Love to host quiet folks and families who enjoy nature and the abundant wildlife of this beautiful river! (geese, egret, swans etc.) and who would appreciate the privacy and peacefulness of this awesome vacation cottage!
Guest will have access to everything in this cottage!
Our kitchen is small but very well equipped with everything you should need, even down to the spices! A gas grill is also provided. All linens, towels, and extra blankets are provided. We get nice breezes on the river but we do provide small bedroom fans if ever needed and there are 3 ceiling fans in the house. Guests are welcome to use our kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and our 5 bikes. There is a small shed on the property that has kayak and canoe paddles, life jackets, etc. Shed also has a croquet set, horseshoes, etc. for yard games.
Other things to note
Many folks ask if the river is clean enough for swimming. The answer is yes! The bottom of the river is a a little muddy from being turned up by all the boat traffic but the river is clean enough for swimming even right in front of this house! We even have our own little (about 20 feet wide) beach in front of this house! Most of vacationers seem to prefer our beautiful ocean beach just 5 minutes away by car! Narragansett Pier ocean is one of the top beaches in the state and was voted top family beach in New England! There are fees for the beaches but we have tips and suggestions for our tenants.
