The location was great! We kayaked on the lake, walked the dog on different trails (loved the Ocean View just past the Kettle Pond Visitor Center), and used the beach pass daily. The house was dated but better than the pictures and better than what we expected when we booked so absolutely no complaints!

It lacked the super clean feeling of a newer place, but it was pretty nice besides that. Nice beds, nice size, nice linens, nicely appointed kitchen (even though small and simple) and a great view of the lake. I loved the fire pit.

This was our first stay at this property. I must say the listing pictures do not do this place justice. It was cozy, comfortable, clean and well stocked with many extras. Fire pit and wood, grill, linens washer/dryer and a killer screened front porch to view the beautiful pond. It was perfect for us. I loved that we were on the Vin Gormley trail and that we could walk directly into Burlingame S.P. We found a lovely little beach that our dog thoroughly enjoyed. Down the quiet dirt road in the other direction was a boat launch and swim area. It was the most relaxing vacation we have had in a long time. The house is also in a perfect location to venture to Newport but away from the crazy beach traffic and crowds. We had such a lovely time!

We had a nice stay. The grandkids really liked the bunkbeds, and playing board games. The home was well stocked with cleaning supplies and paper products. We brought our own, not knowing what was there but didn't even need to bring laundry detergent because there was plenty already. Make sure to bring your own condiments, etc, but there is a Walmart about 10 minutes away to purchase food and supplies. The beaches were in close proximity, most within 10-15 minute drive. We purchased a State beach pass online because the beach pass provided by the owner is only good for the Charlestown town beach. We wanted to experience all of the nearby beaches, so it was worth purchasing the pass(its good for the entire summer season). House is located on a dirt road directly across from the "pond", which is really the size of a lake. There is a boat ramp nearby and would be a great place to kayak, etc. The road had a lot of potholes which did make it difficult for bicycle riding, but in all fairness we arrived less than a week after the hurricane, which was also why the state park was closed for cleanup of fallen trees, etc. We had a nice campfire on our last night in the fire ring provided, roasting marshmallows and star gazing.

Property described accurately Great Hosts

My wife and three kids( 6,5,4) had an awesome time at the house. Great access to a clean lake right across the street with a beach down the road. Could probably spend the whole week at the lake but also has a beach pass to the town ocean beach was an unexpected bonus! Well stocked and we needed nothing to be comfortable and have relaxing vacation. Thanks for having us!

Great location across the street from Wachaug Pond in Charlestown, RI, great swimming pond esp for small children. Only 2 miles to Ocean Beaches, Town parking pass included.

We had a nice week at this quiet lakeside cottage. Convenient to beaches, hikes and NewPort. Todd was quick to answer any problems and questions.

We’ve stayed here several times. It’s always clean and comfortable and the owners stay right on top of any issues.

Spent a week at the cottage. Great location to lake and hiking. One of our best family vacations.

This home was such a wonderful quiet week getaway that offered a spacious backyard, a cute sun porch, and an old-cape interior that I immediately fell in love with. It felt safe and quiet and so peaceful right near the lake! We loved our stay and would 100% return for another vacation! The pictures do not do the home justice, it is so comfy and cozy! The home owners were also very communicative and engaged whenever we had questions, which we really appreciated! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

We arrived having no idea that the rental was just across the street from glorious Watchaug Pond! The location was perfect, quiet and relaxing! The flowers on the property were abundant, blooming and beautiful! The back yard afforded us a pleasant spot to enjoy breakfast & lunch. The house was comfortable and roomy with plenty of towels, pillows, etc. The front porch was a favorite for most of us during the early morning hours...we could read or write with no interruptions. For my husband & I, it was actually a most enjoyable working vacation. Our company loved that they could drive to local ocean beaches, take long walks at Ninigret Park or head out to local restaurants in minutes or stay at the house and read, take a nap or play games. We'd definitely like to return to this house. Thank you for the comfortable retreat.

The description is really accurate, and the house is very spacious and pleasant. It's right across a small road from a beautiful lake, but there's not a great swimming set-up right there, it's easier to walk 5 minutes to the beach. Everything was clean, comfortable, and in good condition, and communication with the owners was very easy. Good value!
