About this property
Reservoir House - Beauty, Comfort & Tranquility in Peaceful Countryside
Reservoir House is on a hill overlooking a reservoir, with magnificent sunset views! It has an open floor plan of kitchen-dining-living room. This house was built in 1994 but has old fashioned appeal. It was built as a summer home for a renowned Brown University professor and his family, who still own it. The house has 2 large upstairs bedrooms with queen beds. The first floor has 1 large first floor bedroom with a Queen bed and a small bedroom/office with a twin bed that converts to Queen and a computer table and chair. The stone patio has a beautiful reservoir view. There is a large garden & lawns, surrounded by a meadow. there is an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach. Birdsong fills the air, deer visit frequently, and an eagle likes to perch on the roof. Sunshine fills every room, and the charm & custom details make it both cozy and elegant. Fully furnished including all kitchen utensils, blankets and pillows, but long term tenants are asked to provide their own sheets and towels. The location is peaceful & quiet. Close to beaches, Little Compton village, nature walks, artisan stores, antiques, restaurants, galleries, historic buildings, working farms & farmers' markets, vineyards, local fresh seafood. New England is famous for lobsters, clams, clam cakes and chowder! Reservoir house is 30 minutes from Providence, the capital of Rhode Island, which is a beautiful cultural center with a thriving artist community, universities, museums and concert halls. It is close to the town of Newport, RI & New Bedford, MA and Boston is a 60 minute drive.

About the host
Hosted by Alexandra Morgan

I grew up in Providence, RI, and my parents built Reservoir House as our summer home. They designed every detail of it to be both beautiful and comfortable, with sunshine in every room and beautiful views of garden, meadows and the reservoir. My father was a professor at Brown University and he and my mother hosted many gatherings of family, friends and students here. With close ties in our family to Europe, especially France, there is a definite continental feel to the property. It is our pleasure now to invite others to come create their own summer memories here!
Why they chose this property
Little Compton is a charming village in beautiful farm country, near several beaches. The house is 5 minutes from the village center.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful and comfortable house with magnificent sunset views across the reservoir. Peaceful and quiet, in a wonderful part of Rhode Island
