Such a convenient location to downtown Portsmouth—easy walk to restaurants & shopping. Grocery store is a short drive away as the kitchen has all you need for meals, to include a grill. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated how clean and spacious the house is.

Girl’s Weekend

We stayed here for our annual girl’s weekend getaway. The house is absolutely adorable and there was plenty of room for the five of us. Everything we could have possibly needed was present and the short walk into downtown Portsmouth was super quick! The few times we needed to communicate with the owner she responded quickly and was able to resolve our questions. We had a great weekend!

A great location and stay!

We really enjoyed our time at this property, and being here made traveling with our family so much easier. It was very clean and had probably anything you could think of already there for you to use as far as toiletries, games, books, and kitchen wares. It was walking distance to really amazing restaurants and shops also. My only regret is that we had a family wedding so we didn’t have more time to explore and relax at the property. We will definitely look into booking this again!

A Gem in Portsmouth

We enjoyed our stay in this historic 1800s home. It is situated in a small neighborhood within walking distance to great shopping and excellent restaurants. Our dogs loved it, and our Shih Tzu teeny made many new friends that walked daily down to the dog park. The only thing we would caution you is that the parking is very expensive and if you don’t mind the walk you will save yourself a lot of money.
