Paradise Farm house

Staying at the Paradise Farm house, it was so easy to imagine you were living there. Fourteen of us, including seven children, found plenty of space to talk, play games and enjoy big meals. This is a jewel!

Farmhouse

Beautiful property and grounds w/ access to kid friendly beach or another w/ waves on the coast. Every bedroom had its own shower and bath which was key bc we had 3 generations of family w/ 9 kids ranging from 1-10. Would love to go back again!

In terms of the aesthetic, the property is spectacular. The bird sanctuary is unparalleled with regard to the feel and place. The views are beautiful. The house is very old and lends itself to having a wonderful historic feel. There were some minor, and subtle issues with the property, including many nails coming out of the floorboards - dangerous for bare feet, Door latches did not latch, insufficient quantity of towels, no strainer for the kitchen sink, ice machine did not work in refrigerator, refrigerator crisper door broken. The house generally had insufficient lighting downstairs as well. The outdoor items such as beach chairs, cushions, etc. were not usable due to their age and condition. The beach is accessible by walking, but driving is difficult because there’s very limited parking so it makes it challenging to bring beach gear. Not all binoculars worked. Be careful of ticks in the meadows. Overall very good to excellent stay.

Wedding in New port with door county twist

The Norman Bird sanctuary and Paradise farm House worked out perfectly for our son‘s wedding in Newport. Being from Wisconsin and summering in door County wi . It gave us a feeling of home too . The farm house was especially nice for the groomsmen to get ready ready there . Grounds as well as the restoration of the property/farmhouse is exceptional for family gathering . The only element guests need to be aware of is the rooster in the garden and shortage of dish towels for the kitchen . Overall Fun was had by all thank you .

Amazing house and location!

This farmhouse is aptly named...Paradise! The old charm combined with fresh new amenities on a gorgeous expanse of land is just picturesque and perfect! Everything was in perfect order and so right for our whole family including my 85 year old parents and my siblings and our older children. We could all be together in the same home for a family weekend wedding in Newport.

Stay at Paradise Farm

This has become our second "home" for our annual family gathering. We first chose it because it was equidistant for folks coming from NY, MA, NH . . . but it is so much more than that! The 6000-feet of space is perfect for our half dozen kids, who love the bunk room and all the hiding places to be found. The large dining area is perfect for the big meals we cook, and each bedroom is its own oasis. Trails, the beach, the views--everything is ready for you to have a visit that builds memories.

Serene, Comfortable Stay

We traveled to Rhode Island as a family group of 12 (ages 11- 82) and so enjoyed this charming and truly special home. It was clean and comfortable and fit us all in with ease. The amenities were closer to those of a hotel than a rental home with the bathrooms full of fluffy towels and delightful local soap, lotion, and shampoo. The huge dining room was especially wonderful, and the kitchen was well stocked and easy to work in. We cooked a ton during our stay. We got mostly clouds, drizzle, and grey skies, but the beauty of the area shone through, and we enjoyed the property, trails, and surrounding towns. It is a historic, somewhat delicate house, however, so maybe not the best fit for those with toddlers or younger kids.

The name says it all!

Paradise Farmhouse is a charming, practical house in a spectacular setting. We particularly appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, the ample dining room, the quiet bedrooms, and the ocean view (in winter!). Our family had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas here! We look forward to returning in warmer months when we can take better advantage of the outdoor opportunities.

Family vacation

Beautiful, expansive property offering room for all to sleep w bathrooms in every bedroom, plenty of room to cook, dine, entertain in this historic, well maintained, comfortable house. The property consists of acres and acres of trails leading to all kinds of adventures w lots of wildlife, beaches, pond and more. Our family consists of 13 members ranging in age from 72 to 9 most, with others visiting at times. We were all comfy and happy w plenty of room to spread out for privacy or communal dining, visiting, etc. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Great experience

Stayed over 4th of July week with family. The house is large. Bathrooms in every bedroom. Communication with property manager was great. The property was large and access to the walking/ hiking trails was convenient. I would recommend the place to friends and we would stay here again.

Perfect girls weekend spot!

The house was amazing! Gorgeous location and views all around the house. House was super clean and furniture was up to date & comfortable. We loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom! Jeannie was great checking us in and helping to answer any questions- also loved the tour she gave us of the house and hearing about the history of the house & sanctuary. Overall, we had a great experience at the house and would definitely recommend it to any large group!

Pristine, quiet, relaxing bit of paradise

I stayed at Paradise Farmhouse with 8 women for a weekend away. We were all charmed by the simple elegance of the property, the comfort of the rooms and the beauty of the landscape. We saw many wild deer as well as birds on our numerous walks. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and upbeat. I would recommend it to anyone.

Outstanding views and trails. Great house and comfortable

Outstanding in all ways. Jeannie is superb. Had 15 people for wedding. All enjoyed hiking and we put on a dinner for 18 and everything we needed. Coffeemaker has a problem on first morning and it was replaced in less than 15 mins. Nice Empire coffee provided. Great views, beach access all you need. Highly recommended

Magical

Paradise Farmhouse exceeded every expectation. Very clean, tastefully decorated, spacious, charming, comfortable. We rented the farmhouse for our annual family reunion. We're a picky group, having stayed in great hotels all over the world, and everyone was wowed by the Farmhouse. The house in any setting would be a delight, but surrounded by the bird sanctuary grounds, not far from the ocean, and just a short drive to Newport made it a dream come true. Great views from the upstairs bedrooms, birds chirping in the morning, a lovely garden, a great outdoor patio for gathering, an inside dining room that comfortably sat all 14 of us. The property manager Jeanne was terrific--very helpful, clear, responsive. I would highly recommend this property to anyone . No matter how long you plan to stay, I suggest you double it. You won't want to leave. The only thing we wished for was a tv ---there were some significant sports happening while we were there, and it would have been nice to watch them at the Farmhouse vs. having to go elsewhere. Overall though, the place gets an A+. It's a lovely house in a beautiful setting. Book it.

Wonderful family retreat

The Farmhouse is a true joy - clean, modern yet spare, retaining all original flooring and unique features with thoughtful upgrades and pristine baths for all rooms. The kitchen is well-appointed and there are rooms for small groups and larger family gatherings. The grounds and views are the real assets though - walking and hiking on the trails in the bird sanctuary with views of the ocean are amazing. The Farmhouse is tucked away, quiet and peaceful yet so close to downtown. We were ages 6 months - mid-fifties and we all loved it. Make sure you bring food because you will not want to leave!
