The Aerie is an incredibly beautiful place to stay. The views are wonderful and despite the rather humid weather the breeze off the harbor helped to make it pleasant to sit outside. There are great details, like the beaver-chewed sticks that are used as towel racks, that let you know the hosts have put in a lot of thought to make The Aerie feel modern, sophisticated, and unique. The neighborhood was lovely- everyone smiled and said hello when you passed by. I was traveling alone with my dog and I felt perfectly safe and comfortable taking him out at night. The kitchen is well stocked and the appliances are beautiful and work great. The stove is a bit off the ground and my rather curious little dog tried to sneak under there- just something to keep in mind if traveling with a curious critter. When sitting on the deck your can hear ambient neighborhood sounds and inside it's very quiet. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend The Aerie to anyone traveling to the area. Sally and Curtis responded to my calls and were delightful. I was sad that the pups were not around- but I look forward to meeting them next time.

The larger area: getting to Providence is very convenient an 8 mile and 15 minute drive. Less than 5 minutes down the road is a Shaws, CVS, and beer/wine shop. Also right down the street is Ronnie's Auto Repair - I had a flat tire and before I even got out of the car a local resident stopped to help me and pointed me to Ronnie's- the guys there were great and helpful.
