Very cute stay in a historic house. Great location for downtown and great to have a parking spot. LOVED the porch. Location is louder as the walls are thin. Would stay here again!

The 5 min walk to down town was great for planning our day trip around the sea town!
We had a wonderful stay at the house. The instructions to get in were clear. Parking easy, great location and very cozy, beautiful home. Hope to make it back one day.
Perfect area, few minute walk from the main strip. House is very clean, and very cool staying in such an old and well maintained home.

Its an older place so there are a lot of creaks and squeaks. The only bathroom is on the second floor. We didnt even bother bringing our luggage up the stairs as it was just too heavy and too cumbersome. Love the mini splits but I dont know if there is a way to turn off the display as it lights up the room while sleeping. Great location and walkable to everything.
Second time for us, staying at this home. Each time we have enjoyed it more. Very clean and comfortable. The location is great, easy to get around. The house itself makes you feel welcomed. The owner is extremely personable and very quick to answer any questions or concerns. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a relaxing get away.
A very, very short walk to historic downtown Mystic, and just down the street from delicious restaurants and cafes! We loved not having to worry about parking and being able to go back and forth between the house and downtown. The house had everything our family needed, and was very comfortable. The floors are very sloped, but that didn’t impact our experience. Lots of stuff for very young kids and Michael and Kevin were wonderful hosts!
The house is a very sweet old fashioned cottage but has all the important updates. The living/dining room is large and comfortable so it is great for spending time with friends and family. The host was friendly and the logistics were straight forward. Fantastic location. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others.
Very convenient to everything. This house reflects the true essence of Mystic with it's history and nautical influences. We had everything we needed for our stay. Just a few steps away from Main Street, it was far enough from the traffic and hustle & bustle. We will definitely return to this house for future visits to Mystic!
We loved our stay at this beautiful historic house in Mystic, located within close walking distance to the main street and river. Beds were comfortable and furnishings simple, historic, and tasteful. Be aware if you have mobility issues that, being a 150+ year old house, the floors are quite undulating! Thanks for a lovely experience.
The house is very welcoming and comfortable. The location is perfect. Great place to relax and enjoy after a day of touring in Mystic. The house is very clean and shows a wonderful attention to detail by the host. The host is extremely each to talk to and very responsive to questions. Hopefully going to return next year.
We loved this quirky historic home decorated with lots of interesting items yet all the “modern” amenities in the very comfortable living room and bedroom spaces. The location is fabulous- walking distance to the entire downtown area and across the street from two of the best restaurants in Mystic! The owner Michael is great, very proactive with check in and check out information and very responsive to any messages. We would come back in a heartbeat!
Because i have lived in Mystic, i knew exactly where this property was and it checked all my boxes. The location is so close to all things downtown Mystic has to offer. You can park your car and walk everywhere. Parking in Mystic has always been a problem, however now there is a huge parking lot at the end of Cottrel Street.
We had a great time at this Mystic house. We lucked out, snagging a last minute few days, at a very affordable rate for the area! The house was great - definitely on the older and quirky end. They weren't lying about the slanted floors...but it gives the house good character! It was a great size for our family of 5, with enough space to spread out if needed. The kitchen was small, but well stocked. The location was in perfect walking distance to downtown, to check out all the stores and restaurants. The driveway was a bit tough, depending on the traffic, so highly suggest backing into it if you can. Great weekend - highly recommend this place!
This home is in downtown Mystic. There is a view of the harbor. The location is ideal if you want to be downtown. The house is clean, comfortable and an antique. Communication with the owner was excellent. My only caveat would be if you have mobility issues know that the floors are slanted and the stairway is steep. It truly is an antique with antique decor throughout the home. The bedrooms are upstairs. We had a wonderful stay in Mystic.
This property truly is a stroll's distance from downtown. Mystic Pizza just a short walk away. (You really should eat there at least once.)
The house is right off the street but is very quiet in the evening, so no problem.
The description is accurate so remember the stairs are steep. The landing at the top is a pleasant spot to read in.
Beds comfy with a selection of pillows. Kitchen had all the basics needed.
This property is a wonderful place tostay to enjoy the amienceof southeastern, CT. Growing up in nearby Stonington, Mystic, CT has a special place in our hearts. We all live now in New Orleans, LA and Mobile, AL. We made a special visit so that my now daughter's fiancee' could propose to her in the Mystic, CT area. This home provided us with the ambiance of homes past lived in in the area. It is perfect for families.. It allowed us to create a special memory within the home's surroundings. The property manager was very accessible and welcoming.
We loved this property, just a short walk from the Mystic drawbridge and close to shops and restaurants. We especially loved the veranda for sitting and watching the boats coming out and returning. The house was quite roomy with two good sized bedrooms, a large dining room and spacious living room. The bathroom features a soaking tub! There was also a beautiful back deck that faces a famous sheer rock ledge that was perfect for morning coffee. The beds were comfortable and the A/C worked perfectly. The kitchen was well outfitted. It was a little loud for a brief period on Friday night, people coming and going to bars, restaurants, etc but it's really not a late night town so it quieted down quickly.
