Each summer, Northshore Magazine publishes an issue that celebrates brand new businesses, local main-stays, and the rising stars of our region with the “Best of Northshore” issue.

This year Briar Barn Inn appeared in the Editors’ Choice section, named “Best New Historic Stay” for The Cottage at Briar Barn Inn!
 
In the issue: “The Cottage at Briar Barn Inn delivers an unforgettable experience. Housed in the meticulously restored Perley-Lamber-Jewett House, a circa-1725 saltbox in Rowley’s Historic District, the new accommodation, which sleeps six, seamlessly blends more than 300 years of New England history with modern comforts.”
 
Thank you for the spotlight! This project has been a major milestone for us, and we’re so thrilled to see so many guests coming through to enjoy this new guesthouse.

This spring, we invited and a group of friends to be among the first to settle into this new space. From a fun arrival gift and dinner at Grove to a dusk debrief on the extra-comfy couch and a slow morning with books on the porch, it gave us a glimpse of how essential time away with friends and family can be.

Send this spot to the travel team; reservations for the next six months are now open!
