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. A great centralized location just minutes to Bristol, Newport, Providence, Boston and the Cape. Also close to The Xfinty Center and Gillette Stadium. Coming in March 24th, 2025 is the MBTA commuter out of Fall River that has service directly into Boston's South Station. It's endless hot water for showers. 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.

New for the summer of 2024, enjoy our oversized patio, 16' by 24' covered pavilion, and large outdoor fireplace! This space is shared with our first floor apartment The Clipper. If you book both apartments, this space is exclusively yours.

I really liked our stay here. It was much nicer that going to a hotel in Taunton. I loved all of the pictures and stories about the house.

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.

This is our second time staying at this property and we have enjoyed our stay each time . It is “as advertised “. Craig is a good host and is readily available for any questions. Would not hesitate to stay again.

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.

Our stay at the Issac Pierce House was perfect. The apartment is clean, comfortable, quiet, and close to the family we were visiting. We went for nice walks in the evening. We slept well and were refreshed each morning. We plan to stay again!

The property was very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and the water view was relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

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!

We enjoyed the staying at Craig's property. Always so clean and comfortable. This was our second time staying there.

Our family of five stayed here for 7 days and absolutely loved it. A quiet, safe neighborhood on the second floor of a nice older house with lots of history. Old stairways are fascinating and the apartment itself has plenty of upgrades. Craig was awesome and if we had any questions or requests he was very timely and efficient. I highly recommend staying here and would do it again in a heartbeat!

My husband and I and two boys (8, 10) thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The accommodations were clean and spacious fort our needs. The boys had never been in a 2nd floor apartment of an older home and were fascinated by the windy staircase and all the "secret places" in the apartment. Go figure! It was a bit of nostalgia for me, having spent my entire childhood in a very similar home! This is a perfect spot on the outskirts - well within driving range of Providence, Newport, Jamestown, beaches, etc. I highly recommend Easton Beach in Rhode Island for any out-of-state day travelers. Horse Neck Beach on the MA side was huge, but unfortunately on this trip it was full of red seaweed/algae and a little too rocky for our taste. Craig was a great host: we got checked in early and he was responsive and helpful in locating beaches for us. We enjoyed nightly walks along Main Street very much. Thank you, Craig, for a wonderful end-of-summer getaway. We would definitely return.

This was so much better than staying in a one room hotel. Craig was so nice, we had questions and he was helpful and patient. The cleanliness of the apartment was beyond what i thought. Highly recommended!
