This was our 4th stay over years at 26 School House Rd.The home offers great amenities including a large gourmet kitchen with an amazing array of glass fish that light up! A beautiful sunroom to enjoy dinners while looking out over the Mystic river. Spacious bedrooms with AC. Beautiful yard and dock to relax on. The weather was fantastic lending to walks in the morning and gorgeous sunsets at night. We even walked to Enders Island a few times. Mystic offers wonderful restaurants and shops as do neighboring towns. Glori, the host, was gracious as ever!

The description of the property and photographs were accurate.Outside was tidy, with chairs around. A wonderful view of the Mystic River inlet.It was quiet-the nearest house several hundred yards away, Birds were abundant-Osprey, ducks, egrets, heron, and more. A nice place to launch kayaks.Inside, decorated nicely, clean and comfortable. Windows provided views of the river, passing boats and wildlife. The kitchen had everything you could want, from lobster boiling pots to dishes. The place was clean. Tidy. Organized.Glori was very responsive to any questions. She provided a list of recommendations, from specialty shops to restaurants. We visited some of them, she was correct! We will go back.

Family Visit

The home was perfect and in a wonderful location. Only a few miles from downtown mystic. You could go into town and do some exploring of the restaurants, shops and bars which is definitely well worth it or you could hang out, enjoy the awesome views and go for quiet walks. I have used a lot of VRBO's and Air B & B's in the past and this is definitely one of my favorites

I am glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you can come back again sometime. The person that cleans comment after you left is it is so nice to have a family that respects the home they are staying in and and leaves it in perfect condition when they leave. Glad you were able to make some great family memories.

Found the Impossible

This home is the rental I always dreamed of. Beautiful home - unbelievably well stocked - perfect location in a private, secluded area but within minutes of Mystic. Large yard for enjoying games - spacious sunroom that is so close to the water that you feel like you could dip your toes in the water while sitting there. Glori was wonderful and made sure everything was well tended to. We can’t wait to go back.

Amazing home

We had a wonderful week on Mason's Island. The School House Lane home was everything we expected and more. Gorgeous and not a spec of dust to be found. The kitchen was top-notch; all beds were comfortable. Even during the record-breaking heatwave, the house stayed comfortable and the air-conditioned bedrooms assured a great night's sleep. I loved watching the osprey nest from the upper bedroom window. Rare opportunity to see three osprey chicks take their first flights. Talk about a bird's eye view!! Glori was responsive and so helpful. She gave us great advice on sights and restaurants. Couldn't have asked for more. Five stars!!!

Regrettably, our rental period expired before we could spend enough time soaking in the views from the sunroom, watching the parade of yachts passing through the channel ¼ mile offshore in the Mystic River. Closer to shore and in the salt water marsh through the backyard, nature lovers will appreciate the diversity of birds. There’s even an osprey nest in a stand across the street.One of our favorite activities was starting our day with a morning stroll to Kitchen Little for breakfast. And the easy drive into town for late afternoon cocktails or dinner at any of the award-winning Mystic restaurants add to this home’s prime location.The home is clearly a treasured family estate. The owners have carefully blended mid-century modern characteristics with all of the contemporary conveniences renters expect. They were incredibly responsive to the slightest of issues. Our family had such a memorable time here that we will be booking another stay as soon as an opportunity becomes available. Giving it 5 stars doesn't do it justice.

Magical

We had an amazing time at this home. Mason's Island is a beautiful part of Mystic and this house cannot be beat. The view is everything!! But the house also delivers. The kitchen is amazing - we cooked a small Thanksgiving meal while there and we had more than enough available to us to make that happen. The rooms are set up to be cozy and enjoy the amazing views. The outside is nicely done with plenty to enjoy even in the colder months. Glori was delightful to work with - her list of things to know and activities to enjoy show how much she cares about her guests enjoying their stay. My whole family loved it - kids to adults - and we are all hoping to be able to return someday soon. Just a great experience all around!

Bird Haven by the Sea

We had the most amazing time watching all the birds on the surrounding property as well as relaxing and watching the waves. There is shore, marsh, ponds, grass, trees and bushes so you get great variety of birds. There are panoramic views out of almost every window of the house showcasing all the different scenery. The inside of the home is even better than it looked in the pictures. You really don’t need to leave the home. But if you do it’s also awesome that the most of the restaurants and shops are less than 10 minutes away. Great experience!

A Peaceful Retreat

This property was everything it was advertised to be and more. The home was very comfortable and had a homey atmosphere. Beds were extremely comfortable and the home did not lack for anything we needed. Owners were always available to answer questions and provided extensive information regarding restaurants, shopping and points of the interest in the area. Would definitely recommend this place and hope to visit it again.
