My family and I had a wonderful week staying at the Anchor House. Everything was clean and welcoming. The beds were all comfortable and the kitchen has every gadget you could think of. The location is great, in a very nice neighborhood. Check in was super easy. My husband had a question about the tv's, so I texted Bill. He responded immediately. I would highly recommend staying at the Anchor House, you wont regret it.

Property was just as described. Very clean and nicely appointed with period piece decorations throughout the house. Had a heating issue on day one, and Bill took care of it very quickly the next day. Quick Uber ride to both Marblehead and Salem. Highly recommend!

The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s so incredibly charming. It’s a great location for exploring Salem, but hanging around the house is also very enjoyable. Every night we settled in for family movie night on the couch. The hosts were responsive and accommodating. Whole place was clean and delightful. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful Home

My friends and I stayed in this house to visit Salem. We’re in our late 30’s-early 40’s and we found this house to be absolutely beautiful. It was super clean and the owners were easy to communicate with. Salem was about 10-15 mins away and Marblehead is stunning. It was a perfect weekend and we would stay here again.

Loved this property! Home was beautiful and inviting and in a great location. We rented a car so quick trips to Salem were easy and the Marblehead area beautiful. Owner's had super fast response for a question we had and even left a gift for our arrival.

Warm and relaxing

Stayed in Marblehead for a Celebration of Life. The house was comfortable, had a large yard for the kids to play in and the 1 year old learned to climb stairs (totally his option LOL), Rooms are larger than you expect and plenty of room to find your own space. I would recommend it for a family and it is pet friendly. Thanks Bill for letting us stay there.

Family Christmas Gathering

We used the Anchor House as a gathering place for family coming in from around the country and living on the North Shore. The large living area was perfect for both exchanging gifts and having a sit down dinner. Bill, our host, went above and beyond making sure the place was ready for our visit, including having Xmas decorations in place and a tree put up. We had a great time. Thanks, Bill!
