We spent one week at Sherman's cottage. The place was very clean, cozy, comfortable, with a nice deck to relax. Sherman Lane is a very quiet street, so your hear nothing at night. Middletown is mostly interesting for its proximity to great spots to hike in the nature and along the coastal line - Sachuest Point is a fantastic hike. The cottage is just a few minutes away from all the main attractions in Newport - the mansions, the Cliff Walk, Ocean drive, Tennis Hall of Fame, etc. Kathleen was very easy to communicate with and she always answered my questions in a timely fashion. We were very happy we chose Kathleen's place for our week of vacation in this area of Rhode Island.
