ABOUT US

The Essex River House Motel is a quiet, 15 room riverside motel located on scenic route 133 in Essex. The motel is off the road and on the river, but close to everything. From here you can walk to the dozens of antique shops and restaurants for which Essex is famous. In addition, two of New England's most popular seafood restaurants are just adjacent to the motel. The favorite activity of guests is relaxing on the riverside grounds and enjoying a stunning view of the Essex River estuary, marshes and Crane Beach. There is a parade of boats from beautiful schooners to the small motorboats of the clammers going out to work the clam flats at low tide.

The Motel is convenient to other nearby towns including Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester-By-The-Sea, Salem and Newburyport. Boston and the New Hampshire/Maine seacoast are within an hour by car. Area attractions include whale watching, antiques, golf, museums, scenic walks and drives, boat cruises and much more.
