The 1661 Resort

We love Block Island and come out a few times a year, so this was the perfect fit for our elopement! We stayed at the Farm and Garden Cottage (Campbell) as this space was pet friendly. The cottage was adorable and updated with modern furnishing and a full kitchen. Our favorite bit was being so close to the farm and visiting with the animals in the morning. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean, we felt right at home. I appreciated that they called us every day and asked if we wanted service, which was helpful as we had the dog and did not need cleaning each day.||The staff is great and friendly. We appreciated the morning breakfast and afternoon wine and nibbles each day. 1661 is a great place to stay, all their properties are wonderful and are open year round. They made our w

Just had a wonderful 2 night stay. The jacuzzi tub was wonderful. I feel so rested and relaxed, exactly what you want from a vacation. Breakfast was generous and why not have a mimosa at 9am? The 4:00 bites and sips was also lovely and a nice moment to interact with other guests and attentive staff. The farm across the street was a delight! A camel?! Kangaroos and lemurs?! Can’t wait to come back in warmer weather.

My husband and I spent the weekend of October 11 2025 at 1661 Resort. The breakfast buffet, and the "wine and nibbles" served at 4:00 every afternoon were delicious...and at no extra charge. However the true test of their excellent hospitality was proven when a hurricane came roaring in on Sunday. There would be no more ferries until Wednesday morning. So our original two nights became four. Our extra nights were chanrged at half price. Our original room was in a second building a 5 minute walk away, but for the last two nights we were moved to the main building. It was a spacious, beautiful room with a bathroom you dream about. The breakfast and afternoon nibbles were still provided every day, even though the extra guests were not planned and there were no ferries coming in with supplies.

An off-season stay at the 1661 Inn is pure magic, and this weekend was everything we needed—peaceful, cozy, and completely rejuvenating. We stayed in our favorite room, The Arthur, which feels like a private retreat with its fireplace, amazing hot tub, and unforgettable shower with 12 shower heads.||We loved the thoughtful touches that make the 1661 Inn so special, especially the afternoon Wine and Nibbles and the Champagne breakfast each morning—such a relaxing and indulgent way to start the day. Our days were spent walking the beaches, playing the Great Game and discovering new sights, enjoying local traditions like the Lobster Pot Christmas Tree and checking nightly for the Block Island Glass Float, and even catching a Jamaican fundraiser with great local musicians at Yellow Kittens.||O
