As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Life can get pretty noisy, so we have to prioritize finding time to relax. If I don’t have much time, I like to sit in my backyard, underneath my two massive trees, and enjoy the quiet. If I’m lucky, deer will stop by to graze. Those times are oh-so-sweet but often too short, so when I’m traveling I look for somewhere to stay that allows me to reconnect with nature. These charming vacation rentals in Rhode Island promise that opportunity.
Start your days at this farmhouse in South Kingstown with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of juice on the screened-in porch that's surrounded by lush foliage. Nestled on 40 acres, this darling home was built by the owner's great-grandfather in 1906, which means it's old-school. You'll enjoy quite a few modern amenities - wifi, a washer and dryer, and cable TV - but the home doesn't have a dishwasher or A/C, so keep that in mind when booking this pet-friendly retreat. The home itself promises plenty of space, including four bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, and can easily accommodate up to eight guests. If you feel like venturing out and exploring, you won't be far from several freshwater ponds, a beach, and bike paths.
Large windows allow for an abundance of natural light to flow into this modern log cabin in Westerly. You'll have no trouble reconnecting with nature as you stroll along the three-acre property that features a wraparound porch with rocking chairs and swings, a fire pit, and an outdoor shower. The three-bedroom, two-bath home comfortably sleeps up to seven guests and is dog-friendly. Enjoy dozens of modern amenities, including wifi, A/C, and a full kitchen. If you feel like lounging on the beach, you'll be just five miles from the beaches in Charlestown and Westerly.
Glorious sunsets await when you check into this beautiful lakefront cottage in Johnston. If the weather cooperates, you'll find yourself drawn to the outdoor space that features a patio and deck, a gazebo, and a garden. While away the hours drinking in the fresh air or relaxing in this charming three-bedroom, two-bath home that sleeps up to eight guests.
