Description of the Gloucester - Annisquam vacation house rental

From its perch on a high bluff, The Charles Hovey House (c.1845) surveys a panoramic sweep of Gloucester Harbor. Cape Ann's most prestigious historic home, The Hovey House has been fully restored with period antiques and original art. Crystal chandeliers suspended from twelve-foot ceilings, gleaming parquet floors, gilded mirrors, antique six-foot soaking tubs, and five marble fireplaces contribute to the atmosphere of relaxed elegance. The one-acre lot is abloom from spring to frost with lush gardens surrounded by rolling lawns. An awning-covered veranda, 50' long, overlooks Ten Pound Island and two lighthouses (the opening scene from The Perfect Storm), and the comings and goings of the Gloucester fishing fleet, schooners and yachts. The Hovey House at times operates as a B&B and so is fully appointed with lovely linens, towels and many other amenities.

Gloucester is the oldest working seaport in America, and prides herself on not being 'tourist-y'. She is also the oldest art colony, a consequence of being on the same latitude as Tuscany and Provence. Like her European counterparts, the quality of the light has made Gloucester a Mecca for artists for centuries. This is also one of the top five whale watching areas in the world. Another superlative: If antiquing is your thing, Gloucester is nearly 400 years old; what comes of folks' cellars and attics is the real thing. There's so much more to do here: charter fishing, hiking, biking, shopping, kayaking, birding (one of the top areas in the US), sunset schooner cruises, theaters, museums, live music, beautiful beaches, tours, world-class dining. And Boston is only 45 minutes away by train or car.
