I love Block Island, have been visiting for years. Dodge Cottage is ideally located, easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Our room was pleasant and comfortable. No complaints about anything.

Nice little getaway!
Nice, clean room. Service was great and drove us down to the Cottage. Only a block away from the Main St so location was great. Good room for the price! If being nit picky, the shower head and shower curtain bar were old and could be replaced with modern fixtures. Curtain, tub were clean and had plenty of hot water. Be prepared if walking and not bringing a car with you. The 0.4 miles to the 1661 Inn for checking in, was up hill and not a easy walk. Plus, have to bring keys back too the Inn for check out.

Not as represented in the website or on Expedia. Overpriced, especially for what they give you. Would not have stayed there had we known the facts.

Dodge Cottage was very convenient to town. We could walk to shops and restaurants in minutes. Our room was comfortable and cozy and we even had parking right outside our door. The breakfast buffet at the 1661 house was expansive and delicious, and the service was excellent. We really appreciated how warm and friendly everyone was and it was so nice that there was actually a bell hop who drove us and our luggage to the cottage and even carried everything inside. We would definitely stay there again.

One of the windows was unable to be closed and locked. Although this was in a very, very low crime area, we would have liked to secure the room when we left. The bathroom was small without adequate space to put "things". Generally, the room was comfortable and pleasant.

We would have liked to stay at 1661 and not Dodge… we were surprised that we were not at 1661. We would want to stay there the next time but I think we must book way in advance or off season!! Everyone was terrific at 1661 Thank you…Too bad we had rain most of our stay and didn’t enjoy the beach, enjoyed our talks with staff and visitors, Refreshing

Room was in excellent condition and big for Block Island; plus we were surprised to see a nice kitchenette with large refrigerator. Have stayed on Block Island many times over the years, by far the best property we have rented. It will be our go to in Block Island from here on out. Its association with 1661 Properties was a big plus, lots of benefits and one of the nicest buffets breakfasts on the Island.

Great Weekend Stay
Great room! Towards the front of the house so you can hear people on the porch. Comfy bed. Definitely need to request more TP in the bathroom during your stay because they give you only one roll. Convenient Bike racks in the front !

Dodge Cottage - thumbs up!
Staff are fantastic! Friendly and professional. I love the cottage, very cozy and clean. Breakfast is terrific especially when Rita came around with fresh veggies from their farm across the street from the 1661 Inn. If I were to have any complaints it would be hot water. It’s been years since I’ve stayed anywhere where the hot water disappears when your neighbor turns on their shower. It’s an easy fix. Also, maybe a chair in the room. Doesn’t have to be big or elaborate, just nice to sit and watch tv or read without having to mess up the bed. Oh yeah the bed could use a new mattress. It’s a bit saggy. Overall the place is nice. I will be coming back, maybe to stay at the Inn.

Enjoyed our stay at the Dodge House. Location was ideal, close to town. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Housekeeper did a great job making sure we had clean linens every day. Especially liked sitting on front porch! Breakfast at the 1661 every morning was an added bonus!

Great location, right in town. Room was very clean. Had a private bathroom, AC and floor fan as an extra bonus. The staff at 1661 are so nice and accommodating (even after checkout). They kept our bags and gave us beach towels and offered their showering facilities after also. Breakfast is included too w bottomless mimosas!! We had a great time. Would definitely stay here again

We stayed at the Dodge Cottage, which is just down the road from the main 1661 Inn. It’s an adorable cottage, very clean and quaint. Only drawbacks we found were the tv was very finicky, and also the exterior walls did not have good soundproofing being an older building with old windows. People were outside talking on the porch at night and in the morning and it sounded like they were almost in our room since we were up front on the first floor.

Pluses definitely outweigh any minuses
Overall, it was a lovely stay. The 1661 Inn staff was amazing as was the included breakfast! The location is also a big plus. The only somewhat negative was the mattress/bed which my husband and I did not find as comfortable as as hoped. Also, there were knobs missing in one of the bureaus with the screws sticking out, and two cracked light plates. Little things, but am abit surprised by that. However, I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful the staff, location, front porch setup and the breakfast were!!!
