An amazing stay! Very welcoming, very clean, very accommodating and so much more! We had a very late check in and accommodations were made, the food was so good with lots of options. The rooms were clean and large with loads of charm! We came on our honeymoon and would 100% come again!

Super quaint, peaceful, idyllic, historic Inn! Awesome location right in the middle of the Marblehead Historic District. We walked less than 5 min to dinner at The Landing and then to drinks at Maddie’s Sail Loft. Highly recommend!
