We had a wonderful stay in Mystic. Our hosts were responsive to email, as well as accommodating when it because clear we’d need to leave early to avoid a blizzard. The house is, indeed, charming and very clean, with everything one would need for an extended stay. We appreciated the extra touches, like plenty of caffeinated and decaf coffee, Perrier, nuts, and cookies. The house is well-located, just a short walk from downtown shops and restaurants and sites in that area. Easy parking for three vehicles. We highly recommend this little historic house and only wish we could have been there in better weather to enjoy the back yard and fire pit.

Our stay in Mystic was absolutely wonderful! The house was quaint, charming, and spotless - clearly very well cared for. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing girls trip. The location couldn’t be better - just a short walk to downtown Mystic with its great shops, restaurants, and waterfront. The host was exceptionally responsive and made sure everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mystic. J.

We have been visiting Mystic for 20 years almost yearly. We have stayed at many different places. This house is very cute, it’s small but has personality and is in a good location. I would say a family of four fits nicely, anything more would be a bit much. It was clean. It’s in a convenient location and we were able to walk to all our favorite coffee shops, restaurants, and ice cream shops. The house has pretty much everything you need and the hosts were very easy to get in touch with and had labels and books to help guide you through any little obstacle an older house like this may have. Thank you for letting us stay at your home. We will definitely add this to the list of locations we like to stay in the Mystic area.
