About this property

Black Rock Farm. Renovated farmhouse & Barn both w/ AC, 2.6 acres, swimming hole

Welcome to Black Rock Farm! This recently renovated (2021/2022) iconic 1800's Block Island farm is just across the street from the Island’s first conservancy purchase, Rodman’s Hollow, and is situated on 2.6 acres. The property has a main house and a finished barn with upstairs living space. Appointed with today’s amenities, including AC/heat in both the house and the barn, an expansive yard, vegetable, herb, and flower gardens, and a spring fed swimming & fishing pond.

You will feel right at home the moment you enter the foyer, which leads to an eat-in kitchen and dining/living rooms. The large living room with wood-burning fireplace offers great views of the Rodman's Hollow Preserve and the Atlantic Ocean. From the kitchen, french doors open to the inviting patio. The dining room opens to a comfortable family room with wood fired stove, perfect for movie nights. There is also a powder room off the foyer.

The first floor master bedroom has a king size bed and updated master bathroom. The second floor hosts three additional bedrooms (one queen, one double, one with two doubles), a full bathroom with tub, and a half bathroom and one cozy room (the Hobbit Hole) with single bed.

The separate barn comes complete with a large living/dining room and kitchen. In 2022, we updated the ground floor to include a kitchen area, living space, and ping pong table. With the barn doors open, your family will have the perfect indoor outdoor entertaining space. The barn has a small full bathroom with shower, a bedroom with a queen bed, and a charming loft area with three single beds. The barn is close enough for kids and parents to feel comfortable, but also provides everyone their own space.

Both the house and the barn have washers/dryers and outdoor showers.

Amenities include television, wifi, air conditioning, kayaks, tons of lawn games, and an outdoor gas grill. It's a perfect rental for a large families, or for multiple families who want to vacation together. (Well behaved dogs will be considered for an additional pet fee.)

Help yourself to flowers, vegetables, and herbs growing in the garden, and enjoy our kayaks on the pond!

The entrance to Rodman's Hollow, with walking and hiking paths down to the beach, is directly across the street from our home, as is access to Greenway walking trails.

Please note, the barn space is not available after October 20th. The barn reopens in early to mid April.

And for the best way to get to all of Block Islands amazing beaches is a 2025 Evolution Maverick, 6 person golf cart available for guests for an additional charge.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn H Lee

Host profile image
We are two cousins who own this home together with our husbands. We love getting to spend time on Block Island together with our families and friends - a great place to reunite. We've included a photo of a few of our younger family members at Painted Rock.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property at first sight. Throughout the day you can see the sun rise, set, catch a glimpse of the ocean beyond the nature preserve across the street, swim or kayak in the pond, play lawn games, check out what's growing or flowering in the garden, or take a nap in one of the hammocks. It's in the middle of the Greenway trails and across the street from Rodmans Hollow for those who like to hike, while still being just a short drive to Old and New Harbors.

What makes this property unique

We provide everything - linens, towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, outdoor and indoor games, kayaks, fully stocked kitchens and bathrooms!
