This was our second stay with Anne in the peaceful waterfront property. The location on the North River permits excellent kayaking and canoeing! We also enjoy the spacious open living space--so comfortable and charming. Plus, the spot is really close to Nuttall's country store and downtown Gloucester. We will definitely stay again.

So, 2 nd time i have been there since last year. Love the house, quietness, the country environnement, kayak, little renew terrasse, well equip housse and kitchen !!! Only one thing. The futon coach mattress and cover need to be replace. Not much confortable..., and the prise, since i paid in Canadian dollars with rate change could be a bit better. but that's it. Will go back there for sure !!

It was a wonderful place and Anne could not have been more helpful. Some old college/grad school friends and I were in town for an event. We didn’t have much spare time to really take advantage of all the property and area have to offer. That said, I will certainly return to both Gloucester and this house!
