Loved our short getaway! Jane was more than accommodating ! Everything is state of the art and brand new. The cheerful and beachy colors of the paint were lovely and the side private patio with a new grill , table and chairs were very inviting. Jane stocked the bathroom with anything you might have forgotten. Towels were fluffy and bed was comfy. Highly recommend this for your next visit to RI

I recently stayed at Jane's home and I have to say it was everything like in the photos. It was clean and enough room for what I needed. The space was well lit and well used. Crafty at its best and very nifty.

Although it was a quick trip to Rhode Island, staying at Jane's made me feel like I was home! Her unit is cozy and comfortable and has all the amenities you would expect. Thanks for hosting me, Jane!

Jane was an amazing host with attention to detail and a personalized approach. She went out of her way to be sure we were comfortable and happy. The accommodations are comfortable and convenient. Thanks jane!

As a frequent business traveler with a lot of experience with AirBnB, I can't say enough about Jane and her listing. As a host, Jane, is friendly, helpful, and engaging. The cozy, compact, well-appointed apartment is brand new condition and specifically designed for modern hosting ... great wifi, USB outlets, etc, and Jane supplied food and snacks in the kitchenette for us. The extra supplies and other conveniences are really thoughtful and at the end of the day, the most important things to me were spot on - quiet, comfortable bed with clean sheets, hot shower with clean towels, and a spotlessly clean bathroom. Finally, the location is perfect for easy access to all points in RI from Newport to Providence and surrounding areas.

Great place to enjoy the weekend.

Fantastic

We LOVED Jane's place. My boyfriend and I were in town for an event in Newport, but this was the perfect location for a low-key getaway from a city and tourists. The apartment was the perfect size for two people, cozy, clean and well kept. Genius use of space and equipped with everything we needed, plus access to things we may have needed and forgotten! This is the only place my boyfriend and I want to stay in RI. And Jane was a super accommodating host. We had some issues getting there and she made herself available to offer advice wherever it was needed. Awesome house, sweet host!

Nancy was a wonderful host! She was very nice, and did a great job of thinking of everything I might need during my stay. Her home is in a charming, quiet neighborhood right by the water. The house is clean and neat, and you have the entire first floor to yourself, where you can make dinner or watch TV. There are a few cafes a short walk away, and a grocery store about a 15 minute walk away. Highly recommended.

Nancy is a kind, thoughtful and intuitive. Loved my few days of chilling at Nancy's place. She adds a lot of "little" things that made me feel very welcome and at home away from home. Look forward to another stay ! :) e

The house is right on the water in the historic neighborhood of Wickford. Nancy has a lovely home, very comfy, and she provided us with everything we needed for a great stay, including day trip ideas. The city of Providence and Newport are easy to get to from here. Also, there are hundreds of channels on the TV!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this wonderfully located Air B and B. The back yard was beautiful and the deck was large and spacious. Nancy had the fridge and cabinets stocked with essentials upon our arrival. The village is walking distance and has great shops, restaurants and a creek running through the center of town. Newport is an easy drive as are other small towns with antique shops, historical sights and world class dinning. The accommodations were clean, spacious and comfortable. This is the perfect spot.

Joann and Steve were amazing hosts! They were supportive, friendly, and I immediately felt both comfortable and welcomed by them. Upon arriving Joann helped us feel settled with a 5 min walk to town to explore! Such an adorable town and such an amazing host couple!!

We arrived in Wickford after a couple of days in NYC which was a huge changeover but we immediately fell in love with the place. Steven and Joann gave us a very warm welcome and they stroke us as very dedicated hosts, you can see that they really enjoy doing it. The (recently decorated) cottage has everything you need: the kitchen has lots of appliances and materials, living room with sofa and chair, comfortable bed and matress and a bathroom with a nice shower. Steve and Joann have lots of nice suggestions for restaurants and things to do. As we indicated that we are enthousiastic golfers Joann even got her boss (also a golfer) to make a list of best golfcourses in the neighbourhood including distance to the course, greenfees and ratings, it was really helpfull and attentive! We were welcomed with a basket and of local goodies and some mornings Joann surprised us with homemade muffins, coffee, yoghurt and donuts from the worldfamous Allie's donuts. Wickford is a lovely little town which is only a 5 minute walk from the cottage. It has a couple of nice places to eat and lots of little stores. Everything was more than we expected and we would love to come back some time!

My family and I had a great stay with Steven and Joanne! They were wonderful hosts and even provided us with a little snack basket upon our arrival. Steven was very responsive when we had an issue with the Internet and fixed it immediately. The place was beautiful, in a perfect location, and I hope to stay there again!

Get ready for a lengthy review! I'd like to start off by saying that the apartment was lovely. It looked just like pictures that Steven provided. It was a cute, reasonably sized space for a great price. The apartment had everything we needed and beyond. Everything was very clean and comfy (comfy bed) and Jo (Steven's wife) even provided us with snacks and beverages, and natural beauty products that her friend makes which included shower bombs, chapstick, soap, shaving cream (Amazing Grace Naturals). There's also a cute little space set up for you to enjoy your morning coffee outside of the house. By the way I LOVE all the flowers on the outside! Very charming! The space also included brochures, tv, games, etc. The neighborhood was calm, quiet, beautiful. Just 5-10 minutes to town (restaurants, cafes, cute little shops) , 2 minutes to the woods, and 10 minutes to the beach (walking). You have it all! Places such as the beach, woods, a couple of restaurants are walking/biking distances, but a car would be a advantage. Especially if you want to see all the attractions. There's also a bus, the 14, that you can take to get around. My sister and I came to Rhode Island to get away from NYC and relax and Steven and Jo made sure that our trip was memorable. First off, Steven picked us up from the bus stop when we first arrived which was very nice and welcoming. They gave us brochures and answered all of our questions on activities and attractions. They were very helpful and warm hearted people. Jo showed us around town, made us muffins, got us really good donuts! Jo and Steven also let us use there bikes and KAYAKS! As a New Yorker, you really appreciate the space, nature and quiet. Steven even drove us to the lake. They went out of there way to make us feel welcome! They really went above and beyond and we really appreciated it! We only stayed 3 nights, and we only had one day of sunshine, so Jo and Steven offered to let us stay for one more night. Even though that was a very kind, genuine offer, we had to turn it down because my sister had work the next day :( ..We would have LOVED to stay and it was such a sweet offer! Just a suggestion for anyone that is stressed, or is interested in yoga or the arts- go to the woods! There's a certain spot that has rocks and a small waterfall that is a beautiful and serene place to meditate, read, write, draw. If you want to have an authentic, local experience, with very friendly people, surrounded by nature and beauty, close to town, the woods, and the beach at an affordable price- then this is the right place for you! Thanks again guys!

Whimsical Wickford is gorgeous, perfectly quaint and in walking distance to a beach, gift shops, cafes and restaurants. Wickford village is so pretty and lovely to wander around. The bus stops just outside to go to Jamestown/Newport/Providence and there's a train station nearby to get to Boston. Joann and Steve were brilliant hosts who went above and beyond. From their local knowledge and recommendations, to offers of rides to places, and freshly baked treats, you just couldn't want for anything more.

Joann and Steve are terrific hosts and they have a wonderful Air B&B. It's cozy, charming, and is equipped with everything you could need. Location to village of Wickford is terrific too.

For mother's day this year, I decided to take my 81 year old mother to visit one of her (and my) favorite people in Providence Rhode Island. My college student/daughter. Instead of staying in the city of Providence, I decided to find somewhere nearby in a small coastal town. I wanted to find a place where my mother and I could enjoy some down time during our visit. And we certainly hit the jackpot. Steven and JoAnn's 1 bedroom apartment in Wickford just about 25 minutes south of Providence was more than perfect! My mother immediately fell in love with both the apartment and our hosts and everything about our visit exceeded my expectations. Steven was so welcoming and hospitable. From the moment I booked the reservation to the minute we pulled into the driveway. He insisted on taking our bags and settling us into their lovely apartment. It was cozy, spotless and filled with so many goodies. From the sand pebble shaped chocolates, to the home baked breads waiting for us on the table, to the snacks in the basket and fruit and wine in the refrigerator. The home made soaps in the shower and the cozy bedding on both the master bed and the pull out couch spoiled us...and made us feel like special guests! Steve introduced us to his lovely wife Joanne. They both made lots of suggestions on where to eat and what to see! They welcomed my daughter when she came to visit...and left us fresh donuts and scones on Saturday morning! The historic town of Wickford, just a few minutes away was absolutely precious...and the people there were also so welcoming! I can't thank our hosts enough for making this early mother's day weekend such a hit with both my mother and daughter! And now I can't wait to return with my husband. Steve and Joann told us they have a kayak and bicycles for us to use next time! Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend! We'll be back!

An overall FABULOUS experience at Whimsical Wickford!!! My husband and I have two very young children with lots of energy so traveling anywhere can be tricky, but Steve and Joann made our stay unbelievably easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. Logistics and scheduling were smooth from the start and they could not have been more welcoming and generous. The apartment is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, with lovely consideration to every detail. Steve and Joann do an incredible job of anticipating any guest's needs. We were met with a welcome basket of snack foods and treats for the entire family. the fridge and cupboards were stocked with unexpected conveniences including coffee and creamer, butter, tupperware, plastic bags and foil, disposable plates and utensils, bottled water and even juice boxes for the kids. There were beach chairs and toys, tons of towels and linens, and a wonderfully comfy and cozy bed. One afternoon Joann knocked on our door with a plate of delicious freshly baked cookies for a picnic that were were going to that evening! The kids LOVED their stay and had a great time playing in the apartment with the many toys and games, running in the beautiful backyard, and finding caterpillars and sticks with Joann. We all really enjoyed talking with both Steve and Joann, and getting love from sweet Lola (their adopted dog). They gave us so many great tips on where to go and things to do and were just very laid back and pleasant throughout our five day stay. We really could not recommend Whimsical Wickford more!

We arrived at night and Nicole had a fire going in the wood stove which made her place very cozy. Nicole was a great hostess - friendly and had suggestions of places to eat and explore! Nicole is a competent DIYer and the house is cute and full of character very open and cozy with a comfortable, private bedroom. Her labs are such friendly, well-behaved dogs and the yard is fenced in and relaxing. Wickford is a cute little town with breakfast places and little shops and a beach. Can't wait to go back and explore! Her house is so comfortable so much better than staying in a hotel and such a safe, quiet neighborhood about 10 minutes from URI - location was perfect! Had a great stay!

This listing truly is a gem! The house is lovely furnished and super clean... the nicely arranged backyard is awesome to relax. Our room was spacious, cozy and the bed comfortable. There is parking right in front of the house. The area is quiet and safe. The beach, a marina and stores are in walking distance. Newport/Jamestown are about 10 minutes car ride. The location is very convenient. Nicole is a very nice, cool and fun person. The communication was great and she made us feel very welcome. Her dogs and cat are awesome (but if you are not an animal lover she will keep them away so that they won't bother you). It was a really great stay at Nicole's house and I definitely will be back :)

I love staying at Nicole's. Warm and cozy and her dogs are awesome.

We LOVED staying here, and wish we could have stayed longer! Nicole is an excellent communicator, and has a lovely home. We loved all the personal touches she has added into her home. It was a welcomed place to rest after a long drive. We also instantly became best friends with the cat! We never got to meet in person due to our busy schedule, but we would definitely stay here again! Thanks for keeping us!

When I arrived, Andrea made me feel very welcome. They have 2 well behaved dogs and a cat. I wasn't there very much because I was taking a class, but I did feel safe.

I stayed at Kelley Farm to attend a friend's wedding nearby. It's a beautiful place to stay, and Mo is so friendly! You should stay here if you have a chance!

Mo has a lovely room in a picturesque setting, on a farm, near horses and a wonderful greenhouse. Beaches are very accessible and a short drive away. Not to mention the nearby restaurants with fresh lobster and oysters! If you want a taste of the country but not too far off the grid, this is the place for you.

Mo is very friendly and gave us great advice on things to do in the area as well as restaurants. The barn was adorable and was the perfect place to have a relaxing weekend. It is a great location and overall we had a great experience. 5/5 stars. And we loved all of the animals!

We had a wonderful experience, it was a quiet and relaxing weekend getaway. Mo and her husband were very kind and helpful. Their recommendations were phenomenal

Mo is a great host. Her unit was clean and comfortable and she was an attentive host. We were grateful to stay for the night...

I planned a weekend away for my boyfriends birthday, and this was the perfect location! This barn apartment is so cozy. It was everything we needed! It allowed to us have a private romantic getaway, all within a very short drive to downtown Newport and Narraganssett! Mo was a lovely host, offering us suggestions for things to do and restaurants to explore in the area. Very much recommend! And the bed was super comfortable!!

Our stay at the farm was great! The little house was very cute, well-appointed, comfy and clean. We loved having their 3 horses as our neighbors. They were very sweet and let us pet them :) It was a very cool experience and would definitely recommend the farm on the coast.

This was the most delightful airbnb! We are already plotting how we can get back here soon! Horses, a bunny, the most beautiful trees (felt like I was in the south!) and tons of privacy. Definitely recommend if you're visiting the Newport area!

Kenneth was very knowledgeable about the area. He was always pleasant to interact with. The neighborhood was great with a 10-15 minute drive to everything we wanted to see. Stay here!

Kenneth was a good host. Room was very clean and spacious. He delivered everything promised and even provided delicious hot coffee in the morning! This was our first AIRBNB EXPERIENCE and he made it a good one! Thanks!

Kenneth was friendly and helpful with suggestions. We were traveling with a dog, and he was more than accommodating with her! The stay was a pit stop, but we got a glimpse of the area which is worth seeing. The room was clean and generous.

We loved our short vacation. Kenneth is a wonderful host. I traveled with my toddler and we felt very welcome as a family at Kenneth's house. Kenneth's was very helpful and recommended beaches and a bakery. I can certainly recommend staying here.

Kenneth did an awesome job hosting us! We arrived later than we planned and he was completely accommodating to us and meet us at the door when we arrived. He showed us the very clean, private room with an amazing tub and left us to our own. Will def. be recommending his place to friends !

Our stay at Kenneth's place was wonderful. The space is part of the main house, but it feels very private and relaxing. Comfy bed, breezy ceiling fan, and empty dressers that make you feel welcome. The bathroom feels palatial with the option of a large tub or a shower. Kenneth is very inviting and relaxed, he even made some muffins to share! We would definitely stay again when we find ourselves back in the area.

Kenneth made went out of his way to open his home to me. It was in the top 5% of b&bs that I've stayed at. The photo really doesn't do it justice and the location is perfect.

Had a great time staying in southern RI at Ken's place. Just out of walking distance of Narragansett Beach, but it was very quiet. The room is spacious with a big closet and private bathroom. It was also pet friendly, which was nice- we didn't have to find anyone to watch our cat, we just brought him! Ken was cool with us using the kitchen/fridge, and let us borrow some beach chairs. Very laid back guy.

Our stay at the Cozy farm house was incredible! We are already talking about when we can visit again. I cannot say enough about this farm home. Such a relaxing weekend, filled with mini pony love, pigs, a llama, sheep, adorable dogs, grilling, nights by the fire, and the warm welcome of Lou Ann. We were provided fresh fruit and a clean, cozy home. Lou Ann was very hospitable and even informed us of local events and nearby restaurants/shopping. I also had the pleasure to learn a lot more about the farm from her! The house is also a short walk from a pond, where we spotted deer and bunnies! You must stay here if you're visiting Rhode Island and want to feel connected to nature.

Cute place! The fresh veggies were tasty!

Lou-Ann is not only a wonderful host who keeps the home immaculate and beautiful and leaves treats for her guests, she is also just good people. We enjoyed our stay and visiting with her ponies, Llama, pigs, and sheep.

Just like all the other reviews note, this is an idyllic spot to unwind and leave all your troubles behind. The farmhouse is charming and very comfortable. The farmland is beautiful and soothing to the spirit. And the animals are as delightful as any you'll ever meet -- especially the mini-horses, who enjoy petting even more than a dog! Thanks to Lou-Ann for creating such a unique and memorable vacation spot and retreat!

We spent a very relaxing couple of days at Lou-Ann and Scott's cute cottage. It's on the same land as their house and farm, but quite a long way down the drive so it feels very private and secluded. It's perfectly located to checkout nearby beaches, incredible seafood, and local treats like Del's frozen lemonade and Dave's coffee. The cottage itself was very cozy, and the tasty jams and delicious fresh sweetcorn and tomatoes that Lou-Ann left out for us were a lovely touch. It's a perfect getaway - there's no wifi but phone service was great. Lou-Ann and Scott were really friendly, but left us to enjoy our break. We came home refreshed!

Lou Ann greeted us warmly well. The house was consistent with the pictures, clean and comfortable. The area is nice to relax, but also to visit either the beaches or the city of Providence.

Lou-Ann's farm house is awesome! We had an amazingly relaxing time there. From the start, we were welcomed with flowers in every room, blueberry pie, and fresh picked corn. The nearby chickens were cute -- and went to bed at dark, so didn't wake us up at night. And the horses were gentle and always eager for a good petting. I highly recommend a visit to Lou-Ann's farm house if you like a break from the city noises and hustle and bustle. It was a great vacation with great hosts!

We really enjoyed my stay at LouAnn and Scott's farm house. They were fantastic hosts who made us feel welcome and comfortable. They were able to provide some good local insight and tips for exploring Rhode Island which was definitely helpful. The house was quaint and cozy, we will definitely be visiting again and recommending it to friends! Very nice people (and animals too!), and a very nice piece of property.

Todd and Ann are lovely people. The Old Hotel is amazing, my husband and I enjoy listening to the stories. It is beautiful inside and just makes one just wonder and imagine how it was when it was a bustling Hotel. The location has a wonderful New England feel. The area is quiet. Tom and Ann were friendly and welcoming. The decor had a cozy feeling. The pillows and bed were comfortable! I went up to the balcony for the sunrise ---gorgeous!! I only stayed one night, would love to come back again. Thanks Todd and Ann!

We had a great experience at Ann and Todd's. They are great hosts and have a wonderful home. I really enjoyed getting to know them and their family. One of their restaurant suggestions ended up being a perfect evening. Many thanks!!!

Todd and Ann were warm and hospitable hosts , their home is lovely , I will definitely stay there again .

We had a wonderful time with Todd and Ann. The house is so interesting as well as beautiful and very comfortable. It evokes a romantic bygone era but with all the modern comforts.There is a lovely private upper deck to enjoy a glass of wine and a view, a beautiful two-level library, an expansive porch, a nice breakfast with home-baked goodies, and a very sweet golden retriever and soft calico cat to welcome you "home". The bed was very comfortable as well, and Ann and Todd were delightful and engaging hosts. We were able to borrow binoculars and use the fridge, too. Five stars all the way!

As an european visitor, I instantly felt at home at this wonderful place. If anyone out there should plan to get an fine airbnb-host, I would advice to visit the Hamsons for a couple of days to see, what´s about being good. Do I exaggerate ? Definitely no! I got many fine advices, Insider recommendations for visiting Newport etc. I would return whenever I could. Thanks Todd & Ann

Our stay was just wonderful..Todd is so nice, he carried my bag for me:) The house is beautiful and comfy..Bed was wonderful and the tubby was so big, my daughter and I took a bath together in the evening! I highly recommend .

We very much enjoyed our stay at Todd and Ann's home. After touring Newport's gaudy mansions, it was a relief to return to their merely plush room. What a wonderful old hotel! Although our schedules were such that we missed one another in the mornings, we felt no less welcome. Todd and Ann were easy to communicate with and generally great hosts. An added bonus was the bistro at the top of the hill within easy walking distance--perfect for the road-weary. Recommended!

Not only a lovely house but a lovely couple. Made us feel very welcome in sharing both yummy breakfasts and their delightful house. Ideally placed to visit the coast and Newport. I wish them the very best.
