About this property

Located at the historic Head of the Westport River this luxurious stay is steps away from the Country Store for treats and treasures, the Watershed Headquarters with interactive displays and Osprey Kayak next door to experience for yourself.
It is an easy stroll to Mill Pond Conservation area to enjoy a rambling waterfall.
Just 6 minutes to the Central Village 14 min to Horseneck Beach, same distance to the Harbor.
The Space:
The beautifully renovated historic home offers exceptional private space for your vacation stay. Enter this federal style home to a mid century art gallery. The open sunny living and dining room boasts a mix of Cape and local art accenting a creative mix of contemporary and period furnishings.
Your stay is enhanced by offering a micro, toaster oven, refrigerator with water and a beverage station with filtered water, coffee and teas.
Newly renovated first floor bath features a fully tiled walk in rain shower, heated floors and towel bar. What's better than wrapping yourself in a warm towel while prepping for the day or event with a light-up fog-free mirror!
You will rest soundly in the 2nd-floor bedroom with a king-size Tempurpedic bed outfitted with fresh laundered and pressed linen sheets, soft cotton quilt and blanket. A cozy chenille chair for a restful reading spot.
The first-floor sitting area is ready for a competitive Jenga match. Backgammon or chess anyone? Relax on your private deck and enjoy the resident Silkie chickens. They are friendly and comical!

So many people are giving such great reviews of breakfast and I enjoy brightening the morning! When we are here and can offer this free service, we message our guests to let them know when a tray will be put out and ask about allergies.

Guest access
This is a small historic river village located in a country setting. Summer parking is on the street with plenty of space available or an alternative can be provided.
Other things to note
Adventurous walks and hiking abound in Westport. We can provide a conservation area trail guide and map of the best locations for beach access and area amenities.

Great B&B

My wife and I went for a getaway weekend. We were a little thrown off since it is not a whole house to yourself, but a section of the house blocked off for you. The area was well decorated and very clean. The property owner also went above and beyond and made the space very romantic with valentine's day props and food. Overall it was a great experience and the property owner was very responsive, but it was not what we expected.

A beautiful space with kind hosts

It was a perfect place for us to rest for a weekend. The house is beautifully decorated with original artwork. The fireplace provided cozy atmosphere for a rainy day. We also enjoyed delicious breakfast as a bonus since the hosts were there during our stay. I highly recommend this place!

Five Star Experience!

Laurie, the host, was, by far, the most incredible host. The home is so thoughtfully put together. The breakfast she provided was far beyond what my husband and I expected. She even surprised us with pie! We only had this place booked for two nights, which was a bummer. We didn’t want to leave.

Great experience

We had a very comfortable stay at this conveniently located Westport rental: spacious,charming, and extremely comfortable. Cute little kitchen area, with a beautiful dining room and a deck with a table. Nice living room, great bathroom with towels warmed on the towel rack. The host was very helpful: we had a few questions that came up before we got there and during our stay, and she was prompt and helpful with her replies. One surprise was that she made a delicious breakfast for us each of the days we were there, left for us early in the morning. The neighborhood is safe and lovely. Highly recommend this rental for your stay in Southcoast MA or RI.

Perfect Wedding Weekend

My husband and I stayed here to attend a wedding. The house was absolutely picturesque. The town was just as adorable and idyllic. But the thing that really made the stay incredible was the breakfast every morning. We were one of the lucky ones to be greeted each morning with a breakfast tray on the dining room table and each meal was not only better than the last, but better than anything you would get at a restaurant. I highly recommend this stay and would stay again!
