After A Day Of Hiking In Rhode Island’s Aust Family Preserve At Lime Rock, Check Into The Beatrice To Relax

Adventure’s never far away in Rhode Island. That means the less time we travel the more time we have for fun and exploration. When you’ve got an overnight free, set off on this getaway in Rhode Island that showcases some of its sheer natural beauty and includes plenty of time for relaxation in a beautiful Providence hotel. Perhaps even better, this unforgettable Rhode Island adventure won’t break the bank.

Slip on your favorite comfy shoes for a few hours of exploring Aust Family Preserve at Lime Rock in Lincoln. Nestled on 130 cozy acres, the nature preserve packs a powerful scenic punch.

The three-mile trail system that meanders through the nature preserve makes it easy to explore. Each of the four trails tallies under a mile each, making it simple to follow all of them, if you’re up for it.

At just .04 of a mile, the Railway Trail will take you past old trolley tracks. Keep an eye out for frogs on the trail. The longest trail is just .09 of a mile and promises gorgeous views of Manton Pond.

As you wander along the trails and through the hardwood forest, you’ll likely cross paths with local wildlife. Deer, skunks, raccoons, and foxes call the nature preserve home.

A quiet day in nature provides the perfect prelude to an evening of relaxation at The Beatrice Hotel in Providence. The boutique hotel is only about a 15-minute drive from the nature preserve.

Like the nature preserve, the Rhode Island hotel is quite cozy with just 47 rooms and suites. Enjoy a slew of luxury amenities, including heated towel racks, WiFi, organic bath products, and a mini fridge.

Don’t leave your pup at home, either. Dogs are allowed at Aust Family Preserve at Lime Rock and at The Beatrice. Your pup will even have his own food and water bowl in the room and will receive a treat.

The luxury Rhode Island hotel is also home to several dining spaces, including Bellini’s Providence, a fine dining experience. The Hope & Main Downtown Makers Marketplace has quick meals you can buy and take with you.
