The Whalehouse is a grand Victorian built in 1855. It’s the former house of Herman Melville’s sister, and it’s thought he used to visit her here. The house has two sections: The Main House and The Guest Suite, which are available for short-term stays via Airbnb and VRBO with the 3-year Superhost. The Main House is also available as a phootshoot and film location, workshop venue, and other creative space needs.
