Harbor Light Inn  

In Marblehead’s historic North Shore district, a stone’s throw from Marblehead Museum and Fort Sewall and about 4.4 miles from the Peabody Essex Museum in nearby Salem. Less than 18 miles from Boston, this bed-and-breakfast style inn is ideal for exploring beaches, boutiques, and colonial streets.

A cozy Colonial inn with 20 individually styled, air-conditioned rooms and private bathrooms. Some rooms include flat-screen TVs and DVD players, plus thoughtful touches like complimentary bottled water, safes and designer toiletries. For more space, book the Admiral’s House suites—fully furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments within walking distance of the main inn. Expect a laid-back, village vibe with garden views and a tidy outdoor pool.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, unwind with onsite massages, or grab a drink at the bar/lounge and the popular Tavern. Free self-parking and a library add convenience. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy access to walking trails, historic sites and local shops.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, 24-hour front desk, concierge and luggage storage. A tour desk and wedding services are available for planning and events.

Complimentary breakfast is served daily. The onsite Tavern is a local favorite, pouring a fine selection of wines, beers and spirits and offering a small menu of tasty bar snacks for casual evenings.
