Boyd's Windmill, also known as Boyd's Wind Grist Mill, is a historic smock mill in Middletown, Rhode Island. John Peterson built the windmill in 1810, and William Boyd purchased it in 1815. It originally had four common sails, but four more were added by the family. The mill is a timber-frame structure, octagonal in shape, and about 30 feet (9.1 m) tall, with a rotating cap powered by eight vanes with canvas sheets.
The mill is located on a public area so the grounds are open. The windmill itself is open to the public on Sunday afternoons in July, August and September.

The East Island Reserve Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The East Island Reserve Hotel was absolutely amazing--an incredible value for what you get! The accommodations felt more like a stylish apartment than a hotel room. The unit had a fully equipped and well-supplied kitchen, a cozy living room with a pull-out sleeper sofa, and even a convenient half bath downstairs. The upstairs featured a comfortable separate sleeping area and a full bathroom, making it perfect for relaxing or traveling with family. I was beyond impressed with the comfort, cleanliness, and overall experience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!"
