A perfect location
We had a month stay here and loved every minute! The owner is wonderful and responsive. The place is gorgeous inside with plenty of room. So nice to be able to have the dog with us! A walk to downtown, kayaking at the boat launch just steps away, and 20 minutes to beaches! Highly recommend.

Gorgeous house with an amazing view
The house was clean when we arrived. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped with anything you may need. The outdoor space was nice with a beautiful water view. The dogs loved walking the street and watching the geese. Definitely on my list to return to!

Great location, well appointed home.
Great stay to celebrate my son’s graduation from UNH. The house was well appointed and comfortable. Michelle was extremely responsive to questions and was gracious enough to allow for early check in and late check out. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate so there was no taking advantage of the great outdoor seating. Would stay again.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
