Brimblecomb Hill Guest House

About

Brimblecomb Hill Guest House is a guest house in a restored antique home in Old Town Marblehead, built in 1721 by Isaac Mansfield on what was then called Brimblecomb Hill. Over three centuries the house has been home to a cooper, a cordwainer, a minister, a wigmaker, an ice cream maker and a friend of Benjamin Franklin. It has been featured in Better Homes and Gardens and Colonial Homes.

Guests choose from a few rooms. The Isaac Mansfield Room, in the oldest part of the house, has a queen four-poster bed, a private bath, plenty of books and a view of the 1727 Old Town House, where George Washington once addressed the town. The Path Room, in a section dating to around 1810, has a private garden entrance and bath, and can be paired with the Deck Room as a family suite with a shared bath.
