Hubby and I were in Newport for a wedding, and our original accommodations fell through. Luckily, we came across the Birdhouse and its lovely owner, Katie! What a find! The home is central to everything Newport - a quick walk to the start of the Cliff Walk and walking distance to the start of the historic downtown area. It is located on a quiet street with ample and easy parking - we had no trouble at all coming and going and finding parking again. The home itself is adorable! It is cozy and decorated with fairy/twinkle lights inside and out, paintings, Buddha statues, etc. - just very quaint and cozy! The room we stayed in was clean and a good size and had a closet for us to hang our suit and dress which was an added bonus! Also, Katie left us two bottles of water in the room which was awesome! The bathroom was clean and worked wonderfully with lots of hot water - it was cool to shower in one of those old-fashioned claw tubs! The home was super quiet, and even though there were others staying at the home at the same time, we did not see anyone else and felt like we had the whole house to ourselves! Self-check-in/check-out was a breeze! My husband had the pleasure of meeting Katie on one of the days while I was getting ready for the wedding in town, and she was super sweet and even offered to drive him over to the wedding venue when he missed his ride! Overall, a wonderful stay with a wonderful host - definitely highly recommend! While the other guests were paying between $200 and $600 per night for the weekend, we paid a fraction of the cost and stayed in a truly unique and loved home in a great location! thank you, Katie!! <3
