Spend a weekend on beautiful, unspoiled Block Island and you might as well be hundreds of miles away from Rhode Island, rather than a mere twelve! Win this 3-night stay at Hygeia House and the staff will make sure your mind never wanders back to the mainland.

High on a hill overlooking both harbors, the newly restored Hygeia House has ten rooms, each with a private bath and water view. On the water and just steps from the beach, the Hygeia House offers tranquility in a fabulous location. Many guests are content to just grab a rocking chair on one of the porches and watch island life pass by. Continental breakfast is served daily.

While the building was "modernized" with bathrooms, electricity and efficient heating, it continues to honor the past and has become something of a museum honoring the generations of Champlins who are so much a part of its history.

Much of the original furniture remains in the inn, enhancing the authenticity of the experience. Original portraits grace the walls in guest rooms named for specific family members. Dr. Champlin's medical bags and school papers are on display in the room named for him, and in the room named for Bella, his daughter, are letters she wrote at the turn of the century.
