Great cozy cottage just a few minutes from Newport and great beaches. Lori was very responsive and a perfect host. We enjoyed how quiet the property was especially at night. Air conditioners kept the cottage comfortable and the front porch was a great spot for morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail. We will be returning to Lori’s property in the future!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming cottage! The location is wonderfully private and peaceful, yet it’s just a mile or two from Second and Third Beaches, Sweetberry Farm, and all of the attractions Newport has to offer.The private backyard was one of our favorite features, with beautiful trees and stone walls bordering the Norman Bird Sanctuary. It truly felt like a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.The cottage itself was the most well-equipped rental we have ever stayed in. Everything we could possibly need was provided, so all we had to bring were our personal belongings. The outdoor shower with changing area helped the 4 of us clean up quickly after a hike or day at the beach. The thoughtful touches made our arrival especially memorable—a beautiful vase filled with fresh flowers, a welcome gift, and snacks greeted us when we walked in and immediately made us feel special and at home.Lori was wonderful to communicate with and was responsive and helpful whenever we had a question or needed anything. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and enjoy with friends. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and convenient getaway near the beaches and Newport!

Perfect place for 3 of us, from the moment we booked until the moment we left, the hostess was gracious. This was a great home base to explore all of what Newport has to offer. It is a well equipped cottage in a private location.

Great cottage in an ideal location

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.
