The Anchor House Marblehead Retreat - Minutes to Old Town and Historic Salem!

You will love this 3 bedroom house in a family friendly neighborhood with just a 2 minute walk to Green Street Woods and less than a 10 min walk to Stramski’s Playground and Beach facilities. Explore Old Town Marblehead which is minutes away and downtown Salem is only a 10 minute drive. Our home has a nicely updated kitchen that transitions to a generous open plan for the living and dining room area with beautiful hardwood flooring. There is an extra sitting area with a comfortable daybed just perfect for reading or napping on the first floor as well as a lovely bedroom with an adjacent half bath and laundry access. The second floor has two fully carpeted bedrooms and an updated spacious full bath. Love the outdoors? There is a patio area and stone wall behind the house then up a few steps to an open back yard for outdoor games. Decorated with intentional New England cottage style, our home is sunny, comfortable and spacious. It's perfect for families, friends or just a peaceful get away for anyone. Great for any season.

Dogs allowed at an additional fee. No smoking or vaping inside. No loud events or parties.

Even better than expected!
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.

Vacation Home
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!
