Review
5/5 The stay was great! One concern I had was the locking mechanisms on the kitchen door and French doors. It took us a little while to figure out how to lock the kitchen door, but the French glass door would not lock for us.

5/5 This was a perfect space for us. The cottage was well appointed with everything we needed and very convenient to many attractions in Gloucester. The off street parking was definitely a plus. We ate outdoors whenever possible, relaxed in the chairs overlooking the river and had a wonderful show of white and blue herons one morning. We would choose this place again when traveling to Gloucester.

Perfect Fishing Trip Place to Stay
5/5 We fished out of Cape Ann Marina and the house is less than one minute away. Clean and quiet in a perfect location. We'll be back!
