***Typically we require a Friday and Saturday night stay and then you can add as many weeknights as you would like. This way the price for the home calculates properly. We do allow just weekday night stays but the price is higher than what the site will calculate. (typically 1000/nigh mid-week) Please email for specific rent for just weeknight but please understand the site will not calculate just weeknights properly. The rent when combined with 2 weekend nights (Friday and Saturday) will always calculate accurately though.
***Sorry no weddings or large parties are allowed at the house per town ordinance. Smaller parties or gatherings usually allowed but please detail your use of property before booking. thank you :)***

Unlocked house prior to arrival is an unsafe condition. Unlock upon leaving is also unsafe. Staircase to master has no railing and is not wide enough to bring luggage up there.
Rustic, rambly house perfect for spreading out or coming together! We didn’t get to spend as much time as we would like just sitting on the porch, but we did get to wander around, take our morning jogs, and late night cozy catch ups. Communication with the host/manager was perfect and prompt. Place was quite clean and picked up. It does have a pantry/service area as well as the large kitchen, so I could certainly see a good group event would be fun there!
The property felt rustic and historical and the location was easy enough to navigate into town for items and get back quickly. It felt like a retreat home. The outdoors was like a wild garden, colorful and fragrant.
The house is beautiful, historical and modern, with stunning interior design and decor. It is very spacious and comfortable, with a huge yard, beautiful old barn, lovely patio and garden. Nicely appointed and big kitchen with beautiful views. Our family of six--grandparents, parents, and twin little ones, loved our time there.
This house was amazing! We had plenty of room
for eight adults to cook together in the spacious kitchen and spread out to relax in the great room, the sitting room, the screened-in porch, and the deck. The location was perfect to get to all our family events, and Jeremy could not have been more responsive!
Beautiful rambling house on lovely property offered plenty of space for extended family gathering. Large open kitchen with huge counter, two refrigerators and pantry made wonderful common area. Whole group snuggled on sofas in living room for movie night. Four adult couples and four young children slept comfortably. Kids loved playing on swingset in big yard. An idyllic weekend stay!
Jeremy was so easy to communicate with, responded quickly and was incredibly gracious. The property was perfect for our extended family and we are already talking about wanting to return next year! Thank you so much for wonderful memories :)
The property was as advertised
We rented the house because my daughters wedding venue was just 10 mins away and the house had plenty of room for our entire family to get ready. The house was very comfortable and convenient to restaurants and to the town center. I highly recommend it for large family gatherings
We enjoyed this property very much—the spacious grassy lawn, the wealth of outdoor plantings (many still in bloom), and the numerous house plants which warmed the indoor rooms with their healthy foliage. The large lawn was popular with the frisbee players and the egg-shaped tree swing was a surprisingly mellow experience. We, all ages of our 3-generation family, had a happy time there.
If you are looking for a house in the Ipswich, Essex, Gloucester area for a larger group, book this one! Tons of space downstairs, outside patio, big kitchen, lots of tables and it's in a location that is close to everything in the area, a short 10-25 minutes.
Photos you see on the listing are what you see when you arrive.
we had an awesome time in this quaint but large house! great for large groups of people, it was so much fun hosting indoors and in the outdoor spaces. only downside is that all of the bathrooms are connected to bedrooms and the doors/locks do not always work. but would definitely recommend!
This farmhouse and property could have been showcased in a magazine! It is absolutely beautifully done! Spacious and clean inside with lovely flower gardens outside. We had plenty of comfortable sitting areas to spread out and a large kitchen to come together for meals.
The owners of the home were very attentive to any questions we had. We would recommend this property for a very relaxing family vacation!
My husband and I hosted my brother and sister-in-law and their three teens over the Fourth of July holiday week. Our itinerary included college tours, a Red Sox game, fireworks, and local history. The Rustic Farmhouse in Essex was absolutely perfect for our group of seven. Here's why:1.) There was plenty of room for everyone - everyone had their own bedroom/bathroom2.) The property included plenty of space for softball, football, cornhole, and even frog catching (and releasing), and counting swallows nests3.) The house had everything - a washer/dryer, good internet, a closet full of boardgames, overstuffed furniture, and a great central air system4.) The kitchen and butler's pantry were well stocked and having two refrigerators was a god-send with teenagersWe had such an amazing week together - we can't recommend the farmhouse, its location, and its host enough! Thank you for the time of our lives!!
Stunning. Easily the best property our family has ever stayed at. The photos do not do it justice. Book it ASAP. You will not regret it. Such a peaceful environment. Plenty of space for a large group and every time you would walk around the house you’d find another thing to love. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!!!
The home was very large and spacious. We had 7 adults and 5 children and there was plenty of room. We enjoyed the deck area and kitchen. The home could of been a little bit more cleaner, some listing photos are not accurate, hot tub was full of way to much chlorine, no umbrella on patio area like in photos. The amount we paid for the stay we expected more details to be addressed.
Great house and lovely location. We had a fabulous time at this beautiful farmhouse. There were eleven of us, ages 7 to 85. Plenty of space to gather and to have personal time when you needed to "get away." The chef we hired to make the anniversary dinner, loved the space in the kitchen. The octogenarians in our group had to be mindful of some of the step ups/step downs into rooms and lower lighting in some of the rooms.--I would still give this place five stars, but something to bear in mind if you have older folks with mobility issues. All in all though, a lovely weekend in a beautiful space!

The pictures of this property, probably taken years ago, do not show the wear and tear it has undergone lately. The following list is to help the owner be aware and make his customers happier with a few changes and purchases.The kitchen especially shows this. Old dishes, pots and pans and disorganized utensils. Dishwasher falls forward when loaded. For future customers, dish towels should be replaced (Only 2 old ones were available), sponge was old and no replacements. The walkways outside had broken flat stones and dangerous to walk in and out. Many door screens were torn. Batteries to a fan and tvs needed replacing. Specific replacement batteries not available so we had to buy them. Stairway to master bedroom had no railing and made going up and down dangerous. Outdoor had broken chairs and cushions and swing chair covered in bird poop.The family enjoyed being together especially the large dining room table and the outdoor hot tub.Host was responsive to our needs but our overall sense was this property is not well taken care of especially considering the large fee.
I can't praise this property enough, inside and outside are spacious & beautiful!! We hosted my son's wedding rehearsal dinner here. The gardens, barn & pond made for great pictures. I also had a family gathering after the wedding. All enjoyed a tour of the home & commented on its size & décor & history. The home rambles on with enough room for big gatherings or alone time. It is well stocked, has great water pressure & very comfortable. The sun light filters through the windows more gloriously than the picture shows. Several times my grandsons were thrilled to see & hear horses clip-clop down the road! Playing hide & seek was almost dangerous with so many places to hide. Another favorite was the downstairs bathroom door. If you didn't close it completely, but let it slowly close on its own...it creaked & groaned as the best ghost sound! Jeremy was most accommodating, friendly & quick to respond. I told he I would probably cry when I had to leave, and I did. You we fall in love with this property!
