About this property

The Crows Nest - 1747 Historic Isaac Pierce House 2nd floor centrally located

Tucked away at the very beginning of Main Street, guests can enjoy a quiet, beautiful nationally historic neighborhood in a Historically recognized home. A great centralized location just minutes to Bristol, Newport, Providence, Boston and the Cape. Also within driving distance to The Xfinty Center and Gillette Stadium. MBTA's South Coast Rail service out of Fall River is only 7 miles away and has commuter rail service directly into Boston's South Station for $12.25 one way. Enjoy the outdoor pavilion area by the fire as you overlook the Taunton River. High end mattresses, pillows, and linens ensure a comfortable stay. Breathtaking sunrises to enjoy.

An older house has older stairs. Please carefully view the pictures of the stairs leading up to the unit. They may not be for everyone. We do offer a first floor unit, The Clipper if these stairs may be an issue.

Our oversized patio and covered pavilion are perfect to take in a breezy sunny day. The pavilion and outdoor fireplace provide a comfortable outdoor setting. This space is shared with our first floor apartment The Clipper. If you book both apartments, this space is exclusively yours.

Great property in a quiet and convenient location

We stayed here for a recent vacation to Newport and the Cape Cod area. The property was ideally located between those two areas making for great little day trip throughout our stay. The space itself was very clean and well maintained. Check in and check out instructions were easy and well described. Would definitely recommend this property to others.

We had a great stay in a beautiful, comfortable property. The description could have been a little more complete in that the stairs up to the second floor were very steep. Also, the laundry facilities are in the basement.

During our stay I had a fall and fractured my leg. Our host Craig was extremely helpful and was able to help us transition from the second to the first floor apartment. Craig could not have been a better host. He was always responsive whenever I needed to contact him. He was thoughtful and kind. Looking forward to our stay here again next year.

House of History

This property has been refurbished with a labour of love it's easy to see. A glance through the album of photos tells the same story. We really enjoyed our stay especially when we walked the streets and saw similar properties in this quiet but convenient location. A small issue with cutlery was quickly sorted although I would recommend an upgrade in the cutlery and pots and pans department. I would recommend that anyone with mobility issues should not book upstairs as the staircase is challenging as well as the one into the washing room. However that's easily solved by booking the ground floor apartment which I believe is identical in layout. The whole experience is one to remember. Well done Craig and Claudia.

Charming!

We loved the charm of this 1700's house. It had the "old" feel, but was bright, airy, comfortable, and well-stocked. The mattress in our bedroom was extremely easy on the back! Our walks at the nearby park and trails were wonderful, as was traipsing down main street to see the old homes. Some of the stately houses were apparently owned by sea captains long ago and even had widow walks at the top! The view from the sunny front windows looked out at the river and seabirds. This was truly a wonderfu experience!

About the host

Hosted by Craig Sowersby

Host profile image
I was lucky enough to purchase this wonderful piece of property and fully rehabbed myself with the help of some pretty competent professionals. My family of 5 live in the townhouse style rear unit. I love being outside, and this neighborhood is fantastic for that. A walk down historic main street, or head the other way and walk through the Bluffs. Can't say enough about how comforting it is down here and how rich in history.

Why they chose this property

This property is rich in town, local, and worldwide history. This house has left its mark in many historical books. Nothing flashy, but significant just the same. Its a very unique property in a very unique town and I am happy to share it.

What makes this property unique

We went out and got real furniture for this apartment. We got the more expensive mattresses and pillows and so far people are constantly telling us how comfortable our beds are! Comfortable sectional couch with a flatscreen TV and cable. Our internet speeds are amazing. Off street parking and private access to the space along with the wonderful views.
