We feel really blessed to have found a spot we love so much, right on the east side, close to all the good things: schools, restaurants, shopping. What is best, however, is how comfortable we are in this character-filled home, with its wide, centuries-year-old wood flooring, its period details, and the kind host who always thinks to leave something on the door for us: eggs, pastries, treats of one kind or another.
It’s our second stay. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking to relax in a peaceful, beautiful PVD neighborhood.

You have a nice slice of paradise with the Cole Farm. No details were overlooked and the chickens? What a treat for us all! Can’t thank you enough. We will endeavor to return if we can secure a reservation here. Thanks again!
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful historic home. Ronnie was a wonderful host! We live in a different part of Providence so it was fun to explore this neighborhood. The eggs were delicious. And the kids had a delightful time visiting the chickens throughout the day. I feel so lucky that we were able to find this special place. We will recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Providence.
Thank you so much!

THE EDEN OF AMERICA, Rhode Island Landscape , 1820-1920, Museum of Art, RISD
“A portrait of Rhode Island is as much an image of sea as of land, for the state is dominated by a coastline that has lured countless visitors, including America’s fore- most landscape painters. Rhode Island has been noted throughout its history for its natural beauty and healthful climate, and was first described in 1789 as the “Eden of America.” Conveniently located between Boston and New York City and easily accessible by train or steamer, Rhode Island evolved during the 19th century into America’s seaside playground. Newport, the colonial rival to New York and Boston, was reborn in the last century as the summer haunt of America’s social elite. Across the Bay to the west, the smaller island of Conanicut (Jamestown) was popular as a picturesque site for excursions from Newport. On the western mainland shore was Narragansett, famous for its Pier and Casino and known by 1880 as the “city of hotels,” while at the Connecticut border, Watch Hill with its popular bathing beaches. developed. Artists were attracted to Rhode Island throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, and it is the combination of land, sea and sky, and the variety of visual possibilities created by these elements, that dominate their paintings…”
