Fall adds cool nights, the beauty of changing leaves, the cranberry harvest and of course Thanksgiving!
Golf is one of our foremost recreational activities here on the South Shore, with six golf clubs (Crosswinds, Pinehills, Souther’s Marsh, Squirrel Run, Atlantic Country Club, Waverly Oaks) all a short drive away and all set in Plymouth’s natural beauty and cooled with gentle breezes. On a space available basis, you could play a different course each day!
Reservations need to be taken, window boxes and gardens need tending and koi need feeding, so owner’s quarters are on the third floor complete with a separate entrance. Need assistance?...you’ve got it...need privacy?...you’ve got that too!

We were in Plymouth for a family wedding and needed a large house for the week before the wedding. It met and exceeded all of our expectations. It was beautifully decorated and kitchen very well appointed with all the amenities of home. The back deck with awning, overlooking the lovely gardens below was a special treat, where we spent a lot of time and enjoyed eating outdoors. The location of this home was very close to plymouth center so an easy walk to the shops, restaurants and waterfront. The owners were delightful and so helpful with local referrals of all kind. All of those referrals were perfect from restaurants to salons. The special touches with fresh flowers in the rooms made it feel even more like home. We can't say enough about this home, also a Bed & Breakfast. Thank you Kathy and Dennis for such hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home with us.

I booked the Jessie Harlow House for a reunion week wherein I visited family and friends from the past and made some new friends. The house was so spacious and immaculate and so handy to everything. The car was not needed the whole week. We just walked everywhere - and it is in a terrific location, just steps from the waterfront and all that activity and new boutique restaurants and shops and so much activity going on. I especially loved the spacious covered porch overlooking the koi pond, so relaxing and comfortable - had friends for lunch and took naps and read and just generally relaxed. Kathy and Dennis were so friendly and helpful and not intrusive at all, enjoyed talking to them each day. I enjoyed it so much that I am returning in mid October for another social event - can't wait to tell you the truth.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

The only thing that might equal the charm and comfort of the Jesse Harlow house would be the warmth and hospitality of its owners, Kathy and Dennis. My family and I rented the whole house for a week recently and thoroughly enjoyed every moment we spent there whether it was sitting on the covered porch that overlooks the beautiful garden below, sleeping in our wonderfully decorated rooms (and comfortable beds) or finding charming touches such as fresh flowers in every room. The kitchen was very well equipped and a delight to work in. As hosts, Kathy and Dennis were warm and welcoming. Initially, I thought it might be awkward having them live on the third floor of the property, but it wasn't at all. They made it clear that they would not be inruding on us but would be there if we needed anything, and it worked out well. We enjoyed talking with them and welcomed their presence during the week. They helped us find great places to eat (East Bay Grille....wonderful food and atmosphere), suggested places of interest in the area and were able to answer questions or point us in the direction of others who could if they didn't know the answer. By the end of the week, I felt that we were leaving friends behind in Plymouth. The location of the house is wonderful. We took walks each day and could walk from the house down to the waterfront, walk the length of the waterfront and back up through town. There is a park nearby that is a wonderful oasis of flowers and a rushing stream that we particularly enjoyed walking through. We took a whale watching trip with Captain John's boats (located in the Plymouth Harbor near the Mayflower II) and were delighted with all the whales we got to see up close. We visited nearby Plimouth Plantation and would recommend that if you don't have anyone in your group who has limited walking ability. In short, I would highly recommend a stay at the Jesse Harlow House. It's a beautiful house, has wonderful owners, a great location and was a major part of our very memorable trip to the Plymouth/Boston/Cape Cod area.
