Great stay in Mystic

We rented Michelle’s home for a group of six and a baby for a wedding weekend. The location was perfect and the home was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. Michelle kindly reached out a week before our stay to ask preferences for coffee tea and other beverages. Michelle also provided a tour of the home when we arrived to ensure we knew how to navigate the home. All in all, we had a great weekend.

Mystic Farmhouse review

We were attending a family wedding in Mystic on Memorial Day weekend. We stayed at Michelle’s farmhouse for 3 nights. Everything was immaculate and comfortable - just perfect. Michelle met us at the house and showed us everything. She was so lovely and thoughtful. She had pastry from Sifts, local wine and even everything to make s’mores! Her attention to detail was incredible. Definitely going to stay again !

Little Piece of Heaven

We were just so impressed with the house the yard, and the accommodations. The only thing we had to bring was food and clothes. We had a great time. Michelle could not have done any more to make our stay more wonderful. Only disappointment was that the beach close by, Mitchell Beach, was closed 9-4 Monday through Friday. We found another one. Thank you Michelle and Kevin.

Amazing stay at the Farmhouse!

All four of us agree that this was a five star stay in Mystic. The Farmhouse is beautiful, clean and well maintained. The location is perfect for exploring Mystic and surrounding areas. It is a short walk to downtown and anything we needed was within a 10 minute drive. Communication with our host, Michelle, was so easy and she reached out ahead of time to discuss any needs we might have and suggest so many good restaurants and local activities. We easily could have stayed and enjoyed another week.

A Home Away from Home

Our stay at this stunning vacation rental in Mystic was everything we could have hoped for. The property was impeccably clean and everything about it was 5-stars, even the linens. There is plenty of space in the house and the kitchen is fully stocked with almost any cooking appliance you would need. Neighborhood is quiet. It's obvious that the owner, Michelle, has put a lot of thought into making sure her guests feel at home and are fully equipped to enjoy their stay. The location was perfect for exploring Mystic and is well within walking distance of the downtown area, with side walks most of the way. We can't recommend this property enough and would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely winderful

My wife and I have stayed in many homes over the years and this home and host are at the top of the list. Exceptionally appointed with any appliance or amenity one could want, the home was comfortable for an entire family to enjoy not only the area but the home itself. Michelle thought of everything, from decoration and decor to making sure the home had anything one could need in a vacation home. We had a wonderful time and look forward to a return trip.

More than just a beautiful house!!!

The house was absolutely beautiful! Michelle took "super host" to a whole new level. She went over and above to make our stay a wonderful, memorable experience. From the moment we booked the house, Michelle was in contact with us. She sent suggestions for restaurants and things to do and see during our stay. When we arrived at the house, she was there to greet us with wine, local beers and pastries. The house was very well stocked with everything you could wish for or ever need during your stay. There was even stuff to make s'mores (even the sticks). She thought of everything. This is a perfect place for anytime of year. Highly recommend!!!

Awesome stay in Mystic!

This was our second stay at the Farmhouse and it was just as wonderful as our first. Michelle is the best host - thoughtful, communicative, and thinks of every detail. I love that we didn’t need to strip the beds and wash sheets on the way out, so easy! The house is absolutely beautiful and close to everything. We had a blast and hope to return!

The best Vrbo rental we have ever had!

Michelle was the most gracious host. 5 star service all around. The house was a dream. The house was prepped and stocked with everything you could ever ask for. We stayed for Easter weekend and Michelle showed up as the Easter bunny with eggs and a chocolate egg filled with pastries. We have stayed at multiple Vrbos in the past but no host has ever come close to the 5 star service and professional approach this couple takes when hosting guests.

It was a perfect home with all the amenities you could possibly ask for. It was warm and cozy. The host saw to the smallest details from supplies for s’mores to everything we needed for coffee the next morning. Just superb and words cannot express how delightful the town and people are.

Amazing, Charming, Perfect!

The Farmhouse was the most charming home I have ever stayed in! It was perfect for our girls' trip. The decor was beautiful and it made us feel like we were in a seaport town. Everything was beautiful down to the smallest detail. The Farmhouse had everything we needed both inside and out from dishes to blankets to patio furniture to games! The walk to downtown was short and enjoyable. Michelle, the owner, went out of her way to make sure we had endless recommendations and everything we needed. She stayed in touch with us the entire trip and was always there to help and make our stay the best possible. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the towels were super soft. The front porch was so comfortable with the porch swing and the back porch was perfect for evenings. I could not have asked for anything more in a home or a host - cannot wait to go back!

This house is absolutely STUNNING and the host Michelle goes above and beyond. She asked about our party and took the time to do some baby proofing and get out baby gates, cabinet locks, etc before our arrival. She also left beer, wine and coffee for me and my husband! Michelle sent activity ideas of fun things to do with the kids, too. The pictures don’t do the house justice it is beautiful and the location is great - quiet and close to everything. We are already booking for next April vacation! Thanks Michelle!

Best Mystic Experience

Traveling from DC by way of NY/NJ to see family, we landed on Mystic in hopes of a peaceful getaway with our 4 year old. We had four days of pure bliss, were so sad to leave and promised Michelle we would be back. The theme of our experience was attention to detail - from the impeccably clean home, beautiful decor, gourmet coffee and wine, s’mores, etc to the most thoughtful toy trinkets and bubbles for my daughter, Michelle is the definition of super host! Staying here is a full service experience - need activities, restaurant recommendations, etc - consider it done! You will not be disappointed. There isn’t one thing I would change - well, except that we didn’t stay longer!
