Located in South Tiverton this rustic one-bedroom cottage is tucked away one mile south of Historic Tiverton Four Corners on Main Road. Sitting on our 7-acre Christmas Tree Farm the 800 square foot cottage shares a home with us, our barn cat, our dog "Maple" chickens, goats, small fishpond and honeybees. (See website ("Clarks Christmas Tree Farm" for more pictures.) Near beaches, kayaking, SUP'ing, wind, kite & wave surfing, 5 wineries within 10 miles, farms, estuaries, nature preserves, restaurants, excellent road and off-road biking routes. Fogland Beach is 3 minutes away. We are on the Narragansett Bay Wheelmen's popular "Flattest Century in the East" course. Less than 30 minutes to Newport, 15 minutes to Bristol, 20 minutes to New Bedford, 32 minutes from Providence and 60 minutes to Boston. Make your own breakfast with our local coffee with farm fresh eggs (seasonal) and honey from our on-site free ranging chickens and bees. Bike/ride to one of the many seasonal roadside farm stands or coffee shops for more local treats. Please note if you are reading this on any site other than VRBO it is likely a scam - we are listed only on that platform. Located close to beaches, hiking, or exploring SE Rhode Island/Massachusetts scenic coastal villages this is a wonderful spot from which to launch your south coast adventures or just relax and enjoy life on the farm. The cottage has a galley kitchen with a stove, oven, toaster, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, blender and dishwasher. There is also a French press coffee carafe. The kitchen is stocked with condiments including coffee, tea, cream, salt, pepper, sugar as well as honey from our bees. The local fox population has relieved us of our chickens so unfortunately you'll need to stop at one of the local roadside stands for fresh eggs until we can replenish the flock. There is a gas and charcoal grill for guests use as well. The galley kitchen includes a bar with stools for dining. The LR has a sofa and several chairs as well as a television that receives NetFlix, Amazon Prime as well as most cable stations including ESPN, HGTV, HBO, NESN, etc. The cottage also has WiFi. A gas fireplace provides heat for the LR. During the summer months we put an Air Conditioning unit in one of the bedroom windows for additional cooling. Every room has a ceiling fan that can be controlled separately from the lighting. A canopy of trees over the cottage helps keep it cooler in the summer, and there are four skylights to add additional natural light.
The sofa folds out into a bed, and there is also a twin bed in the LR that can be used as additional seating. The Bedroom has a Queen bed, dressers and a closet. While there is a small shower stall in the bathroom, there is an outdoor shower stall on the back of our house that guests are welcome to use when the climate is warm enough. (Our house is on the opposite side of the driveway.) It affords excellent water pressure and a view of the farm while washing off sand from a day at the beach or on the road. We also have a washer/dryer in our basement that guests are welcome to use. Access is from an outside door. While we believe the cottage is ideal for one or two adults, or adults with small children, it does sleep four. Four adults might feel cramped unless you are spending most of your time outdoors since the cottage is 800 square feet total. Besides the queen bed the sofa folds into a bed, and there's a twin that serves as additional seating in the LR when not used for sleeping.
Stays of a week or longer will automatically receive a 7.5% reduction in the base rental fee - stays of 30 days receive a 10% reduction.
PETS: Under limited conditions we will host your well-behaved dog - we have free ranging chickens so are not likely to allow larger dogs or breeds prone to hunting. Unless explicitly approved please don't bring a dog - if we do approve your dog there is an additional $50 cleaning fee. We'd also require that your dog is leashed while on the property and that they are not allowed on the furniture or left alone in the cottage unless they are in a kennel. These restrictions are non-negotiable as they are the result of lessons learned the hard way! While we are not cat haters we cannot allow them in the cottage due to potential for future guests with allergies. Fish, birds, children and turtles are welcome if housebroken.
