Great place to stay.

This is a wonderful place to stay. We truly enjoyed our time here. It’s clean, convenient, and modern. The Walsh’s are friendly and a joy to talk to. The apartment is located on a small farm, where you can see horses, sheep, and chickens, and you can explore the area freely. We absolutely loved it. It's an ideal spot for enjoyable day trips to Salem or the coast. If we return to Massachusetts, we would definitely choose to stay here again.

Best place ever!!!

If you like animals and nice people in a beautiful setting...this is the place for you! Everything we needed was there and waiting for us. The bed was super comfy and we slept great every night. We even booked our next stay before we left. Usually we like to stay at different places, but nothing can beat this one. The owners made sure we had everything we wanted. Beautiful, quiet, peaceful.

Lovely pool and large airy apartment

This lovely, quiet farm is a welcoming retreat from the big city hustle and bustle but is close to restaurants, historic Ipswich, polo and several beaches.. This was our second visit and hope to visit again soon.

Absolutely Awesome!

We had an excellent experience at this place. It's a small one bedroom, very high-end unit. So clean, quiet and peaceful. It is equipped with everything you need and things you didn't know you needed! The hosts were very helpful, kind and courteous at all times. Just a click away if we needed them but not hovering over you. The view from the windows was calming. Overlooking the gorgeous pool and patio area. A lovely place for a morning wake up coffee! Very important feature to us is WiFi. This was super speedy, reliable and simple to use. The location is ideal for traveling to visit the seafaring city of Newburyport. Many restaurants and other things to do in just a short ride away. We strongly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed! Our one and only complaint: we had to leave too soon! This was an awesome way to spend the last 3 days of our trip from Florida to New England. We would have stayed a month if we had the time. Strongly recommend a week stay at a minimum - you will not regret it!

Hobby Farm Heaven

This apartment gem was so quiet, clean, new and convenient to the town of Ipswich, Massachusetts. Our hosts, Bill and Laurel were so kind and helpful with any questions we had. Knowing the area helped us too. The weather was over the top hot! But then there was an outdoor pool just outside our patio door. Perfect way to cool down every night.

Best place to stay

This property perfectly met our needs. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and close to the town. Our hosts were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. They were a wealth of knowledge about the area and local sites. Having the farm animals made it more memorable.

Beautiful Ipswich

Laurel the host was incredibly kind and accommodating. Everything was beautiful, clean, and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxing. We got to meet the farm animals and her dog Ava, all of whom were sweethearts. Laurel gave us great local food recommendations, and had the refrigerator stocked with local milk, eggs, butter, and muffins. Gorgeous farm and property, super close to many food options, but feels like you are away from the city. Absolute 10/10

Greatest Stay/Host Ever!

My wife and I honeymooned here on Ms. Laurel’s property and it was perfect from start to finish. Everything was beautiful and peaceful. The animals made the stay even better and Ms. Laurel was more than happy to introduce us to the horses and sheep. The fridge had fresh cream, eggs, and butter, as well as the most delicious Peaches and Crème loaf I’ve ever had. Like someone else’s review said, we were hesitant to leave a review because we want to keep this oasis a secret for future visits!

Best kept secret

We have used vrbo for years, this was one of if not the number one place we stayed. This is a perfect couple's getaway. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere but you are six minutes from restaurants. You can hide away in the modern and immaculately clean rental, go through your sliding glass door to the inground pool, or ask Laurel to introduce you to the animals on site. Laurel was amazing. She lives on site, will give you complete privacy, text daily to see if you need anything, suggest restaurants only locals know about, and answer any questions you may have. Check in was super easy and the fridge was stocked with local eggs, butter, cream, and baked goods. Coffee pods were stocked and the Keurig was top notch. Super thoughtful. After you check in you really dont feel the need to go anywhere. I didnt want to leave a review. I'm selfish and would love to keep this a hidden gem but our stay was so amazing I had to make sure I posted a 5 star review.
