The host was very kind and accommodating! The host provides quick responses to questions/concerns. They also ensured we were having a great, comfortable stay, and checked if we needed anything often. The place was adorable, very clean, and comfortable! Perfect for a weekend get away, especially for a couple. The bed is as comfortable and the shower is very nice. The area is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay in Marblehead. Would definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you to the wonderful hosts! About a 15 minute drive to Salem

Beautiful and cozy cottage!I honestly could not have decorated this cottage any better myself! Every little detail was absolutely beautiful, from the floral curtains and gorgeous wooden beams to the fresh flowers on the table and the beautiful gold cutlery. The cottage was warm, cozy, and inviting, and you could tell so much thought and care went into making it special.The little extra touches made our stay even more wonderful. The Halloween pumpkins, cookies, and mints were such a sweet surprise, and the cottage had absolutely everything we needed and then some! Even the clock that charges your phone and tells you the temperature and the espresso machine were thoughtful touches that made the stay feel extra special.The location was perfect, too, with a great distance from Salem, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer.We also had a delayed flight and ended up arriving late, so we truly appreciated the understanding and hospitality of our hosts. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, comfortable, or welcoming place to stay. I would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the area, and I would happily stay here again!
