About this property

Annisquam Singing Pines: Private riverfront setting & tidal dock.

Imagine a summer of bliss, swimming from the dock at high tide, or from the sandy beach at low tide, when you stay at Annisquam Singing Pines. Or easily paddle to one of the nearby islands or to Wingaersheek Beach for a day in the sand and surf.

Annisquam Singing Pines is situated on over an acre of waterfront land and has lovely gathering spaces both inside and out. It was built as the waterfront vacation home of Governor Bates, who was the governor of Massachusetts at the turn of the 20th century.

On the huge lawn, you can have a friendly game of football or croquet (in the spirit of the era of the house), or sit in the shade on one of the screened or open porches and watch the river flow by. There are several peaceful spots around the property for guests to enjoy the lively boat activity on the river and take in the breathtaking sunsets. For the full river experience, ask us about renting a Kayak or Stand-Up Paddleboard through Atlantic Vacation Homes.

A beautiful location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Singing Pines. The riverside view was ever changing and perfect. We loved sitting on the gently rocking dock for morning coffee or long talks. And we’d move from porch to dock to chairs on the hill to try out all the views. Beds were firmer than we like, but the rooms were easy to live in with a/c if needed. Plenty of serving pieces for family meals. Our gas was low for the grill, and was quickly remedied after a quick call. Can’t wait to go back!

beautiful location on the Annisquam
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our favorite things about this home is it's location and view of the Annisquam with a constant parade of boats going by, access to the water for kayaking and swimming, the change of tides presenting an ever changing view of the marsh, the wrap around porch with indoor, screened in and open air sections and the lawn and dock. Our family returned this year for the second time and enjoyed the house even more.

fantastic waterfront views of the salt marsh and Annisquam river
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We adored the location, the wrap around porches, the lawn, the dock, the kayaking, the VIEWS which changed every hour of the day like a moving painting. We would definitely stay again. Just a bit disappointed by the beds, pillows, couches, lack of lighting for reading, and stove/oven (silly toaster too!) Furnishings either pretty tired or if new, pretty uncomfy. But in the long run, we would choose it again. Very restorative vacation for us. Hardly ever left the premises.
