Restored Historic Schoolhouse, Mystic River Views

This newly renovated, historic 1 BR/1 Bath former school house, is located directly on the Mystic River with amazing River views. . It started life as a one room school house. In 1857, it was moved to it's current location. Our design team meticulously furnished to create a unique historic atmosphere.

Sure, we're biased. But this cottage has the best of both worlds: sunlit indoor rooms, meticulously restored and furnished to embrace its history as a school house, plus outdoor space for entertaining, reading, or just lying around. There are great views of the Mystic River. The cottage, a restored, historic school house, also has a fully stocked kitchen and washer/dryer. There is WI-FI, TV with Amazon Plus so you can stream your favorite movies and shows. The family and dining areas are spacious and cozy. We are located on the river, across from the Seaport and very near the famous drawbridge.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire cottage. Guests also have access to a great outside garden area with umbrellas, tables, chairs, BBQ grill, and amazing River views. We also have bikes and Kayaks that are available to guests as well. It is important to note, the bathroom and Queen bed are located up stairs. The ceilings are very low on 2nd floor. The cottage is behind the main house, which is also available. It is, however, completely separate with its own full kitchen, washer dryer, and entrance. There is also ample parking.

Quick getaway
We took a short trip to Mystic with our 2 grandchildren. We all loved the charm of the property…a19th century schoolhouse, beautifully renovated and updated, yet keeping with some original features. The proximity to the downtown area was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere. The host, Gerard, was a dream to communicate with, checking in with us several times. It was a perfect rental!

This house was an 11/10...absolutely amazing!! We had very high hopes, and they were even surpassed! From the moment the booking was made Gerard was extremely helpful and accommodating with clear and friendly communication. The house was perfect, with everything that you could possibly need. The property is right in town and everywhere that we went was within easy walking distance. We stayed for 3 nights in January, and used the bikes provided at the house for a gorgeous ride around the Mystic River. The house was extremely clean and everything was very well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots/pans/appliances allowing us to cook some meals at home. We walked into town for dinner at the Port of Call and had one of the best dinners we have ever had, and then scored some delicious coffee and pastries the next morning at Sift (also within walking distance). There is plenty to do in town and in the surrounding area even in the winter! Can't recommend this spot enough, we had such a lovely getaway!

House was exactly as advertised except closer to town than we thought! Perfect space for 2 adults and a Cocker Spaniel. We booked next year before we left!

difficult for older guests
Stay was very nice as it always is in Mystic. Home was ideally located, clean, and well stocked. My wife and I are both in our 70's. Stairs to second floor bedroom , bathroom were steep and difficult to climb. Second Floor ceilings were extremely low and we bumped our heads a number of times.

Love the Schoolhouse
Went on a brief getaway to Mystic and the only down side was we only got to stay 2 nights in the Schoolhouse. Amazing location! Right in the middle of Mystic, but set back just enough to be quiet. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Perfect spot for Mystic getaway!
This location is ideal for a couple to enjoy all things Mystic has to offer! It is literally right in downtown, but on a side street overlooking the Mystic River and drawbridge. Peaceful yet steps away from the hustle and bustle of what has become a highly trafficked area. Having off-street parking was SUCH a great feature, along with the outdoor seating overlooking the water, fully equipped accommodations (towels, soaps, spices, grill) and very responsive host! The only note to add is the 1 bathroom is located upstairs and the ceilings are a little low/slanted due to age and design of house. While you could technically sleep 4 in this location, it may be a bit tight from the bathroom perspective. Overall great find - will be booking again in the future!
