Charming, private cottage in the woods
We spent 4 days here in May visiting family and local sites. The house is charming, full of light and space, quiet and well located for access to Eastern CT, Southern RI and Newport/Jamestown. The property is very private and quiet, and the house is well furnished and comfortable. Kitchen is well furnished, and light switches and controls are helpfully labeled. The shady yard was full of birds in early May - we counted over 30 different species. Communication with the hosts was excellent. We would happily return again in the future.There are a couple of minor things to be aware of - the hostess requests that you bring your own towels and sheets, which could be a bit of a nuisance (although it was not a problem for us) and we didn't learn that until after the booking was made. The shower/tub surround is nearly knee-high, which also wasn't an issue for us but could be if you had mobility issues. The downstairs windows have no curtains or shades, although the lot itself is very private. The fireplace is not operational, which we didn't care about. If you're short, you'll need a stepstool (a small wooden step is provided) to reach the dishware and glasses, which are on rather high shelves over the stovetop and refrigerator.
