Beautiful Home!

We absolutely loved staying at this home! This house is beautiful and the wide water views were amazing! There are so many pretty birds from song birds to blue jays to egrets and blue herons. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, blankets, well stocked kitchen, etc. It was like staying with family! We loved the story behind the house and the loving couple that owned it.

Simply Sublime

A fantastic stay from the initial Vrbo request to check-out from the property. The property owner, Karen, was wonderful to work with when answering questions about mobility features as well as when we had an lockout situation. Special thanks to her property manager, Jenn, who helped us gain access! The property is as advertised, situated on the Pettaquamscutt River which is beautiful to arise to and view the sunset. Overall, the property is well-maintained, stocked fir every need, and in proximity to Newport, Jamestown & plenty of restaurants. While the loft is a bit difficult to walk (I’m 5’9”), we enjoyed the house & riverfront views.

Beautiful River View

This home is beautiful and exceptional and its appointments. There are so many different seating areas that you would be hard-pressed not to find your comfy spot. The beds were soft and comfortable. If you’re looking for a firmer mattress, this would not it. We visited with family and enjoyed our day trips to Newport Block Island and local restaurants. We would definitely rent this property again. We also had the pleasure of watching the URI rowing teams practice practice on the river. It was fun!

Another fantastic stay!

We first stayed here in summer 2022 and this summer returned for a 3 week stay. It was even better this time! Beautiful landscaping improvements made it an even more attractive location. This home is so well equipped and comfortable. Whether looking out at the water from inside or from a seat on the dock, the views are mesmerizing. It’s a great place to kayak and soak up the sun, and it is close to everything! The property owner is wonderful and responsive. We will definitely return for a third visit in the future!

Comfortable, Clean with Great View

One of the best properties I have stayed at during my son’s 4 years at URI. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Karen is a great host. She’s quick to respond to any inquiries and went out of her way to make sure our stay was great. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Living room is spacious and has great view of the river. Backyard had 5 Adirondack chairs and patio furnitures was there for plenty of seating and great view of the water. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Do not hesitate to stay at Karen’s property.

We rented this property for my dad‘s 80th birthday celebration. We had a wonderful time! The property is beautifully clean, and exactly as listed. We enjoyed using the kayaks, and sitting out on the deck in the evenings. Karen was a wonderful host, and I would definitely go back again!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Manning

My great uncle built this home as a summer cottage when he emigrated from Sweden in the 1940's. It became my family's summer home, and now belongs to my sister, brother and I. It has undergone several renovations to expand, update, and maximize the magnificent view of the Pettaquamscutt Lake and the Narrow River.

Why they chose this property

We have loved this property as a summer destination for 3 generations. We have cherished memories of boating, kayaking, birding, swimming, and cook outs, clam bakes, and cocktails overlooking the water. Come visit and create your own memories.

What makes this property unique

Bring your own boat or use our 2 kayaks and enjoy the private dock. The neighborhood beach is two houses away. Enjoy the beautiful view of nature from the living room panoramic windows. Kayak north to the estuary, or south to the Atlantic Ocean.
