About this property

Pease read the entire overview, including our location before booking!

The Iconic Dutch Bell is a historic home built in 1906 to be the waiting room and ticket sales for the Trolley riders when Randall's Wharf was the Trolley barn. Completely renovated and updated in 2021, this property offers the ultimate standard in downtown living with privacy and sophistication and the vibrant pulse of Mystic just steps away. The first floor has a renovated kitchen with maple countertops and gas range, bar seating, and ample entertaining space. The living and dining area are open to the kitchen with a gas fireplace, coffered ceilings, wood blinds, and wide pine floors running throughout. To the rear is a study with beautiful built-ins that seamlessly transitions to a third bedroom with a custom-made, Queen-size Murphy bed, and full bathroom. On the 2nd floor, there is a primary bedroom with a king bed, a full bathroom, and a "relaxation room" for quiet reflections, reading, or streaming your favorite Netflix series! To the rear is an airy and bright bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom. Each room is equipped with smart TV's and Amazon Alexa/Echo's so you can check on the weather or play sleep sounds or white noise. Out back, we've created a new, bluestone private patio nestled in the trees for al fresco dining. Off the front you will find a side deck for grilling and a beautifully landscaped area with a year-round fire pit for seating, relaxing and people-watching!

Please note : We have a ring doorbell installed on the rear entrance which is video enabled when guests arrive or depart. We use this feature only in the event of an incident and they are deleted every 30 days. If you have a concern please let us know in advance.

FABULOUS Location & BEAUTIFUL Home!

Better than the pictures even show. Absolutely gorgeous, perfect location...THE.PERFECT.STAY. My husband and I took our 11 year old twins, our 13 year old son and our dog for a 4 night vacation. Walking distance to restaurants and shops, 4 minute drive to aquarium and seaport. Would stay here again for sure! It was exactly what we needed. Owner was prompt in communication. We had so much fun at the house and in the town.

Dutch Bell Was A Hit!

Our recent stay at the Dutch Bell was a delightful experience. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the home was beautifully decorated- providing the linens and towels was a bonus. Being just a short distance from downtown was a game-changer. It allowed easy access to vibrant restaurants (our family loved Sift Bakery, Young Buns Doughnuts, and Mystic Drawbridge ice cream), shops, and attractions, making exploration effortless. The well-equipped kitchen and cozy living area (the fireplace was great when the evening turned chilly) added to the comfort, and the private parking space was a pleasant bonus. Overall, if you're looking for a clean, centrally located, and charming retreat, this property is an excellent choice. Highly recommended for a memorable getaway!

Excellent property

This property was an excellent choice for three couples for a weekend stay. Each of us had a lovely bedroo/bathroom with at least a queen bed. The bedrooms were separated, which gave us a great sense of privacy. We enjoyed dinner at the dining table that comfortably seated six adults. The home was beautiful, immaculate and the property manager was gracious and responsive. The property is right in downtown Mystic, which made it very convenient to walk to the shops and restaurants. There was an outside seating area with a propane fire pit, which would have been nice on a warmer evening than we had. We did enjoy the gas fireplace in the living room. One note, due to its location close to a bar and busy area, we did hear some street noise from the bedrooms. It didn’t bother me, but you might want ear plugs or head phones if you are sensitive to noise.

About the host

Hosted by Sheri Ann

I'm a very blessed father of 3 boys and a beautiful "wandering" wife who has our family on the move every chance we get! We love to travel and as a guest at VRBO and other vacation homes, we always treat them as our own and usually pick up a few great ideas in which we incorporate into our properties. We have come to appreciate the little details that make every stay enjoyable. I hope to give our guests the same experience when hosting them.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this home for many reasons, including the location. Park your car and you may not use it for the rest of the weekend! If you’re looking for a quiet getaway or prefer the sound of crickets to the sound of laughter or background music, ask us about our other local properties! Due to the proximity to downtown and the outdoor dining scene with rooftop dining and live music, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE YOU'LL HEAR IT, especially in the summer months. The restaurants usually stop serving before 10, however, there may be residual noise. We have Amazon Echo's in every room for checking on the weather or playing sleep sounds at night.
