Activities/Attractions: A crown jewel of the Massachusetts coastline... steeped in rich seafaring and art history, Rockport on Cape Ann, has the same quiet charm it offered when it first welcomed summer visitors over 160 years ago: miles of lovely beaches, boulder-strewn paths through woods and glades ... and that uncommonly magical light at sundown, that has inspired painters since Winslow Homer.
Rockport is a one hour train or car ride from Boston. The Sally Webster Inn is located just three blocks from:
- the shops
- art galleries
- restaurants of downtown Rockport
- beaches
- fishing
- whale watching
- kayaking
- a State Park
... are all within ten minutes of our front door. So whether its a quite afternoon with a book or kayaking around our harbor there is something for everyone here at the Sally Webster.
"We discovered the Sally Webster Inn when planning a trip to New England from California. The Inn is charming and the hosts are so welcoming. The rooms are beautiful, traditional New England without being too cutesy and the common areas very comfortable. A delicious hot breakfast is served inside in the breakfast room or outside in the garden patio. The delightful town of Rockport is just a short stroll away. We absolutely loved our stay here in 2001 and made a point to stay here again in 2004 and the hosts Kathy and John went out of their way to accommodate us."
"We stayed last summer here and had a lovely time. The location is great, easy to walk to the shore and village and the hosts were wonderful."
General Information: William Choate, "housewright" built this graceful house in 1832. Upon his death in 1859, he bequeathed a share of the property to each of his nine children. To "No.7" Sally Choate Webster, his seventh child, he left "the southern lower rooms in the old house together with the western attic chamber and a common privilege in the lane."
The Sally Webster Inn as it is known today, is located in the historic district and is one of Rockport's loveliest old homes. The Inn boast six fireplaces, original wide plank pine floors, authentic period door moldings, herringbone brick terraces, and colonial flower and herb gardens.
