Mommy & Daughter Trip

The state was absolutely five stars! Cheryl is the sweetest person I've met in a very long time. I explained to her it was my first mommy daughter trip with my daughter who is 14 years old and I was a little nervous about being alone. She made me feel completely comfortable and safe and reassured me that I was in a beautiful neighborhood where all the neighbors take care of each other. She provided me a wonderful tour guide of things to see and things to do. Her energy was absolutely of a mama bear I couldn't be more grateful. Not to mention the view was absolutely amazing and the home was warm and cozy. I will absolutely stay here again when I have the opportunity to go back! If I can give this review 10 Stars!! And the best thing was the group hug we got from Cheryl! She is just a lovely lovely lovely lady! And we absolutely adored her!

Great space in a charming neighborhood. Our hosts were gracious answering questions and making recommendations. Enjoyed our morning coffee and evenings on the deck. The fireplace in the sitting room was a treat and the bathroom with large walk in shower was great. Loved it!

Return to Marblehead

We are Marblehead natives returning for a few days for 60th high school reunion. We particularly enjoyed being downtown in historical area with its narrow streets and challenging parking. Very close to harbor and good restaurants. For very informal and local hangout recommend Mattie’s . Great walking along Front St. The Stockers

This place has everything

A beautifully maintained 1700’s spot with exposed original beams and yet all the modern amenities you’ll need. In a great location, walk to local shops and restaurants and a short drive to Salem. Cheryl and David are attentive, responsive, awesome hosts. We had no problem finding a close place to park on the street. Highly recommend!!!

Incredible location

When I say that we fell in love with the neighborhood…I’m not lying. Everything is a walk away. We walked to the coffee house, book store, grocery store, and three different restaurants for dinner. It’s a historic neighborhood with houses built very long ago. This property is perfect for couples or small families. It has everything you need to include washer, dryer, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, and all the kitchen utensils. The view of the harbor is gorgeous and about a three minute walk away. I would not recommend this property for disabled individuals just because of the stairs. We had zero issues parking on the street, but just be aware that you may have to park down the street. We visited in the fall (Halloween), and it was absolutely beautiful. I almost don’t want to leave a good review so this place stays a secret but I can’t. Marblehead should be a main attraction instead of an outside suburb to visit. 💙

Bachelorette Weekend

We had an amazing weekend staying here. Gorgeous house, stunning views and incredibly friendly hosts. The apartment was fully stocked and extremely clean. On street parking was simple and close. The town of Marblehead is picture perfect with endless things to do around the area. Salem is a short drive and was a great time. We would gladly come back and stay here again. The hosts are so sweet and very helpful if you have any questions. Definitely come check this little gem out.

Great place

Overall the place was spotless and exactly as advertised. It has a lot of nice touches for a traveler. The only downfall was the parking. It was horrible which left my oldest daughter who was driving to walk back by herself in the dark once she parked.

Great Stay

Our stay was beyond expectations. I was concerned about parking but that was a breeze. The condo was perfect for us as a couple. Everything that we needed was provided. Very clean. Nice bathroom and shower. Queen bed very comfortable. Multiple walks around old town Marblehead. Just around the corner from BYC for my MHS HS reunion Saturday night. Will hopefully book again in the future.

A great place to stay

We enjoyed our stay. A great place to experience the Marblehead experience. At first, we were a little dismayed, to discover that we couldn’t park within three blocks of our home. However we soon got the hang of it and enjoyed our daily walks. Very comfortable stay

Super convenient location right in town

We loved our stay at this property. We visit Marblehead every summer to visit family and have stayed at multiple rentals. The location was great easy to walk to both parts of town - restaurants and shops. We loved the covered porch with harbor views - perfect for enjoying coffee. the space is efficient and has everything you need to be comfortable. The hosts are lovely. We hope to stay there again during future visits.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl and David Patten

Host profile image
We are natives of Massachusetts and New York - sports team allegiance not withstanding- and lived for nearly 30 years in the D.C. metro region. We chose to move to Marblehead to enjoy all that this lovely town has to offer. It is our pleasure to welcome guests visiting the area.

Why they chose this property

Our house was originally constructed in 1763 to serve as the home and shop for a well know cabinet maker in his day. Later, in 1795, the home was purchased by a sea captain who provided for his family during the heyday of Marblehead's cod fishing industry.

We purchased the home with the intent to maintain this piece of American history and to share it with visitors to the area. We embarked on a series of renovations, starting with the apartment, and continue to make improvements to the home so that it continues to shine for another 250+ years.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is a few short steps up from the street and is a fully private unit. We reside in rest of the house above and are on hand to answer any questions.
It has been completely updated and features all the modern amenities to make your stay comfortable while retaining the distinctive charm of its colonial roots.
From our location, you can walk everywhere in Marblehead and we are a short drive to Salem, Rockport and Gloucester. Boston is accessible via car, commuter train, seasonal ferry (Salem) or Metro (Revere).
