The Major Thomas Fenner House: An Historic Retreat
Mit Ausnahme bestimmter Premium-Termine akzeptieren wir nur Reservierungen von weniger als 7 Tagen, wenn das Ankunftsdatum innerhalb von 30 Tagen liegt, es sei denn, andere Gäste haben unmittelbar vor oder nach dem gewünschten Aufenthalt. Wir tun dies, damit Gäste, die einen Aufenthalt von 7 Tagen oder länger suchen, nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Sie können jederzeit eine Anfrage stellen, da ich in Kürze einen weiteren Gast buchen werde, der die von Ihnen angeforderten Daten bearbeitet oder befolgt. Wenn Sie noch nach einer Unterkunft suchen, die näher an Ihre Ankunft kommt, überprüfen Sie bitte unseren Kalender. Wenn wir eine Reservierung haben, die Ihrer Anfrage unmittelbar vorangeht oder folgt, werden wir Sie kontaktieren.
Falls bereits ein Gast an dem Tag ausgecheckt ist, an dem Sie einchecken, oder an dem Tag, an dem Sie auschecken, einchecken müssen, müssen wir die Check-in- oder Check-out-Zeit um eine Stunde anpassen, um ausreichend Zeit zu haben für die Haushälterin.
Das Major Thomas Fenner House wurde 1677 erbaut und ist das älteste Haus in den Providence Plantations. Es ist eines der wenigen ursprünglichen Steinhäuser, die es gibt. Der 2.400 qm 4 BD 2 BA Haus liegt auf 3 Acres Land Abstellgleis Stone Pond. Wenn Sie auf dem Stony Acre Dr. angekommen sind, biegen Sie kurz vor dem Stoppschild die lange Auffahrt ab. Sie verlassen ein Wohnviertel aus den 1970er Jahren, um eine ruhige Umgebung zwischen alten Bäumen zu entdecken, die Sie in eine Zeit der frühen Kolonialzeit in Rhode Island zurückversetzen.
Das Haus wurde einige Monate nach König Phillips Krieg, in dem die Siedler Häuser wurden niedergebrannt gebaut. Ursprünglich als 2 ½-stöckiges Gebäude gebaut. 5 "x 18" Pfosten und Balkenrahmen auf einem Feldsteinfundament mit einem massiven Steinkamin. Die ursprüngliche Feuerraum, Schlafraum, Dachboden und Keller sind sehr viel, wie sie gebaut wurden. In den 1700er Jahren wurden Ergänzungen der Süden und Westen aufgenommen und in den 1920er Jahren eine Dachgaube auf die ihm einen Salz-Kasten-Stil und einen Innen Badezimmer gelegt.
Das Haus diente als Wohnhaus, Hof, Veranstaltungshaus und Taverne. Google Major Thomas Fenner Bär zu seinem Original-Rezept für Bier zu sehen.
Das Haus wurde im Jahr 1990 in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen und ist das Juwel der frühen Rhode Island Häuser.
Der jetzige Besitzer brachte das Haus wieder in den Fenner Familie im Jahr 2006 nach 90 Jahren Pause mit der Mission setzt ihre Erhaltung für weitere 330 Jahre. Im Jahr 2015 entschied sich der Eigentümer das Eigentum zur Verfügung zu stellen, wie ein Ferienhaus zu helfen, es selbst zu unterstützen und für die Öffentlichkeit und architektonischen und historischen Gelehrten einen besseren Zugang zu der Wohnung zu ermöglichen. Das Haus ist mit Antiquitäten, Stilmöbeln und Möbeln im Kolonialstil eingerichtet. Die Einrichtung bietet das Ambiente eines historischen Hauses und bietet seinen Gästen dennoch einen komfortablen Aufenthalt mit modernen Annehmlichkeiten (Inneninstallationen, vier Flachbildfernseher, WLAN und Alarmsystem), die die historische Natur des Hauses nicht beeinträchtigen. Denken Sie daran, dieses Haus war vielleicht fünf Sterne, wenn gebaut haben, aber rustikal ist eine bessere Beschreibung heute.
Zu den architektonischen Wundern des Hauses gehört der massive Feldsteinkamin an der Nordseite des Hauses, weshalb diese Häuser als "Steinkauzchen" bekannt sind. Das Dachfenster links neben dem Schornstein hat die Größe der ursprünglichen Fenster mit dreieckigen Glasscheiben, die aus England importiert wurden. Die Pfosten-Riegel-Konstruktion ist der alte Wachstums virgin Balkenwerk. Schauen Sie sich die Größe der Sommer (Holzbalken über offener Kamin) durch Öffnen der Tür zum Hauswirtschaftsraum und Blick hinauf auf der linken Seite. Hier befindet sich auch die Umschaltung auf den Scheinwerfer, der den Kamin beleuchtet. Der Kamin ist 10 Meter breit und über 5 ½ Meter hoch. Um den Kamin zu öffnen und zu schließen, drücken Sie die Metallstange auf der rechten Seite des Kamins nach oben und ziehen Sie sie nach unten. Der Granit unter, vor und Abstellgleis Kamin ist die ursprüngliche Küche. Eine Schwermetallleiste kann durch Nachschlagen der Schornstein zu sehen. Dies wurde verwendet, um Töpfe hängen als auch kochen Dreibeintöpfe sitzen in der Glut wie die in der hinteren linken Seite des Kamins. Sie können den flachen Bienenstockofen im hinteren Teil des Schornsteins sehen, der aufgrund der Tatsache, dass zu viele Frauen ihre Kleider während des Kochens in Brand geraten, aus der Mode kam. Die großen Bodenbalken, die im Keller zu sehen sind, wurden nur 5 Zoll voneinander entfernt platziert und diesen Balken wird die Ehre zuteil, dass das Haus noch in den Jahren des 4. Jahrhunderts steht. Auf dem Dachboden sind die markanten Narben von Schnittholz zu sehen, das „in der Grube gesägt“ wurde.
Es war eine neue Tradition Englands, dem Brautpaar zwei Zucker-Ahorns zu geben, damit sie in ihrem Hinterhof pflanzen könnten, damit sie Ahornzucker für das Leben hätten. Die Ahornbäume hinter dem Haus wurden wahrscheinlich in der 2. Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts gepflanzt. Die Speisekammer neben der Essecke aus der linken Seite des Haupt Kamin verschoben worden, aber es ist das Original 1677 Speisekammer.
Während eines Zeitraums mit Standardtarifen werden Reservierungen von weniger als 7 Tagen nur innerhalb von 30 Tagen nach Belegung oder dann akzeptiert, wenn eine bestehende Reservierung sofort ausgeführt wird oder folgt.

Although I was born and raised in Rhode Island, I settled in Texas in 1996 and raised my family there. I was able to bring my fiancé, 5 of my children, a son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and 2 grandchildren on a Rhode Island adventure and wanted to find a place that would accent the trip. I struck gold in choosing the Fenner House! The home transported my family and me back to the 17th and 18th century and each one of us loved the experience! The home was tidy, the rates were very fair, and the colonial interior design was amazing! By the time we packed up to leave, there was a sense sadness we all felt. We made lifelong memories that spanned generations and we wished we could stay longer. There is not a thing I would change and no a single improvement I could recommend. Kudos and thank you to the owners of the Major Thomas Fenner House! I highly recommend a stay to any family looking for a great New England experience!

Our family of five had a wonderful time in the Fenner House. The stairs to the second floor are steep and creaky, not for anyone with mobility issues. But it was fine for our family.

Great communication with Richard during this entire process. The property is a history lesson in and of itself - very surreal for my family. We enjoyed our stay, and definitely recommend this property to all cultures of people to take in all the intricate details of the property, and Rhode Island's historic past.

This property is amazing. It’s such an old building, but it’s kept in phenomenal shape. The only deterrent would be the smokiness in the air from the fireplace, if you have asthma it may cause some breathing issues for sure. Other than that though there is nothing negative I can say about the place. The property is huge and offers plenty of space to spread out — both inside AND out! The outdoor area was a highlight for our group especially. Richard was great with answering any questions we had leading up to our check-in. It’s also within 20-30mins of the beaches! I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away in Rhode Island.

Overall, this house is a wonderful place to stay. It has a good location with a Walmart and other conveniences less than 2 miles away. In addition, for a historical house, it is very well kept. The owner was wonderful with contacting me from the beginning and even checking on our family during our stay. Definite 5-stars for the owners. My only caution would be for anyone who has severe allergies, as this is an older home, and because of that, we did take air purifiers with us, which helped a lot for us to be able to stay there because my allergies are extremely severe. But I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on the opportunity to stay in such history. Thank you so much, Fenner family, for opening this up for so many to enjoy.

historical home
I booked this property because of the history of the property. I wanted a unique experience outside standard hotel rooms. What a treat. Everyone in my family thoroughly enjoyed the home. We walked around the inside of the home and discovered something new every time. The floors are original from late 1600's so if this is not your scene - I wouldn't recommend this property. But if you have an appreciation for things still around for over 300 plus years (including trees in the backyard) I would highly recommend this property. We had my grandson (who is 10 months old and very curious) with us and had to watch him very carefully while crawling on the floor because of the uneven floor boards but we put a large blanket on the floor and he was just fine. The hosts were so accommodating to our needs and communication was excellent. Thank you Richard for opening your family home and heritage to us.

Great Experience!
We loved staying at The Thomas Fenner House. It was a truly amazing experience staying in this historic home. Love the Glenwood stove and all the fireplaces. We were a group of 7 and came here to celebrate my son and his fiancée. He proposed to her during the trip at Cliff Walk in Newport. The house had all the necessities we needed and we were comfortable during our stay. Host was very communicative and responsive to any inquiries we had during our stay. Great location and easy access to other areas in Rhode Island that we visited during our trip! I would recommend staying at this house for a trip back in time. A good time was had by all and we left with plenty of memories.
Thank you.

Thank you for preserving this home for overnight guests
I live in Warwick, RI and needed a place for my sister, her husband and 3 children, ages 12-13, to stay for a few days. They were touring New England for their annual summer vacation. This was a perfect place for them to stay to get a more visceral experience of RI and its history. As we opened the key-lock door the smell of over 400 years of wood fires greeted us. I had printed out the informative tour that owner Richard Fenner included on VRBO for his guests. We followed with whetted appetite as we explored nooks and crannies of the house and grounds. My engineer brother-in-law especially enjoyed examining the building structure and exclaimed about the wide width of the floor planks! Nice job on blending the old with contemporary comforts of up to date washer/drye, shower and room AC!

Beautiful historic home!
We stayed last week for the occasion of my son's wedding in Rehoboth, MA. This home is beautifully maintained and the owner has preserved its historical history and character while providing the modern conveniences of A/C, bathrooms and kitchen that are updated and easy to use. My husband loved the history of the house (which is there to read) and I loved the 1600 ambiance. We had a total of 5 adults there for a week and a local friend who stayed 2 nights with us and we all had plenty of room. We used the fireplace only once, but what a thrill to light a few logs on the huge fireplace and listen to the crackle! The home was spotless with plenty of cleaning supplies provided so we could tidy up as the week went along. The location was great as we were central to the wedding and rehearsal dinner locations in North Dighton and Rehoboth. We also went to Newport, Providence and Fall River (Pier 52 is a great place for dinner by the water) as we were not far from any of these places. Thank you to the host (who is very responsive to questions) for making this historical home a comfortable place to stay and enjoy! It is a gem in our book! Hope to stay there again when we come back to the area.

Lots of space and interesting place!
We enjoyed our stay in this historic home. We had plenty of space for our group of 6. The instructions to enter and lock the house we very clear. Communication with and instructions from the host were excellent. We had no complaints other than a few things could have been cleaner. We had an odd experience with a neighbor yelling “no fires” while we were simply walking around exploring the yard. We weren't planning to make a fire, as that was in the instructions for the house. Overall our experience was great. The description is very clear that this house has it’s idiosyncrasies that come with an old, historic home. We found the house charming and interesting. It was a step back in time, while at the same time a comfortable stay.

Great Experience!
Staying at the Major Thomas Fenner House was an awesome experience, that made you feel like you were stepping back into the past. The owner was very attentive to any questions I had, and responded within hours if not minutes from when I’d reach out to him with an inquiry. I loved the guided tour book of the house that was located on the coffee table in the living room that the owner out together. I learned from the guide that members of the Fenner family relocated from Rhode Island to Herkimer County…which is where I live!!! The house, inside and out was well taken care of.
Once again, awesome experience!!! Thank you for everything!!!

A step back in time...
This was definitely an interesting home to stay in. The quirks of being so old simply added to the charm we loved the Glenwood range, absolutely fascinating. Firmer mattresses and attention to a sugar ant issue (I had brought along a vinegar based cleaning spray which helped a lot) would have added to our enjoyment.

Great home but neighborhood issues
The house was amazing. Old vintage and just a beautiful piece of history. No better place to celebrate our great uncles 100th birthday. But if you plan on staying beware the neighbors. So here we go. When we arrived there was a nice fire pit, we were asked to keep the fires small and we did. However anything bigger then a match was an issue with the lady next door. It rained alot so we only had 3 small fires to make smores and just talk. The neighbor was not happy about this. So one day we went out and when we returned the fire pit was gone. The owner apparently sent someone over to fill in the pit and planted a small shrub. I was quite disappointed that i was not advised of this. It was a rental positive for us. But anyway the neighbor was complaining so much i gather this was a fix for her constant complaining. The owner said the cops were called. We never had any contact with police. On july 4th the neighborhood was explosive with fireworks. It was amazing and a beautiful site. Back to the neighbor. We were cooking on the grill on the opposite side of the yard near the barn far from nosey nelly the neighbor. But she still called the fire department on us. Yes the fire department showed up came in and we spoke. The fire lieutenant and his crew were very very upset that they were called when we were simply cooking on a grill. We offered food to the firemen and invited them back later if they got hungry. The fire department went to the neighbor's house and advised her if she called them again for this nonsense she would receive a 500.00 fine from the city for every call. The fire department told me this was there 10th call in 3 weeks from this lady. I dont think there will be an 11th call. Also the other neighbors dog isabel like to come over and poop 2 or 3 times a day. I got a little tired if picking up after isabel. So if you want to stay in an amazing piece of history this is the house for you. I cant say enough about this amazing home. But the neighbor will be a major issue. So keep noise down and beaware when cooking on the grill. But i dont thing the fire department will be called again.

An amazingly beautiful and historic house!
Everyone enjoyed their stay and the accommodations were fantastic. Every basic needs were supplied, such as bathroom and laundry supplies. The neighborhood was nice and I felt safe taking walks. I have no complaints but I will recommend that you DO NOT LIGHT AN OUTSIDE FIRE IN THE FIRE PIT! The fire department showed up and made us put it out. We were told that it is against city policy. You can light one in the main fireplace. 5 stars on this property!

Step back in time to colonial history... with modern convenience
This property is a unique step back in history, dating all the way to colonial times. It is a fascinating place to stay, and the owners have kept so many nods to its history through decorations and furniture. But there are also modern conveniences like a wonderful ground floor shower, security system, NEST thermostat, and outdoor grill. Whether you choose to light a fire in a hearth that is 344 years old, or roam the property abutting the pond, it's a relaxing getaway close to everything you might need.

Awesome Historical house!
The beds were comfortable and the showers were great! The pictures don’t do the house justice when it comes to the experience you get from this house! Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood! Job well done making this old home up to date enough to still have the technology needed in today’s world but still get the old rustic warmth!

The Fenner House is an absolutely wonderful, comfortable, and fascinating place. It is beautifully decorated in colonial furnishings that reflect its place in history. It smells so lovely, like aged wood and autumn by the hearth – a scent that should be pirated by Yankee Candle. The living room is a great place to relax and contemplate the architecture or life in general. The dining room makes one feel that Paul Revere is going to stop in for a bite. The kitchen is well-appointed with plenty of storage space for your Pop-Tarts and everything one might need to prepare a fabulous meal. The bedrooms are cozy with comfortable beds, great furnishings, and room for all your petticoats, puffy shirts, and wigs. The bathrooms seamlessly blend style with modern creature comforts and feel spa-like. The washer and dryer ensure you will have clean duds after avoiding sharks* at the beach. The AC units keep you cool and comfortable in the heat of summer.There are also nooks and crannies everywhere that would make an English muffin jealous. The outdoor space is lovely – perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air and beautiful landscape.Above all, it’s the history of the house that’s the icing on the cake. You must do the self-guided tour. And if, like me, you have a tween you like to annoy, give your kids a quiz at the end. My son was able to chat with his grandfather about floor joists, sleeping rooms, window panes, governors, Oliver Cromwell, and Native Americans with gusto. We sat in the living room, gazing around, imagining what it was like to live here. And before all the modern conveniences were installed that we take for granted today. Cranston is an easy drive to Boston, Newport, Providence, and Cape Code. Mr. Fenner was a pleasure to work with and answered all questions in a timely manner. *We didn’t know Cape Cod = seal (and therefore great white shark) hot-spot. How exciting to spot a purple shark flag after pahking the cah, and enjoy the show of seals all day. There was a shark sighting at our location. A man was swimming well past where the seals were cruising along and refused the lifeguard’s repeated pleas that he return to shallower waters. Lucky for him he did not get chomped. Cue lesson to the children about whether or not certain individuals improve the gene pool. My favorite feature of all? Once home I ordered myself my own tricorn hat. We could all use a little more colonial spirit these days.

Fun place
Seven of us gathered for Thanksgiving and had a great time! What better place to gather and celebrate the holiday than a home that bore witness to our country’s history for over 300 years?! The house was spacious, comfortable and accommodating for all our needs. I only have two tips for future renters 1- the oven is small, so don’t plan on roasting a 20 lb turkey! And 2- many of the VRBO homes I’ve rented in the past have a store of games. This home does not, so, if games are your thing, bring your own. Thanks for the memories!

Like Living in a Museum
The Major Thomas Fenner House was such a neat space to spend the weekend reuniting with our Semester at Sea friends and attending a wedding in nearby Providence. Eight good friends shared this place for the weekend of October 3rd - 6th. The beds were comfortable, the two bathrooms were remodeled and beautiful, hot water was abundant, the kitchen was well-stocked and the living room with a huge, warm, beautiful fireplace was fun to use for late night chats. Larry, the groundskeeper even gave us a tour of the whole property when we first arrived and was so friendly and helpful with all of our questions. It felt like stepping into a 17th century museum. We honestly can't believe that is hasn't been turned into one. Thank you for the clear instructions for arrival and departure and the reasonable price for the property. If we find ourselves in the area again, we will be sure to book this property again. Make sure to ask the owners exact prices for using more than 4 queens beds if needed. We ended up not needing them but the price would've increased had we have needed to use other beds. We had a most enjoyable stay in Cranston, Rhode Island!

7 Adults...with Room to Spare
We just spent 8 nights, with 3 couples and an additional adult. This is a great place and a great stay! There were some negative comments, previously, about the smell of smoke. It was a nonexistent issue, to us. There was an air freshener in the living room. The fireplace is huge. We didn't have a fire...but if you did it wrong, you could certainly get smoke in the living room. Each of the rooms had their own air conditioner. This weeks weather was fantastic...but a couple of us ran the a/c 1-2 muggy nights. Each could control the temperature of our window units. We threw some sausages on the, almost-new gas grill, one night. There is a Walmart, just up the road and very convenient. I was worried that with 7 of us, it might feels a little cramped...but the layout made it a very enjoyable stay, for our son's wedding. The back yard is huge and beautiful. With the pleasant weather, we spent a lot of time, outside, in the comfortable chairs provided, toes in the grass.

Loved it!
We loved this house! The history of it was very intriguing and fun to experience. The home was comfortable and plenty big for our family of 6. It was also stocked with everything we needed. I had to contact the owner in regards to something and his response was immediate. I would definitely stay again, and recommend to anyone, especially if you love history! Thanks Richard!
