Grounds of Jacob Hill Inn

Activities

We are located on a peaceful county estate; close enough to Providence to see the skyline over the tree tops. This makes our location Perfect! Accessible to take advantage of all the opportunities a major city has to offer in terms of culture, shopping, fine dining and entertainment yet return to a very relaxing environment to unwind. Central to several major day trip attractions all within an hour away, there are rich exploring options in all directions. You can easily stay as busy as you want for at least a week. We have provided you with some ideas on our Day Trip Destination page. Below you will find additional ideas or answers to questions. This is a preview, once you arrive the owners and their staff will provide you with accompanying brochures, maps and most important customized directions leaving and returning to the Inn.
