Chip was a very gracious host. My husband and I just stayed a week with him and had a wonderful time. His home is priceless and I enjoyed so very much just wondering around the house looking at all of his interesting things. Chip gave us excellent recommendations to local restaurants and places of interest to us. I ask him a million questions and his responses were wonderful! Of course I have to mention that his food was excellent and we now know how to make French pressed coffee. He will be my choice to stay with when I return to Rhode Island!
