Our updated, historic multi-family is centrally located in downtown Bristol, Rhode Island. It is a side-by-side, 2 bed 1 bath townhouse that accommodates 4 people on two queen beds. A short walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the harbor and a short drive to nearby beaches and parks makes this the perfect summer getaway. We are steps away from the longest standing 4th of July Parade route. Come enjoy the Fall foliage once the summer heat has left. We are less than a mile from the Roger Williams University campus.
Our historic and charming, multi-family was built in the early 1800s and still has a historic feel to it with crooked doors and uneven floors, but that is what gives it charm. Within its historic bones, we have added modern amenities to make sure your stay feels comfortable, cozy, and up to today's standards.
This is a two-story townhome located in the heart of Bristol. The first floor of the home features a full dining room; a living room with a convertible couch and flatscreen tv with smart capabilities; a bathroom with standup shower including towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hairdryer, iron, washer and dryer; a full kitchen including cookware, utensils, sink, stove/oven, toaster, full fridge, coffee maker, French press, and microwave. On the second floor there are two bedrooms with queen beds, A/C in windows (for summer), remote heating units (for winter), and nightstands. Due to the age of the house, closets were not a necessity in the old days, so our bedrooms include dressers and a large communal hanging closet at the top of the stairs. All amenities you could need for your stay are available for use.
The backyard is a communal space with the attached townhouse complete with separate BBQ, sitting area, and firepit. Access to the backyard is through a side door in the living area.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We were in town for a wedding and was a perfect place for 2 of our adult children toStay, convenient downtown location, wasy walk to several pubs, restaurants and ferry.
Beautiful place right next to downtown. an easy walk to all the good restaurants. The beds and pillows are super comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked.
This place was great. Easy walk to all the good shops and restaurants in town. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked (good coffee too) and the wifi was fast. I'd happily stay there again.
Great home minutes to ships and restaurants. Host was great and allowed us to check in a few hours earlier due to changes in our plans. Lots of room for my husband and I to spread out! Great stay. Will come against n!
Easy check in, great communication and comfortable spot! It was warm when we arrived but the AC’s cooled it down SUPER quick. We were close to everything and were able to walk to all events in town for a friend’s wedding. Would definitely stay again!!
We booked two days. The host was lovely, however when I saw the steep stairs to the bedrooms and the only bathroom on the first floor, for safety reasons we left. Anyone with any mobility issue should not stay here. We couldn’t tell where the bathroom was from the pictures, and I should have asked in retrospect
We enjoyed our stay at the Château which had everything we needed in the home. And the neighborhood (downtown Bristol) is lovely with shops and playgrounds, restaurants and the waterfront in walking distance.
I flew back into town for a quick weekend to watch my Roger Williams roommate get married! This stay was amazing, host was extremely responsive, home was beautiful and very well maintained! I loved the location as it had easy walkable access to anything I needed downtown. Will stay again!
The property is incredibly convenient to downtown Bristol and Bristol town common. There were a few hot days that the air conditioning units handled easily. The house is charming and cozy and provided enough space for us and our teenagers. Street parking was never an issue.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025
About the host

I am a transplant from California. I moved here in 2023 along with my boyfriend who grew up in Bristol. After moving back into the area, we acquired an investment property. We have enjoyed fixing the place up and renting it out to people from all over the world.
Why they chose this property
We love the proximity to downtown and all there is to do here.
