“We had a lovely stay in this beautiful historic home”

March 18, 2025
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!

“beautiful time capsule”

February 27, 2025

Ronnie’s place is one of a kind. This 1931 Farm House is spectacular. There was so many original features and the decor was timeless. The hard wood floors have such a charm. And I even loved the squeaky floors as one walked and the whistle blowing radiators made you feel like you were in this beautiful time capsule. We loved the fresh eggs that the chickens 🐓 from his farm produced. The house was super clean. The master bedroom’s bed was comfortable and he used top of the line linen which made the experience precious. Ronnie provided Polands Spring water in a bubbler and left bottles in the fridge with healthy snacks. I found myself nourishing myself abundantly with one of the top spring water and when it was almost empty Ronnie came over with a fresh one within 5 minutes of the request. I feel extremely grateful that Ronnie opened his amazing home to us and we got to meet him and he was very friendly, kind and accommodating. It felt like I was in my grandparents farm house.

Eden of America: Rhode Island Landscapes

January 8, 2025

“The Island is exceedingly pleasant and healthful; and is celebrated for its fine women.
Travelers, with propriety, call it the Eden of America”

“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…”
