Block Island Cottage Rentals | Farm Stay at Spar Point Farm

Island Sanctuary for your Group Endeavour

Step away from the noise, and immerse yourselves in a landscape shaped by undisturbed nature, ocean views, and the soothing rhythm of the waves.

Retreat

Space to Breathe.
Time to Be.

Whether you are hosting an academic writing retreat, a transformative wellness immersion, a creative workshop, or a collaborative team getaway, Spar Point Farm offers the rare luxury of undisturbed peace.

We don’t believe in rigid schedules—we work closely with you to adapt our spaces and pace to your group’s unique itinerary. While our retreat season runs during May, June, September, October, and November, your time here within those months will feel entirely your own.

Workshops

What Will We Do?

We believe that deep work is best balanced by grounding hands-on experiences. To complement your daily goals, we invite your group to step away from the desks and mats to partake in the authentic rhythms of farm and island life.

Depending on the season and your interests, we can curate additional activities for your itinerary:

Sourdough Artisan Baking Class: Gather around for a starter-to-baking bread-making class to learn about each step of this age-old magical process.

Foraging and Brewing: Join us for our seasonal (fall only) trek around the island to forage for wild apples and pears from magnificent feral fruit trees, and then process and press the fruit to launch the cider fermentation process.

Garden-to-Table Cooking: Harvest fresh ingredients straight from our soil and enjoy a meal crafted from whatever our garden provides.

Beekeeping & Honey-Spinning: Get a fascinating, hands-on look at our hives and learn about the farm’s vital pollinators.

Sailing & Kayaking: Relax on a skippered sail boat for an afternoon of sailing in the Block Island Sound, or kayak around the Great Salt Pond and its connecting estuaries for fresh air and perspective.

Clamming: Learn how to harvest mollusks in Great Salt Pond.

Biking: Explore the island’s land and coastal treasures by bicycle. Depending on the time of year, guided scenic bike tours may be available for trekking over paved, dirt and gravel roads with multiple stops along the way.

Hiking and Nature Tours: Discover the unique ecology of the Island with the Block Island Trail System to clear the mind and inspire new ideas – over 30 miles of nature-conservancy managed trails! Also, Block Island is one of the premier bird-watching destinations on the east coast, and local naturalist and friend-of-the-farm Kim Gaffett (https://rinhs.org/events/awards/distinguished-naturalist-award/kimberley-gaffett/) seasonally offers guided bird-watching tours.

Note: Some of the outdoor activities mentioned above depend on the season and weather

Cottages

Can We Fit?

Wild nature outside, immaculate comfort inside.

The Barn (Multifunctional Indoor Space): The second story of the barn is an open, clean, but currently unfinished space (big plans to come!). Depending on the season, it may be used as a large indoor gathering space for meals, a yoga or meditation space, or workshop/lecture area.

The Farmhouse: For particular occasions, we are happy to host a group on the large porch of the farmhouse for a farm-to-table locavore dinner gathering – overlooking the ocean, underneath the stars, embraced by lantern light.

The Great Outdoors: A large meadow on a gentle hillside along the vineyard can serve as a vast earthen mat for yoga or meditation, or be enjoyed for picnics, various outdoor sports (frisbee, cornhole, tossing a ball around) or ad hoc gatherings. Artists and other peace-seekers may enjoy some particular hilltop vantage points along the south wall of the farm to lose their thoughts in an expansive view of scenic pasture lands carved by ancient stone walls wandering toward the ocean. Folks may also gather around the fire pit in the evenings to bask in the glow of a roaring fire. And beyond the farm, the island itself provides a rich outdoor tapestry of virtually endless exploration and adventure.

Each cottage features its own distinct New England architectural charm, and is spaced across the farm to ensure a balance of proximity, privacy and peace.

Cottages

No crowds. Just you, the wind through the vines, the rhythm of the Atlantic, and the mystical chime of distant buoys.

A restorative space to heal, breathe, forage, and ferment good ideas.

Food

What Will We Eat?

The Farm Table: Enjoy simple, honest staples straight from the land. We can provide your group with seasonal produce from our gardens, warm loaves of Jose’s signature sourdough, fresh eggs from our hens, and a generous supply of honey from our own hives. We can also source a variety of local seafood (lobster, oysters, claims, squid, whole fish) from our local community partners.

Cook or Be Catered To: Choose a communal, self-catering experience using our fully equipped kitchens (Vineyard Cottage and Ocean-View Cottage), or let us connect you with our favorite local chefs and community partners to handle the menus for you.
