Perfect getaway

Everything was perfect. The cottage was really nice! The owner had everything you could possibly think of available as far as supplies go. It is pretty close to Newport and we did some great things in Newport and the host provided some great snacks for us.

Nice private location with beautiful yard and landscaping. Lori was very responsive and had a lovely welcome basket and gift. The bathroom needs to be updated and the couch was worn and uncomfortable. Otherwise a great stay.

Perfect cottage in Newport!

Lori’s cottage was the perfect spot for a girl’s trip in Newport. It was stocked with every amenity we could ask for and was a convenient location to get into town or the beach. It was super quiet and private- we really enjoyed the outdoor furniture and shower! Easy communication with Lori before and during the stay. Will absolutely be staying here again on our next trip.

Terrific cottage, terrific spot

One could not ask for more than a cozy cottage, a friendly and helpful owner, in a lovely part of the world. We listened to birds sing, watched the sun rise at a nearly by nature preserve, turned the beautiful, nearby church yard of the historic St. Columba chapel, and drove to the nearby, sandy Middletown beaches. It's a beautiful area, if you enjoy nature and nearby good markets and restaurants you cannot go wrong to stay in this comfortable and well stocked cottage set in a beatufil yard with great furnishings.

Fantastic house in great location!

The house was perfect for our little family. The location is amazing — quiet but super close to the Middletown/Newport Beaches. It is amazingly well stocked — and has everything anyone would need — from comfortable beds to fast Wi-Fi to every utensil and appliance imaginable. Lori is a great considerate hostess. Five stars.
