5 Bedroom House in Top of the Hill, Newport

Newport charm abounds in this 6,000 sq ft historical 1850's home. Whether your planned visit is for relaxation, family affairs, celebrations or simply enjoying the seaside city of Newport, this is the perfect home away from home! Appropriate for accommodating groups of family, friends, wedding parties, family reunions, corporate retreats, and more.
This historical home is located in the heart of Newport within walking distance of just about everything. The neighborhood is quiet, with many large residential homes, and some quieter inns or B&Bs. It is just a few blocks from historic Bellevue Avenue, the Tennis Hall of Fame, and the Viking Hotel.
Bowens Wharf with all of its history and famous restaurants including The Clarke Cooke House and The Black Pearl is only a 10 minute walk from the house.
The large chefs kitchen with butlers pantry is fully stocked with everything you would need to serve a simple meal or a celebration. Cookware, glassware, flatware, dishes, serving platters, etc... A collection of menus from local restaurants for delivery are in the kitchen, or the name of a private chef can be provided by Elizabeth, our property manager.
The beautiful dining room with its historic 1930's mural (depicting some of Newport's most recognizable landmarks), has seating for 10-12. The adjacent solarium has two cafe tables for morning coffee!
Each bedroom is its own oasis with its own Keurig coffee maker, ice bucket, and mini fridge, and all have private bathrooms.
Enjoy wine, cheese and crackers on the front porch and watch the passers bye, or take in the tranquility of the private rose garden in the rear yard with its 4 Adirondack chairs. Wedding parties have used the backyard for games ie: Croquet, Bocce... probably non of them really successful, but they had fun!
The City of Newport has very strict guidelines in order for us to retain a "special use permit" for short term rentals, and we abide by all of them. We have quarterly inspections for fire and all safety alarm systems. The City also requires that there is a property manager or owner living in the home year-round. Elizabeth, the property manager lives at 24 Kay with her 5lb Cavapoo, (Poppy) in a little, but adorable apartment located on the second floor with its own entrance at the rear of the house.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Summary: From the moment we discovered the booking to our delight upon arrival, we adored this beautiful home. A perfect setting for our girls reunion - we savored every room throughout our stay. The breakfast nook with comfy couches, the graceful living room, the stunning dining room surrounded with murals - and that was before we each retired to our own unique bedroom and bath. Our hostess Elizabeth and sweet dog were a joy with tips and recommendations. We soon felt like locals with a short jaunt to shopping and dining and the Cliff Walk. The house was the best part of our trip and we can’t wait to return!

Summary: This house is even more amazing in person than it is in the pictures! The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed! The location is spectacular - walking distance from everything. Elizabeth went above and beyond as a host...proactively communicating and helping to accomodate the disabled member of our family. Absolutely perfect!

Summary: We had family plus one of our married sons and their three young girls for a delightful wedding weekend in Newport. The house was magnificent, very comfortable and marvelously furnished and equipped. Our host, Elizabeth, could not have been more convivial and delightful. There’s a neighborhood coffee shop called Picnic right nearby run by a great character named John whom we got to know well in our short stay. This is a great part of town close to the harbor yet far enough away in a very upscale Newport style neighborhood, right near the tennis Hall of Fame. We would come back anytime.

Summary: I cannot rave about this home and entire property enough. We stayed here the weekend of our wedding with siblings and a few other couples and having this as our home base absolutely made the entire weekend that much more wonderful. I cannot wait to come back to visit and stay in the gorgeous home, hopefully for years to come. Elizabeth is a fabulous host and is incredibly responsive and accommodating. I cannot recommend this property enough!

Summary: 10 friends gathered for a long weekend in Newport. The house was fantastic, with en suite rooms for each of the 5 couples! Lots of wonderful history, roomy for both eating and gathering, including a lovely porch! Location was perfect for walking and enjoying a Street Fair on Broadway! Lots of compliments from everyone! Would not hesitate to return, and look forward to a repeat visit! Wonderful!

Summary: This beautiful home hosted a reunion for our group of friends who have been meeting together every year since 1981. It was our favorite stay yet! Elizabeth is lovely to work with, and the house is just as capacious and splendid as it appears in the photos. And it could not be better located -- we could walk to just about everything. I have recommended this property to family members going to Newport next summer, and they plan to book it!

Summary: We stayed here over the course of our wedding weekend with our close family and friends - and the experience was utterly perfect! There is tons of space for everyone, each room was absolutely beautiful and it was the perfect place for getting ready with my bridesmaids and first look photos. Elizabeth is an incredible host and was so helpful with questions leading up to the weekend and ensuring everything was running smoothly with us over the course of our stay! Fabulous location, walking distance to bars/restaurants and perfect spot for our home base throughout the wedding festivities! We wish we could have moved in!! :)
