On the Cove

Lanes Cove, Lanesville
Gloucester, Massachusetts

 

 

Our lovely three-room apartment is located directly on Lanes Cove in Lanesville with beautiful ocean views from every room and just steps to the waters edge. This area is famous for spectacular sunsets (National Geographic has called it one of the best in the world). Lanes Cove is a favorite spot for artists, kayakers and anyone who loves the rugged charm of the rocky New England coast.

You will begin to relax almost immediately upon arrival On the Cove. Tucked away on a tiny working cove, you will experience the casual charm and unique village setting of Lanesville. �Fresh flowers from our gardens and many extras will surprise and delight you during you stay. Private entrance, high ceilings, full kitchen, living room (with queen sofa bed), bedroom with queen bed, private patio with dining for four and off-street parking. On the Cove is located less than 10 minutes from downtown Rockport and ten minutes from downtown Gloucester.

Come stay with us—the summers are great, but fall is a close second or try a weekend during the off season. On the Cove makes a great getaway weekend.

Lisa Gollin Evans, author of Sea Kayaking Coastal Massachusetts writes,

"Cape Ann is a kayaker's paradise, offering gorgeous, rocky coastline; challenging open water; marvelous bird life; and quaint, weather-hardened towns. Kayakers return again and again to Cape Ann, for the ocean's mood are infinite. There's a quality to the light and color of the water--an alluring harshness and wildness that is particular to Cape Ann. Think of a painting by Winslow Homer or Fitz Hugh Lane. Kayakers are drawn to Cape Ann's elemental seriousness, to the gravity of its beauty, its challenges, and the freshness of its wind. For the best trip, paddle Cape Ann in the off-season. Harbor seals, shorebirds, and solitude then add to the area's considerable charm."

Kristian Davies, author of Artists of Cape Ann writes,

"Jutting out into the Atlantic, 25 miles north of Boston, Massachusetts, is Cape Ann. For more than 150 years painters have visited the quaint and rustic towns that make up this unique area including Gloucester, Rockport, Annisquam, Magnolia, Essex, and Lanesville. Cape Ann has been host to many of the very best, most celebrated artists in America, from nineteenth-century greats Fitz Hugh Lane, Winslow Homer, and William Morris Hunt, to Impressionists Childe Hassam, John H. Twachtman, and Willard Metcalf, to Ashcan painters and Modernists, Edward Hopper, John Sloan, Stuart Davis, and Marsden Hartley.

The Cape Ann area has for years offered artists a superb range of subject matter such as majestic ships of old in Gloucester Harbor, crashing seascapes, sandy beaches, sculpted granite quarries, and woodlands that present a different scene with every changing season."
