This was a last-minute getaway so we were pleased to find such a great place available. Lots of space - and lots of art and cozy spots to sit! Especially loved the screen porch.
5.0
The home is every bit as charming as advertised, and there is no square inch without evidence of the owner's artistic temperament. It is about a half mile from South Beach/Goose Wing Preserve, which we took advantage of every day. The beach is uncrowded and very beautiful. We had not been to Little Compton/Tiverton for several years, and we found plenty to do. Our host, Abby, was very attentive, and when one minor internet issue arose, she and her husband Len jumped on it. We look forward to returning.

We had a wonderful stay at Abby and Len's Art Barn. The house was absolute perfection. Plenty of cozy nooks for us to each have a good dose of peace and quiet. The backyard with the wildflowers and the bunnies was also a favorite spot to sit and read. The property is on a very quiet private road, and we enjoyed being away from all the sounds of traffic etc. We would stay here again in a heartbeat - and we most deffinitely did not want to leave. Thank you Abby and Len!

Thank you, Abby & Len - We loved the house and all its amenities, artwork and charm...inside and out, the property was spectacular and provided for a wonderful vacation. We hope to be back again!

Beautifully designed and built by the owners, this “barn” was delightful to have as our temporary home. Filled with artwork and books on art, it made for a wonderfully relaxing place. We ate most of our meals on the spacious screened-in porch. It was a serene setting and close to a beach and farmers’ market. Abby was a gracious and helpful host, certainly deserving of 5 star status.

A house you set foot in & never want to leave, but for strolls down the lane with the lure of the ocean nearby & promise of morning & evening walks along the shore, dipping a toe in or just plain going for it.

Tranquility and Artistry
Our second stay here was everything we expected it to be. The art-filled home is lovely, and has all of the comforts and equipment you could want.
It is ideal for one or two couples, and especially for fans of the culinary and visual arts.

This is a beautiful home with every creature comfort. The paintings are masterful, the reading selection eclectic and interesting, and the gardens as creatively designed as the house itself. Owners were very accommodating...even buying new yard games after our inquiry of available outdoor activities.

Little Compton Bliss
My husband and I had wonderful stay at this lovely property. The home and grounds are really special and so peaceful. My favorite thing was deciding which lovely space to sit and have a conversation, read a book, etc. I loved the screened in porch, the back patio, the front porch - and all the inside spaces. And if you like to cook, the kitchen Is very well-stocked. Bonus: outdoor shower was phenomenal. Truly loved this spot and hope to return again in another season! Thank you Abby & Len!

Ultimate in relaxation
Abby and Len have a beautiful, unique home with an abundance of stunning and varied pieces of art, including many of Abby's own paintings. As they say in the listing, it is not a beach house per se, but it is a very short drive or ride to several public and semi-private beaches (i.e., ones you can reach only by bike or on foot).
The owners supply all you need for preparing and serving meals in the house, and multiple options for indoor, outdoor, and hybrid -- screened-in porch -- dining. Not to mention all sorts of places to sit and relax.

Little Compton Getaway
This is a great house, just like it looks in the photos. Abby and Len met us when we arrived and could not have been more welcoming. The house and gardens are beautiful and catch lovely ocean breezes. The location is peaceful and quiet. We look forward to coming again.

Our four days in this house could not have been more perfect. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. Abby and Len really made us feel welcome in their much loved home! We found new treasures every time we looked and this house did wonders for the three of us!!

Beyond Your Imagination
The Artful Barn was way beyond anything that we could have imagined. The house itself, is located in a serene area with many peacefull fields, fruit stands, a lovely beach, and the unspoiled village of Little Compton, was an artistic masterpiece that was furnished by colorful paintings by the owner and other artists. The first floor featured white furniture from Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware that was immaculate. The first floor bedroom was very charming and had its own bathroom. The second floor had a beautiful master suite and a luxurious spa. The kitchen had a sub-zero fridge and all of the cooking equipment that you would need to create goumet meals. The taste and care of the owner is fully reflected in the collection of earthware-colored tableware and unusual lighting. The grounds were filled with beautiful and exotic plants and flowers, topped off with an outdoor shower that is covered by red and orange hibiscus flowers.
The house itself is five minutes from a wonderful beach for small children and several farm stands, along with a general store that sells the best take-out food in the area. There is no traffic in this village, only the same peace and quiet that is projected by the artful barn.
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity!

Amazing home in the perfect location!
We had an amazing week with our family in the Artful Barn. Abby was a wonderful host full of great recommendations (we discovered LC Surf Camp and Sakonnet Vineyards thanks to her!). Her home is absolutely beautiful, in an idyllic country setting, and is perfectly located directly in-between the Commons and the beach. The backyard is elegant and is situated so nicely for sunsets and the outdoor shower after the beach is the perfect way to end the day. If you want to experience the tranquility of Little Compton in a first-class setting, this is your house.

Second times the charm!
This was our second consecutive year staying at 'The Artful Barn'. Once again, we had a wonderful stay in this magical house. The house has everything you could possibly ask for and then some. The location is perfect! It sits on the end of a very quiet cul de sac and is a short drive to the beach and town. I also recommend a trip over to Westport, MA if you have the time.

This house was perfect for a relaxing sea side getaway.
The house was beautiful inside and out. It really could be in a magazine. No detail was left undone. It was super clean and well kept. Guests that came to visit us could not believe the wonderful artwork and beautiful grounds. We were impressed with the secluded back yard and screened in porch. A lot of the furniture was from pottery barn and super comfortable. Even though we were fairly close to home, it really did feel like we were away on vacation. The house was well stocked with everything you would need to feel comfortable and at home. We would highly recommend renting this home.

Beautiful and relaxing stay
The house was spacious and clean and looked exactly as pictured on the listing. Abby was a wonderful host as she was great with communication. The house is filled with art, flowers, and ample dining and lounging areas. We loved the screened in porch and enjoyed exploring the cute town of Little Compton. The house is so close to organic farm stands and the beach. I wish we could of stayed longer and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is interested in a getaway beach vacation.

An amazing space!
We rented the property on short notice and couldn't believe our good fortune when we arrived. The house was meticulously clean and the art work EVERYWHERE was just incredible. You can easily spend hours just wandering around the home itself to examine the interesting works of art. The floor plan for the house is also very welcoming and has a terrific flow to it. The outdoor seating area, and shower, are both wonderful. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We hope to have a chance to return in the near future!
