    On a summer night with a chill in the air or a great golf show, you will find yourself in the livingroom flanked by an oversized fireplace and two large portraits of Captain John Linzee and his wife Abigale. Google has the history, but at Fox Pond, he is best remembered for shooting at Col William Prescott, Bunker Hill, who as well left a piece of history to the family. Although the room has a traditional design, it boasts a large screen tv and a sunny bay window for the avid reader. AC is available throughout the house.Guests are greeted by an expansive porch on a Cape with a long covered entry. This is a house that has a  strong impact on guests and visitors, not because of its size but because of the almost magical blend of architecture and detail. As one guest wrote:" If God is in the details, there's a little bit of heaven for your guests here."
    Fox Pond is a sanctuary for birds and an occasional fox. Guests can listen to a quiet waterfall and watch the koi swim through beds of water lilies and iris. The landscape is distinguished by natural rock ledge, stonewalls, large oak trees and a 50’ reflective pond. Fox Pond is much more than a B&B, it can be a retreat and a sanctuary if you are open to the natural beauty and stillness in the gardens.
    In Gardening and Deck Design, Maureen FitzPatrick writes:" The result is a landscape that defies the boundaries between man-made and natural worlds." Guests will find over 1,300sf of decks and this large patio surrounded by gardens and rock ledge. There is a path from the property to the ocean, which can be walked in five minutes. Hiking and biking trails are accessible providing a comfortable 30 minute walk or 10 minute bike ride to Marblehead center.
