I rented this cabin as a surprise overnight for my fiance's birthday and not only did it deliver on my expectations...it far exceeded them. To say that this place is special is an understatement. This magical cottage is situated on the most beautiful property and the inside is comfortable, cozy, eclectic, and private with spectacular views of the bridge from Jamestown to Newport.

David and Jennifer (and their sweet dog, Arlo!) were really easy to work with and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We felt that they were always accessible, but found that we didn't need much since they had thought of everything! We took them up on almost all of their recommendations for nearby restaurants and island activities and were able to fit in so many things into two days- Spinnakers Cafe for delicious lobster rolls while overlooking the ocean (twice), ice cream at The Scoop, brunch on the porch at the Village Hearth Bakery, kite flying and hiking around Beavertail State Park, touring historic Watson Farm, and visiting Windmist farm to see the black and white cows. There was so much to do on this picturesque island, it was a perfect mix of relaxation and activity.

David and Jennifer were also generous enough to take the time to share their business and passion for glass blowing with us - we made two ornaments which weren't nearly as beautiful as their work, but we felt very accomplished and will proudly display our work in our home. Learning about their art was really interesting and it gave us the opportunity to learn something new, see deeper into their work, and gain a better appreciation for it.

The outdoor sink and solar shower were also very cool! Brushing my teeth while feeling the warm sun on my back felt like a luxury and the outdoor shower made for a serene start to the day. We were lucky to have ample sunshine to warm the water. We also took advantage of the outdoor space and made a campfire in the evening.

Everything was perfect.
