A quaint little home in a quiet wooded cul de sac very close to a pond. Best for two people, as more than that it starts to get a little cozy for dining/sleeping/sitting purposes. Lovely view of the pond, although the home is set back a few houses from the pond itself.
This house is perfect for two or three people. It’s in good shape, has a small but fully working kitchen, and is right by the pond! My wife and I slept in the bedroom upstairs and our 17-year-old son slept on the futon in the living room. Very manageable. The laundry access is a nice bonus. Nice little house, fully functional. Would like to stay here again for the third time!

Very cute space!
Very cute spot! Lake was beautiful. Close for Ubering to and from Salem which is why we were there. There seemed to be a miscommunication on allowing us to check in early, however, bc when we arrived dirty towels were still in a pile on the bathroom and the bed sheets were used. Not a huge deal, we stripped the bed ourselves and added new sheets and cleaning crew came around 45 minutes before “normal” check in and did the rest. Also was pretty cold at night and in early morning and unsure how heat worked, not a lot of communication on the app but we were able to find a space heater downstairs in the basement! All in all good stay and comfortable space! Would stay again.
Perfect little place for two. Very tastefully appointed. Just a few steps to beautiful Pleasant Pond. Convenient to Gloucester, Rockport, Salem. Nice restaurants and a great bakery nearby. We loved it!!
This is a clean, modern, perfect little house just a stone’s throw from a clean, quiet perfect little swimming pond. Communication with host easy, check in easy, The neighbors are very friendly, we hope to return next summer.
The neighborhood was very charming. We all fell in love. The swans on the pond couldn’t have been more perfect. All around it was a wonderful stay and trip. My only suggestion would be to get a pull out couch. The futon wasn’t very comfortable.
The propery and location were great for what we needed BUT we could not get in touch with the host at all. We tried a couple times during our stay and then, when my son left his phone, we we tried to contact someone and nothing. We were ready to pay shipping etc. Couch should be upgraded from a futon.

This is a perfect house for a quiet vacation! The lake is beautiful, it is close to to many sights, and the house itself is clean and cozy. The hosts are extremely helpful and accommodating as well.

Nice little house, well maintained. Very clean, I found everything I needed. Quiet, relaxing place. Close to ocean shore towns, shopping, supermarkets and restaurants. We enjoyed kayaking and nature, we saw a swan family, ducks, frogs, dragonflies and turtles
