  • Inn Details

    On a picturesque lane that winds along the Atlantic ocean, Arbor House’s single suite bed and breakfast occupies a newly renovated wing of a 1899 summer house and offers complete privacy. Front picture windows overlook a fresh water pond and sliding glass doors open onto a secluded garden. A three minute walk leads to a private beach, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and viewing sunrises and sunsets. (Beach chairs, towels, and picnic basket available.) A combination of fine contemporary and antique furnishings, original artwork, luxurious fabrics and fresh flowers help to create an atmosphere of warmth, serenity, and grace. Additional features include an Italian tile bath and sky-lit cathedral ceiling. An expansive continental breakfast and snacks are stocked in your own kitchenette by Jennifer, a former professional pastry chef. Wake up early and watch the sunrise or sleep in and enjoy a long, lazy morning. Your breakfast is ready when you are. Other amenities include a queen-sized bed with an orthopedic mattress, private phone and answering machine, air-conditioning and ceiling fan, 27" TV with premium cable, DVD/ VCR / Stereo (movies and music available), down-filled sofa, separate thermostat, walk-in closet, hair dryer, and iron/ironing board.

    Jennifer and Dave made our anniversary weekend very special. The room and private courtyard were more than we hoped for. We would definitely stay with them again.

    When looking for a B&B, I wanted small and private. This was perfect. Jennifer and Dave couldn't have been more inviting. Jennifer make us dinner reservations as soon as we got there. Dinner was great and we were greeted with a big hello from the hostess "Hope you enjoy your stay in Marblehead". The room was very romantic as we were there to celebrate my Birthday and our upcoming anniversary. Dave and Jennifer had a bottle of champagne waiting for us to celebrate. Nice touch! The breakfast and snacks were excellent. A little fruit and the scones were out of this world. Everything was so organized, and the decorations were very nice. We opted for some music but could have watched a movie or cable TV. We were impressed by everything and would highly recommend staying at this B&B.

    A wonderful B & B.

    We had a wonderful stay at the B&B. The food was fantastic as was the total experience. Jennifer and Dave were so friendly and helpful in their suggestions of activities, yet they allowed us total privacy. They also went above and beyond with regards to returning items we left by mistake.

    wonderful, relaxing, refreshing

    Our stay at the inn was absolutely wonderful. In addition to being well furnished, clean and quiet, the breakfasts were delicious- fresh fruit, home made breads, granola, juices, and other goodies. Also, I appreciated that the food was organic. Each morning we enjoyed our stroll to the ocean, sitting on the rocks, and absorbing the beauty. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stay here!!

    wonderful and intimate

    A great place to stay for a quiet, intimate retreat. Great walk into marble head and by the water from the B & B. Loved it.
