Staying with Michael was a highlight of our New England trip! Every nook and corner of his lovely cottage was exquisitely, thoughtfully and lovingly designed and executed wonderfully. We stayed in the Green Room - it was very cozy and comfortable, with the wonderful bed and cool track lighting. There's an indoor shower but I'm glad I tried the outdoor shower despite initial hesitation because of the cold weather - it was a glorious experience! I can't say enough about how beautiful his home is and just wish that we could have stayed longer to enjoy the backyard, the firepit and the house even more.
Michael is the consummate host. He was flexible with our arrival time, gave great recommendations for restaurants and places to see in the area, and was gracious in talking to us about his home.
You cannot go wrong in staying at Michael's place. If you're looking for a unique, relaxing place while feeling like a temporary local in Rhode Island - this is the place.
