Location, lobster and history are three appealing aspects of the Zachariah Eddy House.  If you are looking for an affordable base of operation for touring Boston, Cape Cod, Newport and Providence you will be pleased to learn it is less than 35 miles from each of these destinations.

This 1831 historic home offers quiet, comfortable elegance and special treasures of days gone by; double parlors, parquet floors, built-in china closets, stained glass windows. Three unique guest rooms, each with its own charm. Of special significance is the "Chapel Bath" with a story to tell all its own.

Location... Whether you travel by air, car or rail, it couldn't be easier. Located midway between Boston and Providence, the Eddy House is equally accessible to both Logan Airport and TF Green Airport. Also, just 1 mile to Interstate 495 for highway travel or 1 mile to the MBTA Commuter Rail for convenient, hassle free, train service into Boston.

Guest Rooms

All Guest Rooms...feature individual air conditioning units and cable TV with HBO and Showtime. Robes are provided. A large stereoscope and Gramophone collection, as well as books and other reading material, are available throughout. 

About the Baths...The Zachariah Eddy House was built in 1831 as a Greek revival home and renovated in the late 1800’s with Colonial revival detail. It still retains most of its original beauty and charm. Bathrooms are located just a few steps away from each bedroom at either end of a common hallway. There are two baths and three guest rooms. At full occupancy one guest room is booked with a private bath and the other two guest rooms share the second bath. When occupancy allows, private baths may be actually available with two of the guest rooms. 

Copperbeech Room...nestled in the shade of a 200 year old copperbeech tree...features beautiful bird’s eye maple woodwork, a half turret vaulted ceiling and original inlaid design pattern parquet flooring. Make a selection from our library and curl up with a good book in the antique rocker, or perhaps on the built in window seat. As evening draws nigh, the brass bed beckons. Enjoy sweet dreams in this queen-size bed with a lush, top of the line mattress.

Guest Rooms

Cranberry Room...bright and airy with (4) large windows overlooking historic South Main Street. Decorated in hues of vibrant cranberry and emerald green, it brings to mind the region’s cranberry bogs at harvest. A spacious king-size bed insures comfort and is accented by a beautiful hand painted Trevor Watson antique English Victorian dresser. A twin bed option (2) is available on request.

The Milliner’s Room...offers a charming antique Victorian full-size bed and an interesting collection of ladies and gentlemen’s hats. Of special significance is the original gold leaf sign from an early 1900’s milliner shop, “Bon Mode” owned and operated by the innkeeper’s grandmother.
