Om boendet

Välkommen till den 17: e århundradet

Med undantag för vissa Premium-datum accepterar vi endast bokningar på mindre än 7 dagar när ankomstdatumet är inom 30 dagar, såvida vi inte har andra gäster omedelbart före eller efter den önskade uppehållstillståndet. Vi gör det så att vi inte eliminerar gäster som söker vistelser på 7 dagar eller längre. Gärna göra en förfrågan ändå, för jag kan boka en annan gäst omedelbart eller fortsätta med de datum du har begärt. Om du fortfarande söker boende när det kommer närmare din ankomst, kolla vår kalender. Under tiden om vi har en reservation som omedelbart föregår eller följer din förfrågan kommer vi att kontakta dig.
Om vi redan har en gäst som checkar ut den dag du checkar in eller checkar in på dagen du checkar ut måste vi justera inchecknings- eller utcheckningstiden med en timme för att tillåta tillräckligt med tid för hushållerska.

Byggd 1677 är Major Thomas Fenner House det äldsta hemmet i Providence Plantations och en av de få ursprungliga "stenändarna" som finns. 2400 sqft 4 BD 2 BA hem sitter på 3 tunnland mark sidospår till Stone Pond. När du går upp Stony Acre drar du ner den långa uppfarten strax innan stoppskylten. Du kommer att lämna en 1970-talet bostadsområde för att upptäcka en lugn miljö bland gamla träd som tar dig tillbaka till en tid av den tidiga koloniala Rhode Island.

Hemmet byggdes några månader efter kung Phillips krig där nybyggarnas hem brändes till marken. Ursprungligen byggd som en 2½-story 18. 5 "x 18. 5" stolpe och strålkarm hemma på en fält sten grund med en massiv sten spis. Den ursprungliga brandrummet, sova kammare, vind och källare är väldigt mycket som de byggdes. På 1700-talet tillägg tillsattes till söder och väster och på 1920-talet en vindskupan lades på att ge det en Salt Box stil och en inomhus badrum.

Hemmet fungerade som en bostad, domstol, möte hus och krog. Google Major Thomas Fenner Bear för att se sin ursprungliga receptet för öl.

Home infördes i det nationella registret över historiska platser 1990 och är juvelen i tidiga Rhode Island hem.

Den nuvarande ägaren tog hem tillbaka till Fenner familjen i 2006 efter ett 90 år långt uppehåll med uppdraget att fortsätta dess bevarande i ytterligare 330 år. År 2015 beslutade ägaren att göra fastigheten tillgänglig som ett semesterboende för att hjälpa den att stödja sig själv och att göra det möjligt för offentliga och arkitektoniska och historiska forskare ökad tillgång till hemmet. Hemmet är inrett med antikviteter, period, reproduktionsmöbler och kolonial stil. Inredningen ger atmosfären av ett historiskt hem och ger fortfarande gästerna en bekväm vistelse med moderna bekvämligheter (inomhusvattenberedning, fyra platt-tv-wifi och larmsystem) som inte stämmer överens med hemets historiska natur. Tänk på detta hem kan ha varit fem stjärna när byggdes, men Rustik är en bättre beskrivning i dag.

Bland de arkitektoniska underverk av huset är den massiva fältstenskorstenen på norra sidan av huset, varför dessa hem är kända som "stenändare". Loftfönstret till vänster om skorstenen är storleken på de ursprungliga fönstren, som hade trekantiga glasrutor som importerades från England. Den post och balk konstruktion är av gamla tillväxt oskuld timmer. Kolla in storleken på sommaren (trä balk över spisen) genom att öppna dörren till tvättstugan och såg upp till vänster. Det här är också där strömbrytaren till spotljuset som lyser upp eldstaden ligger. Eldstaden är 10 fot bred och över 5 ½ fot hög. För att öppna och stänga rökgasen tryck upp och dra ner metallstången som syns på höger sida av eldstaden. Granit under, framför och sidospår spis är det ursprungliga köket. En tung metallstång kan ses genom att titta upp i skorstenen. Detta användes för att hänga krukor att laga mat samt tre ben krukor sitter i kolen som en i bakre vänstra sidan av den öppna spisen. Du kan se den grunda bikupugnen i baksidan av skorstenen som föll ur mode som ett resultat av att många kvinnor fångar sina klänningar i brand medan de lagar mat. De stora golvbjälkarna som kan ses i källaren placerades bara 5 tum från varandra och de bjälkarna får kredit för hemmet som fortfarande står i det 4: e århundradet. På vinden kan man se de distinkta ärren av timmer som har blivit "gropsågade".

Det var en ny Englands tradition att ge nygifta två sockerlönn att plantera i sin trädgård så att de skulle ha lönnsocker för livet. Maple träd bakom huset var sannolikt planterade i 2: a hälften av 1800-talet. Skafferiet bredvid frukostplats har flyttats från vänster om huvud spis, men det är den ursprungliga 1677 skafferi.

Under en standardränta kommer reservationer på mindre än 7 dagar endast att accepteras inom 30 dagar efter beläggning eller när det omedelbart fortsätter eller följer en befintlig reservation.

Som ni kan föreställa er ett hem i denna ålder har vissa funktioner som är unika för vad gästerna kan användas för att. Vissa dörröppningar är låga, trösklar är höga, stegen är brant, och sprickor i 1677 bred planka golv skulle göra höga klackar en mardröm. En 1929 Elmsford gasspis är mittpunkten i köket. Kokkärlet har en öppen pilot, så lägg aldrig något brännbart på toppen av kaminen. Kontrollerna för ugnen finns på höger sida av ugnen.

Amazing place to stay, especially if you appreciate history...

Overall, this house is a wonderful place to stay. It has a good location with a Walmart and other conveniences less than 2 miles away. In addition, for a historical house, it is very well kept. The owner was wonderful with contacting me from the beginning and even checking on our family during our stay. Definite 5-stars for the owners. My only caution would be for anyone who has severe allergies, as this is an older home, and because of that, we did take air purifiers with us, which helped a lot for us to be able to stay there because my allergies are extremely severe. But I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on the opportunity to stay in such history. Thank you so much, Fenner family, for opening this up for so many to enjoy.

An amazingly beautiful and historic house!

Everyone enjoyed their stay and the accommodations were fantastic. Every basic needs were supplied, such as bathroom and laundry supplies. The neighborhood was nice and I felt safe taking walks. I have no complaints but I will recommend that you DO NOT LIGHT AN OUTSIDE FIRE IN THE FIRE PIT! The fire department showed up and made us put it out. We were told that it is against city policy. You can light one in the main fireplace. 5 stars on this property!

Great Experience!

We loved staying at The Thomas Fenner House. It was a truly amazing experience staying in this historic home. Love the Glenwood stove and all the fireplaces. We were a group of 7 and came here to celebrate my son and his fiancée. He proposed to her during the trip at Cliff Walk in Newport. The house had all the necessities we needed and we were comfortable during our stay. Host was very communicative and responsive to any inquiries we had during our stay. Great location and easy access to other areas in Rhode Island that we visited during our trip! I would recommend staying at this house for a trip back in time. A good time was had by all and we left with plenty of memories. Thank you. Yvonne and Nick

Great Experience!

Staying at the Major Thomas Fenner House was an awesome experience, that made you feel like you were stepping back into the past. The owner was very attentive to any questions I had, and responded within hours if not minutes from when I’d reach out to him with an inquiry. I loved the guided tour book of the house that was located on the coffee table in the living room that the owner out together. I learned from the guide that members of the Fenner family relocated from Rhode Island to Herkimer County…which is where I live!!! The house, inside and out was well taken care of. Once again, awesome experience!!! Thank you for everything!!!

Thank you for preserving this home for overnight guests

I live in Warwick, RI and needed a place for my sister, her husband and 3 children, ages 12-13, to stay for a few days. They were touring New England for their annual summer vacation. This was a perfect place for them to stay to get a more visceral experience of RI and its history. As we opened the key-lock door the smell of over 400 years of wood fires greeted us. I had printed out the informative tour that owner Richard Fenner included on VRBO for his guests. We followed with whetted appetite as we explored nooks and crannies of the house and grounds. My engineer brother-in-law especially enjoyed examining the building structure and exclaimed about the wide width of the floor planks! Nice job on blending the old with contemporary comforts of up to date washer/drye, shower and room AC!

American History with Great Contemporary Features!

Six family members and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend for my son’s college graduation. It was close enough to the freeway to get us to Providence, Newport and Bristol, but we never heard car traffic. I am an American History nut and walking back in time and into this home was a magical experience. From it huge fireplaces to the original floors, it was easy to imagine family life in the late 1600s. Follow the self-guided tour. It was fascinating. On the other hand, the kitchen and bathrooms were contemporary — I loved the showers with their “rain” showerhead features. Dishwasher, laundry and kitchen appliances were great to have! We were treated to an especially unique event when a momma snapping turtle made its way from the pond to lay eggs near the back patio...leaving only after making sure her eggs were properly covered. If I ever find myself back in the area, I will go back to Major Fenner’s home for another stay, it was a special experience!

Beautiful historic home!

We stayed last week for the occasion of my son's wedding in Rehoboth, MA. This home is beautifully maintained and the owner has preserved its historical history and character while providing the modern conveniences of A/C, bathrooms and kitchen that are updated and easy to use. My husband loved the history of the house (which is there to read) and I loved the 1600 ambiance. We had a total of 5 adults there for a week and a local friend who stayed 2 nights with us and we all had plenty of room. We used the fireplace only once, but what a thrill to light a few logs on the huge fireplace and listen to the crackle! The home was spotless with plenty of cleaning supplies provided so we could tidy up as the week went along. The location was great as we were central to the wedding and rehearsal dinner locations in North Dighton and Rehoboth. We also went to Newport, Providence and Fall River (Pier 52 is a great place for dinner by the water) as we were not far from any of these places. Thank you to the host (who is very responsive to questions) for making this historical home a comfortable place to stay and enjoy! It is a gem in our book! Hope to stay there again when we come back to the area.

Great home but neighborhood issues

The house was amazing. Old vintage and just a beautiful piece of history. No better place to celebrate our great uncles 100th birthday. But if you plan on staying beware the neighbors. So here we go. When we arrived there was a nice fire pit, we were asked to keep the fires small and we did. However anything bigger then a match was an issue with the lady next door. It rained alot so we only had 3 small fires to make smores and just talk. The neighbor was not happy about this. So one day we went out and when we returned the fire pit was gone. The owner apparently sent someone over to fill in the pit and planted a small shrub. I was quite disappointed that i was not advised of this. It was a rental positive for us. But anyway the neighbor was complaining so much i gather this was a fix for her constant complaining. The owner said the cops were called. We never had any contact with police. On july 4th the neighborhood was explosive with fireworks. It was amazing and a beautiful site. Back to the neighbor. We were cooking on the grill on the opposite side of the yard near the barn far from nosey nelly the neighbor. But she still called the fire department on us. Yes the fire department showed up came in and we spoke. The fire lieutenant and his crew were very very upset that they were called when we were simply cooking on a grill. We offered food to the firemen and invited them back later if they got hungry. The fire department went to the neighbor's house and advised her if she called them again for this nonsense she would receive a 500.00 fine from the city for every call. The fire department told me this was there 10th call in 3 weeks from this lady. I dont think there will be an 11th call. Also the other neighbors dog isabel like to come over and poop 2 or 3 times a day. I got a little tired if picking up after isabel. So if you want to stay in an amazing piece of history this is the house for you. I cant say enough about this amazing home. But the neighbor will be a major issue. So keep noise down and beaware when cooking on the grill. But i dont thing the fire department will be called again.

Perfect Vacation Home for History & Comfort.

The Fenner House is an absolutely wonderful, comfortable, and fascinating place. It is beautifully decorated in colonial furnishings that reflect its place in history. It smells so lovely, like aged wood and autumn by the hearth – a scent that should be pirated by Yankee Candle. The living room is a great place to relax and contemplate the architecture or life in general. The dining room makes one feel that Paul Revere is going to stop in for a bite. The kitchen is well-appointed with plenty of storage space for your Pop-Tarts and everything one might need to prepare a fabulous meal. The bedrooms are cozy with comfortable beds, great furnishings, and room for all your petticoats, puffy shirts, and wigs. The bathrooms seamlessly blend style with modern creature comforts and feel spa-like. The washer and dryer ensure you will have clean duds after avoiding sharks* at the beach. The AC units keep you cool and comfortable in the heat of summer. There are also nooks and crannies everywhere that would make an English muffin jealous. The outdoor space is lovely – perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air and beautiful landscape. Above all, it’s the history of the house that’s the icing on the cake. You must do the self-guided tour. And if, like me, you have a tween you like to annoy, give your kids a quiz at the end. My son was able to chat with his grandfather about floor joists, sleeping rooms, window panes, governors, Oliver Cromwell, and Native Americans with gusto. We sat in the living room, gazing around, imagining what it was like to live here. And before all the modern conveniences were installed that we take for granted today. Cranston is an easy drive to Boston, Newport, Providence, and Cape Code. Mr. Fenner was a pleasure to work with and answered all questions in a timely manner. *We didn’t know Cape Cod = seal (and therefore great white shark) hot-spot. How exciting to spot a purple shark flag after pahking the cah, and enjoy the show of seals all day. There was a shark sighting at our location. A man was swimming well past where the seals were cruising along and refused the lifeguard’s repeated pleas that he return to shallower waters. Lucky for him he did not get chomped. Cue lesson to the children about whether or not certain individuals improve the gene pool. My favorite feature of all? Once home I ordered myself my own tricorn hat. We could all use a little more colonial spirit these days.

The Perfect New England Experience

Although I was born and raised in Rhode Island, I settled in Texas in 1996 and raised my family there. I was able to bring my fiancé, 5 of my children, a son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and 2 grandchildren on a Rhode Island adventure and wanted to find a place that would accent the trip. I struck gold in choosing the Fenner House! The home transported my family and me back to the 17th and 18th century and each one of us loved the experience! The home was tidy, the rates were very fair, and the colonial interior design was amazing! By the time we packed up to leave, there was a sense sadness we all felt. We made lifelong memories that spanned generations and we wished we could stay longer. There is not a thing I would change and no a single improvement I could recommend. Kudos and thank you to the owners of the Major Thomas Fenner House! I highly recommend a stay to any family looking for a great New England experience!

A Step Back in Time

This property is amazing. It’s such an old building, but it’s kept in phenomenal shape. The only deterrent would be the smokiness in the air from the fireplace, if you have asthma it may cause some breathing issues for sure. Other than that though there is nothing negative I can say about the place. The property is huge and offers plenty of space to spread out — both inside AND out! The outdoor area was a highlight for our group especially. Richard was great with answering any questions we had leading up to our check-in. It’s also within 20-30mins of the beaches! I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away in Rhode Island.

historical home

I booked this property because of the history of the property. I wanted a unique experience outside standard hotel rooms. What a treat. Everyone in my family thoroughly enjoyed the home. We walked around the inside of the home and discovered something new every time. The floors are original from late 1600's so if this is not your scene - I wouldn't recommend this property. But if you have an appreciation for things still around for over 300 plus years (including trees in the backyard) I would highly recommend this property. We had my grandson (who is 10 months old and very curious) with us and had to watch him very carefully while crawling on the floor because of the uneven floor boards but we put a large blanket on the floor and he was just fine. The hosts were so accommodating to our needs and communication was excellent. Thank you Richard for opening your family home and heritage to us.

Lots of space and interesting place!

We enjoyed our stay in this historic home. We had plenty of space for our group of 6. The instructions to enter and lock the house we very clear. Communication with and instructions from the host were excellent. We had no complaints other than a few things could have been cleaner. We had an odd experience with a neighbor yelling “no fires” while we were simply walking around exploring the yard. We weren't planning to make a fire, as that was in the instructions for the house. Overall our experience was great. The description is very clear that this house has it’s idiosyncrasies that come with an old, historic home. We found the house charming and interesting. It was a step back in time, while at the same time a comfortable stay.

Enjoyed our week's stay at the house. It was a small family reunion and we all had a great time. The house was convenient to many places we visited.

Varför värden valde detta boende

Richard has been involved in genealogy for a number of years which led to him learning of the existance of the Major Thomas Fenner House built by his 7th great grandfather Major Thomas and his father Capt. Arthur. He contacted the owners and let them know if they were ever to sell he would be interested. Even though the Home is on the Registry of Historic Places that does not provide protection. At the time the owner's were ready to sell there was also a developer looking to buy the property and build a condo complex in place of the House. The owner's picked a great time to sell to which means Richard picked a bad time to buy ... the peak of the Real Estate market in 2006. Anyway ... enough whining. He loves the House and hope you do too.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Absorb the ambience of living in the 1600s, but with modern bathrooms and kitchen. Spring in Rhode Island is a time of reawakening with trees budding, flowers emerging and bears awakening from their dens (just kidding). The summer months are generally delightful particularly when you have five A/C units for the occasional too hot and humid days. Rhode Island shows its brightest colors in October. Western and northern Rhode Island are heavily wooded. Blackstone Valley region includes the towns of Pawtucket, home of Slater Mill, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America. The Blackstone Valley Explorer river boat offers trips on the river into mid-October. Beautiful foliage will be on display at Roger Williams Park and Zoo in Providence; and at Blithewold Mansion & Gardens in Bristol. In South County, a great scenic drive is Route 1 and Route 1A from Westerly to Wickford. Winters in Rhode Island are crisp and clear with a fair amount of snow. Luckily we have a plowing service to keep access to the property open at all times and a 2015 gas heating system with dual zone NEST thermostats to keep you comfortable when indoors.
