About this property

Historic Village Setting

Located on the east branch of the Westport River this 1790-built Georgian house is a fine place for your vacation. Seven miles from beautiful Horseneck Beach, set in the heart of the historic “Head of Westport” neighborhood, this lovingly restored three-bedroom home captures a time gone by.

With a fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining room, delicious meals can be enjoyed at a table for 6. The master bedroom has a queen bed, while the 2 upstairs bedrooms have full-size. All the bedrooms have A/C, but every afternoon around 4 or 5 the cooling breeze comes up the river, and makes the sitting on the patio a treat.

Find a quiet spot in the garden to read, or sit on the back yard patio in the morning enjoying coffee and birdsong.

There is a seafood market down the road where the freshest fish and shellfish can be bought to put on the gas grill. One can eat nothing but local fruits and vegetables from farm stands and farmers’ markets (when in season).

Kayaks and paddleboards can be rented across the road. Or you can bring your own to put in at the town landing there. The Head is an ideal place to start a bike ride. Westport has great roads and (mostly) polite drivers.

A short walk brings you to a country store featuring ice cream and penny candy and fresh made donuts.
The rolling hills of farmland and salt water rivers are unique to New England.

Historic home by the river and Head Landing

We stayed for a long weekend. The first door bedroom was perfect for family with mobility challenges. The fenced yard was great for our toddler, and the patio was perfect for dinners outside. The kitchen was well equipped and things were easy enough to find. Great books and games. We had some trouble figuring out the TV, and didn’t find a stereo so bring a Bluetooth speaker for tunes. Otherwise a lovely setup perfect for family or friends, walkable to coffee, ice cream, kayak rentals, and local trails. Beautiful historic house. Hosts left clear instructions, too! Would definitely recommend.

Girls Weekend

My friends and I were down for a quick weekend away to run the Horseneck half marathon and 3.5. We had a wonderful experience. The property is charming and the yard is beautiful. It’s located near Westport River winery and to the parking lot we started our race from. We would definitely stay here again!

Historic House in Historic Community

Much of what I would say has already been said by other reviewers. I would add that the hosting couple were very friendly and helpful. I was travelling with a senior who has mobility issues. The home offered a main floor bedroom and en-suite which worked perfectly for her...with an adjoining kitchen and living room with a TV. The hosts even offered the use of a mobility walker or "Rollator" while we were there. While you need to be fit to access the bedrooms on the top floor if you are travelling with someone with limited mobility these was a great choice for us.

Paradise in Westport

We cannot say enough about how wonderful Sacha and Quentin are as hosts. Their place is charming . We appreciated the AC option, yard and having a driveway to park in. We’re located right across the Westport river and kayak rental place . We had such a fun and relaxing vacation.

Comfortable private vacation

My husband and I rented Sasha’s well-equipped and lovely antique home for a month in August. There was a quiet, totally private sunny garden with table, umbrella and grille, but we were able to enjoy the whole larger property, including a vegetable garden, hammock ch a irs and a path to the river. With a bedroom and bath on the main floor we stayed on one floor except to do laundry upstairs, but when our family came to visit they had the upstairs to themselves. Perfect for two of us with private expansion for our guests. The location was lively on the street with the country store (fresh donuts and good ice cream—yum) and kayak rental nearby, but very quiet in the back. The hosts were extremely responsive but did not intrude at all. Thanks, Sasha and Quentin, for everything.

Head of Westport Farmhouse

The house was just as pictured and described. We were arriving after 7pm after a flight from CA. The fresh fruit, milk, coffee, pound cake and a chilled bottle of wine that was waiting for us made us feel relaxed and welcome. So thoughtful! We loved the quaint touches of homemade quilts on all the beds in the house and the downstairs bedroom where we slept was very comfy. Sacha and Quentin are lovely hosts and extremely responsive to questions and concerns. I can just imagine staying in this home in the spring or summer with the big yard complete with bbq and outdoor dining area. Don’t miss the little market just steps away with donuts made fresh in house every day. Bottom line: great house, great hosts and great location!

Everything exceeded expectations

The property is deceptively big and much more so than it appears on the listing photos. The house was clean and well appointed, with everything you could possibly need. The setting is beautiful, with a sense of space about you while also having all the necessary amenities relatively close by. Sacha and Quentin were the perfect hosts, making sure there were groceries available for our late Sunday arrival. They were on hand for whatever we needed. 10/10 experience. If we were in the area again we would definitely rent here.

Clean, Great Location, Cozy with Great Character

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely updated and cozy antique house. It has two bathrooms, three bedrooms with closet space, two living rooms, and a great kitchen. We’d love to stay again and use the backyard too. The claw foot tub was the best, always looking for rentals with one! Parking and wifi were easy and the charming head store is next door, should you need doughnuts, eggs, coffee, ice cream, etc. We also loved the natural light in the super clean house and the location offers easy access to our favorite things in the area, including the beaches. We’d love to come back!

Clean and Comfortable

This house is lovely; it's somehow spacious but cozy. The kitchen was totally functional -kind of a surprise for a rental, and especially for a historical house. The stovetop and oven are gas, the dishwasher works well, there's a big enamel sink, and there's enough counter space to not feel cramped. The long table in the main room was great for tackling work while traveling, and still left enough space to eat dinner. The TV room was my favorite space, the couch is really the perfect spot for reading or knitting. Plus there's a table in there that's big enough for jigsaw puzzles. The bedrooms are comfortable, with plenty of space for hanging up clothes. The bed we slept in was firm (happily), and there were extra quilts in every room. The linens were clean, and the beds made up crisply, so they felt pretty inviting. There's a hallway with plenty of extra towels and beach towels. -I imagine this would be especially nice in summer. The showers had great water pressure and hot water. The laundry room had a functional washer and dryer, laundry soap, dryer sheets, and hanging racks. The outdoor area had some gorgeous fall foliage while we were there, and made a great spot for sipping coffee in the mornings. Overall, this is the perfect spot to vacation in Westport. I would definitely recommend it, and look forward to visiting again!

Wonderful stay in Westport!

We had a wonderful 2 weeks staying in this beautiful house, almost as soon as we walked in, we felt at home. It was clean, comfortable and furnished beautifully. It had all the graceful lines and elegant proportions of a house built in the late 1700s, but with all the comforts of 21st century living. The garden was a joy to relax in, leading down to the river at the back of the property. The town of Westport, with the winding river running through it and picturesque houses, was a pleasure to explore. Sacha and Quinton were very welcoming and friendly. There was even a welcome pack of milk, tea and cake waiting for us when we arrived. We would heartily recommend staying at this lovely home, and would love to return again one day!

Perfect Holiday Home

This wonderfully roomy three-bedroomed property perfectly fitted our stay in Westport. We had exquisite weather during our holiday, so we spent most evenings in the back garden making use of the grill. Sacha and Quentin were fantastic hosts, allowing us the use of the extended gardens to the rear and they even mowed the lawn for us to play croquet on! We all agreed that we were incredibly fortunate to find such a beautiful and well-presented house to stay in and we can't thank Sacha and Quentin enough for helping us have the greatest holiday any of us have ever had.

Nice location & plenty of space

We enjoyed our stay at the farm house. They have a lovely yard and patio set up for dining outside. The location is very convenient and love that it is next to the Old Country Store for morning coffee, provisions, and of course ice cream. The house is well-equipped with everything you'd need to make a comfortable stay. The owners live next door but were not intrusive. Would recommend this property for someone looking for a quiet & quaint getaway in the SouthCoast

This beautiful historic home captured our hearts!

We rented this lovely home for just over a week to be with my son's girlfriend on her college spring break. From the moment we got here it felt like a second home. It was spacious enough for us to spread out, yet perfect for family time when we wanted it. The kitchen was fully stocked, and there was never anything we needed that we couldn't find. The home was fresh and clean and the beds were super comfortable! I worked virtually for part of the trip, and the internet accessibility and speed was great. We loved the location - the feel of historic Westport yet near absolutely anything you could need or want. We did day trips to Newport, Salem, and Gloucester. When we come back in warmer weather we look forward to hanging out in the yard, grilling, and hitting the beaches. The owners, Sacha and Quentin, were always available but left us with complete privacy. We'll never forget our wonderful week here and look forward to coming again soon!

Spacious, bright, and lovely house!

My husband and I stayed here during the week of Christmas and I am so happy we did. This house is spacious, has a ton of natural light, and is super cozy. The location is great and the hosts were excellent, checking in on us from time to time to make sure our stay was going well. This was by far the best rental I’ve booked.
