As you step through the threshold of this sensitively restored 1680 residence, you are transported to an earlier time—immersed in the history of the home and the area. One of the oldest homes in the Essex corridor, the interior of the William Haskell House has remained virtually untouched since it was built and is documented as one of the finest examples of a First Period Colonial house that exists today.

Stayed Oct 3, 2025AMAZING place! We originally went with this location because our adult kids thought it looked spooky and would fit perfectly with a weekend trip to Salem. We really didn’t appreciate before getting there what a cool historical place this way! When it comes to communication, Natalie is a great host who was helpful and friendly at all times. When we’re back in the area, this is the location where my wife is going to make sure we stay again. Just an overall awesome place!

Stayed Aug 14, 2025I would give this property all of the stars in the Milky Way if I could. It’s an amazing historic home with breathtaking architecture and antiques, yet all the modern comforts. Natalie is a responsive and gracious host. I would absolutely come back again.

Stayed Mar 3, 2025The absolutely coolest place I’ve ever stayed. It’s like staying a night in a house museum, but with the comfiest and cleanest modern bed linens. Can’t wait to come back!

Stayed Oct 30, 2024The entire 4 days was like exploring a museum with private access. Words can't describe the experience.. It is filled with antiques and things that go bump in the night. We discovered a new door camouflaged in the walls every day.

Stayed Aug 2, 2024This house takes you back in time. Looking out the windows into the nature reserve really gives you an idea of what life was like 100s of years ago - but with HVAC, heat, and electricity! We felt like we had snuck into a museum. Exploring was so much fun. This really tied in with researching our Puritan ancestors and was a great experience. Really loved it. Thank you so much to the owners for letting people rent this house.

Stayed Jul 19, 2024We had the perfect vacation in this in this house! It was surprisingly very comfortable with AC and a fully functioning kitchen. We had someone give us a private historical tour of the house as recommended by the host and it took our stay to the NEXT LEVEL! Couldn’t recommend staying here more - hope to go back some day with my family to share the experience with them too!
