We loved our stay at Lori's place and highly recommend it.
First we were hesitant to travel during covid- 19 but we felt that we needed to get out of our home where we stayed since March. Lori assured us that her home would be safe and this is how we felt. We lived in a separate room, had a separate bathroom and entrance. Lori followed the cleaning protocol very well. There was no need to worry. Middletown, the Newport mansions and even the beaches felt safe to visit. We enjoyed the nature and beauty of this place. Lori is a great communicator and a wonderful cook. She prepared a very delicious candle-light dinner for us that we enjoyed under the trees on a warm summer evening.
The room and bathroom are nicely decorated and the bed is very comfortable. You can feel that everything is done with love. There is a Keurig coffee maker in the room and small snacks and cool water provided. Lori has many recommendations for what to do.
We got food delivered from nearby restaurants and ate it outside on table under the trees in the yard. We really enjoyed being in the countryside during the summer days. The beaches are nearby and with car you are quickly in Newport. We used UBER and Lyft to get around.
Lori and Matthew are great hosts. If you are more than 2 people, you can additionally rent their camper/RV which is located just beside the house and is totally separate with AC and shower etc. We will definitely come back in the future. There is still a lot to see in this area and a week was not enough.
