Comfy like home

This was our second stay at this property. We were pleased to be able to secure this spot again. Natasha was in touch with us at the start of our stay, making sure that we had everything we needed and to make sure things met our expectations. She has provided necessities as well as thoughtful items to make our stay comfortable. This time she also had holiday decorations placed in the house to keep with the season. The decor, the furnishings, the linens, the king size bed, kitchen equipment are all very good quality. All designed to let you feel at home. She has succeeded!

Lovely Home

This property is very nice and very clean. It is located within walking distance of cute shops and restaurants. There is parking at the side of the property so it is easy to transfer heavy luggage inside. There is a muted church bell that rings every hour which might disturb light sleepers. We were just off a red eye flight so it didn't really bother us. We had a great stay!

Lovely place, was very roomy for two of us. All amenities are in new working order. Extremely warm outside on our visit so we drove most places, in normal conditions would have walked, everything is very close. Town of Marblehead is a gem and would stay at Natasha’s property again. Thank you!

We enjoyed the little cottage tucked away in the historic district. We were there for a wedding so it was a great place to land in between events. It is well maintained and well provisioned.

Romantic New England Seacoast Getaway

This property exceeded expectations! It was much larger than the photos show, three levels of living space, plus two outdoor areas. The house was so light and airy and had beautiful elements of old pine floors and exposed rafters in an open ceiling. The brand new washer and dryer were a plus as well.

This was a warm, charming and relaxing place to stay as we toured and visited many places in the area. Our host, Natasha, was wonderful and communicated very well with us. My daughter wanted to move in upon first entering the property! It was better than I expected or the description showed. Definitely worth the visit! Thank you!

This property is amazing. From beginning to end it was such a great experience. The house is situated in a great neighborhood and we never felt unsafe. It is a quick drive to Boston and other smaller towns nearby. The property is super clean and honestly beautiful! We could not have asked for a better property. This won't be our last visit to this property if we ever find ourselves in the area again.

Beautiful Cozy Home!

I truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect home for my daughter and I to stay during our first Halloween weekend trip to Salem. Natasha was warm and welcoming and her home was just the perfect size. Only 10 minutes out of Salem, located in its own cute bustling little town, there plenty of things for us to do and eat there! Would highly recommend staying here! We will be back!

Love this house!

The house was cozy and inviting. The sofa was warm and comfortable, and the bedding was so fresh and clean. We settled right in to a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. Well equipped and beautifully decorated. The rain throughout our stay did not deter us from exploring all that the area has to offer. It was nice to get back to the house and warm up. We sincerely appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The trip was exactly what we hope for…

Beautiful house, really nice location, convenient to many things. We found the house charming, And very comfortable, beds, kitchen etc. We would certainly book again For anyone wondering about the Marblehead area, it seems to fit the bill from what I thought a coastal New England town should feel and look like. I know that sounds odd but not having spent any time in the area other than Cape Cod we were hoping for a certain feel and it delivered. We enjoyed all the shops, though the hours of operation were little odd, and the food, and scenery, and ability to walk and see different things was all excellent. The historical areas we visited were fascinating .There were some nice restaurants within walking distance of the house, easy walking distance I'm not talking about 20 to 30 minutes. The house was perfect with its location, just in general very user-friendly. We liked the little sitting area with the fire in the back.

Comfortable and Clean

Super clean, comfortable and bright inside. Very responsive host. At least 1/4 to half a mile walking distance to a few local restaurants. We love sitting outside at night so we would have liked a larger landscaped outdoor patio area. But if that's not your thing and you like to walk, you will love the house.
