Description
We are currently searching for a individual or couple (with no pets) to serve as seasonal tenants for our furnished home from Sept 2024 - June 2025. All tenants must have excellent references and credit.
Rockwood Lodge is the perfect place to step away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but yet just minutes away from Gloucester and just an hour from downtown Boston. A serene and tranquil setting just some 15 yards from the waterline of beautiful Ipswich Bay. This cozy, rustic but charming two-story cottage, built in the 1930's sits in a grove of locust trees with 180 degree views of the water from every location inside and out. Its private beach of granite shelves and rounded boulders recede into the clear blue waters, a naturally sheltered cove makes for a perfect place to search for wildlife, launch a kayak, take a dip and watch the spectacular sunsets. Wherever you are located on this property either outside in the hammock, inside lying in your bed or sitting on one of the rockers you'll find yourself hypnotized by the lapping of the water on the rocks and the rustling of the trees.
The old world charm of the house features 4 bedrooms. One queen bedroom on the first floor sleeping porch provides the perfect spot to drift off listening to the sea. There is a large dining area and living room with full working wood fireplace, kitchen with all the amenities and a full bathroom. On the second floor there are 3 more rooms, a full size queen, twin bedroom and a single bedroom all with their own lovely views. This is truly a nature lover's paradise!
Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions. We look forward to hearing from you!
