Good spot and great little house! Close to everywhere. Nice sized house and good outdoor space. You do have to bring your own linens which was more of a pain but that was made very clear from the beginning. Air conditioning, fans and open windows which was crucial. Would love to come back!

The owners were responsive and continued the legacy of their father to share their home. The book they left to share the story was a good way to start the trip. The rental was extremely clean and they added modern conveniences wherever they could. The Keurig is pot and pod. There are air conditioners andceiling fans which keep the temperature comfortable. The queen and double beds are comfortable. The weight restriction on the bed intended for children should be a little clearer.It's a great area and the walking is terrific.

This cottage was just perfect for my children and I! So cute, clean and cozy! Had a wonderful beach feel to it and was so close to all the beaches. The backyard and yard games were great as well as the deck and patio table for morning coffee and dinner. The he house had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The outdoor shower was perfect for after the beach and my older son loved his own space in the detached room. I’d definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Day Lange

Host profile image
Owners and sisters, Barbara and Katherine spent their childhood in Albany, NY. Barbara now lives Amherst, NH ; Katherine lives in Davidsonville, MD. Although the cottage has been in the family since the late 1960’s, they took sole ownership 16 years ago.

Why they chose this property

The cottage was purchased by our father in the mid 1960's. Originally a small fishing bungalow, it has been refurbished, updated and additions built to accomodate current and future generations of our family. Family members enjoy spending time here when it is not rented especially the July 4th week.

What makes this property unique

The cottage sits on .33 acres which is a rare find in coastal communities of RI. Snug Harbor is a small community of both seasonal and year round homes. Recent land development has seen a boom in large stately homes without compromising the feel of a quaint small community frequented by those who love to antique, boat, fish, swim, soak in the sun and take in the sounds of the beach . Many well known seaside restaurants abound in the area for feasting on fresh local seafood.
