Small carriage house with a lovely garden outside. It takes 20 - 25 minutes to walk into the downtown area. Great town to visit!

Newburyport weekend getaway.
The Carriage house was located perfectly for our stay.
Parking was a little awkward and we note a lack of pots or pans and basic kitchen ‘stuff’ with which to prepare meals. In addition we could find no manuals for the Television, fireplace or other accessories in the rental.
We would not likely stay here again.

Additionally, we'll ensure that DIGITAL manuals for the TV, fireplace, and other accessories are more accessible. We appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
all good, as advertised. Ours was a short stay, only 2 nights. Upon arrival we saw that the washing machine was not working. There was a note on it saying "do not use" and that it needed to be repaired. Not a big deal given our short stay, but if it were a longer stay that would have been rather inconvenient.

Mediocre
Checking in was difficult. Our flight was delayed and we checked in at dark. Was hard to find with no signage or instructions. Pre check In email was short and unclear. When we got in the apartment wasn’t cooled and the temperature in the bedroom was 88. Front window was missing window shade so you could see in. Washer dryer was broken.
Good location and a charming property. Just wish the instruction were more clear and the apartment wasn’t so hot

Pictures are deceiving
Based on the reviews and pictures I was hopeful this would be a bit upscale. It was in fact, the opposite. The kitchen is tiny with an old electric stove with no counter space. The furniture was a hodgepodge of a Goodwill store visit with the TV in a wall , unable to pull out or be able to ever turn on. The sofa was just beat.
No mention of the steep flight of steps to the bedroom, bed was a spring mattress that desperately needs replacing. Bathroom OK but shower curtain filthy at the bottom, an instant turn off for me. Overall, place needs a major facelift and remodel with accessibility to plugs.

Linden Tree Carriage House
This was a great place for me to escape to. Very clean, well equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture. You can walk to the central town area in about 15 minutes where there are many shops and restaurants, nice waterfront. Drive to the beach in under 20 minutes.
The 1 bathroom is upstairs off the bedroom. Note that it is a very narrow steep set of stairs.
The only weakness was that there was no information as to where things were (had to search for pots & pans), where to park or how to operate the television. Apparently the Guest Information book was being updated. Good communication with rental agency when I had questions or needed clarification.
I would go back again!

Loved 252 R High Street!
This is a great place for a getaway. Bright and clean. And the owners Phil and Pat are friendly and helpful.
Lovely place, very nice property owners, everything was great except the bed was a bit hard to sleep on.

Beautiful bright getaway
We loved our stay in this bright beautiful spot. It was a cozy place, just right for the two of us, with a comfy chair for reading, and a comfy bed. It was also just a 15 minute walk into the lovely town of Newburyport. We didn't know about the town before going, but we enjoyed it even more than our day in Boston. It has nice shops, resturants, and it lovely to walk around it. It is also a 15 minute drive to perfect beaches. We will definitely come back!
I took away 1 star because the nearby street was a bit noisy, although it was pretty quiet during the night, and it never disturbed our sleep. But it may bother some. As I said though, the pro's strongly outweigh the bit of street noise. And since the place is set back quite a bit across the lawn and big old trees from the street, there were no privacy issues at all.
