Weekend Trip to Waterfront Cabin at Paterson Point

The house was very cozy with everything we could possibly need for a weekend stay. I think the photos don't do it justice about how charming it was. The host was incredibly responsive to us before and during our stay. The pond is good sized and easy to enter.

This is a quiet and serene spot. In no way does it resemble a modern corporate hotel. Rooms are in an old Victorian and while the age of the building shows in some ways, the friendliness of the hosts made my stay here a good one. Will stay again.

I absolutely loved this country setting and historic 1800’s cottage. It’s basically a whole house to yourself. You will want for nothing. Just bring yourself, clothes & food. There are pots, pans, dishes, utensils and everything you need for a relaxing stay. I sat in the kitchen most of the time, to watch the beautiful horse right outside the sliding glass door. Moonfield I believe his name is. I walked around the property and took in all the charm of this place. It’s decorated appropriately and suits this cottage perfectly. The queen bed was the most comfortable sleep Ive had in a long time. Joan responded to any questions I had with lighting speed. This was the perfect getaway and I can’t wait to book again in the future.

Nice tucked away house with a horse on property. The owner was very accommodating and despite having multiple rooms in the same house we were still able to have our privacy. Dog friendly and self check-in process.

Amazing find! We recommend this adorable cabin. We really enjoyed taking a stroll around their beautiful property. The horse was amazing bonus. The drive to Boston and Salem isn't too bad!

The location was close to anything you needed but in a quiet and secluded enough spot to feel like you were miles from everything. So peaceful and the cottage is very charming. The walking path around the property was a fun bonus.

George’s cabin was so cute. The views were beautiful over looking the horse paddock. Nice and private even as close to other houses. It was clean as well. I plan on rebooking in the future!

Weekend Trip to Inn On The Horse Farm

I made this reservation rather quickly, so I didn’t have much time to look into many options. At first, I hesitated because there weren’t many reviews and the photos mainly showed the room. Honestly, I almost passed it by just looking at the review photos. But in the end, I decided to book—and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! Now, let me explain one by one why I enjoyed my stay so much. First of all, the neighborhood is very quiet, yet within just a 3–5 minute drive you can find almost any store you need. Following Joan’s kind instructions, I parked the car and walked in to find a small house with a red door. It may look modest from the outside, but once inside everything is neat and well organized. There is a dining table that seats six, a large sofa, two cushioned chairs, a TV, and a kitchen tucked under the stairs, fully equipped with clean cookware. Upstairs, you’ll find one single bed and one queen bed, along with towels prepared for three guests and a compact bathroom with heating. What I loved most about this place was the view of the outdoors, the garden, and the theme Joan created for the house. Everything—from the curtains to the coasters and even the lanterns—featured horses, which was absolutely charming. And yes, the horses are right there in the backyard waiting for you. The yard is very spacious, with no unpleasant smells at all, and if you approach gently, one might even come closer to you. Of course, the entire area is safely fenced.

We really enjoyed this place. It was quiet and the property is lovely. Nice to be close to Boston without being in the middle of everything. We enjoyed visiting the horses and walking to the heritage park and the rail trail a few blocks away. The cottage is comfortable and charming. It does have some mustiness but overall it was great.

Wonderful place to stay when traveling with dogs! The cottage was cozy, air conditioned and a good size for us and our 2 dogs. There is a nice rear yard as well as a path around the property to walk around.

A very cute cabin for a very affordable price. Could comfortably sleep a couple and kids. Having heat, appliances, and water was great. My dog enjoyed the back yard and local park.
