My husband and I have been guests at the Inn at Old Harbor for over 15 years. It is, without a doubt, our favorite place to stay on the island. My family recently rented 8 rooms at IOH for the weekend of our daughter's wedding. Everyone fell in love with this darling inn and it's wonderful owners! We love so... More

Had a wonderful time staying here last fall. The owners make you feel right at home. The home is very clean and furnished with period antiques. We had a room overlooking the harbor , we enjoyed a private deck off the room where you can watch the boats and the sunrise! Enjoy afternoon tea in the bright filled guest room.... More

If you are looking for a great "getaway" you need to visit Block Island, RI. And if you are looking for a great place to stay.... You have to go to Inn At Old Harbor (IOH). Located in downtown, just steps away from the ferry. The IOH is clean, staff are more than accomidating and so friendly. Great rates too........ More

The Inn was in a great and convenient location, near restaurants, the shops and bike rentals. We loved the wraparound porch, waking up to the smell of banana nut muffins prepared by inn owner Gabrielle and chatting with her during wine and cheese hour. She remembered my girlfriend's name after a brief conversation with me on the phone. It was... More

This quaint inn, with only 8 rooms is perfect for a romantic getaway! Because it is small, the amazing inn keepers are able to be very attentive. Gabrielle hosts a wine and cheese get together at 5 pm daily, which is a great way to get to know some of the other guests that are staying at the Inn. They... More

Enjoyed every moment of our stay and the warm hospitality of our host. She made us feel so welcome. Wine and cheese in the afternoon allowed us to mingle with interesting people from all over New England. The Inn is well kept and reasonably priced. We are going to recommend it to my girlfriend's parents for their anniversary. Thanks Gabrielle!
