Built in 1731, the iconic Cole farmhouse may be the oldest house in Providence. Located in a serene cul-de-sac near Brown University and RISD campus.

Did you know you can stay in a home with roots stretching back to 1731? 🌿
Providence has grown from Indigenous roots and early colonial settlements to thriving industrial power. Providence has lived many lives, and the Cole Farmhouse has stood witness through it all—surviving centuries of change, and operating as a bustling dairy farm in the 1890s. Today, it stands lovingly restored with original historic details.

We absolutely love staying here✨

"We absolutely love staying here. Ronnie’s home felt like a magical space. My son loved to feed and pet his chickens. We will definitely be coming back to space. I can’t say enough about lovely a stay this was for us."

Hearing feedback like this truly makes hosting a joy! We love knowing that Cole Farmhouse creates special memories for families, especially our youngest guests. ❤️

From quiet mornings in the garden to egg feeding with the chickens, Cole Farmhouse offers families a quiet historic retreat right in the city. 🌷🐓

We can't wait to welcome Sarah and her family back again soon!

We’re blushing a little. 😊❤️

“This was the nicest Airbnb experience we've ever had. So unique and wonderful.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. 😄

Nearly 300 years of history, a few Rhode Island Reds, plenty of fresh eggs, and hopefully a few surprises along the way… ✨

Thank you, Kaylyn, for the wonderful review! ❤️

“Ronnie's property is a historical treasure.”

We’re so grateful for this wonderful review! ❤️ Guests love the mix of nearly 300 years of history with modern comforts, our East Side location, and, apparently, our hardest-working staff: the Rhode Island Reds. 🐔🥚

Fresh eggs every morning. No employee complaints. No sick days. 😉

Nearly 300 years of history… and the chickens are still on duty.

We love when guests leave behind more than a review 🐔✏️❤️
Such a pleasure hosting five wonderful friends at Cole Farmhouse for their annual friends’ gathering.

Thank you for the beautiful note in our guestbook:

“We loved our stay in this fun historic farm home! The daily fresh eggs and chance to hang out with your cute flock of RI Reds made it an extra exciting experience for our annual friends gathering.

Thank you for your welcoming atmosphere & all the personal touches!”

And then they added their own very special Rhode Island Red. 🐔✏️

There’s something pretty wonderful about knowing that the fun historic farm home" have become part of someone’s memories.

Thank you for leaving a little piece of your stay behind. We’ll treasure it! ❤️

Challenge accepted? 😄

We love when our guests discover the little details tucked around the farmhouse — although we may have accidentally created a bird-themed scavenger hunt without realizing it!

Thank you to our guests for the wonderful note and for leaving us a new record to beat. ❤️

Think you can find more than 114?
Come stay at Cole Farmhouse and start counting! 🐔🦆🦉🐦

🐔 The Case of the Missing Hen... 🥚

One morning, one of our Rhode Island Reds vanished.

Our guests joined the mystery.

Had she escaped? Wandered off? Started a new life?

Two days later... she was found happily tucked behind a tree.

The culprit?

🥚 Fifteen hidden eggs, and a very broody hen 🐔

As our guests wrote in our guestbook:
"Turns out she wasn't causing a fuss... she was just hiding eggs from the rest of us!"

Moments like these are often the memories that our guests take home.

Thank you to Summer, Zoe, Monic, and Edward for the wonderful poetry —and for the beautiful drawing that now has a permanent place in our guestbook. 🌈❤️

📖 Sometimes the best reviews aren't left online... they're written by hand. ❤️

One of our recent guests wrote something that truly touched us:

"We explored the history of Providence during the day, and then came back to a part of that history every night.".. "All of the touches around the house - the wall hangings, maps, needlepoint, etc- added to the historic aesthetic and gave us the opportunity to reflect on the privilege of staying in such a location".

This perfectly captures what we hope every guest experiences at Cole Farmhouse.

Built in 1731, this home has welcomed visitors for nearly 300 years—from George Washington in 1790 to travelers from around the world today.

To our wonderful guests: thank you for filling these pages with your stories, kindness, and memories. Reading your notes is one of our favorite parts of hosting.

A beautiful May morning at the Farmhouse! 🌞 Leah and her family recently stayed with us and called it the “perfect spot.” 🏡
