The views were excellent! The house was perfect for a group! We could have used a microwave but the oven worked for heating up food. It was peaceful and quiet after roaming around Salem.

Cottage was okay. Location was good. Parking was poor. We had to drive up a grassy and leaf covered hill and park on sloping grass. Very difficult and unsafe. I have back issues and had to have my husband assist me to the house from our parking area. I

Perfect!
The cottage was a perfect place for my family and I to stay while visiting New England! Chris was very easy to communicate with and gave outstanding recommendations on places to go and see. The cottage is older, with some history, just like the surrounding areas. After battling the traffic in Boston and Salem, we loved the ability to come back to our private cottage on the hill and just relax. We enjoyed the stay and area and will definitely be back again.

Little slice of heaven!
We had an amazing time at this beautiful property! The home is so cozy, it felt like home. We were able to see falcons, red tailed hawks, and deer almost on a daily basis. Watching the tide go in and out was so peaceful. The sunsets and sunrise are beyond description. Our host was extremely gracious. We can’t wait to go back again!

Beautiful vacation
Our dream has always been to visit Salem and the surrounding areas. While looking for a place to stay near Salem we ran into Ipswich and decided to stay here. We absolutely fell in love with Ipswich so much we didn’t want to leave once we arrived. The house was in the perfect spot! Close enough to the beach and close to town for our everyday needs. The house has plenty of room for everyone in the family and the most beautiful view while you eat breakfast. Thank you so much Mr Crockett for your hospitality and tips on places to visit. We can’t wait to come back to stay at your place one day.

Fall at the cottage
This property has beautiful views. The sunset and sunrise are breathtaking. The colors of the trees and the proximity to Cranes beach made our stay wonderful. The cottage itself is old and furniture could be updated (starting to fall apart). It is cozy and worked well for our family but there are a few things that would be helpful to know prior to staying here... bring your own soap (hand soap), paper towels, tissues, and garbage bags. The 1 shower has extremely low pressure supply. It is important to know that to get into the cottage you have to walk across the lawn probably 50 yards (no walkway for strollers or wheels of any kind). There are some newer windows on the first level but the old ones are full of cobwebs and don’t stay open without support. The lack of window coverings is uncomfortable (but we just hung sheets over the bathroom and bedroom window). There is no privacy in the upstairs loft (2 twin beds). And finally the beeping noise that another renter mentioned last month (September) was still there!!! It went off about every 15/20 mins. Overall we had a good stay, the property manager was easy to communicate with and was there the majority of the time. We had a good trip!

Nice house in Gorgeous setting
This setting surpasses imagination -- set high above the salt marshes with a lovely breeze and gorgeous views. The house is tastefully decorated with real (albeit tired) furniture and beautiful artwork. I think it may have been a while since the owner/managers have imagined actually living there. While most of the bed and bath linens are high quality and ample in quantity, a couple of the mattresses have clearly seen better days -- for adult use anyway. We are a family (three generations consisting of 6 adults and 1 preschooler) of foodies and cooks and found the kitchen oddly (rather than "fully") equipped. For example, a vast amount of plates, glasses, flatware & cork removers, but few bowls (large or small) or cooking utensils and no measuring spoons/cups. If the kitchen had been more accurately described, we'd simply have brought a bit more equipment (a large pot, for instance) with us and been happier. If we'd know there would be no paper goods (napkins, paper towels, toilet paper), we'd have packed some. The lack of a range hood makes the smoke alarms prone to going off during meal prep -- explaining why several had been taken down (probably by previous guests?). We decided to put them back up and deal with the false alarms rather than go without their protection. Missing light bulbs and outlet covers puzzled us -- was it advisable (safe) to use those fixtures? A battery backup alarm sounded several times a day -- even after being "disabled" by the manager. A week felt like not quite enough time to get used to all the many quirks that would have become routine after a longer stay.. Nonetheless, we had a very enjoyable time. We ate out a bit more than we wanted to, but perhaps only the amount most people would have chosen. It was pure joy to spend a week within a mile of beautiful Crane Beach and wake up everyday in such a heavenly setting.

The view of the Essex River salt marshes from the top of the hill is exquisite. The cottage is thoughtfully decorated with subtle colors, great paintings, soft linens and towels... a dream come true... thank you so much for this experience!

Great location & view.
the view was great. Also loved the skylight in the master bedroom. It let the full moon shine in. The location was nice for our day trips and the place was comfortable and relaxing.
