“What a great treasure this home is!”

October 20, 2024

What a great treasure this home is! The host, Ronnie, has thought of
everything. From the slippers and robes, to the easy to follow
directions and recommendations, to the fresh eggs every morning, his
thoughtfulness helped make our annual girls trip one of the most
relaxing yet. If you are going to be in the area, we highly recommend
this lovely historical home and it’s wonderful host. We hope to
return!

“a perfect blend of a unique home, a peaceful outdoor space/neighborhood, and the amenities of a city just a few blocks away”

October 14, 2024

We had a perfect stay. The home was very unique, cozy, and well
stocked. The outdoor space and surrounding neighborhoods were beautiful.
There were many walkable things to do (parks, cafes, restaurants, etc).
Ronnie made sure we had everything we needed from accessories for our
toddler to fresh eggs from the backyard hens every day. It was a perfect
blend of a unique home, a peaceful outdoor space/neighborhood, and the
amenities of a city just a few blocks away. We hope to return some day!

Happy 4th of July: historic perspective 🇺🇸

June 30, 2024

As we celebrate Independence Day this year, a quick flashback to July 4, 1969

This Providence Journal article featuring the historic Cole Farmhouse mentions President Washington’s visit to Cole Farm.

“The house… dates from 1731 and is rich in historical associations. George Washington is known to have visited the deputy governor of Rhode Island Darius Sessions there.”
