Vacation rentals with lake access in Essex County

The house was nicely located facing a lovely park and lake. The location was excellent and fit our needs perfectly. We hope to return!

legitimately on the lake to the point you could technically fish from the dining area. Beautiful view and a nice deck. everything was clean and exactly as it sounds when reading the description. I would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful home in a great location. Easy check in and check out. Awesome host. Will definitely return in the near future.

This place is a gem!! It sits in a super quiet neighborhood and close to Alewife metro station for trips into Boston. The house was perfect for our family of 6 (4 teenagers). The house was quaint, clean, and spacious enough for all us to feel like home for a few days. Aimee was super helpful in providing local recommendations for groceries and restaurants. She was also very proactive in checking in with us to see if we needed anything. Super host!! If you are traveling to Boston, this is a fantastic place to stay. Definitely would stay here again if we return at any point.

Stayed for a long weekend to celebrate my daughter’s wedding at nearby Atkinson Country Club. The home is spacious and luxurious and allowed our extended family to all be together for this special occasion. Hosts were always available to answer any questions and made us feel welcome from the very beginning . Highly recommend .😊

Andre’s home was absolutely gorgeous all around 100%, and then some. Andre has great communication with the guests, and was truly amazing. Andre also accommodated a later checkout for us, and we are beyond grateful for that also. Every room In this home and the large fenced in back yard with a pool was awesome. Definitely recommend a stay here at this incredible Airbnb! If I could rate Andre over 5 ⭐️ I certainly would have. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We had a wonderful time.

Betsy’s home was wonderful. I had the whole first floor home with private entries and porches. The home is beautiful, it has quality finishes and furnishings. Loved the kitchen, bathroom and the bedroom has a very comfortable bed. Betsy even had the home decorated with a Xmas tree and candles, there was coffee, spices and more in the kitchen. It’s a great place and I plan on returning when I come to the Boston area. It’s an easy walk to the commuter rail that takes you to the North Station. I really appreciate Betsy’s hospitality. Thanks so much. Mary

The space is a nice escape from the busyness of the city, but still close enough for easy access. Adam was accommodating to our changing plans, and helpful when we asked for advice!

Beautiful house and property, and Amesbury is a beautiful town to visit and walk around

Heidi's home was perfect for our visit to Arlington. It was well appointed and clean. We would certainly rent it again if we're in town!

Staying at Sean's Airbnb in Amesbury was an experience that exceeded expectations. The house was spacious, serene, and perfectly set up to provide a relaxing stay. Sean's place had all the comforts of home with an extra dose of tranquility that is hard to find. The location was an added bonus. It was just a short walk to the vibrant Amesbury market square, offering convenient access to a variety of local shops and eateries. This made the stay even more enjoyable, knowing that these amenities were so easily accessible. As for Sean himself, he is an exceptional host. He ensured everything was in place for a comfortable stay, while maintaining a high level of privacy. His gracious hospitality and the relaxing environment he's created make his Airbnb a must-visit in Amesbury.

Anja’s place on the hill was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay. She was also there to make us feel comfortable. Nice area and close to Salem and other nearby places like the Crane Estate!

Yanti is that host who thinks of everything. This is a wonderful location, we spent the long weekend while attending the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships in Boston and all 3 of us loved our stay. First, it's an easy walk to the commuter rail, which will have you at North Station in half an hour or less. Downtown Wakefield is adorable with some excellent restaurants and there's a nice 3+ mile route around the lake that's perfect for a run/walk. She has the sweetest doggies and I fell in love with Lily's smile. The unit is in the downstairs of a quaint home that is steps from the downtown common and has every amenity or resource I could think of. Forgot my razor, they were stocked in the cabinet. Needed to print tickets - office area had a printer. Umbrellas to walk to the train in the rain. First aid kit to dress a small cut on my finger. Washer and dryer with cleaning supplies. Literally everything. I'm so glad we chose the spot and we'll definitely be back!

Great place to stay and good transport links . Would recommend.

Our family loved our week at Mary Ann’s home in Cambridge. It is situated on a quiet, beautiful street right next to a main road with grocery stores and a short walk to Davis Square. There were tons of playgrounds for my toddler nephew to play at within a 15 min walk. It’s also a 2 minute walk to a local shop called Momma’s, which has local provisions and the best maple soft serves (creemees) - it was a daily stop for us. Mary Ann’s home is cozy, warm, and inviting. The layout was ideal for our group (4 adults, 1 toddler) with a large, fully stocked kitchen, dining room, living room, tv den, and bathroom all on the main floor, with the bedrooms upstairs. We had great weather and enjoyed sitting for meals out in the backyard garden. I used to live in Cambridge / Somerville and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay while in town. Mary Ann was an extremely responsive and flexible host, we are grateful to have spent our week there!

Great location for Tufts people. The street was nice and quiet, and it was nice to be on the 3rd floor with no one walking above you!

The Little House was very cleaned and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I was in town for work and the house's cozy atmosphere and view of the pond made it a great place to unwind and relax at the end of a long work day. I felt right at home. I would love to return on future business trips and it would be great to stay sometime for a more leisurely vacation. Highly recommend!

We were delighted with our stay. Everything was exactly as expected. It's a lovely lakeside cottage. We would happily return should our plans bring us back to the area. Thanks!

This beautiful cottage is a hidden gem! The views of the pond from three sides of the living room were a calm respite from busy daily life. The owners have put such care into every detail and have spared nothing in terms of thinking of comfort, welcoming, convenience, and pampering. From luxury linens and phone holders to fresh flowers and a welcome basket with a personal note, I immediately felt at home. The kitchen is well stocked and there is plenty of closet storage. Sabrina checked in when I first arrived and was extremely responsive with any question I had. I hope to book again and would highly recommend a stay at this sweet and comfortable place.

Had a great experience staying at Laura’s place! All the listed amenities were provided, and everything was just as described. Laura was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the stay. It’s a fantastic spot to relax and have fun – highly recommended!

Hosts were very kind and responsive. The house was amazing and the views were incredible.

Thank you so much for letting us stay at ur cottage. We were there for a wedding & it was great to be able to fit all of our family into one place. It was quiet and serene. The area was beautiful! Thank you for the s’mores kit—we made s’mores almost every night in the fire pit.
