Lanes Cove Carriage House
Review Submitted: August 4, 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
This year we wanted to take our family on a different type of vacation. After vacationing mainly in the south, I wanted to take my family on an east coast vacation. Previously, I had been to Cape Cod a few times but discover the "other" cape while searching VRBO. Cape Ann turned out to be a wonderful experience. The carriage house at Lanes Cove was spacious and beautiful. The pictures do not due the house justice. It was perfect for a family of four but could accommodate five or six nicely. The property was clean and well maintained. The evenings we do not go out for dinner, we ate outside on the lawn. Afterward we were able to either walk down a private path to Lanes Cove and watch the sunset or walk to Plum Cove Beach which was only 4/10 of a mile from the house. This became our go to beach as we did not need to drive and pay to park at on of the larger public beaches. While initially the cost was a little more than I had planned to spend, the money was well worth it. The newness, cleanliness, and proximity to everything on the north shore made this a great buy. And if you are into running, you are not far from Dogtown Commons. I was able to hook up with Team Gloucester and they guided me on a 90 minute trail run through Dogtown Common. This was an added bonus of the trip.
