The cottage had it all! The attention to detail was incredible from the water already in the coffee maker to poopourri on the tank of the toilet. Spotlessly clean and decorating beautifully. Cozy, quaint, comfortable. I could have stayed and watched the birds at the bird feeders forever! The photos do not reflect the serenity and special touches everywhere.

This was a delightful cottage. It was extremely clean, tastefully decorated, and hospitable in offerings of snacks, drinks, and amenities. My partner loved that there was bird food and hummingbird food in the refrigerator so that she could refill the feeders. In addition to the birds, the squirrels gave us a show with their acrobatics. Be aware that the bathroom is downstairs and the bedroom is upstairs. We had missed that detail in the listing, but there were flashlights at the entry table that helped us stay safe in the middle of the night! The kitchen had everything and more that we needed. We enjoyed tea and espresso every morning thanks to the teapot for the stove and the Nepresso machine. There was also coffee in the fridge and a coffeemaker though we didn’t need it. The bed was very comfortable, as was the couch for sitting downstairs. (That was not true of either at the last place we’d stayed, so it bears mentioning!) I do suggest bringing slippers if you tend to be someone who takes your shoes off at the door. I have several socks with significant pulls from the nails in the wood floor. They aren’t high enough to hurt - just enough to catch socks! Overall, this was an amazing stay. We had no need to reach out to the owners during our stay, but when we did so before booking, they were very responsive.

This was my first road trip without my husband. Serenity is a beautifully decorated cottage that was extremely comfortable. Katherine thought of everything and I could have literally just shown up with my clothes and food - all other supplies were there! A well-stocked bathroom and kitchen. Watching the birds and chipmunks at the bird feeders right outside the slider was mesmerizing. I counted at least a dozen different species, from red belly woodpecker to cardinal to goldfinch, etc. The sitting area outside is set up nicely. I have absolutely not one negative thing to say. I've been to many VRBOs and this one was the most thoughtful in terms of what you need on a vacation. It was clean, the host was accommodating, my 2 small dogs enjoyed the yard and everything was perfect!

What a wonderful little place! You feel like you're tucked away in the woods but you're a quick drive to the beach and fresh seafood. Excellent proximity to Newport and Providence, as well as Westport and Fall Fiver in Mass. The cottage itself was fantastic, more than enough space for the two of us, and quite clean. We would absolutely be willing to stay again.
