Located well off the main roads, in the woods in western Coventry, R.I., on one of the best and quietest lakes anyhere. There is a sandy beach, with gradual slope into the water – ideal for kids. A boat is available, with plenty of opportunities for fishing and water exploring. A YMCA camp directly across the lake offers swimming lessons and other activities for kids. Or you can just sit on the beach or the dock and relax with a good book.
The house itself has a large living/dining area, kitchen, master bedroom with queen bed, adjacent bunkroom with two extra-long bunks, sleeping loft (a favorite with kids) with one double bed and a convertible that makes two twin beds, and a large screened-in porch. There are hiking trails behind the house, but the main feature is the lake and related activities.
For those who like to wander a little, the location is near several ocean beaches, summer theatres, shopping malls, good restaurants, and the city of Newport.
