Rhode Island, dubbed as the Ocean State, is the smallest state in the USA. Interestingly enough, many of its attractions are actually large mansions. The Breakers, which was built sometime in 1895, is one such home. This Gilded Age mansion was built by a Vanderbilt and features over 70 rooms. Another famous home in the state is Marble House, which was another mansion owned by the Vanderbilts and was built at around the same time. Meanwhile, The Elms was owned by coal magnate Edward J. Berwind and was designed to resemble Château d'Asnière, a French home built sometime in the 18th century. While these homes are huge, Rhode Island also has tiny houses that are available for rent if you want to stay in a charming holiday home. Check out this list of the best tiny houses for rent in Rhode Island, USA, for options.
