Nice winter getaway from the city
Boston can be rough in winter, especially having moved to Boston recently from a small town, so it was lovely to get out of the city and stay at Plum Cove. The little cottage was lovely and peaceful, and Cape Ann was an amazing locale to explore. Can’t wait to come back to the area this summer!

Quick Getaway
Great two night getaway in Gloucester. Cottage is cozy and very comfortable. Christine was great to work with and definitely would recommend staying here keeping in mind that access to the bedroom involves navigating a spiral staircase but this was not problematic.

Beautiful spot
It is a wonderful cottage in a beautiful spot. The beach is near-by - about .2 miles and the walk there is pleasant. All that was needed was there. One element can't be improved, and that is parking. The garage is very hard to negotiate and the parking spot, while usable, requires pulling into and turning around in an area of the development where some neighbors dispute boundaries as it were. There also needs to be improvement with the kitchen chairs. One was "repaired" but not made usable. We took it outside and made it usable ourselves. Overall, however, this is a great place and I'd stay there again!

Somewhat disappointing
Outside area had moldy furniture very unkept not pleasant for sitting out. There was an unkept pond area that had green water in it should be filled in and made into a patio seeing as though it's the only place to sit and see the ocean. There were some ants and silverfish in the bathroom. It was a cute place and had everything we needed though. Would not stay again.

Cozy stay.
We loved the cottage. Perfect for my husband and I. Very short walk to Plum Cove. What we didn’t bring were cards, cribbage board etc. would recommend that be added to amenities.
