“I was honored to have the opportunity to steward such a prominent and historic property as ‘Honeysuckle Lodge’,” said Doherty. “Ideally located on the Cliff Walk this legacy property will be enjoyed by the next generation for years to come.”

“Properties located on the Cliff Walk do not come to market often”, said Kendra Toppa, Lila Delman Compass’ Newport County sales manager. “Over the past two years Lila Delman Compass has been fortunate to participate in the majority of Cliff Walk sales.”
