About this property

Woodbine Cottage-Perfect for large families or group of friends. Relax. Go to the Beach. Eat. Drink. We are centrally located. Just a short walk to beaches and restaurants and all attractions.

Big discounts for 7 days or more. Arriving on a weekday is usually the best deal. If you can do a week, message me and we can find the best savings.

The Victorian Mansion featured is located in downtown Newport with just a short walk to the mansions, Thames Street, Easton's Beach or Cliff Walk. Just one block off Bellevue Ave, we are located in the old historic hill of Newport. You will be right in the center of the island's major attractions. If you are a history buff, nature lover, gardener or antiques, you will appreciate this home for its beauty and sophistication. The house has an incredible history as being the home of George Champlin Mason (Newport's first architect), the home to the Brown and Vanderbilt families, as a working guesthouse known as Architects Inn for nearly 50 years, and now it is available for rental to you and your family. It is great for large groups who need multiple bathrooms and bedrooms. Please inquire with your group size and sleeping situation so we can best determine if this house would work for you.

Many people ask about chef services for the property for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Since you have a kitchen, many people bring a private chef or we can arrange for a private chef to come in to cook for you so you can recreate the historic feeling of a Newport gilded mansion with servants or the old time bed and breakfast feeling just for you and your family. If you want a recommendation, please have ready any allergies or dietary restrictions and how many meals the chef will do and what the menu would be. Depending on the scale we might recommend a caterer versus a private chef depending on what kind of stay you are looking to have. You pay them directly and will deal with the final negotiations however, if you let me know what you are looking for, I can recommend which company would be best to help you.

'The house is big enough to get lost in' say many of our guests.

The porch

We rented the Inn for our friends sons wedding at Castle Inn. We are all HS friends from the sixties. It was perfection. We spent all our time on the timeless porch when we weren’t scheduled. It was heaven on earth. ♥️♥️♥️

Why they chose this property

I chose Newport to live because it the only place in the world that has everything. It is an island in New England so it has four seasons but the seasons are mild. Newport is a busy, bustling city in the summer time but in the winter it is a quaint New England village. Rhode Island has over 400 miles of pure sand beaches with pristine, clean waters. You will see the air is fresh and the sounds are freshing. Newport is a fantastic walking and biking city. For years when I first moved here, I never even owned a car. I just walked everywhere because it was so easy. The locals range from your average, boat-builder 'Joe' to the yuppy, billionaire 'Winston'. The conversations you will have when you sit down at the docks or in one of the many local bars is just unbelievable. It feels like a European town. You will notice how many people are trim and healthy. People dress nicely and treat everyone with respect. Newport is out of this world.

What makes this property unique

The greatest thing is our location is perfect. You can ask anyone who lives in Newport and they will all say that our neighborhood is the most ideal location. It is a relaxing, safe, quiet residential street filled with big, old, early Victorian mansions, yet it is an easy walk to either side of the island. We are located right in the center of Newport. In a jiffy, I can walk to the beach for a healthy jog on Cliffwalk in the morning or I can just as quickly stroll down to Thames Street for a delicous dinner at a wine bar. It is safe and secure so it comfortable to walk home at night from the nightclubs and bars.
The house itself is a masterpiece. It is 99% genuine antiques from the Gilden Age of Newport. The architect built it as a summer home so it requires very little air conditioning in the summer to keep it comfortable. The bannisters and crown moldings are just exquiste. The rooms are terrific. The yard is completely screened in with natural scrubs and trees providing a private space to decompress. You will feel so at home when you are here, sipping wine on the verandah watching the birds, rabbits and squirrels.
