Historic Guest Rooms

The Captain Simeon Potter House offers six bedrooms with period furnishings, Honduran mahogany headboards, and Austrian duck-down duvets. Rooms include individual heat/AC control, heated towel bars, cable flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms feature sea views of Newport Bridge and harbor.

Breakfast and Dining

A full hot breakfast is served with farm-to-table ingredients, organic berries, and locally grown fruits. Guests receive breakfast baskets with menu options including apple or pear trottoir. Fresh-cut flowers from the property's garden are included during spring and summer months.

Property and Grounds

This 18th-century sea captain's home features a private garden with pergola for outdoor dining, wide pine floors, and a library with period furnishings. The property is registered on the National Trust for Historic Preservation and includes a chef's kitchen with modern appliances.

Location and Access

Located in Newport's Point neighborhood with over 350 historic homes, the property is a 10-minute walk from Thames Street shops and 1 km from Touro Synagogue. Fort Adams State Park is 2 km away, and T.F. Green Airport is 45 km from the property.

Special Services

Whole house rental is available for holidays, accommodating families or groups. The property offers history walking tours through lesser-known neighborhoods and can arrange picnic lunches for Ocean Drive excursions. Ironing facilities and washing machines are available for guest use.

“From what I gather, this lovingly restored house in Newport's historic Point neighborhood provides both waterfront access and a glimpse into the area's past. The location allows for relaxed exploration of the city's restaurants and vibrant harbor, while the host seems to offer unique insights into local attractions and history. I imagine the combination of period charm and modern comforts would particularly appeal to those seeking a romantic or historically-minded getaway.”
