This was a wonderful and extraordinary B & B experience. This stately home was so perfectly located for everything we wanted to do this visit to Rhode Island. We were minutes from Waterfire, Federal Hill, shopping and parks. We were just a hop away from the highways for ease of visiting family members in the area. Our Host, Chip, was warm and friendly, and a fabulous resource with local stories and hints. He is a fascinating person with great tales of travels, but he is out of sight unless you want him to talk. Our advice? Talk to Chip! This home itself was an experience that will long be remembered. Although there were museum quality furnishings and pieces of art throughout, the home was not stuffy at all. On DAY 4 of our stay, my husband realized we had never turned on the tv even once! There was too much to see and marvel over in the room and the dining areas. It was a glimpse into a simpler time. If we had forgotten anything, there were all sorts of grooming products available. There were lovely robes in the bath area. I don't know why we got so lucky, but Chip had special breads and cut fruit and coffee available when we started our day. We had no idea he was going to do that! When we came back in at night, there was a glass domed cake plate with wonderful brownies, cookies, etc. There were wine glasses and a carafe on the table as well. Perfect for sitting outside in the garden/patio area stargazing at night or with a book in the afternoon. It is clear our Host has taken hospitality to the next level. If you love architectural detail and authenticity, you will find it here. Nothing jazzy or plastic, just a step back in time away from excessive technology. We will stay again when it is available. This is a well-kept secret you want to share with your best friends and family!
