*To get you started...your check in on Saturday includes a welcome basket on the kitchen table of granola, fresh fruit, muffins and sweet breads, crackers for cheese, a bag of our famous Kiskadee Noreaster Blend ground coffee, paper plates and napkins and a bottle of Harlow Ridge Pinot Noir; and in the refrigerator, milk and half and half, an assortment of juices, butter, whole wheat bread and a selection of cheeses.
Rooms are relaxing but luxurious, many with silk drapes and oriental rugs. Sheets and towels are included. Enjoy the back deck off of the kitchen, or the landscaped lower garden and listen to the trickling waterfall of the koi pond, or grab a glass of wine and feel the sea breeze in the bistro garden out front overlooking the historic Training Green and Plymouth Harbor.
The kitchen is equipped with up to date appliances, pots and pans, glasses, dishes, cutlery if you would like to cook/eat in. We also have a relationship with a wonderful caterer in town (Wendy Hall-Your Next Meal Catering) who can deliver complete family dinners or picnic basket lunches to our door with a couple of days notice.
Within walking distance of a full compliment of lovely restaurants from Thai and Indian, to Traditional Seafood; fine dining at a fabulous reservation-only French Bistro up on Russell Street on Friday and Saturday nights; three top-notch Italian restaurants; antique stores, art galleries and the Plymouth Center for the Arts; The Plymouth Philharmonic; fashion and gift shops and Farmer’s Markets; our bustling waterfront, whale watches and boating and fishing excursions; walking historic lantern and eerie ghost tours; not to mention our famed historic sites, Plymouth Rock, The Mayflower II, The Jenney Grist Mill and Brewster Gardens; and Pilgrim Hall Museum. Plimoth Plantation is a 10 minute drive away.
Close to the highway, warm Summer days can be filled with trips to a number of beaches close by, a leisurely drive to the Cape (the Cape Cod Canal is only 20 minutes away) or day trips to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket; Boston, Provincetown, New Bedford; Newport, CT and Providence, RI. 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!

Why the Owner Chose Plymouth
Plymouth is America's Home Town! Historic and natural beauty combined. Exquisite house is in walking distance of sights AND close to restaurants!!
Owner's Map of Plymouth
I had wanted for many years to own a bed and breakfast and I am now living out my dream and combining that dream with the convenience of a vacation rental. House is elegant, upscale...but with the warmth of a home away from home too.
I enjoy my inn-keeping duties, but am also a graphic designer and graphic design teacher teacher and budding watercolorist... Showing Pugs has been a seven year long passion and will transition into breeding in the next couple of years. AKC Champions Vinnie and Harlow and Fannie make their home in nearby Plympton and new sister Fina has started in the show ring!!
So, whether it's a family vacation you're after, or a romantic getaway....I have accommodations to suit your needs. Come be my guest in America's Home Town!
