Our family of six adults and three children spent five nights in this amazing property right on the Mystic River. The location is amazing and the property is clean and comfortable and there is plenty of parking. The host could not have been nicer and went above and beyond to make sure everything was as it should be.

fantastic family fun!

Comfortable, convenient, and charming! The house was well equipped and the views -- especially at night -- were enchanting. Communication with the host were outstanding -- easy and gracious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Just returned from a great Mother’s Day weekend at this beautiful historic house. I love that they really kept with the theme of the home in their decor. Not only is the home located in a picture perfect spot but once you park your car you never have to get in it again until it’s time to go home. The location was in walking distance to the many wonderful restaurants, boutiques and bars in town. The house was also equipped with everything you could ask for and the check-in and checkout were as easy as could be. Gerard was wonderful to work with! Would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing, easy getaway.

Historical charm

Beautiful location on the water just steps from town. Great outdoor spaces. Perfect accommodations for us, our 3 adult children and their spouses while attending a wedding. Well equipped with everything you need. Would be very well equipped for children as well, lots of toys games books and equipment.

Perfect property and perfect locations. Used the bikes and kayaks. We ranged from 9 to 80 years old and all enjoyed. Waking up and go to bed with watching the Mystic River. Highly recommend this property and Gerard was only a text away. Thanks Gerard

Our stay at this property exceeded all of our expectations. We felt welcome for our first message from our host and that warmth was only deepened when we stepped into these remarkable and historic buildings. It was everything we wanted for our family group, to visit, explore and make memories. The location cannot be beat as we sound ourselves nestled in the heart of Mystic, CT. Water views, soft church bells and quaint shops frame this home away from home. With ample parking, this home offers a wonderful spot for all that Mystic has to offer…even if you never leave this house. Thank you for a wonderful stay, and we highly recommend anyone looking for a special and memorable stay, or even just a comfortable place to spend time away on the shore, stay here!
