NEW -Lakefront 2 Bed/1 bath + Extra Loft sleeps 6

Relaxing 2 bedroom/1bath + loft space with bathtub - sleeps 6. The house sits on a lakefront property with a large backyard, grill and patio, and a private dock. The lake is a wonderful place to visit any time of year. Lots of charming towns to visit nearby. Boston is only a 45 minute drive or an hour by train. The train station is 15 minutes from the house in Manchester-by-the-sea. The house is a 5 minute drive from the local restaurants and brewery in Essex. Several grocery stores 15-20 minutes away.

This place truly is a little slice of heaven. As soon as you walk into the living you are met by a breathtaking view of the lake and behind you sits an incredible fireplace. The fireplace works; we ask that only duraflame logs are used. The kitchen is fully equipped with plates and dishes for up to 6 people. Work from home desk in the sunroom overlooking the lake with a sit down / standup desk option. There is one bedroom on the first floor with a Queen bed overlooking the lake, and a second bedroom with a king bed overlooking the street. There is a full bathroom on the first floor with toilet and shower.

Upstairs on the second floor is a "loft" type space with two twin beds and a gorgeous free standing bathtub. There is also a child's play area with a tent, toys, and books.

All beds are extra comfy and all linens are from the wonderful Ameridown Outlet. All furniture is sourced from local antique stores or furniture designers in the area.

The house has driveway parking for up to 3 cars. Lots of walking trails that can be reached from the house. Downtown Essex is only a short bike ride or 5 minute car ride away.

For anyone with children, we offer a pack n play upon request. We also have a high chair, safety gate, a set of toddler dishes, an indoor play tent, balance bike, and several puzzles/books. We have an extra child size blow up mattress upon request.

For anyone looking to work from the house we have a brand new Uplift work from home desk located in the sunroom overlooking the lake.

We have a yoga mat, light weights, and exercise bands for anyone that enjoys a workout at home. Yoga overlooking the lake is truly wonderful!

Perfect Lake Cottage
We stayed at this lovely cottage on our trip to Salem,Ma and it is conveniently located within about 20 mins to Salem. While we were not visiting Salem we ventured around Gloucester and visited many delicious restaurants and viewed the ocean. 10/10 recommend and look forward to coming back!

Wonderful family vacation, we'll always come back here...
Had a magnificent time staying in this house for a week, as was very short drive to Salem and grocery stores right around the corner. Captured a wonderful wildlife video of two ducks looking for and finding a place to nest at the edge of the property near the lake. Which is just a few steps out back and you're ready to go fishing off your own private dock, or just feed the ducks and fish, it's fun. Secluded and private and neighbors are friendly all around. I'm kind of jealous of all the nice things made available as if my home had such lovely artifacts and pre-stocked home necessities like toilet paper and towels, bedding etc...This wonderful place is going to be seeing us again in the near future, as we have all agreed that this is our new favorite place to stay when coming back to Salem some day. And I must say, by the way, you also try to have a good day today, in some way, okay. Mark S.
