This is the closest brewery to Woodhaus and right near downtown Westerly. The story of this place is very cool and they have come such a long way in the last few years! The owners are fantastic and they have all kinds of drink options as they also own a distillery now (South County Distillery). They also have brick oven pizza and games. This is a favorite of ours!

Neighborhoods
If you head down to the CT wineries, make your way over to the Stonington Borough. Such a quaint, beautiful little town center where you can walk around and look at the beautiful historic homes, grab lunch, or head down all the way to the end of the borough and check out the little lighthouse. The borough is about 20 minutes from Woodhaus.

The Ocean House is a historic luxury hotel that has been restored and it now Rhode Island's only 5 diamond resort. It's absolutely incredible. You can expect upscale dining and excellent service. They have a upscale dining room, a more casual grill room, and you can always grab cocktails on the patio with an incredible view of the ocean. Dress code here is resort casual but they are very strict. For evenings, gentlemen are required to wear collared shirts, jackets are recommended, and cocktail attire is recommend for ladies.

Walking / Hiking
Right off the back of the property is the Woody Hill Management Area. There's a trail called the Woody Hill Loop you can find here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/rhode-island/woody-hill-loop. Our house is at the top of the loop so you may be able to hook up to it right from the house but I don't have personal experience doing it so I don't have a ton of guidance there.

Napatree Point has a gorgeous loop-walk right on the beach! It's in the Watch Hill part of town which is where Taylor Swift lives :) The Napatree trailhead is about 3 miles or so. If you decide to do this walk, drive right into downtown Watch Hill and find a spot either on the street or in the parking lot near the Watch Hill Yacht Club. Parking is free for 2 hrs. Walk to the back of the parking lot (towards the water) and in-between the shops and the yacht club and you'll see the beach entrance there. While you're in watch hill, go to St. Claire Annex for lunch or ice cream. It's a walk-up window but don't let it fool you, their food is simple but good. Great lobster roll too! There's also the Olympia Tea room where Taylor Swift's dad is often found having lunch :) It's a little more upscale so I don't recommend beach wear for that place, but still an option if you think it fits your plans. Great little shops in Watch Hill too. On your way out of Watch Hill, drive by the Ocean House. It's a historic luxury hotel that has been restored and it now a 5 diamond property. It's absolutely incredible.
