Another amazing stay!

This is my second time staying at this property and it was another perfect trip! The location could not be better and the house itself is wonderful - fully stocked kitchen, great outdoor space (with animals!) and ample parking. We love that the cottage is pet friendly as well :) Can't wait to return again!

Unclean place and rude property owner

Upon first arrival, the property seemed fine. However as we used the utilities, we realized how unclean the place was. There was a pile of sand/dirt in the shower, the towels smelled of mold, there were bugs everywhere (gnats, flies, spiders, other bugs), the sheets had clearly not been washed as there was hair in the beds, the couches had crumbs on them, the pillows were stained, and there was dust and cobwebs all over. If you don't mind some dirt and bugs, then this is a great place to lodge. Not to mention the shower didn’t have an adequate shower curtain which led the water to leak onto the floor of the bathroom, which then leaked onto the first floor. The place is clearly not well constructed. We complained to VRBO who contacted the owner, and he was rude and unhelpful. He claimed we didn’t have “legitimate complaints” and that the place was “immaculate” which was clearly untrue. He stated that a cleaning company came by and cleaned everything and washed the linens within 45 minutes of our complaint. I’ll let you decide how believable that is. We left after one night and the owner refused to refund us for the second unused night. He also insinuated we were trying to scam him which is extremely unprofessional. VRBO was of little help as well.

Amazing Stay in Rhode Island!

What an amazing property! The cottage itself is gorgeous and fully equipped with everything you may need for a stay. And the surrounding land is stunning -- the outdoor patio is adorable and so are the animals! My only regret is not being able to stay longer.

Great stay!

We had a great stay! Dean and Nancy were very responsive and helpful! Their cottage was perfect for our family as we were there to watch our son play college summer baseball. It was quiet and secluded yet close to Old Mountain field and to the beach, and about a half hour from Newport. The cottage is furnished nicely and was equipped with everything we needed, from pots and pans to beach chairs!

Country getaway

This quiet home offers beachy RI-style New England charm on a country road. The cottage is set behind the host’s home, but still offers a lot of privacy with your own backyard area that overlooks a beautiful field filled with milkweed, and thus butterflies. The property also features chickens and other lovely farm animals. The cabin was well stocked with bedding, bath, and kitchenwares. They provide laundry room access and even beach furniture! This is the perfect stay if you want to be a short ride from the beach, while enjoying a little country seclusion. The hosts are so flexible and responsive as well.

Donkeys, cats and geese, oh my!

Dean’s place was peaceful and quiet. Very convenient location, 10 mins from the beach. We enjoyed the adorable animals; donkey, mule, geese and friendly cats each day. As a family of 3, the cottage was a good size, might be a little small for a larger family.

Relocation atopover

Relocating to Boston from DC with my two mid-sized dogs. Have family in Wakefield and Narragansett so wanted to stop here for a week before fully committing to a place up near the city. Daughter was with me for a few nights. Place was PERFECT. Exactly what we needed. Great for the dogs. Far enough off the road I didn’t have to worry about them mixing with the cars too much. Beautiful… morning coffee on the back deck…threw the frisbee in the afternoon. Hiking trails and parks nearby. Easy access to dog beach a few miles away, or Narragansett beach. And all the accouterments of home. Dean and Nancy are super and easy to work with. Highly recommend from anything to a romantic getaway for two, or a beach week for a small family with a pet. Or anything in between.

Perfect!!

This was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever booked! The cottage was extremely clean and beautifully decorated and the location was perfect for us to get some peace and quiet after a long day of crowds. Our favorite place was the back deck where we got a kick out of watching the geese, donkeys and cats that we named Stanley (black one) and Noah (orange one). The owners Dean and Nancy were very nice and very responsive to questions and made it known that if we needed anything to just ask. I would recommend this little paradise to anyone who is looking for a place in this area! Thank you Dean and Nancy for the wonderful experience!

Cute spot

I stayed in July with my family of four. That included little boys. They had a great time meeting the donkeys. The hosts were friendly and inviting and the property was clean and tidy. There are gooses on the property that can get a little noisy but they didn't bother me very much. The cabin is a short drive to the major beaches. Although I found the state beaches easier to access than the town beach due to parking and suggest going in the morning as opposed to waiting for the afternoon. Overall I would highly recommend this property. We had a great time. It's a super cute little cabin.

for a relaxing vacation close to everything

We had a great week at Dean's. The house is just like the pictures. Perfect for a family stay. Very well equipped and the garden is large and safe for children. The donkeys will keep the kids happy while you lounge on the patio. The village of Wakefield is really charming and has everything we need within a 10 minute drive. The beaches are 15 minutes away and are superb. For paddle boarders, there's a calm lake just a 2-minute drive away. Newport is a beautiful town 30 minutes away. We loved our stay and will return one day! Dean is very kind and helpful and always responds quickly if we have any questions. Thanks again for everything Dean. Emma misses Jake and Duke very much

Relaxing and Quiet

Set back from the road and the main house, the cottage is the perfect getaway for those of us who want to be close to beaches, restaurants and other attractions but don’t want the traffic or noise. The porch at the back of the house overlooks a large field and woods, perfect for relaxing and looking at natural surroundings rather than buildings . Great well supplied kitchen. Watch the video for an accurate view of the house and property. Dean,the owner, did not just slap together a rental house. The genuine hardwood floors and oak beams add to the “homeliness” and he is always available. A great location, secluded but close to everything you need.

Newport getaway

Nancy and Deans cottage was a wonderful place to stay during our recent Rhode Island vacation. The detached cottage has a great layout and was cozy while at the same time allowing our family to stretch out. The kids loved greeting the donkeys and the geese in the morning and generally exploring the grounds. And the location close to Wakefield, several beaches and Newport was a big plus. Our only issue was that it seemed like the cottage was hurriedly cleaned after the previous stay and we found it a little rough around the edges when it came to clean counters, etc. Not that it was dirty, just not as crisp as we have experienced at other stays. Nancy and Dean were very hospitable however and let us know they were around if we needed anything, but also giving us full privacy during our stay. We would certainly come back and look forward to an opportunity to do so.

Long weekend in Wakefield

I would had given this place a 10! The house is so nice I love the post and beam the farm animals are cute and the location was fine! This house sits behind the property owners home but there is plenty of privacy. The house looked tidy but the kitchen was not clean. The stove top was filthy as well as the coffee pot and the sink. First night there I cleaned the entire kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with bare essentials with no pantry items just some spices. A/c units would not work. I don’t know why? The main bed was foam mattress on a metal frame.. not for me and the other bed handmade with mattress on a sheet of plywood. No sofa to watch TV just an uncomfortable futon. So for us is was not cozy and comfy. In conclusion it would be perfect with some comfy furniture and beds. We decided to spend the second night at home!
