We can’t say enough about our stay with Joanie and Petunia! Joanie is an amazing host! She doted on us like we were family. She went above and beyond to accommodate my food allergies. She entertained us with stories from her life’s journey. She was just a text away if we needed anything. Her home is beautiful! We can’t wait to stay there again! Thank you Joanie for a great few day getaway! See you soon!

The location was perfect and we were able to easily get to Salem and other surrounding areas. The view of the ocean was amazing as well.

Our hostess, Joanie, is so special! Her care made our stay even better! Her home is lovely, very warm and inviting and IMMACULATE! Her breakfasts were fit for royalty! So delicious, and she waited on us, serving us like we were family. She was also a wealth of knowledge and information about the community and the best, fastest way to get to the airport amid morning traffic! Thank you, Joanie!!

Wonderful private home with excellent hostess and full breakfast meals. Well worth the price. Owner had a fascinating history. The house had a great view of the water and was less than a block from a park and paved walkway along the water and into town. Highly recommended!

Having travelled all the around the world, I can honestly say this has been one of my favourite and most memorable stays. Although listed as a hotel, the Hydrangea feels more like an exclusive homestay. Joanie is the perfect host: she’s so warm, welcoming, and friendly – and, as other guests have already said, her breakfasts are absolutely delicious. The rooms are comfy, cozy, and quirky. The location is a short drive or 10-15 minute walk to Gloucester centre along a beautiful seafront path. While everything about the Hyrdrangea is lovely and comfortable, it was Joanie who made our stay such a memorable one. She even allowed a couple of our friends to join for breakfast for one morning!
