About this property

Uncover rich American history and coastal charm when you stay with us!

Located at the historic Head of the Westport River this luxurious stay is steps away from the Country Store for treats and treasures, the Watershed Headquarters with interactive displays and Osprey Kayak next door to experience the river for yourself.
It is an easy stroll to Mill Pond Conservation area to enjoy a rambling waterfall.
Just 6 minutes to the Central Village 14 min to Horseneck Beach, same distance to the Harbor.
The Space:
The beautifully renovated historic home offers exceptional private space for your vacation stay. Enter this federal style home to a mid century art gallery. The open sunny living and dining room boasts a mix of Cape and local art accenting a creative mix of contemporary and period furnishings.
There are no kirchen facilities but your stay is enhanced by offering a micro, toaster oven, refrigerator with water and a beverage station with filtered water, coffee and teas.
Newly renovated first floor bath features a fully tiled walk in rain shower, heated floors and towel bar. What's better than wrapping yourself in a warm towel while prepping for the day or event with a light-up fog-free mirror!
You will rest soundly in the 2nd-floor bedroom with a king-size Tempurpedic bed outfitted with fresh laundered and pressed linen sheets, soft cotton quilt and blanket. A cozy chenille chair for a restful reading spot.

So many people are giving such great reviews of breakfast and I enjoy brightening the morning! When we are here and can offer this free service, we message our guests to let them know when a tray will be put out and ask about allergies.

Guest access
This is a small historic river village located in a country setting. Summer parking is on the street with plenty of space available or an alternative can be provided.
Other things to note
Adventurous walks and hiking abound in Westport. We can provide a conservation area trail guide and map of the best locations for beach access and area amenities.

Wonderful historic property and the gardens at the front made it look like a story book entrance. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Laurie was easy to communicate with. We enjoyed the eclectic mix of antiques, original artwork, and MCM furnishings. Would definitely stay here again. Laurie went above and beyond in making this a wonderful stay.

Wonderful!

Lovely stay! So many special things about this place - the gardens, the art, the great mirror in the bathroom that I am having my husband track down because I want one, the back deck for watching the many birds. And of course, the magically appearing breakfast was SUCH A TREAT!!!We visited Newport, did the cliff walk and toured a couple mansions. Had lobster rolls at Anthony's Seafood in Middletown and our fill of fresh oysters, clams, and tuna a couple nights at fabulous restaurants in New Bedford. Love New England - thank you!

A beautiful space with kind hosts

It was a perfect place for us to rest for a weekend. The house is beautifully decorated with original artwork. The fireplace provided cozy atmosphere for a rainy day. We also enjoyed delicious breakfast as a bonus since the hosts were there during our stay. I highly recommend this place!

Perfect Sanctuary

My stay had the best of both worlds. It was very quiet for a much needed restful long weekend and close to many activities. I loved the artwork in the home and the beautiful flower gardens. Laurie is a great host and she has thought of everything you will need for a perfect getaway, including a delicious breakfast. I can’t wait to come back again.

Fresh breakfast and Laurie was very accommodating to my somewhat strict diet. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was clean, and Laurie’s decorating style of this beautiful 1700’s historic home was quaint, stylish, and very interesting. The art is eclectic and not period pieces, but there is a book in the bedroom that lists each piece and provides history of the artist. The property is quiet, and I thoroughly enjoyed the peace of sitting on the back deck surrounded by the quiet charm of the woods, listening to the old country church bells ringing the hour each morning. My husband and I will be staying here again. Thank you so much, Laurie. You were an exceptional host. Dee and Mike.

Perfect Wedding Weekend

My husband and I stayed here to attend a wedding. The house was absolutely picturesque. The town was just as adorable and idyllic. But the thing that really made the stay incredible was the breakfast every morning. We were one of the lucky ones to be greeted each morning with a breakfast tray on the dining room table and each meal was not only better than the last, but better than anything you would get at a restaurant. I highly recommend this stay and would stay again!

Wonderful Westport

So many great aspects about our stay, hard to put it all into words. Simultaneously stimulating and relaxing. Fabulously detailed & unrelentingly comfortable. A terrific setting to start and finish your days, and to recharge in the middle, while visiting Westport. Convenient to just about everything. Anywhere we wanted to go always seemed just 15 minutes away. Outstanding hosts. Would definitely return.

Excellent location, wonderful hosts

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone wishing to explore the Westport area. The bed is very comfortable and Laurie provided us with a delicious breakfast every morning. We were also grateful for the A/C. Communication with our hosts was prompt and we appreciated that they were quick to respond to our questions/requests. The home is located on a road that has regular traffic, so a light sleeper may want to bring ear plugs to help block out extra sounds. This didn’t disturb us though and we would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area another time.

Art, history, & bird lovers paradise

I was looking for a weekend rental close to Fall River (for a concert at the Narrows), but also close to the beach for a wedding anniversary trip. Laurie’s place fit the bill perfectly. I was blown away by the high quality art and furniture in the house, and Laurie and her husband were attentive hosts. The back porch was the perfect spot to relax and watch the birds that are constantly flying around the bird feeders. We had a great time and will likely return. The place has a couple quirks of note: although it is very spacious, there’s only a small kitchenette and downstairs bathroom. It’s also right on a road where people drive pretty fast. Definitely a unique spot for two people looking for something off the beaten path.

Great B&B

My wife and I went for a getaway weekend. We were a little thrown off since it is not a whole house to yourself, but a section of the house blocked off for you. The area was well decorated and very clean. The property owner also went above and beyond and made the space very romantic with valentine's day props and food. Overall it was a great experience and the property owner was very responsive, but it was not what we expected.

Five Star Experience!

Laurie, the host, was, by far, the most incredible host. The home is so thoughtfully put together. The breakfast she provided was far beyond what my husband and I expected. She even surprised us with pie! We only had this place booked for two nights, which was a bummer. We didn’t want to leave.

Unique Place to Stay with Amazing Breakfasts

The 1740 Captain Charles Cornell whaling master house was a very unique place to stay with a lot of personality and style. Interesting art work with descriptions and period furniture to complement the decor. On the second floor is a very comfortable king bed with a small TV in the bedroom. The modern bathroom is located downstairs on the first floor. We loved the delicious, full breakfasts that "magically appeared" each morning on the dining room table that made a bright start to our day. The location is conveniently located for exploring the areas of Newport, Providence and the entire Cape Cod region.

Great experience

We had a very comfortable stay at this conveniently located Westport rental: spacious,charming, and extremely comfortable. Cute little kitchen area, with a beautiful dining room and a deck with a table. Nice living room, great bathroom with towels warmed on the towel rack. The host was very helpful: we had a few questions that came up before we got there and during our stay, and she was prompt and helpful with her replies. One surprise was that she made a delicious breakfast for us each of the days we were there, left for us early in the morning. The neighborhood is safe and lovely. Highly recommend this rental for your stay in Southcoast MA or RI.

Lovely getaway space!

Laurie has a wonderful property filled with interesting art and thoughtful touches. There’s a great deck outside the living room with an umbrella and two comfy chairs that looks out over a beautiful yard with bird feeders and occasional bunnies. The bedroom is extremely comfortable, and both upstairs and downstairs are cooled by mini split A/C’s. We were there in record heat and were quite comfortable. Laurie went above and beyond with delicious home cooked breakfasts each morning. We felt very coddled! Thank you Laurie for sharing your special property with us.

Wonderful Stay in Historic Westport

My husband and I recently spent our anniversary at this extraordinary historic home at the head of Westport, furnished with an eclectic mix of antique and contemporary furniture and a sensational collection of artwork that is generously shared with guests by the hosts Laurie and Steve. The accommodations were very clean, spacious and equipped with all the essentials including a modern bathroom, and a very comfortable bed. The location is quite beautiful, situated in a historic center with the Westport River nearby and convenient amenities within easy walking distance including the town square, a kayak rental shop, and a deli/market selling delicious baked goods, coffee and basic food items. As noted by other guests, another exceptional aspect of our stay was the daily home cooked breakfast, prepared and delivered by the host (an amenity that is available to those fortunate enough to rent when the hosts are home as we were). Overall, this was a fantastic, and very memorable experience and we would gladly return to this lovely home for another stay. Thank you Laurie and Steve
