History runs deep at Weekapaug Inn, which is situated on Quonochontaug Pond in Rhode Island. The property dates back to 1899 when Frederick and Phebe Buffum opened the small inn for the beach-going community. And, while the original building was damaged by a hurricane, the couple rebuilt the charming inn, perched on a peninsula between two salt ponds, that is beloved by guests to this day.
The Look of Weekapaug Inn
The property is posh but completely comfortable and rustic-chic. You'll find unfussy beach decor complemented by antiques and original artwork. The updated rooms offer Frette linens plus bathrooms with clawfoot tubs, heated flooring, and rain showers. You'll mostly find guests outside — the outdoor activities, which include kayaking, shuffleboard, bocce courts, hiking, biking, and paddleboarding — are abundant. There's an outdoor lap pool complete with a sun deck and Jacuzzi, too.
The Vibe at Weekapaug Inn
The feel here can best be described as a family summer camp. It's the sort of property that brings guests back year after year for the swimming, boating, nature, and warm hospitality. And it's also the kind of place where you can do it all — or nothing at all — and still have a fabulous vacation.
