Great place to stay in a very safe neighborhood about four blocks from the Harbor. Stairs are steep as it is an older house.

Loved Addison Choate. Staff was personable and responsive. I understand that it has been recently renovated and the rooms were well designed. My group consisted of three sets of friends and myself. It was interesting seeing the various layouts in the rooms. I highly recommend it if you are anywhere in the Rockport. Frankly it would be worth a trip by itself.

Had the best time staying here for my husbands birthday. The service was impeccable. The only complaint is our shower was in the same place as the toilet and was extremely small. But every thing else was excellent.

My stay at Addison Choate was nothing short of magnificent. I was in town for a work training be held at Endicott College- while that's a 1/2 away- every night returning to Addison Choate I felt like I was going home. Marshall and Courtney took such great care of me, their property, and everyone I encountered there. I mean, they left more candies of the ones I had eaten all of in the remaining days after discovering my preference. They went out of their way to make my stay special but recommending local restaurants, making sure my cable got the US Open on it, and even picking something for me that would have been closed once I returned from work. in a word- AMAZING. Stay here. DO IT!

We stayed in a small cottage (timber frame) it was absolutely beautiful and well appointed. We have both sides and they opening the doors between the sections. The cottage had free waters daily and anything you could possibly need in the immediate area. Staff was kind and courteous throughout our stay.

Well cared for Inn—nice amenities also. Owner is very accommodating; however, if you are older or have bad knees request a room on the first floor. The stairs to our room were extremely steep and narrow.

Lovely Inn and well maintained. The carpet in our room didn’t seem to have been vacuumed but that’s a small detail. Our room was small with the chimney running through it but our trip was rather last minute & the room was cozy.

We were extremely disappointed that the inn did not serve any breakfast. Highly unusual. In a letter placed in the room, the inn management said they had stopped serving breakfast because it was too expensive. The room was lovely and the bed extremely comfortable.

Beautiful place. As others have said stairs are very steep so ask for the first floor options unless you and your knees/hips are in tip top shape. Loved Rockport and we could walk to everything. Stairs are the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars

What an excellent experience. We were within walking distance of everything in down town Rockport. The bathroom/shower was compact but very functional. The bedroom and living area were comfortable, with our own personal private outdoor patio. If you like tiny-home living, this is a perfect spot. We'll definitely be coming back!
