“Cole Farmhouse is easily the best AirBnB experience I have ever had, without exaggeration. Not only is the house beautiful, charming, cosy and well-equipped with everything you can imagine—(e.g. a professional coffee machine, a courtesy Mac, every kitchen appliance thinkable, all the toiletries)—but Ronnie was a supreme host. He was very friendly, communicative, generous and brought fresh eggs every day from the farm’s chickens. It doesn’t get much better!”

The Blizzard of 2026 dropped 37.9 inches of snow, breaking the all-time single-storm record set during the legendary Blizzard of 1978 (28.6 inches).And through it all, one house stood strong — just as it has for nearly three centuries.🏡
The Cole Farmhouse, built in 1731, has weathered colonial winters, revolutions, and countless New England storms. Nearly 295 years later, it’s still standing proudly in Providence — proving that some things really are built to last.
From record-breaking blizzards to sunny summer days, history lives here every day.
This Presidents Day marks a special milestone—295 years since the Cole Farmhouse was built in 1731. Nearly three centuries later, this historic home still stands as a place of warmth, rest, and gathering.Through generations, it has witnessed the story of a nation unfold—and today, we’re honored to share its timeless character with guests who appreciate history, comfort, and meaningful escapes.
