Staying at the stunningly refurbished Tobias Lear House, where President Washington took tea in November of 1789, will immerse you in Portsmouth's rich history. It's like living in a museum house but with all the comforts of the 21st century. The house’s sleeping arrangements include a family suite with two bedrooms as well as Madam Lear’s Chamber, which features an en suite bathroom. All our bedrooms, most comfortable beds and beautiful views. In May 2023 the Tobias Lear House’s rejuvenation was honored by the NH Preservation Alliance. Due to the house's historic nature and close proximity to neighbors, our maximum is four adults and two children and we do not allow parties or events on site. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83460000/83457400/83457360/88908905.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chic Loft-Style Condo in Downtown Portsmouth Portsmouth - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Parking available 10 Exceptional 13 reviews £400 includes taxes & fees 29 Oct - 30 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=83457360&PinnedHotelID=83457360&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88940000/88938200/88938110/3cad7ab4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic Downtown Water-view Loft on Ceres Street Downtown - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=88938110&PinnedHotelID=88938110&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111770000/111760300/111760240/1be4e939.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tugboat Vista 2 Bedroom Downtown Portsmouth Downtown - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 6 reviews £280 includes taxes & fees 12 Nov - 13 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=111760240&PinnedHotelID=111760240&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78730000/78727400/78727310/b7961cab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Downtown Escape ❤️ Deck, Fireplace, 95 WalkScore Downtown - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 50 reviews £285 includes taxes & fees 29 Oct - 30 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=78727310&PinnedHotelID=78727310&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22730000/22722100/22722035/056a6d78.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Portsmouth Downtown With A View And Bring Your Dog Too!
