We are a 48-acre historic, conservation fiber farm smack in the middle of Rhode Island-in an area that was once all farmland. We are a bit of a holdover-and we take our stewardship role of this farming legacy quite seriously. Despite our glorious natural setting, we are actually very close to all the places people want to visit in RI-including Providence (15 minutes), Newport (30 minutes) beaches (15-40 depending on which one you chose) and a bunch of parks and hiking areas (15-45 minutes max). We are also near Ct and Mass-so a good home base for all kinds of exploring! Stays are limited to three nights.Our sweet 1972 Ace Camper (Gertrude) os renovated and thoughtfully outfitted, just the thing for a simple stay in nature at Hurricane Hill, our beautiful, 48-acre historic fiber farm. Lounge in the the hammock, put your feet up around the fire pit, clean up in the outdoor shower, then sleep like a baby and wake up to sheep and llama munching nearby.
This is a small cozy camper with two seating areas-one couch and one table with booth seats. These double as beds. Beds are small doubles (aka not standard). The former kitchen area still provides amenities and there is a small fridge, but any cooking takes place outside on the grill. We have an outdoor toilet and shower with on-demand hot water. There is also a small sink. We provide you with our delicious well water for drinking. There is ample space to store your bag/s-and your vehicle will be nearby. Also outdoors: a hammock, fire pit (we provide the wood) and seating area.
Our acreage is what remains of a larger farm that dates back to the 1750s. Like us, the original farmers raised sheep for wool and, like many of their farm neighbors, relied on the land to supply their needs (we do our best to emulate that). We raise a critical breed of sheep called Leicester Longwools, selling raw fleece to hand spinners, turning their raw wool into yarn and blankets and using their waste wool for a variety of garden products we also sell. We also sell breed stock to support their conservation. Llama guard the flock and we have goats for humor and chickens and ducks for eggs.
