my girlfriend and i came to providence for a relaxing change of pace from other beaches local to us. Gail's little log cabin setup is a great value especially when you consider the cost of hotels in the surrounding area! her neighborhood is quiet and calm, and within walking distance to a few restaurants, two ice cream stands, a liquor store (woohoo) and a peaceful walking trail to leads out to where you can overlook the river. she had no problem getting us extra towels and whatever else we needed on our stay. i did mention to gail that black out curtains in the bedroom would be a huge plus for us late risers. the area was cozy and SUPER clean when she showed us in, plus all the woodwork she did herself! Overall i enjoyed our stay in Rhode island and do plan on returning.
