Ray and Margaret Morley invite you to stay with us at the 1863 Robert Jordan house in the beautiful historic district of Ipswich, Massachusetts. Our home is a late 19th century Victorian house located a few blocks from Ipswich center. The house was built by civil war veteran Robert Jordan, who made his living as a general merchant in Ipswich after the war. You will enjoy gracious hospitality in our very comfortable and tastefully furnished home. Guests are invited to relax in the living room (by the fireplace) with a glass of wine and a good book. Sunseekers may enjoy strolling in the yard, having refreshments on the deck, or a walk through the adjacent historic district.
