It is the ancestral home of our Fenner family, members of which played instrumental roles in the founding of the Colony and, subsequently, the American Revolution. We’ve arranged the house to sleep up to ten, across four bedrooms and two bathrooms (i.e. eight adults and two children). Original art and antiques adorn the property in manner that complements its historic character. It is an architectural rarity as one of the few remaining ‘stone ender’ structues in North America, and features an ancient fireplace of remarkable scale and elegance. The House is is perfect for romantic getaways, artists’ retreats, and families (including behaved and well-tended children) interested to explore its historic character and surroundings. Guests avail of the full kitchen and formal dining room, or barbeque, and dine on the back terrace in seasonal weather. Our family has made very effort to ensure modern guests’ comfort, while abiding by good conservation practices and maintaince of a period ambiance. Nevertheless, you may encounter critters, drafts and suchlike, as might be expected in a nearly four-hundred year old house, surrounded by woods and wetlands. Therein is another layer of charm, for those with the requisite fortitude and discernment. The House’s current guise as a short term rental supports our family’s ambition to preserve this important piece of American history. We invite guests to support us in our endeavour by treating the property with facination, respect and care. Guests are responsible for any damage to the House or its contents. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 2,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27130000/27128200/27128181/9c8bb188.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hurricane Hill-a farm cottage near Providence Cranston - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 113 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=27128181&PinnedHotelID=27128181&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95520000/95518900/95518816/w1179h779x0y0-cb3fb131.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New and Modern Apartment just minutes away from Downtown Providence!
