Spar Point Farm on Block Island is a 6-acre working family farm including a vineyard, orchard, apiary, gardens, and greenhouse. It offers a winning combination of being well off the main road for privacy and quiet, but less than 10 minutes by car from the main port town and 5 minutes from the airport. The farm is flanked by 230 acres of conservation land to the west and enjoys sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, striking sunsets, and wondrous stargazing.
The space
The Vineyard Cottage is located on a small hill beside an ambling brook and tranquil pond. The Cottage faces a unique trellised vineyard against the backdrop of the farm's picturesque early-American gambrel barn. The Cottage itself is charming and cozy with an inviting open floor plan. A picnic table for outdoor dining on a hilltop above the vineyard offers a majestic view of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding pastures. Another picnic table along the brook behind the Cottage provides a more private setting for a quiet dinner or morning coffee.
The downstairs of the Cottage features a bright open kitchen and a living/dining area with a large farm table that can comfortably seat 6 people (and is extendable to accommodate 8-10 people). Two of the bedrooms (one downstairs and one upstairs) both have expansive views of the vineyard; the downstairs bedroom has a queen bed and an upstairs bedroom has two queen beds. Another upstairs bedroom called the "Hobbit Hole," tucked into a gable, has a twin bed and provides a perfect nook for a youngster or teen. A downstairs bathroom has a bathtub/shower and an upstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower. A cute outdoor shower is nestled underneath a wisteria-covered outside staircase and welcomes our more adventurous guests :)
The Vineyard Cottage also features the Brookside Shed - a stand-alone structure steps away from the Cottage that contains an additional spacious bedroom with a queen bed and twin bed.
