    The Artful Lodger is a bright and airy Victorian built in 1850 located in the Mansion District, and centrally located within 5 minutes from downtown Newport's shopping and dining area. We guarantee you private off-street parking, private baths with all rooms and suites, and an exquisite gourmet breakfast in our conservatory overlooking the Newport Harbor. Our warmest welcome! When you stay with us, you will be neighboring "The Elms," a Newport mansion owned by the infamous robber baron, E. J. Berwind. The mansion is famous for its sunken gardens and lavish parties (even in present day). The secret coal tunnel designed by the coal magnate is steps away from our front door. It was used for discreetly transporting fuel for the first electric lights of the turn of the century elite's "summer cottages."

    May 05, 2013

    What a great stay! We were looking for nice place close to everything that doesn't break the bank. This was it. The innkeepers Lieza and Mike were so hospitable and the breakfast was fantastic! We were close enough to walk to everything, yet still in a residential neighborhood off the main road. The room we stayed in was quiet, but small. They do have larger rooms, but we weren't looking for much, just a clean place to stay and close to downtown. Would most definitely go back!!

    Newport B & B

    April 16, 2013

    We stayed overnight to celebrate our anniversary and we were pleasantly surprised when they upgraded us to a larger room. The breakfast was fantastic - both the food and the view of Newport Harbor. Great location in walking distance of mansions and harbor.

    Excellent Stay!

    March 31, 2013

    I came with a group of friends and we had such a lovely time. The B&B is walking distance from the water where there is excellent food and a beautiful views. The best sunset view was actually from the kitchen at the B&B which overlooks the water not too far away. Lieza and Mike were also excellent hosts- great to talk to and full of good stories. Also the omelet breakfast was amazing! I would definitely come back!
