We loved this property! We were a group of adults and teenagers. There was lots of space to play games, visit, watch movies and cook. The host thought of everything- lots of towels, soap, Kleenex and necessities for laundry. The outside space was small but lovely and we enjoyed sitting out on the Adirondack chairs. We had an amazing experience and would definitely visit again!

This place has it all! - A real gem!

This grand home has it all - space, comfort and character. We enjoyed a weekend in The Essex House while in town for a family function and left knowing we'd be back. Our host, Dean, was wonderful to work with and was available at all times throughout the process. The home was well appointed, clean and extremely comfortable. The linens were spotless and in abundance. What a special time it was to enjoy the character of this home with our grandchildren and extended family. The outdoor garden was lovely to sit in and the neighborhood was quiet and easily walkable to the main street for shopping and dining. We highly recommend this gem when visiting the Essex area.

Great family visit

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at the Essex house the last weekend of April. The house has lovely architectural features and is very nicely decorated inside and lovely landscaping outside. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. There are many seating areas inside (sunroom/sitting room, living room, kitchen area, dinning room, basement lounge area with TV) and very nice seating outside, so it was great for our family of 7 and when my parents and sister came to visit. The attic bedroom with 6 single beds was charming, with a Nanny McPhee vibe to it. The house is within walking distance to the main street in Essex so easy to get groceries or walk to local restaurants. Our main reason was to visit my family (I am originally from the area) so we didn't venture away very much, but the Essex House is perfectly located to easily visit sites all around Essex county, from Windsor to Leamington. The host was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions that we had. We will definitely be returning.

We had a great time staying at the Essex House. We loved our time there. It was such a quiet place, but close enough to walk around the town of Essex. The house had plenty of room for our large family, and our kids often remarked that it felt like we were staying in a mansion!

Lovely century home with plenty of space. We held a family reunion there with 11 adults. The home is well equipped and we cooked most of our meals there, including a Thanksgiving dinner. Dean was a responsive and helpful host. This home met our needs perfectly.

Everything was awesome! Dean was so communicative with our group and the house was absolutely perfect! Beds were so comfy and lots of room for the kids and parents of our group to have their own space. If you need a lovely place in Essex that is super clean, beautiful and well equipped this is the place to stay. Nothing was needed or forgotten about from dishwasher tabs, coffee to board games. Thanks so much for the great stay!

Lovely house and property and a most accommodating host. Stayed during a very hot period, and air conditioning in other than the primary bedroom could have been cooler. Otherwise great.
