Gloucester, Massachusetts
Our serene, open floor plan home features everything you need for a short stay or a long term get away. Our goal was comfortable and attractive- a place we like to go and share. I hope you agree. (need reviews- this is a new listing for us but look to our other place Cove Cottage #116852) We are walking distance to everything, Lanes Cove, Plum Cove and quarries in the heart of funky, scenic Lanesville. Park your car (in your own dedicated spot). Stroll to the Package/General store, post office, Cafe and more. Convenient, yet private! At 1,100 square feet it is bigger than some three bedroom homes we have seen but as it is open with a modern, beach feel we count it as a one bedroom. The 'official' bedroom is upstairs overlooking the Cove, it features a queen and a twin and a sitting area. Downstairs there is comfortable seating for all your friends, three full couches, two dining areas, an office/desk area and a full kitchen with all the appliances (and a well stocked pantry). In the rare occasion it is too hot or cold we have that covered. We recently renovated and installed a/c through heat pumps (split systems). We also offer wifi and cable in case you need to get a bit of work done, and a full laundry.
Why we love Lanesville. If you have been there you will know-Lanesville is a funky village home to an eclectic crew, lobstermen, artists and a white and blue collar workforce. A highlight of life in the Cove is the sunsets, residents and visitors make the evening pilgrimage to the Cove wall or Plum Cove to enjoy what has been dubbed some of the best sunsets in the world. They really are! Outdoor, adventure travelers will love Lanesville too for it's easy access to the water, and quarries and Greenbelt trails-Kayaks, SUP, and mountain bikes are everywhere. Need more adventure Halibut Point State Park is a mile down the 'Scenic road'
Prefer a more sedate vacation. Park it on the deck, overlook the Cove with a good book or maybe cook up some fresh lobsters from down the street- or start the grill. Shopping in nearby Bearskin neck, or taking in a concert at the many musical venues including the Shalin Liu Center is an option. Shopping in Gloucester is fun too.
Everyone will enjoy nearby adventures, including whale watches- though we have seen them right off the rocks, visiting the wolves or the big sandy beaches in town- Wingarsheek and Good Harbor. Try to save some time for Hammond Castle, the wonderful Cape Ann Museum, Brewery and distillery tours and of course great eats! All good rainy day escapes or just to try!
We accept well behaved dogs... the smaller and quieter the better- let's talk about yours. Mine are perfect :) Dog deposit for cleaning. Dog friendly cove is a huge plus!

Great quiet location to relax. Wonderful owners and hidden gem. We had a wonderful vacation in Gloucester.
We stayed here in 2019 and were so excited to find the listing again four years later. The property is pretty and airy and the kitchen is large and well-stocked with implements and condiments. The flowers on the porch create a fairyland with hummingbirds and ocean views to boot. A package store a couple of doors down magically had exactly the groceries we needed when we needed them. A few doors further down is a bakery and sandwich shop. A block away in the opposite direction was a small but perfect playground for our active 7-year-old. Alexandra is an excellent, responsive host. On both visits she has gone above and beyond the expected to make our experience as wonderful as possible. She’s great.
The property is located in a wonderful spot a stone's throw away from Lane Cove and a local cafe and package store. It has a comfortable vibe in the decorating and furnishings. We have a wonderful vacation touring Cape Ann. We especially appreciated the pet friendly policy of the host.
We enjoyed our visit in lanesville!
My family of four (including two kids) enjoyed this spacious and comfortable rental with easy access to so many great spots. We had a lovely time and Alix was so kind and communicative. Really great experience!
This property gave me a reprieve and a place to relax while working in the area. The house is bright and sunny, decorated in a nautical theme with a little dog theme thrown in. Very nicely done. The view from the back table and porch were stunning. Very comfortable seating areas (yes, areas) and nicely stocked kitchen. Walking distance to water, cafe and beach. Very convenient! Close to all the tourist spots too.
We felt super comfortable at this little place overlooking the cove. Great hosts and a wonderful spot for walks and sunsets. We had our dogs and we were made to feel so comfortable with them including dog bowls and treats! Our hosts did everything they could to help us feel at home. We would return!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lanesville!! The view from the deck and the cove we’re stunning!! Alix and John were very relaxed and welcoming !! We were very comfortable in their home!!
Beautiful views in fabulous dog-friendly Lane’s Cove. Owners are very kind and generous.
I am hesitant to share what a great place this is as others will find out. The house itself is not what makes it so special but truly its location. First off, you can literally walk to everything from your front door. Beach, quarries, state park, restaurants, stores and more. The sunset’s from the balcony are amazing but what really sets it apart are the neighbors themselves. I have traveled all over the world but have never encountered such lovely people. I had people stop by on several occasions to say hi, pet my dogs or invite me over to enjoy a glass of wine by their fire. This place is absolutely perfect and just what I needed. And the owners, they are amazing too! I will definitely be back.
