Historic Chateau Palmer A. Downtown Bristol RI

Our updated, historic multi-family is centrally located in downtown Bristol, Rhode Island. It is a side-by-side, 2 bed 1 bath townhouse that accommodates 4 people on two queen beds. A short walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the harbor and a short drive to nearby beaches and parks makes this the perfect summer getaway. We are steps away from the longest standing 4th of July Parade route. Come enjoy the Fall foliage once the summer heat has left. We are less than a mile from the Roger Williams University campus.

Our historic and charming, multi-family was built in the early 1800s and still has a historic feel to it with crooked doors and uneven floors, but that is what gives it charm. Within its historic bones, we have added modern amenities to make sure your stay feels comfortable, cozy, and up to today's standards.

This is a two-story townhome located in the heart of Bristol. The first floor of the home features a full dining room; a living room with a convertible couch and flatscreen tv with smart capabilities; a bathroom with standup shower including towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hairdryer, iron, washer and dryer; a full kitchen including cookware, utensils, sink, stove/oven, toaster, full fridge, coffee maker, French press, and microwave. On the second floor there are two bedrooms with queen beds, A/C in windows (for summer), remote heating units (for winter), and nightstands. Due to the age of the house, closets were not a necessity in the old days, so our bedrooms include dressers and a large communal hanging closet at the top of the stairs. All amenities you could need for your stay are available for use.

The backyard is a communal space with the attached townhouse complete with separate BBQ, sitting area, and firepit. Access to the backyard is through a side door in the living area.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Easy check in, great communication and comfortable spot! It was warm when we arrived but the AC’s cooled it down SUPER quick. We were close to everything and were able to walk to all events in town for a friend’s wedding. Would definitely stay again!!

Charming way to visit Bristol

The property is incredibly convenient to downtown Bristol and Bristol town common. There were a few hot days that the air conditioning units handled easily. The house is charming and cozy and provided enough space for us and our teenagers. Street parking was never an issue.

Perfect stay for wedding weekend

Stayed here for a friend’s wedding. Old house on a quiet street with lots of character - walking distance to plenty of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. Plenty of linens, AC units worked nicely. Plenty of parking along the street. Listing exactly as described. Communication with the host couldn’t have been better.

Access to Fall River for hospital

We stayed here because our daughter was in the hospital in Fall River. We started out in Somerset which was closer, but we had to move to Bristol after needing to extend our stay. Even though it was farther, it is as an easier drive. The town is quaint and we could walk to several restaurants and a convenience store. It was clean and had everything we needed.

Perfect space for a family, steps from Bristol shops and stops

We traveled as a family of two adults, a 3 year old, and a 6 year old. Michele's home was exactly as described - a historic home that was charming even in its floor unevenness :) We stayed during an abnormally hot few days and still felt very comfortable and cool with the fans and AC units. The available washer and dryer were very convenient traveling with young kids. We had no trouble finding street parking in front of the home. There were many cute places to check out just a few short blocks away (or less!), which was perfect traveling with kids that didn't want long walks - we particularly enjoyed Empire Tea & Coffee, Aidan's Pub, Sunset Cafe, and Pivotal Brewery. There is a big playground across High Street, and there is a sweet waterside playground with a pirate ship and a few swings on Thames. On a rainy day I paid for a one-day pass to Play Town on Hope Street that is an indoor play room perfect for little kids to get the wiggles out and play with toys missed from home. You can come and go all day and pay ahead online for a discount. Michele's communication BLEW ME AWAY! So much thorough instruction and detail from the listing itself, to the entry instructions, to the Canva guide she created, in-home welcome note, menus, calendar, and binder. And when we were looking for a recommendation on where to watch a soccer game she replied instantly. Highly recommend staying at a Michele property! You are taken care of well.

Perfect location for our short stay

The property was described and did not disappoint.. A/C units did well managing the heat, especially in the up stairs bedrooms. We were located near the Blithewold mansion where we attended a wedding. Tried restaurants recommended by the host and the bride and groom, all were wonderful. Most are very walkable. Bristol definitely is in the holiday spirit with many activities during the weeks preceding July 4th.

We verbleven twee nachten, met z’n vijven in het huis. Het is een erg net huis goede bedden en een slaapbank. De slaapbank is voor twee nachten prima, maar niet heel comfortabel. We hadden de verhuurders nodig voor een klein probleem, ze reageerde erg snel en losten ons probleem direct op. Waarvoor dank!
