Woodbine Cottage

Woodbine Cottage is a historic 5,000-square-foot Victorian mansion in the heart of downtown Newport, Rhode Island. Built in 1873, it was originally the private residence of George Champlin Mason, Newport's first resident architect, who trained in Switzerland, France, and Germany before going on to design roughly 150 Gilded Age mansions throughout the city. The 23-room house has been restored and retains its period character, with each guest room individually appointed to reflect the home's history. Today the cottage hosts corporate gatherings, wedding parties, birthday and bachelor or bachelorette celebrations, reunions, and holiday parties for groups up to 150 people. Standard accommodations comfortably house 12 to 20 guests, with tables and chairs on hand for up to 20. For weddings, Woodbine Cottage offers wedding planning and event planning services and is within walking distance of several other Newport venues, including the Chanler at Cliff Walk, the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and the Newport Art Museum. The property is smoke-free and includes Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a fireplace, full kitchen access, private bathrooms, and free off-street parking, along with concierge touches like beach chairs, coolers, and afternoon tea service.
