Coastal Cottage Retreat in Historic Lanesville (Gloucester, MA)

Description

Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road in Gloucester’s charming Lanesville neighborhood, this cozy, cottage offers a perfect retreat for writers, artists, academics—or anyone in need of rest and inspiration. The area has long been home to painters and sculptors drawn to its rugged beauty, ocean light, and creative spirit—and you’ll feel that energy the moment you arrive. The cottage sits on a lovingly landscaped property surrounded by woods, just a short walk from the ocean, Dogtown’s legendary walking trails, scenic quarries, and the beloved Lobster Pool restaurant. Inside, you’ll find a studio-style space that’s both comfortable and thoughtfully designed. The main floor features a double futon daybed (that can be converted to a couch) with soft, high-quality bedding, a small dining area for two, and a compact kitchenette with a two-burner range, microwave, electric frying pan and apartment-sized refrigerator. A quaint bathroom with a skylight and shower (one step down) completes the lower level. Upstairs, a spacious attic loft with a window and two skylights offers an inviting, light-filled space for sleeping, yoga, play, or quiet reflection. It includes a queen-size memory foam platform bed and an additional full size futon for lounging. Relax on your private deck, enjoy birdsong in the mornings, or stroll to the ocean for sunset views over the rocks. Parking is available. Suitable for one person or a couple. Whether you’re working on a project, writing your next chapter, or simply unwinding by the sea, this little Lanesville cottage is a peaceful and inspiring home base.
