Charming & cozy hideaway

Clean, well appointed home with a big yard, fire pit, and dock. Quiet and peaceful as it's located at the end of an unpaved road. Walkable (or a short drive) to a few shops and the beach. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Off Season Stint

We enjoyed our time at the house. The setting and space were lovely. One thing of note to future guests, they have people come by the house to take care of the lawn during the week without notice. Just ask for the schedule from the hosts and you should be fine.

Annual Friends' Weekend Getaway

When booking online it is often difficult to be assured that the information presented is accurate. In this case it really was; this truly is a stunning home in a secluded spot; even the wildlife was welcoming! We were there in winter and had a snow storm keeping us indoors for half of our weekend but that did not detract from our enjoyment at all, in fact, it added to the ambiance of our weekend. The only downside, if there was one, was the approach road being unpaved and muddy when we arrived; I'm inclined to think that in time this road will be paved. We would definitely return to this beautiful, serene spot.

Adorable cottage and wonderful stay

My family of 5 plus our parents enjoyed this perfect set up. The basement bunkroom was ideal for my kids to have a clean, open space for playing and watching their own shows with their own bathroom. The upstairs sunroom made a wonderful addition to space and having family meals with a beautiful serene and peaceful setting. The owners were very responsive and helpful.

Peaceful Paradise!

This beautiful home was perfect for our annual girls’ get together! It was spotlessly clean, well-appointed and comfortably furnished with everything we needed and more. Be sure to try the porch swing, it’s bliss! The property has a lovely view on a quiet dead end street surrounded by water. Darren was a wonderful, responsive host who pays attention to the details that make for a fun and relaxing vacation. We hope to revisit!

A Perfect Weekend by the Water in Rhode Island

We just spent an incredible weekend at a house overlooking a beautiful pond in Rhode Island, and it was everything we could have hoped for. The tranquil views of the water were absolutely mesmerizing, providing a calming backdrop to our entire stay. The house was cozy and inviting, with large windows that let us enjoy the scenery from every room. Mornings began with coffee on the deck, where we watched the pond come to life with gentle ripples and the occasional appearance of wildlife. It was the perfect way to start the day. Our weekend was filled with a mix of outdoor activities and peaceful relaxation. We enjoyed walks along nearby trails and spent hours simply sitting by the pond, soaking in the serenity. In the evenings, the reflection of the moonlight on the water was breathtaking—a memory we’ll carry with us for a long time. This little slice of Rhode Island offered a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, this house by the pond is a true gem!

Perfect stay for touring URI. The house was clean and we loved the sunny porch for meals. The owner Darren was responsive and helpful. The only thing I would suggest is a non stick fry pan or electric griddle. It made it a little difficult to make pancakes. Everything else was perfect!!!
