Every window is a room. Pick yours.

Twenty-four rooms in a restored 1874 sail loft on Newport's harbor. Tap a window to see its view and tonight's rate.

Dusk on Ballast Wharf. A lamp goes on in every window, booked or not.

A sail loft for ninety years. Twenty-four rooms now.

Sailmakers cut canvas on these floors from 1874 until the last loft closed. We kept the pine boards, the ceiling beams and the tall windows they needed for daylight, then added deep beds, quiet heat and a front desk that never closes.

Sample notes from fictional guests, written for this demo.

We picked 202 off the drawing because it had a balcony over the water. It did, and the boats were right there at breakfast.

The garden window seat was the best part of the trip. Read two books in it.

Sunset sail was cold, beautiful and worth every penny. Bring the blankets they offer.

Before you ask

Is there parking?

Yes. Our own lot is on the wharf, $30 a night, and there is always a space for guests. From June to August we park the car for you.

Is there an elevator?

One elevator reaches every floor, including the widow's walk landing. Room 203 is fully accessible with a roll-in shower.

Can we bring the dog?

Rooms 204 and 206 on the garden side welcome dogs under 40 pounds, $40 a stay. We keep bowls and treats at the desk.

Are children welcome?

Always. The corner rooms sleep three with a daybed, and we can connect 205 and 206 for families of four.

What happens if the sail is called off?

Captain Abernathy decides by 3 pm. If the wind or weather says no, you are refunded the same day, or we move you to the next evening.

How does cancellation work?

Cancel free up to 7 days before you arrive. After that we keep the first night, which is the deposit you pay when you book.

Can I choose the exact room?

Yes, that is the point of the drawing. Pick a window and it is yours, not a room type that gets assigned at the desk.

The lamps go on at dusk. Which one is yours?
