Cottage 29 was the perfect spot to spend my birthday retreat. It is in a safe, quiet location, but close to Newport, Providence, other cute towns, as well as shops and good restaurants. What sets it apart is its beautiful design and the attention that the owner pays to all of her guests. I was greeted with cupcakes, cheese, fruit and warm apple cider--and great music playing. It blew me away and set an awesome tone for the week ahead. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials, and the linens are top notch. One day when it snowed, the owner proactively sent over her son to do some shoveling. Most people might not consider a trip north during the winter the ideal, but if you're looking for a lovely location and lots to see and do in the surrounding area, I cannot recommend this cozy cottage enough. It was everything I was looking for and more--and hard to leave. Thank you Sharon for a memorable stay!
