Beautiful House - Great Communication - Wonderful Stay

We loved our stay in Bristol! We were there as a large family to celebrate my sister’s wedding. The house was the perfect place to all be together on that long weekend. The hosts were excellent and easy to communicate with. The house was immaculate! The pool was lovely and everything was as described. We would love to come back again!

This place was incredible. If you think the pictures look great, just wait until you see it in person. Every inch of this home was so thoughtfully designed. I could easily picture having a family holiday celebration here. The entire house was beautifully maintained and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need.A special shout out to Donna and Bill, who truly made our trip exceptional. When I first booked the house back in February, I mentioned that we were hosting a wedding at the mansion across the street and needed help finding venues for the rehearsal dinner and the welcome reception. They sent me a list of fantastic local options, and every recommendation was perfect.Donna and Bill are two of the kindest, most thoughtful hosts I have ever met. They made me and my family feel like part of theirs. I highly recommend this home and the wonderful experience of working with them.

Great wedding weekend in Bristol!

We stayed at this beautiful and large home for a family wedding at Blithewold Mansion. The location could not have been better! The house itself is much larger than expected and the owners could not have been more hospitable! We only wished that it was warmer so that we could enjoy the beautiful pool. I would highly recommend this property!!!

Great Family Vacation Spot

This was a charming rental with two houses combined into one large family space. There were 2 kitchens, which was great for a large family. The house was impeccable, with lots of areas to hang out in groups or to sit quietly reading. The hosts were great, welcomed us to the property, gave us tips on the area, and Donna even brought us excellent blueberry muffins from the local farmer's market. They were a great pick-me-up after a long cross-country flight. Would definitely stay again.

AMAZING STAY!!

This house is EVERYTHING! Stocked & ready to host your family for a big event or just a relaxing getaway. We rented this house for our daughter's wedding at Mt Hope Farm & it was pure perfection. Donna & Bill are the kindest hosts & opened their home to us. The decor, landscaping & overall aesthetic of this home is stunning. Everywhere you look are little details that make this space comfortable & high-end. Thank you for making our celebration truly special.

Amazing home for Family Wedding Weekend

What a wonderful, beautiful home - so comfortable & spacious for a family wedding weekend or any family getaway! Donna met us at the house & made us feel so welcome. We were in town for a wedding at Mt Hope Farm just a short drive away. Our family group included our six year old twin grandsons who absolutely loved the pool & the jacuzzi was used constantly. Many thanks to our hosts for sharing their incredible home with us. We’d love to stay there again. Highly recommend this amazing home.

Perfect weekend in Bristol

The perfect location in Bristol for easy access to Blithewold, Portsmouth and downtown Bristol. Not only were the rooms and furniture beautiful and comfortable, but there was plenty of space for our family and an abundance of amenities. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. A true pleasure after a day in the sun and humidity. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts. They were extremely helpful and responsive, and provided us with recommendations in the area. We hope we can visit again in the future!

Family vacation

Home was lovely, there was an abundance of kitchen and general supplies that were extremely handy. Beds were firm but comfortable, all bedrooms and bathrooms were so well appointed and made you feel indulgent! Property managers were available for questions or instructions (there was a technical glitch with the hot tub pump and pool waterfall was out of order during our stay). One note, if staying with small children, many doors lead out to pool/jacuzzi and there is no safety fence around the pool/jacuzzi itself. Would absolutely recommend to anyone for a great vacation.

Perfect stay in Bristol RI

We rented this incredible property for a family wedding in Bristol RI. The hosts were very responsive to our questions leading up to our stay often getting back to us immediately. They were commited to making our stay a success. This property is lovely. The home is beautiful...warm, welcoming and impeccably decorated. Everything we needed for 8 adults to get ready for a wedding was provided. The house also had several different areas where groups could hang out and catch up. The outside areas were beautifully landscaped and provided several spots to gather as well. Our stay in this property is now part of our wonderful wedding weekend memories!

Amazing stay in Bristol!

Our family had a fantastic stay in Bristol. Our hosts were incredibly hospitable. Donna met us to show us the property and explain how things work. We were able to utilize the spacious home and manicured garden and pool. There were even toys available for my young son. We were visiting the area to attend a wedding at Blithewold Mansion and we were the luckiest guests because the house couldnt have been closer to the venue. All we had to do was walk across the street. Accessing the historic portion of Bristol was also convenient. It was an approximately five minute drive.

This beautiful seaside home in a safe New England neighborhood offers a charming RI vibe. Ideal for families, wedding parties, or groups, it comfortably hosted our family reunion with 10 overnight guests and 18 visitors over a long weekend, ages 7 to 87, with plenty of space and quiet when needed. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and thoughtfully decorated, featuring fully equipped kitchens, high-end appliances, and quality linens. The beds earned praise, including from a great-aunt with a hip replacement—all beds were plush and soundproofing kept noise to a minimum. The patio, pool, and hot tub provided endless fun and relaxation, while fast WiFi kept everyone connected. Hosts greeted us in person, provided welcome tips, and responded swiftly to questions, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. The home was recently professionally cleaned, with fresh flowers adding a warm touch. When we left behind some sneakers, the host offered to send them back—exceeding our expectations. We’d love to return and highly recommend this lovely property. We felt like visiting friends' home and are already missing it!

This property was incredible. Driving up to it we were all mislead. It it is massive. Every room had a crisp spring time smell. The host were on site and so accommodating to all of our needs.

Host profile image

My wife and I moved to Rhode Island in September of 2020 to be closer to her family and enjoy being so close to the water. We were married at Mt Hope Farm back in 2016 and have talked about moving back ever since. Now that we are here we love spending time on the water sailing and split our time between Bristol and Prudence Island.
