Beautiful home, horrible location
This place was beautiful on the inside, just like pictures, immaculate. However, it is located directly next to the train tracks which should have been mentioned in the listing. The entire house SHAKES like an earthquake is happening every time the train goes by. It is so loud and so rattling, goes until approximately 11:30pm and starts around 6am. Makes for not great sleep which was the only thing I needed the home for.
We loved our stay! Beautiful, modern, clean property with a nice sitting area outside. My wife and I LOVED the train speeding by at over 100 mph or the powerful rumble of the engine as it sits at the station. But it might not be for everyone, take note if your a light sleeper! There are good restaurants and activities nearby, we went to a nearby apple orchard and picked apples and peaches! [September] In fact we are currently planning our next stay at this property for my wife's birthday. Looking forward to it.
This Cottage is Immaculate, The hosts have put their whole hearts into this absolutely beautifully built and decorated home. Everything is brand new and of the highest quality. Everything you need is there. The area is historical and everything you could need is in walking distance. Heidi the host is incredible and is there to answer any and all questions you may have. The listing states everything as it truly is. We just loved our time there and hope to go again soon. It’s worthy of 10 stars
Had a great weekend stay at Heidi’s little laneway/carriage-type house. The space is well designed, clean, comfortable and well appointed (as described). Check in and out were straightforward and Heidi was great in communicating. The trains are definitely a “feature” but nothing that bothered us. Thanks Heidi!
We loved this place. In fact I booked it for July and December. It is just as described, immaculate and meticulously renovated. Clean with everything you need. The train was a Beautiful Song as Neil Diamond describes. It is close to beaches and dining. Heidi and Ric do a great job as owners.
House is absolutely adorable. A perfect place to stay for a getaway weekend or a season. Close to markets, restaurants and beach and highways. We will be back!
The house was perfect for us as a home base over the weekend that was convenient to URI and other happenings. Very nicely remodeled, comfortable, and clean with prompt communication from host, Heidi. We look forward to returning!
My husband and I stayed for 12 days at this lovely two story home in Rhode Island. The house was spotless, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, plenty of hot water for showers, and we even went home with clean clothes because there was a washer and dryer there. We truly felt like home while we were staying there. Yes, there is a rapid train that zooms by periodically, but I have heard more noise during a thunderstorm. We got used to the "WHOOSH!" and it did not bother us one bit. And the train does not run at night and the "WHOOSH" lasts about 10 seconds! We loved our stay and would recommend it highly. It was easy to get on and off Route 4 which takes one to Providence and all that the "big city" has to offer. AND, it is close to the South County beaches.
We also got to see gorgeous fall foliage which, as former Rhode Island residents, we had missed.
The house was a delight. Beautifully decorated and really well-equipped. It is near the train station, so trains go by. The house is well insulated, so the noise is muffled and only lasts a few seconds. The trains stop at night. They did not impinge on our enjoyment, one bit.
The owner was lovely and very accommodating. I’d love the chance to stay there again!!
Loved the location and all the first class appliances.
Would have liked a coffee pot along with the Kuric that was there. I gave the cleanliness a four star rating instead of a five because the porch table and chairs were very moldy. The rest of the house was spotless. Thanks Heidi we enjoyed our stay.
This home lives up to all the positive reviews. Impeccably clean, convenient, beautifully decorated and efficiently equipped with everything one could need. The owners have thought through well all the needs of their guests. They are great communicators and very ethical. I'm grateful to have found this place.
Everything one could possibly need is in this charming, spotless house. Its location within 25 minutes to an hour to attractions and beaches is a bonus. It's nice to walk to the commuter train to visit Boston without the hassles of parking there
This place was perfect for me. It was absolutely adorable and so bright and cheery! It had everything I needed (and more). There was plenty of space, the property was quiet and private (and had lots of birds and butterflies). It had everything that was mentioned in the description. I couldn't have been more pleased. It was also within a central location for driving to all of the major attractions (Jamestown, Newport, Providence). After a long day of sightseeing or beachgoing, I was able to come home and relax and have a quiet evening.
The host also provided me with the information I needed prior to my stay. And thanks to another reviewer, I was able to pick up food items at Dave's Marketplace. I was very pleased with my stay. I highly recommend this rental.
We loved having this sweet little house to ourselves. It was immaculate and the host ran the AC for us upon arrival after a hot travel day!
Highlights:
-washer/dryer
-personal back patio
-keypad entry (no keeping up with keys)
-comfy bed & cozy blankets
-well equipped kitchen
Only downside was the loud train next door running late into the night and early mornings. Be prepared, it’s incredibly loud and shakes the house for up to 10 seconds. Doesn’t last long but can disrupt sleep.
Overall, incredible stay and would be happy to stay here again.
Very warm & inviting. The trains are absolutely no big deal. Like other reviews, they’re gone in seconds. Actually really neat how fast they travel. Close to pretty much everything. 20 minutes to Newport, Narragansett & Point Judith. Highly recommend staying here.
We had a lovely time! It was a good central location between providence and Newport! It was clean, well stocked, and a perfect size for a short weekend.
Great little house if you want to visit city and beach.
We really enjoyed the house. Since we wanted to visit both Providence and Block Island, the central location was great. The train is close and somewhat loud, but it goes by quickly. We did not hear a train between 11 PM and 6 AM during our visit.
Perfect location and close to Wickford village. Great for us , as we were artists at the Wickford Art show. Super clean, organized and had all the extras. Bed was super comfortable too. Train goes by and it’s literally next to the home. So be ready for a little shake rattle n roll. But it does not run all night and starts up around 6 am. Amtrak commuter train. So it’s off n on all day. But the house has a train station vibe , so it goes along with it. We will book again for sure. Thanks so much!
Wow! What a lovely getaway from our daily life. This house has all of the amenities of home (and then some). The house is exactly as described and as pictured. Comfortable beds and that clawfoot tub is what dreams are made of! We were a little concerned by the train being so close, but it was absolutely no problem! The moment you heard it coming it was already gone, so no inconvenience here! We loved how close it was to town while feeling like it was a little out of the way. It’s very central to the shopping and a pleasant drive to Newport and the beach. The host communicated everything thoroughly. We will definitely choose this place for our next stay in Rhode Island!
