6 bedrooms/4 full baths/game room/hot tub/pool/pool house at animal sanctuary!

Located on a 30 acre, working livestock animal sanctuary, this unique house overlooks Wood River waterfalls and sleeps up to 17, including 13 in the main house (four queens, three twins and a bunk bed) and four additional guests in the pool house (one queen and bunk beds).

The River Haven Sanctuary Guest House features a beautiful in-ground pool surrounded by a perennial garden, a new six person hot tub, four outdoor decks, two living rooms with huge sectionals and flat screens, breakfast and tiki bars, pool house, outdoor shower, picnic gazebo, and an outdoor grill.

Kids (and the young at heart) will enjoy the game room, which includes air hockey and Arcade Classics video game tables. A Peleton bike is also available for guest use in the game room. The pool and pool house area make a great hang-out for teen guests.

Guests are invited to schedule a tour of the River Haven Sanctuary, a 501(c) (3) non-profit animal sanctuary, which is located on-site. Guests can also participate in one of the sanctuary's many animal learning adventures, which include hiking with donkeys, tours and many more. All guests will receive a current listing of sanctuary activities prior to their stay!

Ocean State beaches Misquamicut, Matunek or Charlestown Breachway are a 30 minute drive from the property. The Foxwoods Casino and Resort is also a 30 minute drive away.

Special Disclosure regarding the River Haven Sanctuary: The River Haven Guest House is situated adjacent to the sanctuary farm.

Loved this property
This was the perfect place for a weekend with friends. A great kitchen, great common spaces for us all to hang out, and a beautiful property. We were only sad that the rain kept us from fully enjoying all that the property had to offer.

Amazing Property! - Unique, secluded, and tons of things to do
We choose this property for a yearly reunion of old friends. About 7 in total. Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. The host was very accommodating. The property itself is one of a kind and guaranteed not to disappoint. Highly recommended for a unique weekend getaway. Thanks Jeff!

Excellent for extended family events or retreats
The house was cozy but large enough to host everyone who was staying there (14 people), plus a couple additional families who visited during the day. There's something for everyone, from river activities to a pool/hot tub to trails for walking to a game room and 2 large living rooms for watching a ball game. The fridge was huge, which was a good thing because we brought a ton of food for everyone. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat and the hosts were amazingly friendly, responsive, and accommodating.

Labor Day Weekend at the Haven
We had a big group stay here so we could hang together and get ready for our wedding in Westerly! The house and property were amazing, so much room for everyone to spread out and enjoy! The hosts were amazing, I definitely recommend reaching out to them to see the animal sanctuary and meet all the amazing animals they take care of! Thank you again Lucy and Jeff!

Best family compound to vacation
Great grounds, so much space. There was 9 of us and it felt like we could fit another 9 with ease. Bedrooms were very nice and each room has its own bathroom. Kitchen is awesome. Huge and very open. Huge tv in both family rooms. Pool house is awesome. Great for 4 people with a full size and bunk beds. The fire pit is great and the grill out back is very awesome. Great owners were very responsive. They have a farm just a few feet away and you can buy a ticket to it. We realized at the end and didn't get to explore it. They have a great dog luna and the home is pup friendly so bring the dogs they'll have so much fun. Lastly they have a brooke you go hang out by and awesome trails. We will be back.

Truly unique and special!
A beautiful piece of property and house in the trees and waterfalls with a nearby animal sanctuary. We went kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking and swimming every day. Jeff and Lucy, the owners are lovely people who were attentive to all of our needs (not many)! I hope to go back soon.

Excellent Stay!
We wanted a peaceful getaway to spend time with family and this was the perfect spot! The property is stunning, the house and pool house are amazing, and the pool and hot tub provided the relaxation and family time we were looking for. The house itself is done so beautifully. The kitchen is amazing, the bathrooms are amazing, the bedrooms are amazing, and all of the common areas allowed for different congregations of family members to do their own thing. The house offers air conditioning in every room that works really well. The kids loved the game room and played a lot of air hockey. The teens loved having the pool house to stay in and have a little "freedom." It was great cousin bonding time. We sat outside and listened to the gorgeous waterfalls as we watched the kids fishing for hours upon end, we cooked our own dinners as we chatted away in the kitchen and open living area, and we had a fire in the fire pit at night and made s'mores left for us by Jeff and Lucy. The property is so unique with plentiful areas to sit and relax and to explore. It is like a little slice of heaven. The landscaping is beautiful, and the quaint stone steps all around the property added such charm. The sanctuary is amazing and we got meet all the animals during a tour. Jeff and Lucy were great about everything and are doing great things with the sanctuary. We will definitely be back! Thanks Jeff and Lucy!

Family Connections
The Haven was absolutely perfect for our first ever blended family outing celebrating our milestone birthdays! There was plenty of room, beautiful kitchen and living spaces, fantastic pool and hosts that consistently went above and beyond to make our stay the best ever! We can't thank Jeff and Lucy enough for their willingness to share their love of animals with us. Our grandchildren loved every minute. Thank you, Jeff and Lucy!!

Family getaway!
We couldnt have been happier about our stay at the Haven. The home fit our two families wonderfully. It was roomy and comfortable throughout our stay. We loved fishing on the beautiful river and exploring all the property had to offer from the pool and jucuzzi to the amazing animal sanctuary next door. We cherished all of our memories made and hope to return again in the future. The hosts were there for any questions quickky and welcomed any needs we may have had. Wonderful hosts! Thank you for a wonderful week!

50th in the woods
1. First of all our hosts Jeff and Lucy were wonderful. They were so accessible and responsive. They lived just 100 yards away and were so easy to reach for questions. That said, they never intruded on our family time. We were celebrating our 50th anniversary with the whole family and it was like Jeff and Lucy were part of the fun. 2. The pool and hot tub were great fun and so clean. Past VRBO experiences with pools and hot tubs have been a disappointment. Not this time. 3. Beds were super comfortable. There was lots of bedroom space. 4. Kitchen was so well equipped and refrigerator was huge. The dish washer is undersized for our group of 11. 5. The spot is out in the woods and you sort of feel like you are at your special secluded get away - "Camp David of VRBO." While being in the middle of the woods is great, there are going to be lots of bugs. Bring your spray. 6. Room units cool the bedrooms, but the kitchen, dining area, game room and great room are not cooled. We were there in mid-July and during the day those rooms got really hot. 7. The kids really loved the game room and some of the oldsters relived the Ms Pac-Man days. 8. There are no window treatments which really isn't an issue since you are out in the middle of nowhere. It was a problem for us since we had some small children who rise as soon as they see light. No one wants their 2 year old at 5:30 in the morning. We had to make curtains out of garbage bags.
