The Dollhouse was the perfect spot for our family for graduation weekend. We loved the character of the house, the beautiful antique furnishings (though nothing felt too precious to be used and enjoyed), and the spacious indoor and outdoor places for us all to be able to gather. The house is an easy walk to Mystic shops, restaurants and attractions plus close to essentials like grocery store, cvs, train, etc. Kerri is a fantastic host who made everything about our stay easy, pleasant and stress free. We would stay here again and absolutely will recommend to friends and family.

Lovely comfortable home, with antique charm but beautifully updated with thoughtful touches. It is great for families and pets, stocked with games, baby equipment, books, and small but comfortable outdoor space. The beds were comfortable and cozy and everything felt clean and nice. The location is fabulous and easily walkable to downtown and very close to all attractions. I highly recommend and hope to visit again.

Kerri is an amazing host and her home is gorgeous! She was available to answer questions at a moments notice and is so friendly; you can tell how much she loves welcoming people to Mystic. My family stayed here the weekend of my wedding and we immediately felt at home. If you want a beautiful place to stay walking distance to everything Mystic has to offer then look no further!

The perfect stay

We absolutely loved the Dollhouse. My husband and I ‘eloped’ in Mystic with an intimate group and this was the perfect place to stay. The house was the perfect size for us and the location is right in walking distance of downtown. Kerri was an amazing host as well (the best I’ve experienced so far!).

A Great Family Time in Lovely Mystic

We really enjoyed staying in this charming home. It had plenty of rooms for gathering, a kitchen that worked for family cooking, a dining table that seated 8, and comfortable bedrooms. We enjoyed the decor as well as its functionality. We could walk to many shops and to the Mystic drawbridge, which the two grandsons particularly enjoyed, along with the nearby ice cream shop. I highly recommend staying here.

Mystic on My Mind!

We had a great stay. Lovely front porch and back deck. Plenty of conversation areas, a great dining room, air conditioning was great on our very warm days and the house was very well equipped. Also about a five minute walk to downtown Mystic! Will gladly return!

About the host

Hosted by Kerri Kemp

Host profile image
After a 30 year career in Human Resources, Labor Relations and Executive Management I have left the corporate world to consult and expand my coaching practice. I have lived in Mystic for 27 years and am excited to welcome guests to my home. I will be on property in a guest cottage with my sweet rescue dog Quincy.< I look forward to welcoming you!

Why they chose this property

Washington Street is a short walk to the center of Mystic, but on a quiet, tree lined street. After a full day of Mystic adventures return to The Dollhouse for relaxing quiet.

What makes this property unique

The Dollhouse is beautifully appointed with a coastal elegance feel designed to create warm family gathering spaces and peaceful quiet time. The back deck overlooks an enclosed garden sanctuary.
