House was delightful and we enjoyed the outside space because the weather was unseasonably warm for October. Ipswich is cute and everything is close by. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.
Absolutely beautiful apartment with everything our family of four needed for a fun adventure in Ipswich! It was cozy, clean, convenient and safe. Our 5 and 3 yr old loved it too!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Holly House wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. We stayed in the second floor apartment. It was bright, quiet, beautifully decorated and had everything we could possibly need during our stay. The hostess was very pleasant and responsive. We'll be back next time we vacation in that area. Thank you! - Pat & Dave
My kids and I stayed for two nights in February from Washington state. Was cold and snowy/icy and the apartment was warm, cozy and inviting. Steps were salted every day.Would definitely stay next time we come back to the area
So many thoughtful details. Extremely comfortable beds, quality linens, responsive hosts, proximity to beaches, surrounding quaint towns, local, restaurants, and the train to explore even more. We had a great time with Holly House 2 as our home base. For sure will return to this spot!
Holly House is a very clean, comfortable and convenient property! Denise thought of every detail down to automatic night lights, house slippers and child gate for safety. Bethany had the house spotless upon our arrival and the accommodations were spacious. Thank you for a wonderful visit…we are sure to return and recommend to others!
We loved this property. It had all we needed for our stay on the North Shore. We loved how everything was set up for our stay. Our kids enjoyed playing the board games in between outings. We enjoyed Russel Orchards and Appleton Farms and loved our time in Ipswich. Great gratitude for such a lovely stay.
We found Denise's property to be charming, immaculate, light filled, well equipped and convenient. We could walk downtown and easily access the surrounding towns and beaches by car. We loved being next door to the 1640 House and its wonderful restaurant. It was just two of us but there is plenty of room for four. We would definitely rebook should we return to the area.
The apartment was adorably decorated and immaculately clean on our arrival. The host reached out to us to be sure our check in was smooth, which it was. On our departure day it snowed and someone had already shoveled and salted the walkways and stairs before we left at 8am. The only downside was the radiator heat in the bedrooms when you shut the doors - we either had to sleep with the door open or with a window open and door shut. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay for the weekend. Would recommend to a friend.
The property was very clean and in order as per our expectation. In addition the owner needed our comment directly. As per our request she added additional instrument and service during our stay. She was very efficient and she is proud of her property.
Beautiful, clean and welcoming property to stay at. We went up for the weekend to attend a wedding in the area. The host Denise was kind and pleasant to work with.
We loved our stay! Great location—next door to a top rated restaurant (was unfortunately closed while we were there), and close to Crane Beach. Quick drive to so many other nearby towns. Very clean and spacious.
We certainly enjoyed our brief visit to Ipswich. We loved the quaint town and the house was perfected located to everything we wanted to do and see. The house was clean and comfortable.
We fell in love with this property! So beautifully decorated and everything you’d need for a stay there supplied.
We would so highly recommend this lovely place.
Beautiful house in convenient location for our yearly girls trip! We had a wonderful time and everything we needed was provided.Enjoyed attractions nearby including Wolf Hollow, Russell Farms, and Crane Estate. Lunch at Heart and Soul was delicious! Day trip to Salem was a quick and easy drive. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
We were attending a family event in Ipswich and needed a place to stay. The condo offered a great location and all the comforts of home. The condo is close to town, the beach and the locals are very friendly.
Holly House was a beautiful home. It is clean and located in a convenient location, yet out of the way from the town hustle and bustle. We had a wonderful mother/daughter trip visiting a friend, touring the areas of Boston and Salem, as well as learning more about Ipswich and its history.
Our stay was wonderful. The property was very welcoming and clean. It was close to everything in town which was wonderful. We truly felt at home and would definitely stay here again. The communication with the property manager was easy and she was very prompt. We have no complaints!!
