Stay in a beautifully rejuvenated 18th century, light-filled, Georgian home with views of the Piscataqua River, just minutes on foot from Strawbery Banke and Portsmouth's downtown dining and shopping. 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.

Fabulous historic find
This house is an absolute gem. It's like staying in a museum. My husband and I found ourselves reading so much about the history of the house and the area with all the books that the owner provided. It was very comfortable and a lovely place to stay for three days.

What a wonderful stay we had at the Lear House! The owner spared no expense in their restoration of this home. Stunning paintings & antiques, comfy beds, gorgeous well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Perfect location in the heart of the historic district. We loved the Lear House & hope to return someday soon.

Fantastic Stay, book without hesitation!
The Tobias Lear home is a jewel of a property located a short walk from the fantastic restaurants and shops of downtown Portsmouth. My family and I spent a long weekend in this meticulously restored property, enjoying the local shops and restaurants, as well as preparing meals in the homes’ well appointed kitchen. I would definitely recommend this home and hope to stay there again down the road. Host was highly responsive and a delight to work with

Our stay at the exquisite Tobias Lear House was absolutely perfect. It was such a special stay for my daughter’s wedding. We could walk to all wedding events and everything else to offer in beautiful Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The home is well represented on the VRBO site-

This home has been perfectly renovated to retain the historic details while adding all the modern amenities you want to be comfortable! It was a great place to experience with friends for a destination wedding weekend. My only wish was that we’d stayed a few more nights!

Great home for my family!
I was so excited to stay in this historical home and it did not disappoint. This home is beautiful; I felt like I was transported back in time, but we had a beautifully updated kitchen and bathrooms. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the beautiful garden; it was so peaceful. We can’t wait to return and stay longer.
Anthony made everything so easy and we appreciated the supplies. Best VRBO experience we’ve ever had!!

History buffs paradise!
The Tobias Lear House met all of our expectations and more. The home is immaculate and filled with beautiful 18th and 19th century furniture. We enjoyed just sitting in the front parlor ( where George Washington stopped for tea), reading some of the many books on local history that were provided throughout the home.The kitchen has top of the line appliances, and the owner was gracious to leave goodies for us upon our arrival! The home is a nestled in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute walk to town and Strawberry Banke.
We look forward to returning again !

Beautifully restored historic home with modern amenities
We came from California to meet up with our adult children living on the east coast for a New England Christmas experience, and we couldn't have been more pleased. The house has so much history and is beautifully furnished with quality antiques and art, not to mention books galore. Modern kitchen and bathrooms are well-appointed, and the location is ideal, being one block from the river and a short walk to town. When we arrived after a long day of travel we were pleasantly surprised to find the house with provisions in the kitchen and decorated for the holidays in authentic Colonial style, with poinsettias, pine boughs, holly and fruit all around and even a small Christmas tree in the front parlor - such a gracious and unexpected touch! Ice skating a few blocks away was a treat, and we enjoyed several excellent meals in town and prepared a home-cooked dinner on Christmas. Anthony was very helpful, easy to work with and responsive. We would return in a heartbeat!

Over the top
We took our British family to New England to introduce them to American history and scenery different from their usual trip to us in Florida. We could not have imagined a more perfect house to set the stage. My spouse and I usually select beautiful restored homes (B&B's) when we travel, but this was far superior to any place we've ever stayed. We felt welcomed, even embraced, by the welcoming feeling the house provides - in addition to the amazing restoration and beautiful antiques. In our experience, we've been willing to sacrifice some of the modern conveniences in order to enjoy the ambience of the old homes. Not so in this case. Bathrooms and kitchen are top of the line. I'll close by saying that my husband immediately claimed a spot in the study, with a comfortable chair and amazing reading light and declared that he simply was not leaving! Thank you so much. We will always remember this home.

Enchanting
My fiancé and I stayed here in early spring and loved every second! We chose Portsmouth for the nightlife but found ourselves more interested in exploring and enjoying all this beautiful home has to offer.
Entering the front door was like stepping back in time - with all the comforts of modern living. It was clear from every detail that great care was placed on rehabilitating this home in a way that preserves all of its glory, while elevating it to the fully imagined dream of the family that worked so hard to build it.
We spent our entire first evening roaming from room to room; exploring, reading about its history, and enjoying each other's company in a way this world has forgotten. We highly recommend gathering your closest friends and enjoying this incredible experience together. We saved the first night for ourselves and had our friends join us for the second night.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for an experience unlike any other is this lifetime. We greatly appreciate the care that was taken in the home itself and in making us feel at home. We will be back! 💗

Absolutely Amazing!
Staying at the Tobias Lear House in Portsmouth was definitely a 'bucket list' opportunity for my wife and me. We have visited Portsmouth many times, always staying in the downtown area and taking our leisurely strolls through the South Mill Pond area. Well, a few years ago after visiting the Wentworth Museum, we learned the Tobias Lear House can be rented for overnight stays, and we couldn't pass up this opportunity. It did NOT disappoint! The detail of Mr. Foster's efforts (and the crew who did the work) to return the home to its glory of 1760 is amazing. My wife and I are both lovers of everything this home represents and truly enjoyed our stay. The ability to disconnect from today's technology world and just sit and take in the quiet comfort of this home, was not lost on us. Plus, the opportunity to enjoy tea in the same room George Washington had tea in 1789 was surreal. This was just such a great experience. Thank you for making this home available for people to appreciate a small piece of American history first hand.

Amazing House!!
The Tobias Lear House was incredible and if we could give it 10/10 stars we would. It was more than we could have dreamed and we were absolutely delighted with our stay. Surrounded and immersed in history, the house is honorably maintained and full of character. We loved the decor, beautiful rugs, books, and artwork. The kitchen and bathrooms were exceptional and had everything and more than we could have asked for. The fridge had been supplied with water, OJ, eggs, butter, jam, as well as bread and bananas, which was a sweet surprise and nice touch. The location was perfect and we enjoyed walking into town. Parking was close and plentiful. The host was very responsive with any questions we had. We truly would recommend this house 100%. We are looking forward to visiting again. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in such a remarkable home. We were grateful and honored to enjoy our time together in this stunning part of history.

Amazing historic house in Portsmouth
We rented this house over Thanksgiving and it was an incredible experience and a genuine privilege. The house is beautifully rehabilitated but still amazingly has the same floorboards on which George Washington once walked. The history is there and the house has all the modern conveniences - luxurious showers and a wonderful kitchen equipped within everything one needs to cook a feast. And Anthony was incredibly helpful throughout the booking process and our stay.
We highly recommend this property.

It is difficult to provide a summary for this wonderful property.
The level of attention to detail and care provided to this home - and it’s rehabilitation - is simply stunning.
It served as a perfect spot for our family to enjoy one another and some of America‘s history at the same time.
The property manager and the owner are to be commended for their high level of attention to every detail.
Our family is filled with wonderful memories from our stay at the Tobias Lear House.

THE nicest place imaginable.........
The property grounds were filled with plants and flowers, so inviting. The house was just amazing, the kitchen was beautiful, had everything we needed, the bathrooms were so nice, and there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The kitchen and all 3 bathrooms are modern while the rest of the house will take you way back in time. I was so happy I chose to stay here, what an experience!
