Stay in a beautifully renovated historic home, built over 250 years ago, located directly on the scenic Town Brook walking paths. Next door you’ll find one of the oldest homes in North America, the Gristmill, Burial Hill, duck pond, and guided tours. Just a short walk brings you to the waterfront, downtown shops, restaurants, and attractions.

The home offers modern comfort with fresh linens, comfortable beds, multiple living spaces, Smart HDTVs, and a year-round hot tub overlooking the park. Guests also enjoy decks with peaceful views and a private backyard.

Nearby Pool Access: The John Carver Inn & Spa is across the street and offers a year-round indoor pool and water park. Day passes may be available directly through the hotel (not included with this rental). Please confirm availability with the hotel.

Sleeping Arrangements: The home comfortably sleeps families and groups, with bunk areas in the walkout level and private bedrooms upstairs. Maximum adult occupancy is 12 due to the age of the home’s original post-and-beam structure. Additional children may be accommodated.

    The house was great. Roomy enough for our family of 9, clean, well appointed. We had everything we needed. The hot tube was great. Location was perfect, close to shops and restaurants. Wonderful stay!

    We stayed here during a relocation to Massachusetts and found it was a lovely and comfortable home with all necessary amenities. The hosts were also incredibly responsive and helped to make the calendar available when we had to suddenly extend our reservation due to a furniture delivery delay.

    We had a great stay at the Harlow Bishop House. There was some confusion around check-in but it was resolved quickly by the property manager. The house is quirky but comfortable and the outside is wonderful - the deck is a great place for hanging out and we (a group of 11 friends) spent many hours there. The location of the house is perfect as it's walking distance to everything. The wifi was good, the hot tub was nice to have, and the house was well stocked (though we didn't do any real cooking and the kitchen might be a bit tight if you're trying to have multiple cooks at once). Overall, everyone had a great time and we would stay there again.

    This house was amazing. Kid-friendly, pet-friendly, well-maintained, clean. There are also many things a quick walk away; Plymouth Rock, The Mayflower 2, downtown, etc. Great trail nearby for walking/running/dog-walking/etc. The host was clear and communicative. Would absolutely stay in this house again and would recommend it to others!

    House had ants and bugs. Basement bunk beds had sand on top bunks. Probably from old ceiling. One bedroom didn’t have air conditioning

    Cousins Weekend, ages 25-78. Location was perfect, had 13 of us and all were very comforable. Backyard is amazing for coffee and cocktails. Lots of bars and shopping within walking distance, easy to uber also if you get tired. Restaurants were great! You won't be disappointed, anyone having mobil issues would have some problems since bedrooms either upstairs or downstairs.

    The house was warm and inviting, plenty of spaces for lots of adults to spread out, play games, and eat all together. The hot tub was an added bonus during a cold week. Steps to the charming downtown and pretty view in the back to the brook.
