What a relaxing stay we had at Michael's place! The house itself it amazing - both impeccably clean and impeccably decorated! Our room (the green room) was peaceful, clean, clutter-free and absolutely stunning. We left the sliding door to the patio open and enjoyed the fresh air and sounds of nature. Michael left us a great list of suggested places to eat dinner, along with some bottled water and snacks in our room. We ventured a few short miles to downtown for dinner (Rasa Indian - amazing!) and then met Michael when we came back to the house. We sat on the screened porch with him for a long time, enjoying a beer/wine and excellent conversation. We loved the serene setting, both inside and out, of the cottage. Highlights: incredible outdoor shower, boiled eggs, watermelon and coffee for breakfast, neat and kind host, seeing two deer in the backyard, and top-notch, clean room and house. Downside: I have about a million creative house/yard project ideas picked up from Michael that are now on my to-do list! And I've been spoiled by the outdoor shower.

Whether you just want a relaxing weekend away or you are using the house as a home base from which to explore Providence or Newport, you will love your stay and your host. Wish East Greenwich was closer so we could visit again soon!
