One could not ask for more than a cozy cottage, a friendly and helpful owner, in a lovely part of the world. We listened to birds sing, watched the sun rise at a nearly by nature preserve, turned the beautiful, nearby church yard of the historic St. Columba chapel, and drove to the nearby, sandy Middletown beaches. It's a beautiful area, if you enjoy nature and nearby good markets and restaurants you cannot go wrong to stay in this comfortable and well stocked cottage set in a beatufil yard with great furnishings.

The home is well appointed and the linens are so very nice, The kitchen has everything!! Overall a delightful home to return to after a day at the beach or spending the day seeing the sights in Newport. Definitely will return. Thank you Lori for creating such a lovely place to vacation.

Lori’s cottage was the perfect spot for a girl’s trip in Newport. It was stocked with every amenity we could ask for and was a convenient location to get into town or the beach. It was super quiet and private- we really enjoyed the outdoor furniture and shower! Easy communication with Lori before and during the stay. Will absolutely be staying here again on our next trip.

I value a quiet, sound sleep, especially when I’m on vacation, and this little cottage delivered that and more! The cottage is very clean and because it was just me who stayed there, it was just the right size. The kitchen provided adequate supplies for a short stay like mine. The shower worked well and the cottage was nice and cool during the high temperatures we were experiencing. The location was out of the fray of Downtown Newport, but the directions were a little hard to understand. I wasn’t quite sure where the driveway was for the cottage when I first arrived in the dark of night, but I found it with a little guesswork. Wireless and tv worked well. Lori was an excellent communicator and a gracious host. She welcomed me with a nice gift and there was an excellent book with instructions and information right in the table upon entering the cottage. I wanted for nothing while I was there and would definitely return on another trip to the Newport/Jamestown area.

We stayed for a week at Lori's cottage, which sits bordering a bird sanctuary. The cottage is exactly as described, and Lori, our host, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She provided suggestions for the local area, greeted us with cut flowers, and was very responsive to any questions. She was the perfect host.
The house is a cozy 2-bedroom cottage with comfy beds and lovely linens. Light and airy bedrooms made for a good night's sleep, and waking up to the birds singing was a treat. It has a small bathroom with a good shower and a well-equipped kitchen. We cooked most nights, and the very modern stove made it an easy task. Everything was provided, just like in a home kitchen. The outdoor shower is a must-try! The property is only a short 10-minute drive from the downtown area, and it was so nice being in the country. The silence and the clean air were rejuvenating.
We did lots of sightseeing around the area during the day, but our favorite moments were having coffee on the porch for the dawn chorus in the morning and coming home at the end of the day to enjoy the property at sunset with evening drinks and nibbles on the porch. It was hard to drive away at the end of our stay!
I can highly recommend the cottage. It was such a great place to wind down and slow life for a minute. Lori was a superb host, and we can't wait to come back again.

Lori’s cottage was a wonderful place for us to escape to for a few days. We loved the location. 10 minutes from plenty of attractions. The cottage is comfortable and extremely peaceful. Took every shower in the outdoor shower taking in the sun and birds. We highly recommend her cottage if you’re in need of some down time!

Lori was a wonderful and attentive host - has thought of everything you might need at the cottage and during your stay. Beautiful, serene location close to town but country setting. Highly recommend it, and hope we will be back!

We had a great time staying at Lori’s rental in Middletown. This was our second time renting her property. We stayed with our 3 young children and it was great! They loved the fire pit and s’mores. The outdoor area/pergola was great to sit outside at when we got takeout. The location is wonderful and close to everything. Would absolutely recommend!

I want to say that this property is quite the gem. It was within a nook of town that really made you feel a part of an escape. Yet, you were still close enough in short drive to get to city life if needed. The space was big enough for everyone and we were able to spread out comfortably. I really appreciated the cleanliness and the smores packet. The beds were comfortable as well.

The cottage is very charming and so perfectly located near beautiful beaches and a short distance to historic Newport. Lori tips for local eating spots and grocery shopping were so helpful. She is a very attentive host and helped to make our stay memorable.

My wife and I stayed at this quaint, immaculately clean and beautifully appointed cottage for 6 days. We were able to drive a short distance into Newport for shopping and dining, in addition to having our choice of three beaches within a few miles of the cottage. I cannot say enough about the our stay in Middletown, in large part accentuated by staying at this cottage. We will return.

This was our last stop on a 2 week New England road trip & although it’s hard to choose a favorite spot, I think it’s safe to say we saved the best for last. This cottage exceeded my expectations from the start. It is absolutely adorable, comfortable & has everything you could want including a great AC system. We were greeted with some sweet surprises & a handwritten note from the owner. The location was so quiet yet close enough to everything. It was such a nice spot to come home to after a day of exploring. We enjoyed watching movies on the couch at night & relaxing on the outdoor couches. The owner was so kind & easy to communicate with. I definitely hope to come back to this beautiful cottage again someday.

We had a lovely stay at Lori's cottage. It is tucked away for the utmost privacy, but close to the beaches and Sweet Berry Farm. Loved sitting on the porch and looking at the garden and using the outdoor shower! Would definitely recommend!

This little beach cabin is a great find. Ample room for my wife and I with our toddler, equipped with everything you need, and really thoughtful touches throughout. We loved playing in the yard, we made s'mores, and enjoyed the quiet of being by the conservation area while still just minutes away from bustling Newport. We hope to be back here again!

Peaceful and well kept cottage. Beautiful backyard with relaxing Gas fire and wildlife all around. Close to beaches, away from the crowds, and short drive to Cliff Walk and downtown. Small welcoming touches from the host were very much appreciated :-)
Would stay here again and hope to do so!

We had a very easy check in and lovely stay. The cottage was the perfect size and very clean and well kept. We loved the fire pit and making s’mores. The tv was easy to hook up to and the skylights were great. Kitchen was fully loaded and the towels were plentiful and really nice quality. The parking was a little tight to turn around each time we pulled in. Check out I was expecting to have to do more, but it was nice to just leave the key. I didn’t see any other instructions for checkout in the app, and Lori had messaged us that morning. We found the blankets later in the trip in the living room in the table storage which we didn’t need. The beds were firm mattresses which were fine we just aren’t firm mattress people haha. We visited for a wedding for our best friends at the Wyndham and the location of this property was PERFECT. We enjoyed the bird sanctuary too. The AC’s in three locations kept the whole house cool and comfortable during some very hot/humid days. Thanks again Lori for sharing this property with us!

The cottage was exatly as advertised. Peaceful, quiet, right up next to a larger bird sanctuary. We walked down to the beach and enjoyed coffee in the backyard early in the morning. Remarkably a hurricane came through and owner was responsive, helpful, supportive and did all she could to keep us safe and comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated, clean, and well maintained. It’s also on a nice piece of property, bordered by a stone wall and shaded by maples, willows, a black walnut tree, an eastern white pine, etc. There are several outdoor seating areas: a small back deck with a table and four chairs, a front porch, an outdoor large dining table, and an area with couches and a fire pit table. There’s also an indoor dining room. The kitchen is of modest size, but is well stocked and has a full-size fridge, oven, dishes, pans, spices, etc. Recommended!

We enjoyed our stay at this beach cottage. It was great for our family of four (kids ages 8 and 6). Very close to several beaches, a great coffee shop, meat market, fish market, and many restaurants! An easy drive to Newport, for quick access to all of Newport's sites, restaurants, and beaches, but away from the hustle and bustle in a quiet neighborhood. It likely would not be big enough for a larger party, but was great for the four of us!

The property was very well maintained, clean, and the proprietors went out of their way to make us feel welcomed, by being available yet not intrusive. This included a guide book they made with their personal recommendations highlighted - which we used extensively(!) As noted in other reviews, the smores were a nice touch and we were happy to use the propane fire pit. We booked without knowing the area, and we were happy to discover it was in a great location next to the bird sanctuary (we took a hike up to hanging rock). We enjoyed every short drive into town as we admired the view and watched the surfers each time we passed. Thanks for underlining Benjamin's Raw Bar - we were happy to have scored one of the two window seats. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed at Lori's place for 3 nights. It was perfect. So close to Newport, but not within the city which was nice. Very quiet neighborhood. The cottage was well furnished, clean, easy to locate. The restaurant suggestions were perfect for us. We loved to twin lobster rolls at Easton Beach! It was very easy to communicate with Lori, she answered all questions immediately. Would highly recommend this cottage!!

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was as expected and the house was nice and clean too! Our host stopped over quickly to offer her assistance. We had a fire in the back garden, watched the Kentucky Derby and woke to the serene environment of the front porch both mornings.
There were 4 adults. We will be back~

Great location away from it all but close enough to ride your bike to the beach. Super clean. Really nice floorplan. Bedrooms are located apart and it makes each bedroom private. There are multiple skylights. Loved our stay here. Lori was wonderful. She went over and above to make our stay great. We would absolutely stay here again.

This is a nice cozy cottage with enough space for our family of four. The cottage was newly renovated and the furniture was comfortable, there is a separate heating control in the guest bedroom. We stayed for a weekend in the mid of February, the indoor fireplace and supplied firewood came handy and kids had lots of fun roasting marshmallows. Lori the owner was very friendly and helpful, she got us a new hairdryer when she found out we needed one! The location is great, within a mile to a couple of beaches and a bird sanctuary, we were able to have nice walks on the beach and picked up a few shells even during winter. Highly recommended.
