Ronnie的房子在美丽安全的社区，虽然这是一所有悠久历史的房子，但房子的装修和维护都非常棒。房子配备了现代高品质的所有生活用品，包括三台可以制作不同种类咖啡的咖啡机。房子内部有许多可爱的装饰画和物品，我和我的孩子们找到二十多个包含鸡的饰品和三十多只鸭子，非常有趣。我的孩子每天会去屋后的鸡舍看望Ronnie养的鸡。Ronni每天会给我们送来新鲜鸡蛋，我们离开时还送给我们小礼物，他是我见过的最友好热情的屋主，对我们的任何信息都及时回复。下次还希望能住这套舒适可爱的房子。 Ronnie，谢谢你的热情款待。

it is a house with a long history, the decoration and maintenance of the house are very good. The house is equipped with all modern high-quality household items, including three coffee machines that can make different kinds of coffee. There are so many lovely decorative paintings and objects inside the house, my kids and I had a lot of fun finding over twenty trinkets containing chickens and over thirty ducks. My kids visit Ronnie's chickens in the chicken coop behind the house every day. Ronni brought us fresh eggs every day and gave us a small gift when we left. He is the most friendly and welcoming host I have ever met and responded promptly to any messages we had. I hope to live in this comfortable and lovely house next time. Ronnie, thank you for your hospitality.
Thank you so much for hosting us. We had a really nice time. The house is beautiful! We got to know the chickens very well and they recieved lots of love this weekend. We hope to be back in the future.
Our family had such a wonderful time in your home. We loved getting print NYT is and did some crosswords together. We had so many the lovely breakfasts from the chickens and even hand fed them some veggie scraps. The coffee set up was perfect for our family. We had so many little espressos. PVD donuts was life changing — the cannoli donut was the best. We loved the mix of old and new in the house – from the updated kitchen to the fun slanty floors. 7 Stars! Just like the bakery! Thank you for sharing your home ♥️
At early 1900’s , the Cole Farm section was a little village with about 100 inhabitants and its own general store (see map). The farm was famous for its herd of one hundred high grade cows. During its later years the farm was used for horse breeding.
It remained a farm until 1947 when the last 3 acres of land were sold off for house lots.
“The name of Cole has been identified with the history of Rhode Island since the early years of the struggle of the little colony for existence. Washington Leverett Cole, was educated in the private school of Samuel J. Austin in Providence and on completing his studies, became interested immediately in the in the management of his fathers large property and of his farm, eventually succeeding him in the control of the estate. He devoted his entire life to bringing this farm to a high standard of efficiency and excellence, purely for the love of the work, and for his deep interest in agriculture and dairying.”
