General Information

Across from historic Hunter House in Newport's Point Section. This eloquent empire Victorian frame home was built in 1871 for Sarah Kendall, wife of a wealthy shipping merchant. Your hosts, Fran and Bryan Babcock, have furnished this bed and breakfast tastefully with eighteenth and nineteenth century antiques and family heirlooms. The air conditioned guest rooms (king, queen, double bed, all with private baths) overlook Narragansett Bay, Hunter House where George Washington spent much of his Newport days, or the manicured gardens. Just a five minute walk to the attractions of downtown Newport. The Point neighborhood is one of Newport's most fascinating neighborhoods, where perfectly preserved Colonial homes exist side by side with spectacular Victorian mansions.
