This is my third summer that I have stayed at this beautiful Wickford home and being a part of the village makes it very special. Walking to town to visit shops and restaurants is both relaxing and convenient. This year I visited the Beavertail museum in Jamestown and learned a wealth of lighthouse history. I do enjoy the nearby North Kingstown beach for swimming and birdwatching. Thank you so much Ross for sharing your lovely home once again and looking forward to returning in September.

Such a special historic home, beautifully restored with all the amenities. We loved walking to the stores and waterfront restaurants in Wickford. The close proximity to Newport and Jamestown was perfect for short day trips. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

I just returned from spending a week at Ross’s beautiful Wickford home. I visit twice each year and I always enjoy so many special experiences each time. This visit I took the commuter train at Wickford Junction to visit my daughter in Boston. What a gem this station is so close to the house. I do enjoy early mornings and late afternoons at the nearby North Kingstown beach. Walk to Gardner’s Wharf Seafood for delicious take out. The village Main Street and neighborhood walks provide all nearby dining and shops. The John H. Chafe Nature Preserve just a few miles north was a pleasant forest beach trail walk. I am a RI girl and will look forward to my return next summer.

We had a wonderful stay at the Aaron Peck House. Everything was perfect from the stocked kitchen to the comfortable beds. Ross is a great host & was available easily by text or phone. We can’t wait to return!

Ross thank you again for sharing your amazing home in Wickford Village.. This was my third visit and each time I find it more special for this Rhode Island girl to return home.
Location is outstanding to restaurants, shops and bakery/ cafe. I purchased a non resident beach car pass at the town hall this year and the convenience of driving to the nearby beach was absolutely a plus.
The rooftop deck was quite pleasant for reading and watching the boats in the harbor. My daughter loved the contemporary furnishings with the historic home features. Hopeful to return next summer once again.

Property is excellent:
Location: Location is perfectly situated in quiet, historical Wickford, RI. You can relax certainly relax there (plenty of shopping and restaurants) or venture to nearby Narragansett, Jamestown, Newport, Providence, or Boston.
Property Condition: Although the home was built in 1785, it has been meticulously renovated to blend modern amenities (AC, modern furnishings, beautiful kitchen) without sacrificing the historical character. Great care was taken when remodeling this home.
Amenities: the house comes with everything you need to feel at home. Plenty of dishes, utensils, grill with all tools. Appliances appear to be fairly new and gently used.
We will stay again here again. I can't say enough good things about our experience here.

Ideally located in the heart of Wickford Village, the Aaron Peck House (1785) envelopes you in both history and comfort. Lovingly maintained by the host family, the historic home makes you feel welcome and part of a story that stretches back to our country's infancy. The combination of historic and modern is so well done that you almost feel like the home has merely evolved with time. Set amongst other storybook homes and gardens, quaint shops and cafes, sailboats in the marina ready for sea, the home's backdrop is quintessential Rhode Island and New England. Although the location is ideal for exploring all of the Ocean State's natural beauty and cultural treasures, the home and village make it difficult to leave. Bring your camera, sense of wonder, a few good books, and not much else as the hosts and home provide everything you need to add your chapter to this historic home's story.

This property is a wonderful location and does not disappoint. Walking distance to Wickford Village. Very old home with all the modern "stuff" you need or want. We're over 60 so the streaming TV left us a bit baffled but nothing a good book didn't solve. Great history and easy to get to Newport and other areas. We'd go back again.

Historic house with modern upgrades and cozy elements. The kitchen was our favorite place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. The corner nook is so cozy and welcoming with its bench cushions and little pillows. So lovely to unwind in this sunny open space and gaze out at the treetops. Also we so enjoyed walking down historic Main Street and gazing at the historic homes. We felt like we were on the set of an autumn Hallmark movie. Thank you Ross for being such an awesome host. You thought of everything to make our stay absolutely delightful!

Amazing stay! We never considered staying outside of Newport but glad we found this gem and discovered Wickford Village. The house and the town are even more impressive in person than they are in photos! The house is well-appointed, tastefully decorated and located in a great spot just down the street from the water. Communicating with Ross was easy and informative. We can't wait to return!

Lovely 230 year old home, with all the modern conveniences, surrounded by beautifully maintained historical homes. 3 minute walk to downtown shops and great restaurants......a one minute walk to the town harbor from your front door and the blue sea! Sit down the on a bench and relax. If you like to walk this is the place to be. Great place, great location. Wonderful host, Ross.

I rented out this property for two colleagues visiting the local office. It was a perfect place for "out of towners". The location is VERY walkable to all of the best restaurants and local shops, looks out to the Wickford harbor and it's also close to both the Providence and Boston airport. In addition, it was very clean and I felt extremely safe during this pandemic! Ross is a very hospitable host which made the stay even better. Definitely renting out this Wickford abode next time my collogues come to visit :)
