We really enjoyed the space, inside and out. There was several seating areas outside. One by the pool, one in the garden area and one by the fire pit. Just fantastic!The pool and the grounds were very well maintained. Outdoor lighting was well placed. The kitchen and dining areas were larger than it looked in the photos. 6 chairs at the dining table. We expected 4...bonus! Washer and dryer..bonus! The livingroom was large but more seating is needed to accommodate a big group. We used an available fan to circulate cool air from the livingroom into the dining room and kitchen. Overall we loved this home. We enjoyed every minute of our time there.

Our extended family loves Marie's place! The cousins love soending alone time in the kid cabins, and the dining room table is great for a rousing game of Monopoly Go. Nice huge TV makes movie nights fun, and the pool can't be beat. Thanks for a great visit!

Friends and family vacation

Great spot plenty of space in the house for everyone. Nice kitchen and livingroom obviously the salt water pool was great. We spent out nights near the fire pit and gazed at the stars. They really shine bright with no light pollution around here. Recommend having your monitoring coffee near the river access for a relaxing start to your day.

Great Experience

Had a wonderful July 4th week with family. The pool was a big hit with the whole family and made for a refreshing time on a hot week. The river out back provided some quiet time for doing a little fishing. Only down side was that there wasn't a dishwasher, but that was quickly remedied by a quick trip to the grocery store to buy paper plates and utensils! Even though you feel like you are in a very rural area, which you are, stores, restaurants, and amenities are only 10 minutes away!. A great place for a relaxing vacation!

Bugs, so many bugs

This property backs up to a river and we expected that there would be bugs on the outside of the property. Strangely enough there were many more more bugs inside the house than outside. There were so many bugs flying around the food in the kitchen and dining room that it was almost unbearable. I woke up on the second morning to use the bathroom and the sink was absolutely covered in dead gnats! The only saving grace was the pool area where we spent most of our time. Except at night because none of the light bulbs worked. This is dangerous, especially for families with small children. The gate to the pool area is broken so if a child were to get out unattended it would be very hard to find them. Never again, especially not at this price point. I expected better for the price.

BEWARE: No towels or sheets!

Overall the house was nice. Kitchen well stocked. It's really fun to kayak on the river right behind the house. Very quiet location, great pool. But the owner was extremely difficult. Beware the house has ZERO sheets or towels. That is not an exaggeration. No hand towels in bathrooms, no kitchen towels. NOTHING. So if you happen to have 8 beds worth of sheets lying around and 20 towels, you're all good. For the other 99.999% it's extremely irritating. What's more, the house description and the welcome package DID NOT mention this, despite the owner saying they did (she was wrong). The ONLY mention was #19 in the legaleze of the rental contract. We had to buy all this stuff, and she didn't reimburse us $1. Which is also an ecological disaster for each guest to need to do this. Also one of us left an important keychain at the house and it took 20 days for her to send it, despite knowing its importance and being reminded multiple times.

Decent but wouldn’t stay again

I booked this for my family as we were in town for a wedding by the coast. I saw the comments about bugs/spiders and figured people were being dramatic, plus I wanted a big enough space that we wouldn’t be on top of each other for the long weekend. There were in fact a ton of random bugs in the house, maybe it’s a Rhode Island thing? The house was broom clean but to be honest the cleanliness state was embarrassing to bring my parents to, not a huge deal but cobwebs on the walls, spiders in webs in the corners, thick brown scum lining in the hot tub, that sort of thing. On top of this, the rule book they send is extensive and anxiety inducing, it lists bold, red font $500-700 fees for things like turning the heat up in the hot tub, not covering the grill, leaving any trash, not showering before entering the pool, etc. The two cottages are not heated at all so we could not use them. The pool, while noted as heated in the listing, was not heated and had multiple dead frogs and mice in it when we arrived. You also have to bring your own sheets and towels to the property. Overall, we cleaned out the pool and enjoyed it, and the space was large enough for us, but I would not book again

Friends weekend

There were no major issues, but I do want to give a heads up to future guests: bring something to protect/cover your food because there is a pretty serious ant problem. Within minutes of setting our pizza box down on the counter, the pizza itself was COVERED in ants. A few of us also found ants crawling on our clothes when we were food prepping in the kitchen. So just be aware of that. There also seemed to be a wasps nest near the hot tub that we disturbed when taking the cover off, so we didn’t have a chance to use the hot tub, but if you do choose to use it then please be aware of those buggers. Lastly, large flying bugs always found a way into the home and so did a terrifying Japanese camel cricket. You’re staying in the woods so don’t be surprised if the same large bugs & spider-like cricket join you on your vacation lol. The plus side to all of these large bugs is that not a single one of us got a mosquito bite and we were outside for most of our time there, so yay for silver linings! Lol Overall, bugs aside, we really enjoyed our stay. The pool was the most relaxing pool I’ve ever been in-likely due to the warm temperature- we spent hours just soaking in the pool. The house was fully stocked with whatever we needed kitchen wise, except for baking sheet pans so bring those if you think you’ll need em! Thank you to Marie for sharing her home with us :)

Fabulous pool in a private area.

We had 11 adults in our group. Although there are things to do in the area, the highlight of this rental is a fabulous, deep, saltwater heated pool, which was well-maintained. There’s a shaded sitting area and many other seats in the sun. There is also a hot tub although it was pretty warm the weekend we went. There are lots of sitting areas all over the property, including a large lower deck, and a smaller upper deck. Behind the house is a river that was a little difficult to kayak due to the fallen trees. It was peaceful to sit by, however. We cooked and grilled all of our meals there except for one meal out. There are lots of beautiful trees, shrubs, and flowers on the property. The mosquitoes were pretty bad, but we brought lots of bug spray. There’s a large, smart TV in the living room that we used for gaming in the evening. Just across the street is a lovely hiking area. It was so humid that weekend, so we really appreciated all the air conditioners. We ran out of a few essentials, but there are plenty places to shop nearby. You must supply your own towels and sheets, so I would clarify before you go to make sure you have the proper sizing. Overall, we had a great weekend, and I would definitely go back here again.

Great Multigenerational Family Reunion

Our family, ages 5 to 70 enjoyed 8 wonderful days at the River House. When not content to sit by the pool or laze in the hot tub, we were off biking/hiking on nearby trails, exploring nightlife in Newport and Providence, sightseeing, and enjoying seafood along the coastal communities. The home had numerous spots to congregate or just segregate to read, do yoga or meditate. We were impressed by the high-end kitchen appliances (blenders, coffee makers, cookware, etc) as our group consisted of several professional chefs and bartenders. Due to drought conditions, the river wasn't fully utilized but provided the perfect backdrop for our week.

Great family trip

We had our son and family up from Maryland for a week..plenty of room for all of us. We did manage to save 1 frog from drowning in the pool...sorry for all those We couldn't save. Marie was great host she got back to us right away when we had a few small issues. We'll keep it on short list for next year

Nice home with many issues

Our stay here was nice but still had many issues. The kitchen was infested with ants everywhere. It was clear, through Ant traps, that they were trying to deal with the problem but it wasn't working. In addition, bugs were all over the two cabins which made them not usable. Obvisouly being outside, we expected some but this went way above what we expected. The "river" was disappointing and more like a swamp that you couldn't use. They no longer offer kayaks for use (despite saying so in the listing). Even if they had them, the river water was so low and there were trees down throughout which would have made using it impossible. We understand things happen but the photos are misleading. The back deck was a nice area but none of the lights or electricity worked, making it impossible to see at night. We tried to use the gas fireplace for light but the propane tank was empty. The tank was also empty at grill. We had to buy one for use. The firepit area is directly next to a large hornets/wasp nest that clearly has been building for months. Two of our guests got stung while trying to enjoy the firepit so we had to stop sitting there. They need to get an exterminator or something as this is clearly a health and safety issue. The hottub was quite dirty and took forever to heat up. We tried to use on day 1 and then never again. Inside the home was mainly as described despite the abundance of bugs that we soon learned extended beyond the kitchen. The TV didn't work so we had to use tape to keep the wires in and, after a lot of finagling, we finally got that to work. Lastly, the trash issue... they require you to bring all trash to the dump. Which we tried to do but got berated by the man working at dump saying we weren't allowed to do that and the owner should know this. I guess it's a recurring issue as he said next time he's calling the cops. That made for a fun last morning. For the price we paid we expected more

Perfect Hideaway

I found this rental last minute and was so grateful that I did. The space was relaxing and peaceful and my 7-year-old son loved the pool, jacuzzi, and the spacious backyard. The location was convenient for our needs (5 min. from a grocery store) and only 30 minutes away from a beach. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a break from the high-speed pace of life and need to reset. I could've used a couple more days. :-) Thank you Marie!

Amazing house with pristine pool

I stayed at the house for over a week with my whole family (11 total), and we had an excellent stay! The pictures don't really do the house justice, as it is serene, thoughtfully decorated, and well appointed. There is ample outdoor space, and the outdoor areas are lovely (as is the view of the river from the deck). The pool and hot tub were pristine, and the kids practically lived in the pool when we weren't at the beach or sightseeing. Marie was incredibly responsive, and we had a wonderful time!

Peaceful and Fun

This was a great spot for our multi-family vacation. I had my parents and 2 siblings with their families including 6 children from ages 4-16, and the house +cabins fit us perfectly! So many amenities to keep everyone entertained during the day, mainly in the beautiful in-ground pool! Nights at the fire pit or on the huge back deck playing games. Located on a large secluded lot right on a small river.. so we could play in the yard, kayak, paddle board, or sit in peace. But close enough to a Main Street to grab any groceries or an afternoon ice cream. The house is big enough to fit everyone comfortably, but perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities like us! We made so many happy memories and had such a fun time! Thank You.
