About this property

Mystic Home Just Steps from Downtown! Access to Mystic River & lots of parking

The Purple House is just steps from the heart of vibrant downtown Mystic AND has private river access through the backyard . Enjoy the very best food destinations, ice cream, seaport museum, boat/kayak/SUP rentals, and river cruises without ever needing a car! The Purple House also offers DIRECT ACCESS TO THE MYSTIC RIVER, where you can relax on the lawn or dock, enjoy the sights and sounds of the drawbridge and boats, or launch a kayak or SUP!

The Purple House is a beautiful 1898 painted lady Victorian just one block off Main St in downtown Mystic. It is walking distance to the train station, Mystic Seaport, Mystic Museum of Art, downtown playground, Mystic River, and Mystic Pizza! It's also just a 5 minute drive from the Mystic Aquarium and Olde Mystic Village and 20 minutes from Watch Hill, Misquamicut, Foxwoods, and Mohegan Sun Casino.

The house has a modern eat in kitchen as well as a large dining room for family gatherings. The entire house has sleeping accommodations for a total of 13 guests.
The 3 upstairs bedrooms can accommodate 9 guests, which includes a queen and twin day bed in one bedroom, two full beds in a second bedroom, and two twin beds in the third. Bedroom 4 is on the main floor with a queen size bed. This is a great spot for those who would rather not climb stairs to the second floor rooms. The Living Room also has a pull out couch that can accommodate 2 more people. There is a full bath on both the upper and lower levels. An inviting front porch offers comfortable seating while you take in the sound of the church bells from across the street. A shady backyard also offers a wonderful place to relax and recharge.

While we want our guests to have a respite from the pressures of modern life and spend time in each other’s company, there is high speed Internet access. There is also a large (over 100) collection of DVD movies in the living room and the Smart TV allows you to hook up to your own Netflix subscription. As long-time residents of the area, we also offer a review of area restaurants that only a local could provide! Of course, we also encourage guests to add their own reviews as well as the restaurant scene is always evolving!

Use your time in Mystic to slow down- Have a BBQ in the back yard, take a walk to our dock on the river and hang out, or just walk to your heart's content through town, to the beaches, or into the nature preserves all within easy access of Connecticut's most beautiful river town!

There is nothing better located to downtown while also offering access to the Mystic River with the space and charm of this beautiful home. Take advantage of a great deal!

Wonderful!
The house and the amenities were excellent. Everything was provided. It is within walking distance of almost everything. Our host greeted us shortly after our arrival and pointed out several things. He responded very quickly when we needed more washcloths. We strongly recommend the "Purple House."

Charming house with loads of character in a killer location.
Our blended family that included a newborn, two tweens, two 20-something new parents and two new grandparents had plenty of room in this delightfully charming old home just steps away from Main Street in downtown Mystic. The small backyard was large enough to host a July 4th BBQ with additional family who joined us there as well. Our host, Joe, was very attentive and responsive all weekend long. We all enjoyed our stay at "The Purple House" immensely and would certainly recommend it to anyone with a large party looking for something walking distance to all that Mystic has to offer. Five stars, for sure!

Roomy and very convenient location
Very roomy and a prime location with lots of parking. It’s definitely nothing fancy, but that’s what we were looking for. I would stay here again.

Hi, I'm Joe. I love living in Mystic and I've been here over 10 years! I try to spend as much of time as possible on the water when weather allows! Please reach out if you have any questions about Mystic or the Property itself.

Why they chose this property

One of the best locations in the heart of downtown Mystic AND with Mystic River access!
We've been renting this house for years! Not sure?? Then check out the great reviews on AirBnB!

What makes this property unique

We offer access to a dock right on the river next to the drawbridge. A great place to relax and watch the comings and goings through the drawbridge!
