Great walkable location. Love the historic charm. Could use some yard cleanup but overall wonderful property, location, easy check in and love the bathroom and kitchen decor
Beautiful quiet cottage on lovely southern street.
Staying in Gloucester is just wonderful. You can walk to the produce market, the library, several good restaurants. It’s quiet and everyone is friendly.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was very fresh and clean. However, we would have preferred to have a TV, so we could have kicked back to watch a movie at night.

From the Owner: "Thank you for your review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay. After seeing your comment, we have added a new TV to the home. Please come back and enjoy it."
What a wonderful place to stay! The home is incredible, with an amazing sunroom and excellent kitchen! Wish we could transport the entire place into our actual apartment — very lovely, and such a nice treat to experience the town of Gloucester. Hope to stay here again!
We were traveling from Texas to Maine and needed a place to stay in the area while visiting friends on our route. The house was clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable beds, well stocked and owners/property management company had good communication.
The house was very comfortable and clean with everything provided for the stay. The location is on a quiet street yet only a short walk to an incredible sweet shop and great restaurant. It was awesome to sit on the sun porch and listen to the birds chirping. We loved it.
Beautifully restored interior. Air conditioning worked great. Quiet street but only steps to Main Street. Especially good for visiting residents at Riverside Sanders which is just a block away.
The property was perfect! The home was very clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable too! Parking was good and the little sitting area on the front porch was nice. It had more room than we really needed with the cute little sun porch.
Absolutely amazing! So this is a house from 1920 that was reburbished and retained such amazing touches that are not found in today's builds. Everything was perfect--amazing kitchen, high end mattresses (yes, we have stayed in places where we would rather sleep on the floor), great neighborhood, close to everything in Gloucester. Just loved everything about it. Not a Ritz, but a Ritz for Gloucester for sure!!!!!! absolutely 5***** and will stay again on our next trip
Great midpoint to all the attractions. The town of Gloucester has close restaurants, shopping whether you want to walk or drive a short distance. I wasnt aware of the toll coming back and forth to Yorktown. Honestly, for us the 20 minute drive was worth it. The property is on a quiet street with food options within a 5 minute walk.
House was super clean, kitchen well outfitted (great to have a basic spices but at least there was salt and pepper:)). Driveway was more off-road than we expected which is not a big deal but stepping stones or some such would be great in the rain.

House was in a good location. Did not have a working fire place as stated. Cleanliness left a lot to be desired.
