About this property

Great location in beautiful Rockport. The house is a ten minute walk into town - Bearskin Neck shopping, art galleries, restaurants and the Shalin Liu Performance Center. Also a short drive to some of the Cape Ann's best beaches.

***PLEASE NOTE the stairs are original and a bit steeper then average. The house is not suitable for small children or people who have knee challenges.

This family home was built in 1876 and is lovingly maintained. The family is related to Richard Tarr one of the first settlers in Rockport. Quaint, charming, sunny and cozy. There are special touches like the hand painted murals from the 1940's that make the house uniquely inviting. There is a lovely garden and patio for outdoor dining.

This house has three bedrooms- the spacious master with one queen, a second small bedroom with two twins and a tiny bedroom on the ground floor with a single. The driveway serves two cars with additional street parking available.

Comfortable, relaxing, and historic.

My husband and I stayed here and we were very comfortable. Rockport is such a cozy New England town. I would definitely stay here again. Karen was so easy to work with and very kind. The stairs are doable, which I was somewhat concerned with but there wasn’t anything to worry about.

Artist Haven

A lovely cottage in walking distance to small beaches and amazing galleries. Historic local family has owned this cottage and the love and care is felt in every room. We cooked all our meals, the kitchen has all you need. Vintage dishes, art and furniture makes it feel like you walked back in time. Hung out on the patio sipping coffee and admiring the garden.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was cozy and comfortable, and we all slept like babies each night. The beds are so comfortable! We enjoyed visiting in the living room each night, and we were very comfortable throughout. We had all we needed. P.s. the steps are steep but there is a railing on each side so even my 74-year-old mother was able to go up without a problem. We loved walking to breakfast and shopping, and found the town to be incredibly charming. We had the best time! Highly recommend!

Excellent!

This house is adorable, cozy and comfortable, and filled with multigenerational family history and memories. We truly felt like we were locals who lived in this home for the week. We had everything we needed. We made use of the bikes provided and there were also nice beach chairs, towels, and other recreational items for guest use. Karen was easy to communicate with and answered my questions promptly. We absolutely loved our week in Rockport and our stay in this very special, charming home.

Rockport Respite

Four adults were comfortable and enjoyed this unique property. Cute house, just a few minutes’ walk to the harbor, shops, and restaurants of this charming seacoast village. We recommend seeing a show at Shalin Liu if you can; a highlight! Just walking around Rockport is fun. We forgot to order sunshine, but made the best of four rainy days. Recommended if you like old houses and family history.

Exceptional Stay

We had a fantastic time at this property. The house was cute, historic, and filled with personal history. It was short walk to downtown Rockport, the piers, and Bearskin Neck. In addition, the property manager Rachael was amazing and super nice. We had a problem with the TV, and she came over during a middle of storm to help us fix it! We had a perfect stay at this house, and we would most definitely stay here again.

Lovely House Full of History

My mom, my aunt, and I so enjoyed staying at this lovely historic home in Rockport! We visited Boston and Salem, but Rockport is a great destination all on its own, with cute shops and delicious restaurants. This home situated in a quaint seaside village is welcoming and comfortable after a long day of exploring and shopping!

Adorable little house in Rockport

Such a sweet little house in Rockport. We enjoyed our stay in the house and the area is gorgeous. Just a short little walk into town with its fabulous views. There are plenty of shopping and restaurants to choose from. The house had everything we needed and all the little mementos are a special touch. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your house with us, we had a wonderful time!
