This house is EVERYTHING! Stocked & ready to host your family for a big event or just a relaxing getaway. We rented this house for our daughter's wedding at Mt Hope Farm & it was pure perfection. Donna & Bill are the kindest hosts & opened their home to us. The decor, landscaping & overall aesthetic of this home is stunning. Everywhere you look are little details that make this space comfortable & high-end. Thank you for making our celebration truly special.

An awesome house for a wedding. In-law suite was perfect to split the house. Pool was great for bridesmaids to gather. Hosts could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Has everything you could want. Attention to details was 5 stars!

If I could give this home more than 5 start, I would! We have rented many homes and this one far surpassed any other! We booked this home for my daughter’s wedding at Blithewold (right across the street), it could not have been any more convenient. The bridesmaids stayed with us the night before the wedding and got ready on the wedding day. There is so much room for everyone!!! The house is absolutely beautiful, very clean, smells amazing and has anything and everything you would ever need! Christian was very responsive and helpful during the booking process. The owners Bill and Donna met us at the house and showed us around, they were also very helpful with the couple of questions we had. I can promise you, if you book this house, you will not be disappointed! We cannot wait to go back!

This was a charming rental with two houses combined into one large family space. There were 2 kitchens, which was great for a large family. The house was impeccable, with lots of areas to hang out in groups or to sit quietly reading. The hosts were great, welcomed us to the property, gave us tips on the area, and Donna even brought us excellent blueberry muffins from the local farmer's market. They were a great pick-me-up after a long cross-country flight. Would definitely stay again.

We rented this incredible property for a family wedding in Bristol RI. The hosts were very responsive to our questions leading up to our stay often getting back to us immediately. They were commited to making our stay a success. This property is lovely. The home is beautiful...warm, welcoming and impeccably decorated. Everything we needed for 8 adults to get ready for a wedding was provided. The house also had several different areas where groups could hang out and catch up.
The outside areas were beautifully landscaped and provided several spots to gather as well.
Our stay in this property is now part of our wonderful wedding weekend memories!

The house was perfect for our family gathering. It was super helpful to have two kitchens and both were stocked with everything you need to cook. The owners were responsive and extremely nice! We had a great time and would consider renting the home again next summer.

What a wonderful, beautiful home - so comfortable & spacious for a family wedding weekend or any family getaway! Donna met us at the house & made us feel so welcome. We were in town for a wedding at Mt Hope Farm just a short drive away. Our family group included our six year old twin grandsons who absolutely loved the pool & the jacuzzi was used constantly. Many thanks to our hosts for sharing their incredible home with us. We’d love to stay there again. Highly recommend this amazing home.

We stayed here for our daughter's Blithewold wedding. This was the most pleasant surprise of the wedding!
Almost did not do it because it was just one more expense...as anyone hosting a wedding knows - thank heavens we rented this spot! It was fabulous. Photos don't do it justice. House so well stocked - had EVERYTHING you could even imagine needing. Location was wonderful. Everything was spotless. The bride and bridesmaids walked across the street for photos (unexpected bonus - no limo). Added bonus, everything you forget is a quick walk away and you don't need to bring "emergency" items to the venue. Tons of space to get ready, lots of bathrooms, mirrors, etc. Also, there is a separate suite area which was so nice that our bride/groom checked out of their local hotel and stayed with us our last night because the house was nicer. Owners were wonderful and accommodating. This was like borrowing a friend house rather than a short term rental. 11 out of 10.

Had a great weekend at this location! The house is pristine, and you can tell the owners really care that their guests feel like family when staying! They have thought of everything! The pool is wonderful and it was really great to have 2 kitchens! The house is also in a wonderful location!

This property was amazing and had everyone you need for a vacation! Between the check-in process, the communication, the amenities. This place was a dream, and I would highly recommend for those looking to have the best of both worlds, a pool at home and a drive to Newport/the beach!

Our family had a fantastic stay in Bristol. Our hosts were incredibly hospitable. Donna met us to show us the property and explain how things work. We were able to utilize the spacious home and manicured garden and pool. There were even toys available for my young son.
We were visiting the area to attend a wedding at Blithewold Mansion and we were the luckiest guests because the house couldnt have been closer to the venue. All we had to do was walk across the street. Accessing the historic portion of Bristol was also convenient. It was an approximately five minute drive.

Great house! Accommodates many guest. Backyard is gorgeous and house is extremely clean. The 2 full kitchens, many bedrooms, and washer and dryer were also a great bonus! Location is great and not a far ride from Newport!

The perfect location in Bristol for easy access to Blithewold, Portsmouth and downtown Bristol. Not only were the rooms and furniture beautiful and comfortable, but there was plenty of space for our family and an abundance of amenities. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. A true pleasure after a day in the sun and humidity. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts. They were extremely helpful and responsive, and provided us with recommendations in the area. We hope we can visit again in the future!

Home was lovely, there was an abundance of kitchen and general supplies that were extremely handy. Beds were firm but comfortable, all bedrooms and bathrooms were so well appointed and made you feel indulgent!
Property managers were available for questions or instructions (there was a technical glitch with the hot tub pump and pool waterfall was out of order during our stay).
One note, if staying with small children, many doors lead out to pool/jacuzzi and there is no safety fence around the pool/jacuzzi itself.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone for a great vacation.

Excellent location for son’s wedding at Blithewold. A sanctuary of comfort and luxury.
The home features spaciousness and every amenity. 2 “Primary Bedrooms” - king-sized beds, ensuite bathrooms: tile showers, tubs, double sinks and toilet closets. A large alcove off one of the primary bedrooms accommodated our twin grandchildren. There are 3 additional bedrooms with easy access to full bathrooms. The linens were top quality!
The living spaces are unbelievable; literally 3 distinct living/family rooms. All beautifully decorated. The jacuzzi & pool area is perfect for cocktails & cook-outs. The pool is situated into the L-shaped house, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Nice outdoor setting for grilling fresh Swordfish (Andrade’s Market/Bristol) on the brand-new gas grill.
These lovely spaces provided a perfect backdrop for the groomsmen’s photographs.
The most unique aspects of this home are the 2 fully-stocked kitchens. One family could have their own kitchen while we did adult cooking and cocktailing out of the other kitchen. Like have 2 houses, but all together under the same roof. Also, when I say fully stocked…Every appliance, gadget and cooking apparatus you could possibly need. Fully organized and tidy. There are 2 full capacity laundry areas.
Our hosts were awesome. At one point the power went out but generator kicked in immediately. I realized that the owners of this home were not only thoughtful, but had thought of EVERYTHING!. 11 out of 10!

We stayed at this beautiful and large home for a family wedding at Blithewold Mansion. The location could not have been better! The house itself is much larger than expected and the owners could not have been more hospitable! We only wished that it was warmer so that we could enjoy the beautiful pool. I would highly recommend this property!!!

This property was incredible. Driving up to it we were all mislead. It it is massive. Every room had a crisp spring time smell. The host were on site and so accommodating to all of our needs. The beds were comfortable and the shared spaces were inviting and intimate to really bring our group together. I could have not asked for a better place to spend Memorial Day weekend on my wedding day. My wife and I were so Please that we are now considering staying there again for future events. I highly recommend this location for its ambiance and its proximity to other great places in Bristol. This was a perfect experience.

This is the perfect spot if you need a group house for a wedding at Blithewold Mansion. Christian and Donna, the homeowners, were responsive, unobtrusive and helpful. The house is also fantastic and much larger than it appears in photos. Highly recommend.

We loved staying at this beautiful home in Bristol! It had everything we needed and more for our stay and was even more beautiful in person than the pictures. Great location, too. Perfect for hanging out with family!

A mixed group in town for a wedding. The home could not be set up more beautifully, more well stocked, and overall just perfect if you are visiting for the weekend maybe packed with special events. This luxuriously furnished home gives you the chance to relax and just savor the special weekend with friends.

Being from the area but having since moved out of town, the house was a perfect location for us to stay while visiting back home. It is a good distance between Providence and Newport. Perfect hybrid between house and hotel, the stay was not just luxurious it was lavish. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. The owners were professional, kind and courteous, especially after we had left some items behind. If the occasion ever arises, we’d love to work with them again!

We rented this House while we were in RI attending a family wedding. The house is probably better than advertised! It was clean and spacious. Everything we used in the house was a quality product. You can tell that Christian and his family care about the experience that their guests have! The pool and the hot tub were perfect and everyone had an amazing time. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. We are already hoping to plan a longer rental next summer!

We had the best time - house was spacious, beautiful and amazing! My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. Special treats provided by hosts with nice note as well, we felt very welcome and recommendations for food were also great. Bristol is also a beautiful place to visit.

Photos of this house do not do it justice. The house exceeded our expectations. The owners/managers thought about the little details to make their home more inviting. We would absolutely go back.

Can’t say enough good things about this property!
My wife and I stayed at this property for 5 nights with 4 other couples, celebrating our birthdays. We had the intention of hitting the beach, but the pool and backyard were absolutely perfect! (There are plenty of beaches a quick drive away.)
The inside of the house was immaculate, but because of the beautiful weather and backyard, we were only inside to sleep and prepare meals.
The town of Bristol was about a 20 minute walk, filled with great views, shops, places to eat and more!
The owner of the rental property was an excellent communicator as well, quick to answer questions before we got to RI and while we were there.
We can’t say enough about this property and would highly recommend it!

Home away from home (but at a nicer house!)
Super comfortable. Nicely appointed; seemed as if everything was new, and we found everything we needed in the house (we'd never encountered such a complete kitchen, for example). The pool was wonderful, and the hot tub. We spent almost the whole week at the house without exploring the area, grilling up dinners and enjoying a private relaxing environment. Property Manager was very responsive and easy to communicate with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Daughter’s wedding at Mt Hope Farm
The stay at this property was amazing. The grounds are beautiful. It was very accommodating. The hot tub got a lot of use, as the pool. It was a lovely time, our daughter was married at Mt Hope Farm and the proximity to the rental, could not have been better. Thank you for everything and we will keep you in mind for the future.

Amazing Property
Our stay was an amazing experience. The home had everything you could think of. Extremely comfortable and relaxing for our entire party of 11 adults. Homeowner was a pleasure to deal with. Very responsive and couldn’t do enough for us.
We would highly recommend. In fact we all had such a wonderful stay we are thinking of making it an annual event!!! It was difficult to leave.
