The Harbor Suite in the heart of historic Plymouth

'The Barrens' is a Grand Victorian Sea Captain's home in Plymouth's waterfront district overlooking piers and historic sites. The Harbor Suite is a spacious light blue room with water views, queen bed, sitting area, full bath, TV, mini-fridge, and microwave. The space In Plymouth terms, this is a relatively 'young' home: an 1845 Grand Victorian (now 175 years old) that has been updated with technology and conveniences but retains its period charm. Our second-floor guest area also features a sunroom and library/lounge where free coffee is dispensed with a Keurig machine. The library, by the way, is full of many unique volumes dedicated to Plymouth history and our local and regional environment. Guest access Guest access is through stairs at the back of the house. Come slowly up the driveway and then left into a private parking area. Up the back stairs on the second floor are two common areas: the sun porch and our library. You are welcome as well to use the two patios at the back, one under the grape arbor and the other on the harbor side of the building. The first floor is our private living space: please respect that. During your stay Whenever possible we interact with our guests. We are often busy though, with our environmental work, our historic Town Meeting form of government and, like you, with life. But feel free to contact us through the Airbnb system and we can either offer our insights into this wonderful community or point you in the right direction. Other things to note Expect sweet surprises, local knowledge, remarkable access to history and special insights into the region's natural wonders. Sharl founded several environmental organizations and is deeply involved in this special community - both its government and its environment - and Frank is similarly engaged and for a decade covered town government for the local newspaper. The Barrens,' you might ask? The affectionate name for our home actually refers to the Coastal Pine "Barrens," a unique ecoregion found in only three places in the world today: New Jersey, Long Island, and Southeastern Massachusetts (including Cape Cod and the Islands). The entryway stairs are steep: there is one flight on the exterior, leading to the keypad, then another flight to the sun porch. Elderly and infirm guests may find those steps challenging. Please also note that children under 12 are not allowed.
