About this property

Picture perfect beachfront cottage on private road

Picture perfect mid-century cottage located on 2 wooded acres, just steps from the waters of Narragansett Bay. Perfect for families, this classic cottage has ample room to host your seaside vacation. Take a refreshing swim, explore the beach, set-off from the mooring to cruise the bay, or relax and enjoy the view to the sound of waves gently lapping on the shore. You won’t be able to resist the spectacular sunset views as the day draws to a close.

Our fully furnished cottage includes 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus a kitchen with everything you need to entertain groups large or small. The main rooms have an easy, open flow with uninterrupted views of all the activity on Narragansett Bay. The fireplaced living room can be a cozy respite on cool nights or open the windows and let in the refreshing Southwest wind! Enjoy outdoor dining on the patio or covered front porch or gather around the dining room table and watch the weather come across the bay.

If you are looking for more adventure, the 14.5-mile East Bay bike path starts on the Bristol waterfront, and kayak and bike rentals are just up the road. The town of Bristol is conveniently located halfway between Providence and Newport with easy access to both. Settled in 1680 around a deep-water harbor, Bristol features many historic sites (Blithewold Mansion, Herreshoff Marine Museum, Linden Place), a charming town center and a variety of first-class restaurant choices. Bristol is an easy trip from Boston and NYC, and a short 45-minute drive from the Providence airport.

Long Weekend at the Mushroom

We love staying at the Mushroom! It is one of the few places in the area to stay that is very private and quiet. It's so relaxing to sit on the porch and watch the boats go by, gather with family, or just read. The sunsets are beautiful and the beach access is a bonus. The house has plenty of room for family and friends. The kitchen has everything you may need to prepare meals. We will return soon!

Pure Bliss

This location is dreamy. It was the perfect gathering place for 3 generations of family to celebrate my son’s graduation from RWU. Everything we needed was there with a stunning backdrop. Grandparents loved watching the passing ships from the covered deck, everyone else had room to spread out, play games, cook, and come together. Hosts are wonderfully responsive. What a privilege to enjoy this space it with my family!!

Great for family

Definitely worth the long drive to the end of the point and be able to sit right at the water, watch the ships go by from a shaded lawn. Kayak or ride your bike to town. Great for family - something for everyone. Lots of toys, pots and pans, dishes, chairs and spaces to play in.

Perfect

The family loved the spot and the home was comfortable, private and stocked with everything needed. Unfortunately when i left after double checking the house I forgot to check the fridge for items I couldn’t pack up earlier. Hope this didn’t cause an inconvenience.

Easy

Easy. Everything you need is there including a great yard and little beach and seashore atmosphere. We fit 3 generations - 9 of us and a baby easily and comfortably for a week then had days by ourselves. Works for both. This house is well cared for and loved and it shows in all the many extras like a clothesline for beach towels, outdoor shower, games for all ages for rainy days and in all Suzanne's responses to our needs.

Rustic but beautiful

My family loved the neighborhood and all the wildlife that reside in Poppasquash Rd. The beach was just steps away from the house which we enjoyed so much. Tip: it’s very Shelly and rocky so water shoes are a must. The home is rustic, and without a/c in the summer time it felt very damp and the fridge struggled to keep our food cold. The freezer did not keep anything frozen. But the owner brought us a cooler with ice and if it weren’t a holiday would have probably been able to do more than that. We had a wonderful time and would stay again.

Wheelchair Accessible - NOT

We were excited to experience our first family vacation the primary reason for selecting The Mushroom was because it included that it was wheelchair accessible. Unfortunately, from the car to the door required wheelchairing my elderly mother over gravel and mud and then onto a slippery, narrow ramp to the door. Unfortunately, only the kitchen, dining and living rooms were wheelchair accessible - the hallway to the bedrooms and bathrooms were not. Further, the wheelchair didn't fit into the bathrooms. It also required picking up the wheelchair to get out to the patio. After a difficult evening, my mother asked to go home. Because of this, her grandchildren and great grandchildren decided not to join us. All this written, my brother, husband and I enjoyed ourselves and believe we left the home cleaner than it was when we arrived. I will admit to feeling crushed that the first family vacation was a bust and will not be planning another.
