Luxury Accommodations in Quiet Seaside Village

The Loft at Lane's Cove is a top floor, front to back unit with separate Queen bedroom and bath. Exposed high wood ceilings, skylight and wall of sliding glass doors keeps this unit bright and open while imparting a truly relaxing feeling. All walls are freshly painted in muted coastal colors and most of the furnishings are new 2013. The Loft has a European-style air conditioning wall unit, a ceiling fan in the bedroom and one in the living room. Recent 2022/2023 renovations include a new bathroom, new deck and deck furniture and new Nectar Queen mattress!!

Newly refinished beautiful hardwood floors throughout with tile in the kitchen and eating area. Enjoy dinner for two with views of the cove or relax with cocktails on the private balcony while watching the activity of the Lanes Cove.

A full kitchen offers a complete array of Calphalon pots, pans, casserole dishes, pasta/lobster pots and cooking utensils. With plenty of storage for food, the kitchen also includes a dishwasher, oven/cooktop, microwave, coffee maker and Keurig Single cup, toaster, mini food processor and Brita water pitcher.

Tastefully decorated with coastal furniture, Pottery Barn linens and Claire Murray rugs. Flat screen TV (wall hung), DVD player, high speed internet, landline and stereo also included.

Unit has two private entrances on side of building through privacy gate. Inside entrance has wood landing and carpeted stairs. Outside back staircase leads down to first floor owner's deck as a second egress. Beach chairs, beach umbrella and cooler are also available for your use.

The Loft at Lane's Cove is located on the top floor of what was once the old Lanesville 'Engine House', in the heart of the Village. The first floor of the building has been a restaurant, antique store and a private residence. It is now the owner's private office space, used only during the week. The top floor unit remains quiet and private.

Step out your door into the morning sunshine and grab a cup of coffee, pastry(or lunch) and newspaper at Cove Cafe three doors down. The post office, Prana Salon and the Lanesville Package Store, which offers a great selection of wine,
beer and other food items, like gourmet marinated steak tips, round out the rest of Washington Street.

Ample street parking, usually right in front, makes access to unit easy. The CATA bus stops in front of the post office making travel around Cape Ann easy and effortless.

The Loft at Lane's Cove is your destination for a fun-filled romantic getaway…easy living on the Cove.

Beautiful Lanesville Home

We enjoyed this property during a July visit. Listing is accurate. The back deck was my favorite feature and I loved having my coffee outside each morning. The location in the heart of Lanesville makes it feel like a resort where you can easily walk to the ocean and play on the stone pier at Lanes Cove. The nearby Cove Cafe serves good coffee and lunch and we became regulars during our trip. We will return!

Calming coastal retreat

We immediately felt at home as we walked in to this peaceful, calming, very clean home. We didn’t want to leave. Diane was a fantastic host and communication was great. She provided a lot of nice little touches such as a first aid kit, a night light, paper and pens along with a nicely detailed information guide with helpful recommendations. The location had a small village feel with a cafe a couple of doors down and we enjoyed short walks to both Lanes Cove and Plum Cove. Hope to make it back! Diane, thank you for sharing your beautiful place!

Comfortable, convenient and everything we needed

Diane anticipated everything - from beach chairs, umbrella and towels, to fresh ice in the freezer. The Loft was clean and comfortable. The decor was charming. This is a gem and a great value. We had a great time during our one-week stay in Lanesville.

Our stay at The Loft

We just spent three weeks in Gloucester, staying at the Loft. The apartment was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and clean. Diane was very accommodating and accessible. We were a little disappointed that the Loft was located so far from the Harbor area but the description was not misleading. We enjoyed walking to Plum Cove Beach with our family.

Great area to vacation! Drawback was spotty cell reception. Also, not a safe area to bike.

Diane was very responsive to issue that came up. Everything needed was provided for in the unit. Easy arrival and departure.

A beautiful place to be

We spent a week at the 'Loft at Lane's Cove' in May during our honeymoon and really enjoyed our stay. The loft is lovely, very well furnished and the kitchen is equipped with all you could possibly need. The view of the quaint little cove from the balcony of the loft, as well as the proximity to Plum Cove Beach, where amazing sunsets can be watched (just one of the many great places to explore in the area) made our stay even more worthwhile and relaxing. We hope to be able to visit again soon! Furthermore Diane is a very nice and helpful person and we absolutely recommend to stay at her beautiful loft.

Exactly what we were hoping for on a one week vacation escape.

We wish to thank Diane for providing my wife and I with the lovely, quaint accommodations for one week. It was exactly what we were hoping to find when we arrived in mid Jun 2016. The one bedroom unit was very clean and included every feature you could wish for in a rental unit. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedroom very comfortable and the view from the second floor deck was perfect when my wife and I shared morning coffee. We just hope it's available on a future visit.

Perfect couple retreat

I grew up in central Ma and live in RI now. I have been all over MA for weekend stays but never made it to the North Shore. This was my favorite vacation by far. The loft was in a great location - a five minute walk to a lovely resident only beach where we spent an afternoon and then stopped again at sunset to see the most beautiful sunset I have seen in ages. The actual accommodations were wonderful. Clean, comfortable and in a very safe area. Dianne the host was great and offered a suggestion for dinner at Tonno which was some of the best seafood we have ever had. We loved the loft and we will definitely be back to visit!!

Spotless, spacious and bright,

The loft is ideal for a couple looking for a comfy, private seaside get away in a most convenient location with every need looked after. It is ideally situated between an enchanting swimming cove and a great seaside restaurant, a short drive from popular beaches such as Crane or Singer, a stone's throw from a nature reserve. Dianne is personable and helpful. The linens are elegant, the light is perfect, the balcony has its own charm. Highly recommended.

A wonderful stay

We have been the first visitors for this season and maybe the first short time visitors at all. It was wonderful. Diane is a warm and wonderful person who did everything to make our stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. She even organized a pack&play for our baby. The house is a good place to stay, somewhere in the middle of Gloucester and Rockport. It is calm and friendly. Everything is arranged with very good care and perfectly equipped. We can recommend to stay there if you want to spend some wonderful days.

Short Gloucester Stay

Beautiful place, Excellent for two people. Far enough from Gloucester center to be away from the hubbub. Is on a bus line, and taxi service is available, so that you may enjoy Gloucester without having to worry about parking. There is a small cafe that makes incredible sandwiches, pastry, coffee and breakfasts which is a local favorite. A liquor store is also within a minute walk away. There is a local beach that is within a five-minute walk, and as a bonus there are beautiful sunsets to be seen at the beach. The Vrbo has air conditioning but may not be necessary as a nice breeze can be felt if the screened door on the balcony is left open. We loved this place and will return.

Love the Loft

The Loft Apartment in Lanesville is a perfect location if you're spending time on Cape Ann. The apartment itself is very clean and in a great location. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is newly remodeled. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening cocktails on the balcony. It is very convenient to have the Cove Café (breakfast and lunch), the Post Office, and the Lanesville Package store (incidentals, ready made food, basic groceries, and of course beer/wine/liquor) just a few steps away. Diane was a breeze to communicate with from initial inquiry to checkout. Helpful detailed information about the property and the surrounding area is provided in a notebook. Don't miss a walk down to Lanes Cove (right around the corner) and you can take the Harvey Reservation trail back through the historic Lanesville Cemetery to Washington St. Plum Cove beach is a short walk down Washington St and Diane generously provides beach chairs, a cooler and umbrella for an enjoyable beach visit. We had a great experience at the Loft apartment and can only highly recommend it for a Cape Ann getaway.

Cute and Comfortable

Enjoyed our time there, easy jumping off point to explore local area and towns nearby. My only very minor issues are that the property pictures should be updated to reflect the current situation. The picture on the back deck leaves the impression you can see the ocean, you cannot, sadly the tree has grown enough to block that view. The other is that wine is part of your welcoming. We had none. Minor issues certainly, otherwise great place!

Wonderful spot in Lanesville

We loved the beautiful little Loft Everything was well thought out to maximize use of this small unit. It was conveniently located close to the Cove Cafe where we picked up breakfast pastries and delicious sandwiches for our beach picnics at Plum Cove, Wingaersheek and Long Beach. The Lanesville Package Store was an easy walk to pick up snacks and wine. Walking down the hill to Lanes Cove was wonderful for sunsets and brought back many memories of time spent there during my early summers. This one is a keeper!

This is our 3rd time staying at The Loft. We love it… great location and easy space to live in. We’ll be back! Diane was totally available with answers to questions and accommodating our needs. We loved walking rain to the Harbor for sunsets and kayaking. The quarry is close for a serene place to swim and the best beach is only 15minutes. Couldn’t be better!
