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!
