Visit
Marblehead, Looking for a vacation hotel to visit Marblehead, Boston or
Salem? Stay
with us instead! One of the last resort hotels in Marblehead,
“The Snow Crest”, was right next door in the
1910’s. It’s
long gone now, but we’re still here,
since 1717.
MARBLEHEAD SUMMER
HOUSE
Seasonal
accommodations, in the heart of the
Historic District of
Marblehead Massachusetts
!
Birthplace
of the American Navy and, "The
Yachting Capital of the World"
(high speed wireless and
ethernet internet
access, cable and A/C)
Front
St. 1910
In
this turn of the century postcard, 27
Front is the gray house on the right. Of
course that was 1910! The
color has been changed to a pale lavender and the Front porch is open
now. Oh
yes, the street is paved too.
Located
just 3 miles from the Salem line near the Salem Historic Area, you'll
be in the heart of Old
Town Marblehead just 200 yards
from the Boston Yacht
Club, co-sponsor of the Halifax
Race. Surrounded
by houses built in the
1700’s and 1800’s it's one of the nicest parts of
the old village. The
house you’ll be staying in was built prior to 1717. We
weren’t the USA then you know! Walk
through the back gate onto Crocker
Park and enjoy swimming off the
park’s float, fishing off the rocks, viewing the harbor and
its 5 yacht clubs or take in one of the many Marblehead cultural events
which take place on the park during the year. During
the
week of July 4th Crocker Park is one of the centers of activity for the
Marblehead
Arts Festival.
This is
where I grew up and my parents lived
for 50 years. Each
of the 5 units include a private full bath, some
also
include a kitchenette. With the
exception of the 3rd Floor Suite the baths do not have showers. They
have the original long claw-foot soaking tubs. So,
enjoy the bath! (all but unit "N-1" have European faucets
with a shower wand) Click
Here to see the Rooms and Suites
All the
rooms are non-smoking. (No
pets please, unless pre-arranged, $125 sanitation fee)
More
information can be found under
“Accommodations”!

Park 1910
Crocker Park is just out
the back gate!

Out
the front door to the left you can stroll about 200 yards to the Boston Yacht
Club, The
Lafayette House, The
Lee Mansion, The King
Hooper Mansion and Marblehead
Arts
Association, or the little Marblehead
Museum. Abbot Hall,
home of the “Spirit
Of 76” painting is
just up the hill on the green. Down the
other side of the hill and your in the newer part of town with
restaurants, shops, the “Y”, a bank or two, and
other commerce. There
are NO GAS
STATIONS in Marblehead, so
better show up with gas in your tank if you’re driving.
If you go to the right out the front door
about 300 yards you’ll find the wharf and several
restaurants, all good,
all eclectic; The
Landing, The
Driftwood, Maddies,
and Jack-Tar
American Tavern (Dinning
Discounts at Jack-Tar's for our guests! Just
take "The Admiral's Club Card" with you from the foyer when you
go) !
Just up the street is the old center
of town filled with little
shops, stores, and of course the “Old Court House”.
Walk some
more and you’ll find yourself at Fort
Sewall, beside Screaming Lady
Beach. By
the way, our beaches in this part of town have no sand! They
are made of small rocks. Large rocks
too!
From
there you’re within spitting distance of the Barnegat area,
Gas House Beach,
Graves Boatyard (one of them, the other is
in back of The
Landing Restaurant),Fountain
Park and Old Burial Hill,
the oldest graveyard in New England. (Redd’s
Pond is just over Old Burial
Hill and you might see some folks sailing elaborate model
sailing yachts there!) If you
decide to walk that way and you’re in the mood for some
lobster to take back to the house, (the shell crackers are in the
kitchen), call my friend Mike at Marblehead Lobster, 781-631-0787, tell
them “John” sent you. He
won’t give you a discount but he’ll probably say
I’m a nice guy! Call them
before you go and have them cooked for you. They
are
the best for boiled lobster in my book.
If
you venture this way you’re close to a few more sights,
one’s the view of Little
Harbor and little beach in front
of Marblehead Lobster. Across the
water is the back of Fort Sewall. Among
other sights are Black
Joe’s Pond, Black
Joe’s Tavern, and
another little beach. By the way,
if you went into the Barnegat area 200 years ago you’d find;
“the
roughest neighborhood. During "Election Week" in May, slaves were given
their only legal holiday on Wednesday, and the schools closed so that
all citizens could turn out to see the soldiers training…
According to Marblehead Historian Joseph Robinson, "a more uncouth
assemblage of ruffians could not be found anywhere.", web, Pp; 11 & 13: http://www.legendinc.com/Pages/MarbleheadNet/MM/Articles/BlackJoe.html
Well,
that was then. Now
it’s a sleepy little neighborhood of old houses. Black
Joe’s Tavern is still
there on Gingerbread Lane although now a residence it has a sign
marking it. "Joe
Frogger" cookies, Black Joe's
namesake, are still sold around town. The
pond you’ll see as you approach the top of
“Gingerbread Hill”. The old
tavern is just on the down side. At the end
of the lane is Grace
Oliver Beach, just to the left. There’s
some good exploring on the road that goes around "Peache's
Point" to the left of the beach,
but mind you, you’re about 1.5 miles from your bed now and
the end of that road is the width of Marblehead, 2 miles. It’s
a nice walk but up hill.
