Massachusetts Tax ID: C0035771440

Bedroom 1: 2 Twin Beds | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Additional Sleeping: Foldable Queen Foam Mattress

Welcome to your new home-away-from-home, where you’ll find hardwood flooring throughout and a spacious great room featuring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams. On brisk evenings, light a fire in the fireplace to get the chill out of the air and curl up with a good book on the couch in the great room.

Anyone in the mood for a movie can head into the den to watch a family-friendly flick on the flat-screen TV or catch up on their favorite TV shows. This home also offers free wireless internet access for all of your entertainment needs.

Make your way into the fully equipped kitchen when bellies start to rumble and whip up a feast for your whole crew. An expansive wooden dining table in the great room is the perfect place to enjoy all of your home-cooked meals.

Retreat to one of the 2 bedrooms when it’s time to call it a night! Both bedrooms offer en-suite bathrooms ensuring everyone can wake up and get ready with ease each morning.

The best place to start your day is out on the deck, breathing in fresh air and taking in the beautiful sights of the property and Rantoul Pond. Who knows, you may even spot some local wildlife!

-- THE LOCATION --

Whether you’re visiting Ipswich to lay out on the beach, see historical sites, or spend some time in the great outdoors, you’ll find that this cottage is in the ideal location! When you’re not cooking for yourself, drive 9 minutes to downtown for a variety of tasty dining options including the Ipswich Clambake Co and Choate Bridge Restaurant.

Put on your swimsuit, pack up a picnic, and take a 2-mile drive down to Crane Beach - Ipswich’s most popular sandy beach. The adults will enjoy laying out and catching some rays while the kids build sandcastles. For more fun on the coast, be sure to check out Plum Island!

Don’t miss out on taking a tour of Castle Hill, an English-style mansion that sits on 165 acres of beautifully manicured grounds that slopes down towards the shore. The best part? The historic estate is just over 2 miles from your front door.

If you’re up for a history lesson (and potentially a scare), take a 15-mile drive down to Salem to learn all about the Salem Witch Trials!

Spring retreat
Very quiet getaway from the everyday city life. Wonderful community of small businesses. The heart and soul cafe in Ipswich is a must breakfast destination.

Beautiful cottage with a great view
The cottage was well cared for and had plenty of room to spread out. We loved sitting on the screen porch that overlooked the pond, listening to the birds. The location was convenient to beaches and other activities. Our host was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating.

One of my favorite vacation rentals of all time
I loved this place so much. When we first arrived at the property, we thought we might be at the wrong place; tucked away on a private hillside overlooking a pond, it's even lovelier and more picturesque than the listing photos. The house itself is artfully designed, with a smart layout and beautiful finishes. Each bedroom (there are really three, though one is set up as a den) has a private bathroom. The rooms are positioned far apart from one another, which is ideal for privacy and solitude. The house is stocked with everything you could need. The showers had great water pressure, and steamy hot water (a minor detail, I know, but I always appreciate it). The hosts were kind and very helpful. I suppose the only drawback of this place is its (lack of) proximity to town. It's super close to Crane Beach, which is precisely why we booked it. But it takes a good 15-20 minutes to get to a grocery store. We didn't mind this in the least, but I could see it being an inconvenience to some. Overall, I would recommend this place 100 times over. We hope to be back next summer.
