Gloucester - Annisquam Vacation Rental cottage

What a delightful property. My husband and I just returned from a week at Gateway Cottage. We have visited Cape Cod several times in the past and decided to try a new area we had not been to before and chose the Gloucester area. The cottage was better than depicted on the web site. There was a warm and welcoming feeling immediately upon entering. The basket of goodies and the next morning's breakfast items which were waiting for us was a special touch. The cottage was well equipped, much more so than some other rentals we have visited. The premises were clean and beautifully decorated - it is apparent that the owners took great care in their planning.

My brother and his wife joined us for the first few nights of our stay, and there was plenty of room for us all to be comfortable. Having separate bathrooms for each couple was an important consideration when searching for a vacation rental.

We traveled into Boston twice - once driving in ourselves, and another time on the commuter train. I strongly recommend the train for anyone unfamiliar with the city. We also visited Rockport one day and Salem another.

Although not what anyone wants to do on a vacation, we also had occasion to visit the Gloucester hopsital emergency room, and we were well treated. I recommend avoiding that particular site when planning your trip!! (nothing serious, by the way.)

We hope to return and will certainly seek out the Gateway Cottage for our next visit. THANKS for sharing this lovely location.
