This place was absolutely amazing! The view is one of the best views weve had. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the river but our stay was just a short weekend . Kim is great and the house was well stocked and very clean.

The cottage was spectacular! We walked in and the place was so clean and stocked with all the basics you would need for a river weekend getaway. We brought our boat down for the weekend, and the dock had solar led lights to guide us back to the dock - very nice touch! The only negative was the stove top was cracked and didn’t realize till after we purchased food at the grocery store.

Perfect for sunsets and birdwatching

It was the perfect location for a relaxing long weekend. The place is very nice, very clean, perfect for a couple, with a beautiful view on the river and beautiful sunsets. The screened in porch is great and we got to see bald eagles from the backyard. We will definitely come back off season for another quiet stay.

This is a lovely property! The screened porch is the cherry on top! The house was SPOTLESS & Kim made sure that we had absolutely everything we could have needed! The neighborhood is quiet, the town of Gloucester is close by & friendly. We stayed in most of the time & took advantage of the well organized& stocked kitchen. Lots of time on the porch, which was cool even on hot days! This place is a tiny jewel!!! Check out the Gloucester Brewery & Zoll’s Winery! We’ll be back, thank you, Kim, for your hard work, and mostly for being communicative & fun!!!!
