Photos and Description of the Newport vacation cottage rental
2 bedroom, one and a half bath carriage house

Steps away from Bellevue Avenue and a short stroll down the hill to the harbor, historic Washington Square and the arts district, Old Acre Carriage House is conveniently located yet privately situated on the grounds of a Newport estate. Nearby are the LaFarge Perry House, Bayberry Inn, Marshall Slocum Inn, Hilltop Inn and the Viking Hotel.

This charming carriage house was completely renovated in early 2013. Centrally air conditioned with 1050 square feet of living space, the 1856 carriage house/stable has a first floor open living area with full kitchen, mudroom, closet and powder room. French doors lead out to a charming south facing patio/garden- with outside shower. The house is accessed off a small lane that runs parallel to Kay Street and offers parking for two cars. The second floor has 2 bedrooms (one with a king and one with twin beds) with laundry/linen and full bath with shower. The photos show the care with which this renovation project was carried out. The cheerfulness and good taste shown in the decor make this a most attractive and appealing rental property.

About Eve and Bill Woodhull

We fell in love with Newport and all it had to offer and bought our house in 1993. After a thorough renovation, we moved in with our family of 5 and made 'Old Acre' our home. In the summer of 2012, we launched into our next huge project: the complete redo of our 1856 stable/ carriage house. It's in the heart of Newport, yet quiet, peaceful and private.

Eve and Bill Woodhull purchased this cottage in 1993
Why Eve and Bill Woodhull chose Newport

We moved here from New York to live in this city by the sea for its year round vibrant lifestyle.

What makes this cottage unique

Instead of booking at the Newport inns and hotels that abut our property, stay at our private, new carriage house. It shares the property with a Victorian house built in 1855 by George Mason and Son. They are ideally situated in Newport.

Delightful Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: May 3, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
You won't find a more delightful place to stay in Newport than Eve and Bill's tastefully renovated carriage house. Our family of three stayed for 5 days in April and had a relaxing visit. Even our young son was enchanted by the carriage house and beautiful yard, complete with bunnies hopping through the grass and cardinals flying overhead. The carriage house has gorgeous design (tall ceilings, wood floors, large windows and great light.) Eve has created an incredibly welcoming environment, through elegant decor and crisp, comfortable and immaculate linens, bedding, towels and window treatments. There were flowers on our dining table when we arrived!

We could walk everywhere we wanted to visit in Newport, which helped make up for our daily stop for luscious cookies at Empire Tea and Coffee just down the hill. The carriage house is very well provisioned and there is a cute private courtyard with seating and landscaping. Eve and Bill were wonderful, welcoming hosts and we wish them much success with this venture. I fell in love with the pictures of the carriage house on this site, but it is even more beautiful in person. I highly recommend that you treat yourself to a stay at this special place.

My husband and I spent a great romantic weekend in the charming, well-done gut renovation of this 1856 carriage house on the grounds of a Newport Estate. We walked to everything and left the car parked----every amenity was top-notch--king-sized bed, marble bath, full kitchen, every comfort provided by friendly and helpful owners who know their town well and all the best places to visit and eat---what's worth it and what isn't. Lovely, light, open living area with cable TV and big windowed views was heaven to just hang out in. A great way to both visit a town and feel a part of it at the same time. Can't wait to return to "our" place.

Perfect place to spend a weekend in Newport

The perfect place to spend a weekend in Newport. My girlfriend and I spent a wonderful weekend in this beautiful, newly renovated cottage on the grounds of a Newport estate. We left the car at the cottage the whole weekend as it was in very short walking distance to The Cliff Walk, downtown Newport and our new favorite restaurant, The Black Pearl (which was recommended by the owners.) Very comfortable and charming spot. We hope to return again soon!
