Cozy, unique, walkable

Cozy, 3-story, pet-friendly, and clean. Walkable to town and quiet area on tidal pond. Great furnishings and amenities as described. Ample parking for two. Steps to second and third floors are steep and narrow as expected for a home this age.

Girls weekend in Portsmouth

We had a great weekend in Portsmouth. The property is in a great location- short walk to downtown Portsmouth, yet tucked away on a quiet side street. The property listing was accurate and we enjoyed the character of the old house.

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!

Portsmouth Property

My husband and I flew from California to join our daughter, son in law and granddaughter for Christmas. This property is an old New England house updated for modern use. It’s located on a lake (pond?) which is more likely useful during summer months. It was very cold for us so we didn’t walk in to downtime Portsmouth but that was not a fault of the property. We had a wonderful stay and the owners were terrific.

Wonderful get-away weekend

Michelle's property was absolutely perfect for our family and weekend plans. It was walking distance to so many amazing restaurants and shops. The house itself was filled with sunlight and warmth. The furniture was extremely comfortable as well. Michelle was quick to respond to any inquiry we made, and she made some nice recommendations of places to go. Thank you, Michelle.

What a great house!

The 4 of us (2 older couples) love staying here—within walking distance to downtown, close to Maine and there are lobsters and clams! What a great vacation (although both our families were impacted by Hurricane Helene in Florida, so we were stressed). Thank you for hosting us—we hope to return next year!

Nice Birthday Getaway

The house was great and just what we needed our quick birthday weekend celebration. This house is an easy drive from Boston, allowing friends to do a day trip. They met us at the house for a visit before we did an escape room and dinner in downtown Portsmouth. Due to the weather we opted to drive and park, but this would have been an easy walk.While we didn’t utilize the upstairs bedrooms they were nice. One thing to note the stairs were narrow and steep and our dog didn’t like to navigate them.This house has the characteristics of an older house, making it feel very cozy. They have made some nice updates that it feel modern.We plan to keep this house in mind for future family getaways.

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.
