Location: Narragansett, Rhode Island, USA (Less than 10 minutes to Narragansett Bay and ocean beaches)
Accommodations: Home, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths (Sleeps 5)
This waterfront vacation home is located on the peaceful shores of Indian Lake--a pristine 200 acre freshwater lake, less than 10 minutes from Narragansett Pier and the state's best ocean beaches. Swim, kayak, and fish from your front yard! The lake warms up earlier than the ocean and the water stays warm into early fall.
Perfect for families, two couples (each has their own private bathroom), or as a romatic get-away for a couple that desires privacy.
Large windows overlooking the lake, cathedral ceilings and numerous skylights create an interior that is both bright and cheery. Because this is our second home, we keep everything immaculate and in perfect order. In addition to the great room, there is a large family room with sliding doors to the deck overlooking the water, 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a fully equipped kitchen, and a laundry. The family room, which can be closed off from the great room, has a double-bed futon couch.
Included are 4 kayaks for your use on the lake. In addition, there are lots of noodles and floats to ensure that your family has fun on the water. A two minute stroll brings you to the community’s sandy beach (with a floating raft), the tot lot, and basketball court. Just past our house the quiet country road turns to dirt. Indian Lake is serene because RI does not permit jet skis or motors over 10 h.p. on it.
The Lake House is located in a small, quiet community of private homes known as Indian Lake Shores. Although quite removed from the hustle and bustle of town, everything you need is nearby. Several large grocery stores and the many other shops of Wakefield and Narragansett are only 5 minutes away.
The surrounding area is known as South County, which Money Magazine described as on of the best spots to vacation because of its less crowded beaches and many tourist attractions. Narragansett town beach, Scarborough, Sand Hill Cove, and Salty Brine are some of the many close-by ocean beaches. You can purchase fresh lobsters and seafood from the fishing boats in Galilee, stroll around the Pt. Judith lighthouse, go deep sea fishing or out on a whale watching excursion. Native sweet corn and other fresh produce are available at many farm stands and farmers' markets. For the kids (or the young at heart) there are mini golf courses, bumper boats, and go-carts nearby. For bigger 'kids' there are eleven 18-hole golf courses in South County in addition to other smaller courses and driving ranges. A waterslide park is 20 minutes away in Misquamicut. If you love history, there are many colonial houses to tour and antique stores for shopping. The mansions of Newport and the famous cliff walk are also an easy 20 minute drive. The natural beauty of southern RI will take your breath away. From the ocean to the bay and the many ponds, lakes, and streams there is water everywhere!
The Lake House is a great waterfront vacation rental in any season. Come to the lake in the spring and enjoy the water when the ocean is too cold. September and October are also special times in southern RI. Indian Lake is full of wildlife as migrating birds stop on their way to winter feeding grounds. While days are usually mild, the cool autumn nights paint the leaves red, yellow, and orange and the lake reflects the riot of color that surrounds it. A woodstove with gas logs in the greatroom will keep you cozy warm as you sip your mulled cider. Of course, there is a full heating system to keep you toasty if you visit in winter to go skating on the lake.
