Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Barbara Briger & Katherine Lange

Owners and sisters, Barbara and Katherine spent their childhood in Albany, NY. Barbara now lives Amherst, NH ; Katherine lives in Davidsonville, MD. Although the cottage has been in the family since the late 1960’s, they took sole ownership 16 years ago.
Why they chose this property
The cottage was purchased by our father in the mid 1960's. Originally a small fishing bungalow, it has been refurbished, updated and additions built to accomodate current and future generations of our family. Family members enjoy spending time here when it is not rented especially the July 4th week.
What makes this property unique
The cottage sits on .33 acres which is a rare find in coastal communities of RI. Snug Harbor is a small community of both seasonal and year round homes. Recent land development has seen a boom in large stately homes without compromising the feel of a quaint small community frequented by those who love to antique, boat, fish, swim, soak in the sun and take in the sounds of the beach . Many well known seaside restaurants abound in the area for feasting on fresh local seafood.
