About this property
The Clipper - 1747 Historic Isaac Pierce House 1st Floor
Historic Isaac Pierce House located in Somerset Historic Village District. This first floor vintage apartment features large rooms with many old historic touches still intact. Enjoy the original wood shutters for light blocking and the craftsmanship as they fold into the walls. The apartment highlights the bustling clipper ship era of Captain James Madison Hood's Shipyard which is now The Village Waterfront Park. Some of the fastest clipper ships in the world were built and docked here. Little pieces of that history are all around during your stay.
MBTA's commuter rail is now available. The South Coast Rail is located 7 miles from the house with service connection directly to Boston's South Station.
New for the summer of 2024 is our oversized stone patio with a covered 16' by 24' pavilion. Enjoy the covered outdoor space and the large outdoor stone fireplace. This space is shared with the second floor apartment The Crows Nest. Book both apartments and the space is exclusively yours.

This was probably the best rental we have stayed in. Very clean and nicely decorated. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Host responded quickly to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this property.
This is beautiful historic home amazingly restored to it's historic roots with modern amenities. We stayed in The Clipper which felt like we were visiting the past
My maiden name is Pierce and I traced my ancestors to this town and property on Ancestry.com.
Everything was wonderful. The apartment was very clean and beautiful. The beds were comfortable. Anything that we need to make the stay enjoyable was provided. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family.
We stayed at both properties by this owner while our daughter is recovering from surgery in the hospital in Fall River. Both units were clean and well appointed. We would definitely recommend!
This was a beautifully restored historic home. My family and I were in town for a funeral and this was the perfect place for us location wise. It was also a calm and relaxing retreat during an otherwise busy and stressful time. There was plenty of room for 3 of us and the owners have thought of everything. We did not look for a single thing at this home we couldn’t easily find. It was also extremely clean.
Nice and clean . Great bathroom and towels 😁 living room very comfy. You can hear apartment above you a little bit but very respectful and quiet from 11 PM on
The accommodations were well taken care of. The location is quiet. We had a wonderful stay. We will stay again if it’s available next time we travel this way.
Love the location. Property is clean and well taken care of. Our host Craig is very kind, and friendly. Always a quick response to every question or concern we may have.
We had a great time staying here. The house is very old so you should expect minor things that go with staying in an old house. It did not bother us, or affect our stay. It was clean and well kept. It was in a nice neighborhood. The parking is easy to use and off the road. The hosts were nice and accommodating.
