My purpose for visiting Kingston was to visit family at URI. I chose Scholar's View due to its proximity to campus. From now on I will return due to the warmth and attention to detail of the wonderful hosts, Chris and Renza.
The photos on the listing do not do the space justice. They do not convey how peaceful it is to sit in the garden eating breakfast while watching chipmunks, squirrels, deer, and birds. The picture window lined living room is particularly lovely. The decor is interesting and inviting. There is no lack of comfortable places to sit from multiple choices in the living room, to numerous places in the garden, to a welcome chair in the bedroom that makes putting on socks easier. I do like places to sit.
Scholar's View's location is very convenient to much of Rhode Island. Nearby is Wakefield with gas stations, markets, drugstores, clothing, book, and music stores and a great variety of restaurants. A little farther is Narragansett to the southeast, Wickford to the northeast and Westerly to the southwest--all great places to explore. TF Green is within half an hour, traffic permitting.
Plan on staying a while to have a great home base while you explore this beautiful part of Rhode Island.
