Foghorn Room

Foghorn Room Photos

Foghorn Room Book

The Foghorn room sits upon a rock outcropping in front of the Rose Island Lighthouse where it housed the engine that powered the Foghorn, which was used to help ships navigate in the fog. The Foghorn is now gone, so guests can enjoy the peace and quiet this room offers. A staircase allows guests to climb up or down from this secluded hideaway. Sitting on a cliff with panoramic views of Narragansett Bay, this charming 1912 building features a queen size bed, a small dining table and a small working wood stove (**guests must bring their own SMALL firewood**). A five-gallon dispenser of drinking water is provided. This is a seasonal room WITHOUT ELECTRICITY so guests are asked to bring food and beverages in a cooler filled with ice for refrigeration. Gas grills are available nearby for cooking or grilling. There are no lights in this room, so you will need a battery operated lantern or flashlights to light the room and your way to and from the outdoor bathrooms. Accommodates two guests. **NOTE: The island is closed for bookings on Tuesdays, except for multi-night bookings not originating on Tuesdays or ending on Wednesdays.

Fort Hamilton Barracks Photos

Fort Hamilton Barracks Book

Step back in time and stay in our historic Fort Hamilton Barracks room. Fort Hamilton is a first system US fort built by the government in 1798 as a barracks for soldiers. Just steps away from the curtain wall of the old fort and beach front, the fortified barracks room features newly restored windows and mahogany doors that open to a small patio, lawn area, and Adirondack chairs. Sleep in the restored bomb-proof barracks room but in the comfort of a queen-size bed instead of a bunk. This is a seasonal room WITHOUT ELECTRICITY or HEAT, so guests are asked to bring food and beverages in a cooler filled with ice for refrigeration. A gas grill is provided for outdoor cooking and grilling. A five-gallon dispenser of drinking water is also provided. You will need a battery operated lantern or flashlights to light the room and your way to and from the outdoor bathrooms.
