About this property

Located in an idyllic rural Stonington setting, this renovated icehouse is part of a colonial farm, built in 1749. Surrounded by local farms and all the natural beauty of the region, we are only a 10 minute drive to Downtown Mystic. Step back in time when you stay at this unique and historic place. The space combines historic country character with the modern amenities you need for a spectacular stay!

Built in 1749, by Nathan Crary while King George II was on the Throne in England, the land was a wedding gift from the Wheeler Family. This cottage was used as an ice house during that period., Located in rural Stonington, this timeless lovely colonial era gem combines classic country character with modern amenities designed for a relaxed stay. You are surrounded by acres of farm land in a serene setting. It is only a 4-mi ride to the Mystic Seaport, shops, and restaurants. Even closer to local Vineyards.

Serenity and seclusion in a rural setting, while being conveniently located

This residence offers an exceptionally well-curated environment, equipped with nearly every amenity you could desire for a delightful stay. The kitchen is notably well-stocked, providing all the essentials to effortlessly prepare gourmet meals. The interior design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also immaculate in cleanliness. This may very well be the most outstanding accommodation I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

Mystic Trip

The accommodations were exactly what we were hoping for plus more. The place was tastefully renovated and the perfect fit for our family. It was quiet and peaceful but no more than 10 minutes to everything we wanted to see and do. My daughter wanted to "move in" permanently!
