Lanes Cove House
"A five star B&B with a ten star concierge" Lanes Cove House is a charming 1860s Victorian, cozy and comfortable. Enjoy pre-breakfast coffee in your tastefully furnished bedroom, followed by a delicious expanded continental breakfast in the dining room or on the large deck overlooking picturesque Lanes Cove. Take a ten minute walk to our small village beach or a short drive to beautiful Good Harbor Beach, but return in time to watch spectacular sunsets from the deck. Go whale watching and bird watching, visit the art galleries and the antique shops. Take a short drive to Salem, the city with a dark past, and historic Boston, a city not to be missed.
