We stayed in the first floor apartment of Holly House this trip. It was so comfortable and homey. We love that it is right next door to the Harte House restaurant. Thank you Denise for this great stay.

Great comfy place to stay in Ipswich! My father in law is from Ipswich - he visits every year for the Topsfield Fair. So glad we found this place to stay in Ipswich so we can join him. House was clean & had everything we needed to make our trip great—looking forward to next year !

We stayed 5 nights for wedding festivities.
Pros: exceptionally clean, well equipped, lovely landscape
Cons: tired furnishings, odor in entry hall so we used back entrance, mattress uncomfortable, shower faucet failed and could not be shot off, toilet handle broke off in our hand, the glass shower door came off the track.
The owners responded within a half hour to our call for help and had the plumbing was repaired same day but I think the whole thing could have been avoided if their cleaning crew reported the problems prior to our arrival. No reimbursement was offered for our inconvenience.

This lovely apartment is only a mile from downtown and next to one of the best restaurants in Ipswich. It is very well stocked for cooking and there is an alcove and outside patio for eating. We only stayed two nights but hope to return for a longer stay.

Beautifully remodeled 1880 Victorian keeping the authenticity and charm with some modern touches. The grounds are lovely with ample parking. We were visiting family for 3 weeks & the location was exactly in the middle of all.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Holly House! My sisters and I enjoyed a lovely long weekend in the surrounding area. Enjoyed long days and slept well in very comfortable beds. Owner was very responsive to inquiries. Holly House had everything we needed, clean and easy access. Many thanks for the wonderful stay!

The house was charming. Lots of windows made it bright and cheery, but at least one window was left unlocked (ground floor). It was clean, but there were a good number of ants in the kitchen around the dishwasher. The 3 window air conditioners adequately cooled the place, in spite of the ghastly hot weather we had while there. The restaurant next door was closed when we visited, so no review on the food. It was close enough to our accommodations that noise probably would have been an issue had it been open so it was just as well. Parking was great, close to shopping.

Great location to visit beaches, Newburyport and various museums. Nice apartment with comfortable beds and good sized rooms. Next door to the fabulous Hart House restaurant and close to downtown Ipswich. Denise was wonderful and checked on us during our stay to be sure we had all we needed. Beautiful backyard with grill and outdoor dining. Good for small family group.

We loved our stay. The town of Ipswich is beautiful and the location of this lovely home is within an easy drive of Salem and Gloucester.
The house is well equipped and decorated according to the age and style of the house. The shower was nice and powerful, which is always a plus.
The only improvements in our opinions were that the mattresses could do with replacing. They were very soft. Also the couch seats in the living room could be replaced/refilled. These small things did not take away from out stay. Thank you so much

The apartment was clean, well kept, and in a convenient location to a number of amenities. There is a restaurant next store in case you dont want to drive the 2 minutes into the historic town center for dinner. Communication was clear and everything was smooth. We would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

Had business in Lynnfield, but didn't want to stay in a hotel. This lovely VRBO was well worth the 25-30 min. drive. It's a perfect location to explore, it was clean, had everything needed, and was absolutely charming. Will definitely stay here again if back in the area. Plan some time just to relax with your favorite beverage in the comfy den. While Hart House is a little out of my personal price range, I did have one of the best Old Fashioned ever at their Tavern bar (inside the same house at the restaurant). A local provided the tip, so I'm passing it along! So much to do so close to the home! Perfect combination!

This was a really great place to stay! Plenty of amenities, the bed and pillows were super comfortable in the kitchen is really well stocked. Easy walking to downtown if switch and a really great coffee shop right around the corner. Check-in was really easy. Great back patio. Denise checked in halfway through my stay and made sure I had everything that I needed. Highly recommend!

Brought my wife and kids to Ipswich to visit Salem over the holiday and enjoy some day trips up the coast. Location was great and the house fit all of our needs. Would highly recommend for future stays for my friends and family coming to the area.

The house was everything we wanted for a girls long weekend getaway. It's extremely cozy and clean with the comforts of home. Just a mile from downtown Ipswich, it's also very close to Marini Farm, conservation trails and right next door to the 1640 Hart House. Definitely make reservations there. We can't recommend a stay here enough!

We stayed here for a weekend in the fall during my nieces wedding. The apartment is beautiful, the furniture is comfortable, it was very clean and very well kept. The location is great, you can walk into downtown Ipswich to grab a bite to eat. One of the best VRBOs I have ever stayed in.

Rented first floor for a quiet weekend as we were in town for a family wedding and the unit above had been rented by bride of another wedding same weekend for them to get ready…10+ people were in the unit clopping about wedding photographer
Make professionals in and out with mound music all day was terrible as we read it was not to be used for an event …..unacceptable as you should be vetting those that stay
If not for that horrible day you would be receiving a nice review

On short notice my sister and I (active seniors) needed a place to stay while attending a family reunion near Ipswich. Imagine our surprise when we found this charming, spacious apartment available for our dates. With two big bedrooms it was just what we needed. When we arrived on a 95 degree day, we were delighted to find the entire apartment cooled with air conditioners throughout. The huge kitchen had all the comforts of home. Cable TV and streaming services were available on two TVs. The apartment was blocks away from the center of Ipswich where we saw so many historical New England houses. We enjoyed great coffee every morning from the Little Wolf Coffee shop, close enough to walk to but only 3 minutes to drive in hot weather. We wouldn’t hesitate to make this apartment our home base on a future trip.
