Marblehead Summer House

We recently stayed here with family and everyone loved The Marblehead Summer House. The rooms are large and very clean; we appreciate the historical touches with each decoration and painting. Our family loved sitting in the backyard and walking over the hill to Crocker Park. The location to the ocean/park and Old Town Marblehead cannot be beat. Convenient to grocery store, shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Amazing location in the heart of old Marblehead. Just a few steps from grand views of Marblehead harbor, the public wharf, wonderfully quaint breakfast at The Driftwood restaurant and lively bars. Also just a few minutes walk to Fort Sewell, which defended the town in the War of 1812, and Old Burial Hill, where there are graves dating back to the 1600’s. Marblehead is often painted to capture its many quaint scenes, and the Marblehead Summer House is ideally located within that landscape.

Fantastic place. very historic! right behind a big park that is on the water. very close to the Boston unit club, restaurants and bars nearby along with the grocery store. Old Town is quite charming. very village like. people are friendly and it's very easy to get around walking. A lot of streets are one way. The harbor is beautiful!

This is the third time my wife and I have stayed the Marblehead Summer House, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Located right in the heart of Marblehead's historic district, this charming colonial-style inn is full of personality and a lovely way to experience the true essence of the town and place. The rooms we have stayed in have been cozy and welcoming, and the air conditioners, microwaves, kitchenettes, and bathrooms have added to the comfort and enjoyment of our stays. Our host has also been helpful when we have needed towels refreshed or had local tourist questions. The backyard is gorgeously landscaped with perennial flowers and rock features, and just a couple hundred feet beyond that is one of the best view of the harbor (and a great swim hole) off of Crocker P

My family (with my spouse and with a small child) has stayed at the Marblehead Summer House on several visits to Marblehead. We’ve stayed in different rooms, and each is so unique. The top floor with the walkout to the deck is awesome- looking over the private backyard (and knowing the ocean is just over the hill!) We’ve also stayed on the first floor. Although the old-style bath is somewhat different, it is part of the experience and makes the stay what it should be- unrushed and enjoyable. I love the history of the house and being in the center of Old Town. The location can’t be beat- it is steps from the harbor with amazing views of the boats and the lighthouse in the distance. It is also within walking distance from shops, restaurants and Driftwood- best “towny” breakfast place
