The historic home was lovely. It was clean, quiet, and walking distance to downtown Mystic. We enjoyed our coffee on the back porch every morning. Parking was great. Super easy check in and great communication. We would love to come back and stay here again.

Terrific stay! The description is accurate. The house is really nice and comfortable. It is in a very convenient location. Close to everything, practically in the center of town, but managing to be in a quiet neighborhood. Considering the location, the stay was a real deal. We had a terrific time and would definitely stay again if the opportunity presents itself.

Beautiful historic home in downtown Mystic, very well-stocked for ANYTHING you may ever think of. It's 30 minutes from the beaches but you can find less crowded spots nearby to swim. The host has all kinds of literature for you to find things to do. Just walking downtown is the most fun at night. There was an art festival the weekend we were there (lucky!), but we went to the aquarium which was less than 10 minutes away. Really comfy bed and the host was on the spot with communication. She was really sweet

If you're visiting Mystic, this is THE place to stay. The owner is an amazing communicator. She provided all the information I needed before we arrived. The home is charming, the beds are comfortable, and the home is very well-stocked. And the home is within walking distance of downtown Mystic. We were able to walk to the drawbridge, to dinner, and for ice cream. Just a wonderful place - I can't recommend it enough!

The location of the house is excellent. It is in easy walking distance to downtown Mystic. The house has character in it that one would expect from a home of this age but has the modern convivences one needs. There is plenty of space in the house and having a washer and dryer is a real plus. The host was very responsive.

About the host

Host profile image

This home is owned by Lynsey (me), my twin sister Heather and our brother, Chris.

I live in eastern Connecticut with my husband Gregg and our two boys so we fully understand the need for a peaceful living space, especially on vacation! Heather and her husband, Troy, live in Arizona with their three boys and Chris lives in Idaho.

We welcome families, couples needing a retreat or a small group of people looking for a getaway. Thank you for visiting!

Why they chose this property

This home has been passed down through several generations of our family. We grew up in the house and have many fond memories of riding our bikes around the neighborhood, visiting the Seaport and Aquarium, making forts in the dining room and spending family time together. It's our goal to provide you with a wonderful place to make your own memories!

What makes this property unique

The location cannot be beat! less than a minute walk from the drawbridge, restaraunts and shops, and about a five minute walk to the main entrance of the Seaport. Our large yard offers privacy and a nice area for families to enjoy their time.
