Om overnatningsstedet

Velkommen til det 17. århundrede

Med undtagelse af visse Premium datoer accepterer vi kun reservationer på mindre end 7 dage, når ankomstdatoen er inden for 30 dage, medmindre vi har andre gæster umiddelbart forud for eller efter det ønskede ophold. Vi gør dette, så vi ikke fjerner gæster, der søger ophold på 7 dage eller længere. Du er velkommen til at foretage en forespørgsel alligevel, fordi jeg måske er ved at bestille en anden gæst straks forløber eller efter de datoer, du har anmodet om. Hvis du stadig søger efter overnatningsmuligheder, når det kommer tættere på din ankomst, bedes du kontrollere vores kalender. I mellemtiden, hvis vi har en reservation, der umiddelbart går forud for eller følger din anmodning, kontakter vi dig.
I tilfælde af at vi allerede har en gæst, der tjekker den dag du checker ind eller tjekker på den dag du tjekker, skal vi justere check-in eller check-out tid med en time for at give tilstrækkelig tid for husholdersken.

Bygget i 1677 er Major Thomas Fenner House det ældste hjem i Providence Plantations og en af ​​de få oprindelige "sten-enders", der eksisterer. Den 2400 sqft 4 BD 2 BA hjem sidder på 3 tønder land sidespor til Stone Pond. Når du går op Stony Acre Dr. drej ned den lange indkørsel lige før stopskiltet. Du vil forlade en boligområde i 1970'erne for at opdage en rolig indstilling blandt gamle træer, der bringer dig tilbage til en tid på den tidlige koloniale Rhode Island.

Hjemmet blev bygget et par måneder efter kong Phillips krig, hvor bosættere hjem blev brændt til jorden. Oprindelig bygget som en 2½ historie 18. 5 "x 18. 5" stolpe og bjælkeramme hjem på et feltsten fundament med en massiv sten pejs. Den oprindelige brand værelse, sove kammer, loftsrum og kælder er meget meget, som de blev bygget. I 1700-tallet blev sat tilføjelser til syd og vest, og i 1920'erne en kvist blev sat på at give det en Salt Box stil og en indendørs badeværelse.

Hjemmet fungerede som bolig, domstol, møde hus og værtshus. Google Major Thomas Fenner Bjørn at se hans oprindelige opskrift på øl.

The Home blev indført i National Register of Historic Places i 1990 og er juvelen i tidlige Rhode Island hjem.

Den nuværende ejer bragt hjem tilbage i Fenner Familie i 2006 efter en 90 års pause med den mission at fortsætte dens bevarelse i yderligere 330 år. I 2015 besluttede ejeren at gøre ejendommen til rådighed som en ferie udlejning til at hjælpe det støtte sig selv, og for at give den offentlige og arkitektoniske og historiske lærde større adgang til hjemmet. Hjemmet er indrettet med antikviteter, periode, reproduktion møbler og koloniale i stil. Indretningen giver stemningen i et historisk hjem, samtidig med at det giver gæsterne et behageligt ophold med de moderne bekvemmeligheder (indendørs VVS, fire fladskærms-tv wifi og alarmsystem), der ikke forstyrrer husets historiske natur. Husk på dette hjem kan have været fem stjerne når bygget, men rustikke er en bedre beskrivelse i dag.

Blandt de arkitektoniske vidundere i huset er den massive markstensten skorsten på nordsiden af ​​huset, og derfor er disse boliger kendt som "stenskibe". Loftet vindue til venstre for skorstenen er størrelsen på de originale vinduer, der havde trekantede ruder af glas importeret fra England. Den post og stråle konstruktion er af gamle vækst jomfruelige tømmer. Tjek størrelsen af ​​sommeren (træ stråle løbet pejs) ved at åbne døren til bryggerset og ser op til venstre. Det er også her, hvor kontakten til spotlyset, der oplyser pejsen, er placeret. Pejsen er 10 fod bred og over 5 ½ fod høje. For at åbne og lukke røret skal du trykke op og trække ned metalstangen, som er synlig på højre side af pejsen. Den granit under, foran og sidespor pejs er den oprindelige køkken. Et tungmetal bar kan ses ved at kigge op gennem skorstenen. Dette blev brugt til at hænge gryder til at lave mad samt tre legged potter sidder i kul som den i ryggen venstre side af pejsen. Du kan se den lavvandede bikubeovn i ryggen af ​​skorstenen, der faldt ud af mode som følge af for mange kvinder, der fanger deres kjoler i brand mens man laver mad. De store gulvbjælker, der kan ses i kælderen, blev placeret kun 5 tommer fra hinanden, og disse bjælker får æren for hjemmet, der stadig står i det 4. århundredes år. På loftet kan man se de særprægede ar af tømmer, der er blevet "pit-savet".

Det var en ny engelsk tradition at give nygifte to sukker ahorn til at plante i deres baggård, så de ville have ahornsukker for livet. Maple træerne bag huset var sandsynligvis plantet i 2. halvdel af det 19. århundrede. Pantry ved siden af ​​morgenmad krog er blevet flyttet fra venstre af de vigtigste pejs, men det er den oprindelige 1677 spisekammer.

Under en standardrenteperiode forbeholdes reservationer på mindre end 7 dage kun inden for 30 dage efter belægningen, eller når den straks fortsætter eller følger en eksisterende reservation.

Som du kan forestille dig en hjem i denne alder har nogle funktioner unikke for, hvad gæsterne kan bruges til. Nogle døråbninger er lave, tærskler er høje, trin er stejle, og revner i 1677 brede plankegulve ville gøre høje hæle et mareridt. En 1929 Elmsford gaskomfur er kernen i køkkenet. Kogepladen har en åben pilot, så placer ikke noget brændbart oven på ovnen. Ovnenes knapper er på højre side af ovnen.

We had a fantastic stay at the Fenner home. It was exactly as described and easily held all 10 of us. We all had hot water in our showers too which was a bit of a surprise considering the age of the home! The setup of everything was perfect for a larger crowd. The stove took a tiny bit of getting used to when we cooked but using a vintage stove in a historic home is part of the fun. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in history! We were comfortable and learned a lot.The host was incredibly easy to work with and kind. He answered all of our questions promptly and even helped us understand the layout of the house ahead of time so we could plan out who stayed in which room.

Amazing place to stay, especially if you appreciate history...

Overall, this house is a wonderful place to stay. It has a good location with a Walmart and other conveniences less than 2 miles away. In addition, for a historical house, it is very well kept. The owner was wonderful with contacting me from the beginning and even checking on our family during our stay. Definite 5-stars for the owners. My only caution would be for anyone who has severe allergies, as this is an older home, and because of that, we did take air purifiers with us, which helped a lot for us to be able to stay there because my allergies are extremely severe. But I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on the opportunity to stay in such history. Thank you so much, Fenner family, for opening this up for so many to enjoy.

An amazingly beautiful and historic house!

Everyone enjoyed their stay and the accommodations were fantastic. Every basic needs were supplied, such as bathroom and laundry supplies. The neighborhood was nice and I felt safe taking walks. I have no complaints but I will recommend that you DO NOT LIGHT AN OUTSIDE FIRE IN THE FIRE PIT! The fire department showed up and made us put it out. We were told that it is against city policy. You can light one in the main fireplace. 5 stars on this property!

Great Experience!

We loved staying at The Thomas Fenner House. It was a truly amazing experience staying in this historic home. Love the Glenwood stove and all the fireplaces. We were a group of 7 and came here to celebrate my son and his fiancée. He proposed to her during the trip at Cliff Walk in Newport. The house had all the necessities we needed and we were comfortable during our stay. Host was very communicative and responsive to any inquiries we had during our stay. Great location and easy access to other areas in Rhode Island that we visited during our trip! I would recommend staying at this house for a trip back in time. A good time was had by all and we left with plenty of memories. Thank you. Yvonne and Nick

Staying at the Major Thomas Fenner House was an awesome experience, that made you feel like you were stepping back into the past. The owner was very attentive to any questions I had, and responded within hours if not minutes from when I’d reach out to him with an inquiry. I loved the guided tour book of the house that was located on the coffee table in the living room that the owner out together. I learned from the guide that members of the Fenner family relocated from Rhode Island to Herkimer County…which is where I live!!! The house, inside and out was well taken care of. Once again, awesome experience!!! Thank you for everything!!!

Thank you for preserving this home for overnight guests

I live in Warwick, RI and needed a place for my sister, her husband and 3 children, ages 12-13, to stay for a few days. They were touring New England for their annual summer vacation. This was a perfect place for them to stay to get a more visceral experience of RI and its history. As we opened the key-lock door the smell of over 400 years of wood fires greeted us. I had printed out the informative tour that owner Richard Fenner included on VRBO for his guests. We followed with whetted appetite as we explored nooks and crannies of the house and grounds. My engineer brother-in-law especially enjoyed examining the building structure and exclaimed about the wide width of the floor planks! Nice job on blending the old with contemporary comforts of up to date washer/drye, shower and room AC!

The Perfect New England Experience

Although I was born and raised in Rhode Island, I settled in Texas in 1996 and raised my family there. I was able to bring my fiancé, 5 of my children, a son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and 2 grandchildren on a Rhode Island adventure and wanted to find a place that would accent the trip. I struck gold in choosing the Fenner House! The home transported my family and me back to the 17th and 18th century and each one of us loved the experience! The home was tidy, the rates were very fair, and the colonial interior design was amazing! By the time we packed up to leave, there was a sense sadness we all felt. We made lifelong memories that spanned generations and we wished we could stay longer. There is not a thing I would change and no a single improvement I could recommend. Kudos and thank you to the owners of the Major Thomas Fenner House! I highly recommend a stay to any family looking for a great New England experience!

American History with Great Contemporary Features!

Six family members and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend for my son’s college graduation. It was close enough to the freeway to get us to Providence, Newport and Bristol, but we never heard car traffic. I am an American History nut and walking back in time and into this home was a magical experience. From it huge fireplaces to the original floors, it was easy to imagine family life in the late 1600s. Follow the self-guided tour. It was fascinating. On the other hand, the kitchen and bathrooms were contemporary — I loved the showers with their “rain” showerhead features. Dishwasher, laundry and kitchen appliances were great to have! We were treated to an especially unique event when a momma snapping turtle made its way from the pond to lay eggs near the back patio...leaving only after making sure her eggs were properly covered. If I ever find myself back in the area, I will go back to Major Fenner’s home for another stay, it was a special experience!

Beautiful historic home!

We stayed last week for the occasion of my son's wedding in Rehoboth, MA. This home is beautifully maintained and the owner has preserved its historical history and character while providing the modern conveniences of A/C, bathrooms and kitchen that are updated and easy to use. My husband loved the history of the house (which is there to read) and I loved the 1600 ambiance. We had a total of 5 adults there for a week and a local friend who stayed 2 nights with us and we all had plenty of room. We used the fireplace only once, but what a thrill to light a few logs on the huge fireplace and listen to the crackle! The home was spotless with plenty of cleaning supplies provided so we could tidy up as the week went along. The location was great as we were central to the wedding and rehearsal dinner locations in North Dighton and Rehoboth. We also went to Newport, Providence and Fall River (Pier 52 is a great place for dinner by the water) as we were not far from any of these places. Thank you to the host (who is very responsive to questions) for making this historical home a comfortable place to stay and enjoy! It is a gem in our book! Hope to stay there again when we come back to the area.

Perfect Vacation Home for History & Comfort.

The Fenner House is an absolutely wonderful, comfortable, and fascinating place. It is beautifully decorated in colonial furnishings that reflect its place in history. It smells so lovely, like aged wood and autumn by the hearth – a scent that should be pirated by Yankee Candle. The living room is a great place to relax and contemplate the architecture or life in general. The dining room makes one feel that Paul Revere is going to stop in for a bite. The kitchen is well-appointed with plenty of storage space for your Pop-Tarts and everything one might need to prepare a fabulous meal. The bedrooms are cozy with comfortable beds, great furnishings, and room for all your petticoats, puffy shirts, and wigs. The bathrooms seamlessly blend style with modern creature comforts and feel spa-like. The washer and dryer ensure you will have clean duds after avoiding sharks* at the beach. The AC units keep you cool and comfortable in the heat of summer. There are also nooks and crannies everywhere that would make an English muffin jealous. The outdoor space is lovely – perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air and beautiful landscape. Above all, it’s the history of the house that’s the icing on the cake. You must do the self-guided tour. And if, like me, you have a tween you like to annoy, give your kids a quiz at the end. My son was able to chat with his grandfather about floor joists, sleeping rooms, window panes, governors, Oliver Cromwell, and Native Americans with gusto. We sat in the living room, gazing around, imagining what it was like to live here. And before all the modern conveniences were installed that we take for granted today. Cranston is an easy drive to Boston, Newport, Providence, and Cape Code. Mr. Fenner was a pleasure to work with and answered all questions in a timely manner. *We didn’t know Cape Cod = seal (and therefore great white shark) hot-spot. How exciting to spot a purple shark flag after pahking the cah, and enjoy the show of seals all day. There was a shark sighting at our location. A man was swimming well past where the seals were cruising along and refused the lifeguard’s repeated pleas that he return to shallower waters. Lucky for him he did not get chomped. Cue lesson to the children about whether or not certain individuals improve the gene pool. My favorite feature of all? Once home I ordered myself my own tricorn hat. We could all use a little more colonial spirit these days.

Great home but neighborhood issues

The house was amazing. Old vintage and just a beautiful piece of history. No better place to celebrate our great uncles 100th birthday. But if you plan on staying beware the neighbors. So here we go. When we arrived there was a nice fire pit, we were asked to keep the fires small and we did. However anything bigger then a match was an issue with the lady next door. It rained alot so we only had 3 small fires to make smores and just talk. The neighbor was not happy about this. So one day we went out and when we returned the fire pit was gone. The owner apparently sent someone over to fill in the pit and planted a small shrub. I was quite disappointed that i was not advised of this. It was a rental positive for us. But anyway the neighbor was complaining so much i gather this was a fix for her constant complaining. The owner said the cops were called. We never had any contact with police. On july 4th the neighborhood was explosive with fireworks. It was amazing and a beautiful site. Back to the neighbor. We were cooking on the grill on the opposite side of the yard near the barn far from nosey nelly the neighbor. But she still called the fire department on us. Yes the fire department showed up came in and we spoke. The fire lieutenant and his crew were very very upset that they were called when we were simply cooking on a grill. We offered food to the firemen and invited them back later if they got hungry. The fire department went to the neighbor's house and advised her if she called them again for this nonsense she would receive a 500.00 fine from the city for every call. The fire department told me this was there 10th call in 3 weeks from this lady. I dont think there will be an 11th call. Also the other neighbors dog isabel like to come over and poop 2 or 3 times a day. I got a little tired if picking up after isabel. So if you want to stay in an amazing piece of history this is the house for you. I cant say enough about this amazing home. But the neighbor will be a major issue. So keep noise down and beaware when cooking on the grill. But i dont thing the fire department will be called again.

I do have a neighbor with lung cancer and COPD so I have asked to keep fires in the firepit low only for cooking. At least one of the fires Bradford had was a bonfire. After that I told him no more fires or fireworks. He had another fire so I sent my landscaper over to fill in the firepit and my new policy is no more open fires. Regarding the neighbors dog. I spoke to the neighbor and she told me the dog had gotten into my yard briefly one time, but did not do his "business" there. On the other hand the guest had a dog there for his whole stay and another dog at times, despite my "no pets" policy. We have never had an issue with dog poop, so I can only guess which dog was responsible. It's true the neighbors did complain when on the 4th of July the guest had 60 people over with at least 11 cars parked on my lawn, set up three tents and shot off fireworks until the whole neighborhood was smoked in. The police department confirmed with me that they were called to the property as well as fire department two other times.

Wow

Great communication with Richard during this entire process. The property is a history lesson in and of itself - very surreal for my family. We enjoyed our stay, and definitely recommend this property to all cultures of people to take in all the intricate details of the property, and Rhode Island's historic past.

A Step Back in Time

This property is amazing. It’s such an old building, but it’s kept in phenomenal shape. The only deterrent would be the smokiness in the air from the fireplace, if you have asthma it may cause some breathing issues for sure. Other than that though there is nothing negative I can say about the place. The property is huge and offers plenty of space to spread out — both inside AND out! The outdoor area was a highlight for our group especially. Richard was great with answering any questions we had leading up to our check-in. It’s also within 20-30mins of the beaches! I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away in Rhode Island.

Charming experience!

We came from Texas and enjoyed our visit to the Fenner house. Plenty of space for our whole family. We enjoyed learning about the history of the house and the area. Very charming experience-

historical home

I booked this property because of the history of the property. I wanted a unique experience outside standard hotel rooms. What a treat. Everyone in my family thoroughly enjoyed the home. We walked around the inside of the home and discovered something new every time. The floors are original from late 1600's so if this is not your scene - I wouldn't recommend this property. But if you have an appreciation for things still around for over 300 plus years (including trees in the backyard) I would highly recommend this property. We had my grandson (who is 10 months old and very curious) with us and had to watch him very carefully while crawling on the floor because of the uneven floor boards but we put a large blanket on the floor and he was just fine. The hosts were so accommodating to our needs and communication was excellent. Thank you Richard for opening your family home and heritage to us.

Lots of space and interesting place!

We enjoyed our stay in this historic home. We had plenty of space for our group of 6. The instructions to enter and lock the house we very clear. Communication with and instructions from the host were excellent. We had no complaints other than a few things could have been cleaner. We had an odd experience with a neighbor yelling “no fires” while we were simply walking around exploring the yard. We weren't planning to make a fire, as that was in the instructions for the house. Overall our experience was great. The description is very clear that this house has it’s idiosyncrasies that come with an old, historic home. We found the house charming and interesting. It was a step back in time, while at the same time a comfortable stay.

Tiffany Was the "no fires" neighbor from the side in back of the barn or from behind the pine trees? What areas did you find that needed to be cleaner? Thanks Richard

Om værten

Vært: Richard Arthur Fenner

Værtens profilbillede
Richard and Kathleen are originally East Coasters. Richard from New England and Kathy from Delaware. They are living in Southern CA now and work in residential Real Estate. They have one handsome son living and working in London in the political/economics field

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

Richard has been involved in genealogy for a number of years which led to him learning of the existance of the Major Thomas Fenner House built by his 7th great grandfather Major Thomas and his father Capt. Arthur. He contacted the owners and let them know if they were ever to sell he would be interested. Even though the Home is on the Registry of Historic Places that does not provide protection. At the time the owner's were ready to sell there was also a developer looking to buy the property and build a condo complex in place of the House. The owner's picked a great time to sell to which means Richard picked a bad time to buy ... the peak of the Real Estate market in 2006. Anyway ... enough whining. He loves the House and hope you do too.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

Absorb the ambience of living in the 1600s, but with modern bathrooms and kitchen. Spring in Rhode Island is a time of reawakening with trees budding, flowers emerging and bears awakening from their dens (just kidding). The summer months are generally delightful particularly when you have five A/C units for the occasional too hot and humid days. Rhode Island shows its brightest colors in October. Western and northern Rhode Island are heavily wooded. Blackstone Valley region includes the towns of Pawtucket, home of Slater Mill, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America. The Blackstone Valley Explorer river boat offers trips on the river into mid-October. Beautiful foliage will be on display at Roger Williams Park and Zoo in Providence; and at Blithewold Mansion & Gardens in Bristol. In South County, a great scenic drive is Route 1 and Route 1A from Westerly to Wickford. Winters in Rhode Island are crisp and clear with a fair amount of snow. Luckily we have a plowing service to keep access to the property open at all times and a 2015 gas heating system with dual zone NEST thermostats to keep you comfortable when indoors.
