About this property

Rally Point I Soaring Timber Frame Estate I Beaches, Trails, Newport

Rally Point isn't just a place to sleep — it's a place where everyone comes together. Named for exactly that reason, this extraordinary 4-bedroom timber frame estate on Aquidneck Island has hosted family reunions, milestone birthdays, girls' weekends, and corporate retreats. When people arrive here, they don't want to leave.


The Home:
The moment you step inside, the soaring post-and-beam great room takes your breath away. Hand-hewn timber frames rise 24 feet to a cathedral ceiling, flanked by twin blue sofas and anchored by a stone fireplace. This is the heart of Rally Point — the room where every gathering ends up, every evening, without fail.

Four beautifully appointed bedrooms sleep up to 10 guests comfortably, each with its own AC unit and a set of fresh towels waiting. Every detail has been considered: the kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooking, the wet bar is stocked with barware and houses an espresso machine and blender, and the dining room seats the whole group under candlelight every night.

The Outdoors:
Step outside to a wraparound deck overlooking lush private grounds. Fire up the gas grill for dinner, gather around the firepit as the stars come out, or take out the bikes and pedal down to the Sakonnet Greenway Trail — the trailhead is literally steps from the front gate. Second and Third Beaches are a five-minute drive.

The Location:
Set on a quiet private road along a residential stretch of Mitchells Lane in Middletown, Rally Point sits on more than two acres of beautifully manicured grounds offering exceptional privacy and space to unwind. Peaceful and secluded, yet just minutes from everything Newport has to offer — the Cliff Walk, the mansions, the wharves, the polo grounds, and Castle Hill Inn are all within a short drive. Newport Vineyards is just 3 minutes away, while Sweet Berry Farm, known for its fresh produce, cheeses, and café, is less than a mile down the road.

The Details:
High-speed WiFi throughout. Sonos sound system in the main living areas with AirPlay 2 support — just tap the AirPlay icon on your iPhone and start playing. Smart TVs in every room. USB charging at every bedside. The whole house feels like a high-end boutique inn, because that is exactly the standard we hold it to.


We manage Rally Point ourselves and take genuine pride in every stay. You'll find awelcome gift waiting on arrival. If there is anything you need before or during your stay, we are always just a message away. We hope Rally Point becomes your annual tradition.

Our Home is a true upscale and appointed home designed and built for our family to enjoy family moments in a special part of the world. Our neighbors are important to us and assuring that the property is only visited by appreciative and respectful guests is our number 1 priority outside of safety. We take hosting guests very seriously and want to make sure guests have the best experience but must insist that our guests 100% respect the Middletown ordinances and peace and serenity that the area affords.

100% this was a fantastic stay!! This house had everything we needed, and the photos don’t do it justice. Our group was already discussing coming back next year for a reunion. Tara was super responsive from the moment I booked the stay, and made the check-in process as smooth as possible. If you’re planning on coming to Newport, you have to stay at this house!!

We loved the condo and the location. The upstairs neighbors were noisy, but nothing you could do about that. We loved the location so close to everything, but a great quiet area. We would come back and recommend to friends.

The property is lovely! Nothing is overlooked - Tara thought of everything. The home and its grounds anre immaculate, quiet and exactly what we wanted for a girls’ weekend. Super close to Newport and all the activities but far enough for quiet and solitude when we returned to house. Highly recommend going to a polo match - highlight of the weekend!

Excellent place to stay! The house was clean, well stocked and relaxing. There are 3 extremely spacious bedrooms and an additional 2 smaller ones which worked perfectly for our family. We had 1 slight issue (tripped the breaker) and when I messaged the host asking for assistance locating the GFI, they responded immediately. I strongly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the area.

MDW at Rally Point

We stayed at Rally Point and it was the perfect space for 4 couples plus a toddler and a baby. The location couldn't be more convenient - just a few min from Newport. The kitchen is well stocked and the home is spotlessly clean.

Beautiful New England oasis

Beautiful, clean, and relaxing home. Even better than the pictures! It was perfect for a girls weekend with the best of both worlds - easy access to Newport plus a beautiful house with plenty of space to enjoy. We loved having lots of outdoor space from the porch to the big backyard with the basketball court. They even had bikes to borrow. Definitely recommend!!

We all absolutely loved the property, inside and out! So comfortable and pretty. Had a great kitchen with everything you could possibly want. The beds were super comfy. And when we asked our host about a crock pot for cooking, a brand new one was delivered within a couple of hours. We grilled outdoors and enjoyed our dinner out on the deck. House located very close to Second Beach (gorgeous) and we enjoyed walks on nearby trails. We were only about 15 minutes from Newport, so we took full advantage of that. Such a fun stay!! My husband and I already talking about returning next year.
