The Loft at Lane's Cove is located on the top floor of what was once the old Lanesville 'Engine House', in the heart of the Village. The first floor of the building has been a restaurant, antique store and a private residence. It is now the owner's private office space, used only during the week. The top floor unit remains quiet and private.
Step out your door into the morning sunshine and grab a cup of coffee, pastry(or lunch) and newspaper at Cove Cafe three doors down. The post office, Prana Salon and the Lanesville Package Store, which offers a great selection of wine, beer and other food items, like gourmet marinated steak tips, round out the rest of Washington Street.
Ample street parking, usually right in front, makes access to unit easy. The CATA bus stops in front of the post office making travel around Cape Ann easy and effortless.

We enjoyed staying here. It was perfect for 2 people. We really enjoyed the convenience of the location, particularly to the wonderful cafe a few doors down!
This was our fifth visit to 'The Loft' and we consider it our home away from home. Diane does a wonderful job creating a warm and caring environment. Additionally, 'The Loft' location is perfect for visiting Gloucester and Rockport.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Loft. The unit itself was very comfortable and felt like a well-appointed tree house with its view over the trees out back. Parking was very easy and Diana was very responsive whenever we communicated. We found everything we needed and really enjoyed exploring the area from Gloucester to Rockport and Manchester. We hope to be back.
We love the location, the accessibility to inlet, quarry swimming, easy drive to Good Harbor beach, Latoff’s bakery for the best pies and blueberry muffins, great sunsets.
What could be better??!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lanesville. The apartment was beautiful, clean, updated and very comfortable. Diane was responsive and all details were handled easily. Everything one could need was available to us. We will definitely be back!
Quiet and comfortable apartment. Well furnished stocked with everything you could need. Great location… walk to plum cove for a swim and lanes cove for sunsets. A package store for some food items as well as liquor and a bakery a few steps from apartment.
We really enjoyed our stay here
This is our 3rd time staying at The Loft. We love it… great location and easy space to live in. We’ll be back!
Diane was totally available with answers to questions and accommodating our needs.
We loved walking rain to the Harbor for sunsets and kayaking. The quarry is close for a serene place to swim and the best beach is only 15minutes.
Couldn’t be better!
Love this little gem! Clean, cozy, and quiet location. The bed was so comfy too! Glouster has many wonderful restaurants as mentioned in the binder in the loft. We took the recommendations and visited many. They all were very good! Everyone is so friendly in this town. We will be back!
We just spent three weeks in Gloucester, staying at the Loft. The apartment was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and clean. Diane was very accommodating and accessible. We were a little disappointed that the Loft was located so far from the Harbor area but the description was not misleading. We enjoyed walking to Plum Cove Beach with our family.
We loved the beautiful little Loft Everything was well thought out to maximize use of this small unit. It was conveniently located close to the Cove Cafe where we picked up breakfast pastries and delicious sandwiches for our beach picnics at Plum Cove, Wingaersheek and Long Beach. The Lanesville Package Store was an easy walk to pick up snacks and wine. Walking down the hill to Lanes Cove was wonderful for sunsets and brought back many memories of time spent there during my early summers. This one is a keeper!
I grew up in central Ma and live in RI now. I have been all over MA for weekend stays but never made it to the North Shore. This was my favorite vacation by far.
The loft was in a great location - a five minute walk to a lovely resident only beach where we spent an afternoon and then stopped again at sunset to see the most beautiful sunset I have seen in ages.
The actual accommodations were wonderful. Clean, comfortable and in a very safe area. Dianne the host was great and offered a suggestion for dinner at Tonno which was some of the best seafood we have ever had.
We loved the loft and we will definitely be back to visit!!
Beautiful place, Excellent for two people. Far enough from Gloucester center to be away from the hubbub. Is on a bus line, and taxi service is available, so that you may enjoy Gloucester without having to worry about parking. There is a small cafe that makes incredible sandwiches, pastry, coffee and breakfasts which is a local favorite. A liquor store is also within a minute walk away. There is a local beach that is within a five-minute walk, and as a bonus there are beautiful sunsets to be seen at the beach. The Vrbo has air conditioning but may not be necessary as a nice breeze can be felt if the screened door on the balcony is left open. We loved this place and will return.
My wife and I spent five nights at Diane's home. Everything was wonderful from the time we walked into her home, until the time we left. All the necessities were there, making her home very welcoming.
When we return to Gloucester, we will definitely stay at Diane's home again. One suggestion is that the beautiful lake behind your home is hidden by a large tree (I think on your property). If it was trimmed back, the view would be spectacular.
Thank you, Diane.

Enjoyed our time there, easy jumping off point to explore local area and towns nearby. My only very minor issues are that the property pictures should be updated to reflect the current situation. The picture on the back deck leaves the impression you can see the ocean, you cannot, sadly the tree has grown enough to block that view. The other is that wine is part of your welcoming. We had none. Minor issues certainly, otherwise great place!
Great, central location, very clean, comfortable bed, basic necessities all on hand. Little coffee shop steps away, great baseball backlot games late afternoons.
Beautifully decorated, well-equipped with everything we needed. The owner was responsive and provided lots of useful info on the apartment and the surrounding area.Our stay was perfect!
The Loft is a very comfortable apartment-perfect for a couple, spotlessly clean and ideally situated to explore this beautiful area. We always found parking outside the door. We liked sitting on the balcony which is private and quiet, although the neighbouring tree has grown and obscured the view of the cove, but a 5-min walk and you’re there.
We had a lovely time staying at the Loft. It had a great location, updated apartment and very clean. Diane did a great job making sure we had a great time and that the property was working out for our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
