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.

Mystic Getaway

The historic property was as advertised and we'll equipped with a brand new deck and nice yard. The unit was updated and cozy which came in handy when some spotty showers swept through the area. The host was very easy to communicate with and extremely helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay her again.

About the host

Hosted by Lynsey Malone

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.
