What an amazing experience! I had really high hopes from the photos, and this place and host still exceeded my expectations. Chip creates "experiences" in each room--fantastic color combinations, unique antiques, clever accents, etc. I LOVED the uber-deep copper bathtub and rich, vibrant tiling in the bathroom. I spent time reading outdoors as well--great sitting chair with pink petals floating down from the tree above. Chip has a lovely cat-- a real added treat for visitors. (There was no cat hair in any of the rooms, so if you're not a pet person, you needn't be impacted.) But if you ARE a cat person, she's a total delight! In the morning, Chip prepared a gourmet breakfast, with 6 dishes offered. We ate in a room with the most beautiful crystal chandelier--on china and silverware, with linen napkins. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to have visited with Chip. He is a gifted artist, very well-traveled, and has fabulously entertaining stories to share. Chip also had great recommendations for area restaurants...which all looked great. I'd love to come back and visit some of the other places he recommended! He has several other properties, and I'd love to stay in each! Perfect setting for a whimsical, reflective sojourn, with the friendliest and most interesting host! I've stayed in B & B's my whole life, including another B & B in Newport the night before. I've *never* had it this good...and the price can't be beat. Give yourself the gift of a visit here!
