UCONN Graduation Family Weekend
Absolutely wonderful cottage. The owners have provided a very warm and welcoming environment with all of the comforts of home. Extra bonus is the location as the property is in downtown so you can walk to all that Mystic has to offer. The hosts were a delight to do business with as well and our family would return for another stay!

Perfect Stay
We had an amazing stay. The home was sparkling clean and had everything we needed. The host left a nice little welcome package of milk, butter and bagels. The location is perfect we only used our car once, we walked everywhere. I would 100% recommend this cottage and hope to come back again.

Weekend Getaway
Beautiful home in a great location. We loved walking to restaurants and taking in the sights of Mystic. Our Westie loved walking around town and watching the squirrels from the patio door. The home was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our Easter dinner.

An Oasis for Family
On the sixth anniversary of our daughter’s passing, we got together with another daughter, her husband, and their Australian shepherd dog for family time. It was chilly, but we enjoyed our time together. Mystic is a lovely spot, even in early March. Your home was a lovely oasis for us. Thank you!

A great meeting spot for families with kids
I came from NY with my 8 yr old and 5 yr old and met up w my sister from RI and her 5 yr old. We had a nice overnight at the cottage, playing with the Legos and reading books, sharing a meal after a day exploring the aquarium and shops. We hope to come back at some point! Thanks for a great, charming spot!

Best little house in Mystic
House was cute and convenient to town. The bathrooms were clean except for moldy windows shade. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was great- so nice to have milk, coffee and bagels! Loved the out door area - in the back. We’d stay again!

Mystic girls time
The property was perfect. There is a steep flight to the second floor, but we were informed about it before we booked. Just know both bathrooms are on the first floor. Property was spotless, perfect location for exploring Mystic and surroundings. Hosts were welcoming and easy to deal with. Well stocked kitchen.
