VIEWS! Annisquam Bridge House at Lobster Cove. Booking Spring and Summer.

My friend and I chose this house because of the views and location, and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed the walk across the bridge, especially during sunset to enjoy the water views. The bridge was even closer than I expected which was a nice surprise! The drive into Gloucester was about ten mins but felt like less - it was an easy straight shot to shopping and dining. The house was clean and comfortable. Check in and out was super easy - only talked to Shelley during those times to notify her when we arrived and left - she's very nice! I would definitely recommend staying here if you need a place to stay North of Boston.

We loved being located right next to the Annisquam footbridge, which we walked across to easily reach lovely, uncrowded Lighthouse Beach on the other side of the village within 10 minutes.Staying at Annisquam Bridge House was nice because it's roomy, and being on the second floor, we could leave windows, shades, and the balcony doors open for optimal light and fresh air, while still having privacy.The kitchen, living room, and bedrooms were well-equipped with anything we might need, and the furniture was very comfortable.Overall, everything was thoughtful and excellent, and we would stay here again.(The only hard thing was hauling our suitcases up the stairs to the apartment, because we are both in our 70s. Younger, more physically-fit guests would have no problem).

We had a wonderful time at the Annisquam Bridge House. There is a beautiful view of Lobster Cove. It’s a quick walk to the bridge that overlooks the water. The place was very clean and had more space than we thought. The king size bed was very comfortable. There’s a nice beach within walking distance with amazing sunsets. The location is great. Everything we did was just a short drive away. Shelly was an amazing host. If we had questions she was very quick to text back.

Zero issues with anything with the rental and communication was always there if I needed it. Would highly recommend it!

We loved this beautiful cottage that overlooks the Annisquam River and footbridge over to the village of Annisquam. It is quintessential New England charm. All the amenities are spot on and the owners have ensured no detail is overlooked. Beachy/seaside vibe, the king bed is to die for, it's huge, with a soft down-like mattress pad that feels like you're floating in the clouds. Every room has AC/Heat for ultimate comfort and lots of windows for beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the river. The access to the unit is on the second floor and might be a bit steep for individuals with hip/knee issues. We walked across the wooden footbridge to Lighthouse Beach which was awesome, and also walked over to the Talise Restaurant for dinner which was equally awesome. No other food service available but a small store is very close within driving distance. We liked the location for its semi-rural, peaceful setting. The people we encountered on walks were very friendly. The landscape and scenery are postcard picturesque. The bedroom side of the unit faces a busy road that is only noticeable when sleeping but the owners very kindly provide a white-noise machine to help abate the traffic noise. With one small bathroom we were very comfortable but it would be a challenge with another couple! The owners were great and their communication made us feel very welcome. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Excellent

I am partial to Cape Ann, having visited there since childhood, but our recent stay in Gloucester, with access to Annisquam, showed me yet another (wonderful) neighborhood, with easy access to the water and a truly local feel. The apartment is clean, efficient, tastefully decorated, and extremely well appointed. It was also comfortable, in the sense that hanging in the living room watch the Olympics was very pleasant. The proximity to the road was not an issue, though pulling out of the parking spot required extra vigilance, at times. The location is ideal: so very close to Downtown Gloucester and Rockport, walking distance to Lanesville, and across the lovely bridge from Annisquam. Our son jumped from the bridge several times, and we chatted with locals on the public boat launch. The beach pass to Squam Rock was a bonus: I did not know this jewel of a beach before, and it is lovely! Would absolutely return should I vacation on Cape Ann in the future.

Beautiful views!!!

We spent 3 nights here. The apt is small but perfectly apportioned. The bed and bedding were so very comfortable (always a fear when renting). The location is so close to the water and the charming bridge & lobster cove. Shelley has thought of everything to make her guests comfortable. Extra blankets, seating on the patio, local information. It’s perfect and we hope to return.

The view was even better than I anticipated, We loved being able to see the boats come and go and to see the walking bridge across the river less than a minute from our door. and see the kids jumping off of it and enjoying themselves. The 2 bedroom place was great. Comfortable. Spacious. Shelly (our host) was wonderful. Overall a fabulous experience.
