On the first floor at the rear of the house is at the Pond Room with a 23' ceiling, Frenchdoors, private marble bath, jacuzzi, fireplace and antique furniture. Rates:In-season:$200-$250; Off-season:$190-$215. There is no room tax.
Guests will enjoy a path from the property to hiking/biking trails and the ocean. The house is a 5-minute drive to beaches, Marblehead Center and Salem. Fox Pond is a sanctuary for birds, an occasional fox and home to Sophie, a beautiful Golden Retrever.
