space inside as well for games, relaxing and enjoying one another’s company. We will be back!

Dream Vacation
We had an absolutely great time at the cottage on the Annisquam. We had our boat on the dock and was able to fish, go from sand bar to sand bar and explore different beaches. We ate every meal on the screened porch and spent lots of time in the rocking chairs watching sunsets and boats pass by. The cottage was spotless, and had everything needed for a comfortable vacation. We cant say enough about this gem!
