About this property
Rally Point I Soaring Timber Frame Estate I Beaches, Trails, Newport
Rally Point isn't just a place to sleep — it's a place where everyone comes together. Named for exactly that reason, this extraordinary 4-bedroom timber frame estate on Aquidneck Island has hosted family reunions, milestone birthdays, girls' weekends, and corporate retreats. When people arrive here, they don't want to leave.
The Home: The moment you step inside, the soaring post-and-beam great room takes your breath away. Hand-hewn timber frames rise 24 feet to a cathedral ceiling, flanked by twin blue sofas and anchored by a stone fireplace. This is the heart of Rally Point — the room where every gathering ends up, every evening, without fail.
Four beautifully appointed bedrooms sleep up to 10 guests comfortably, each with its own AC unit and a set of fresh towels waiting. Every detail has been considered: the kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooking, the wet bar is stocked with barware and houses an espresso machine and blender, and the dining room seats the whole group under candlelight every night.
The Outdoors: Step outside to a wraparound deck overlooking lush private grounds. Fire up the gas grill for dinner, gather around the firepit as the stars come out, or take out the bikes and pedal down to the Sakonnet Greenway Trail — the trailhead is literally steps from the front gate. Second and Third Beaches are a five-minute drive.
The Location: Set on a quiet private road along a residential stretch of Mitchells Lane in Middletown, Rally Point sits on more than two acres of beautifully manicured grounds offering exceptional privacy and space to unwind. Peaceful and secluded, yet just minutes from everything Newport has to offer — the Cliff Walk, the mansions, the wharves, the polo grounds, and Castle Hill Inn are all within a short drive. Newport Vineyards is just 3 minutes away, while Sweet Berry Farm, known for its fresh produce, cheeses, and café, is less than a mile down the road.
The Details: High-speed WiFi throughout. Sonos sound system in the main living areas with AirPlay 2 support — just tap the AirPlay icon on your iPhone and start playing. Smart TVs in every room. USB charging at every bedside. The whole house feels like a high-end boutique inn, because that is exactly the standard we hold it to.
We manage Rally Point ourselves and take genuine pride in every stay. You'll find awelcome gift waiting on arrival. If there is anything you need before or during your stay, we are always just a message away. We hope Rally Point becomes your annual tradition.
Our Home is a true upscale and appointed home designed and built for our family to enjoy family moments in a special part of the world. Our neighbors are important to us and assuring that the property is only visited by appreciative and respectful guests is our number 1 priority outside of safety. We take hosting guests very seriously and want to make sure guests have the best experience but must insist that our guests 100% respect the Middletown ordinances and peace and serenity that the area affords.

This was a girl's trip to celebrate a 60th birthday! We loved the clean, beautiful home and gorgeous yard! It was extremely well-appointed and we could not have enjoyed it more. Great location to enjoy all the area has to offer.
The home is great. Its large, clean, comfortable and modern and timber framed. Its a little further from the downtown than expected but a super venue for a family get together.
The property is lovely! Nothing is overlooked - Tara thought of everything. The home and its grounds anre immaculate, quiet and exactly what we wanted for a girls’ weekend. Super close to Newport and all the activities but far enough for quiet and solitude when we returned to house. Highly recommend going to a polo match - highlight of the weekend!
I booked a small getaway with some friends. We were looking for a nice place that would comfortably fit the 8 of us. This place was beautiful. Communication was clear and check in was straightforward. I would highly recommend this place for anyone to stay
Beautiful, clean, and relaxing home. Even better than the pictures! It was perfect for a girls weekend with the best of both worlds - easy access to Newport plus a beautiful house with plenty of space to enjoy. We loved having lots of outdoor space from the porch to the big backyard with the basketball court. They even had bikes to borrow. Definitely recommend!!
Rally Point provided the perfect spot for our family to stay while in Newport for a wedding. The home and kitchen were very well equipped. We enjoyed biking in the area and to Sweet Berry Farm just down the road. The host was prompt in responding to any questions we had prior to the trip. This home and the private lot are just beautiful!
What a perfect place to stay, relax, and reconnect with friends and family! We were two families, with kids graduation from Roger Williams. It was the perfect house --- plenty of space and beds, big kitchen, fire pit, peace and quiet. The beds were insanely comfortable. The ground floor shower was decadent (not sure about upstairs, I didn't use it.) Plenty of dishes and cutlery for dining in. Highly recommended.
House and communication with Tara was amazing. Everything was great. Location, clean /big house , lots of room for 8 plus people, and communication with owner (Tara) was fantastic. Very responsive to all our questions and requests. Highly recommend this property.
Everything about this house was perfect! Decorated beautifully, spacious, clean and comfortable. Large fridge which was just what we required and a thoughtfully planned dining area. Plenty of bikes and beach chairs. The house is very near the beaches and downtown Newport however one feels like you are tucked away in the lovely RI wilderness because of the landscaping. Our host was very responsive and helpful. In short - would highly recommend!
Our son was married this past weekend in Newport. We rented the house so that all of our adult children could be under one roof. The House was perfect for us. It was clean, nicely decorated,equipped from the bathrooms to the kitchen and had extra large rooms. there was enough space for all of us to spread out.Tara was fabulous from start to finish. She was extremely accommodating and always quick to respond. She even provided a brand new crockpot and hand mixer when I inquired whether the house had these items.Overall, our stay was great! We couldn’t have been more satisfied!
Tara's "High-End Coastal Country Retreat" was the perfect place for a larger group to stay. The house was not only beautiful and spacious, but was clean, safe, and well stocked with necessary household items. Though the house is a convenient 20 minute ride to Newport, the secluded feel of the front porch, fire pit, and yard, made a perfect balance for a relaxing yet fun vacation. Check in and check out were seamless, and Tara's hospitality and availability to communicate was amazing. This house made the entire weekend, and I am looking forward to booking with Tara again.
Just a dream! This house is even better than the pictures. Every room is lovely and welcoming. The kitchen has everything you could ever want or need and is a great spot to hang out with family or friends. The bedding was exceptional and the house was immaculate.The decks and yard provided us with many hours of relaxation and ultimately no one wanted to leave. My teenage granddaughter said after 5 days that she still couldn’t find a con only pros. High praise from a teenager. If you have a chance to stay here do it you won’t regret it. Tara was super easy to work with as well. Just the best place to stay for my daughter’s wedding weekend. Wish I could give you 10 stars
The Rally Point was the perfect location for our girls weekend in Newport. The home was absolutely beautiful, spacious, comfortable and equipped with all the needed amenities.
We really enjoyed being just a short drive away from Newport and having the peaceful escape at this home. We also loved that Sweet Berry Farm was just a stones throw away. We frequented there over the weekend for lots of delicious goodies.
Tara was always super responsive. We really only needed her in the arrangements leading up to the weekend getaway.
We all said numerous times that we would love to come back again.
Thank you Tara for helping make our weekend a memorable one.
This was the greatest place I have ever stayed, truly!
Booked for 2 nights for my daughter's 16th. . .there were 8 of us with 6 teenagers.
EVERYTHING was perfect and luxurious. The house is gigantic. Plan to cook because the kitchen is custom and designed for professionals. The beds and linens are luxury. The house and pantry were actually stocked (rare) including small things like: tiki torches, bug spray, bikes for 8 ppl, huge beach towels, laundry room, mud room, wood for the firepit, wine gift upon arrival, cornhole, sports equipment, all cooking and baking basics, and excellent lighting/tech/appliances. We wanted for nothing. This should be your high end pick without question! Tara was a perfect host too :)
This property worked very well for our family. Very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with silverware,plates,etc,very good location in a lovely neighborhood.
100% this was a fantastic stay!! This house had everything we needed, and the photos don’t do it justice. Our group was already discussing coming back next year for a reunion. Tara was super responsive from the moment I booked the stay, and made the check-in process as smooth as possible. If you’re planning on coming to Newport, you have to stay at this house!!
We loved the condo and the location. The upstairs neighbors were noisy, but nothing you could do about that. We loved the location so close to everything, but a great quiet area. We would come back and recommend to friends.
House is beautiful and well appointed! Everything we needed for a great stay was provided. Communication with host was easy and swift. Highly recommend.
Excellent place to stay! The house was clean, well stocked and relaxing. There are 3 extremely spacious bedrooms and an additional 2 smaller ones which worked perfectly for our family. We had 1 slight issue (tripped the breaker) and when I messaged the host asking for assistance locating the GFI, they responded immediately. I strongly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the area.
