Girls Getaway

Mystic was a great meeting spot for a small group of friends. We decided to go with VRBO vs. a local hotel to give us a more comfortable space to sit and talk, and catch up. We spent two nights in this home and it was perfect! The location is superb. Coffee and restaurants are steps from the front door. We spent lunchtime in the backyard on the brand new deck. The kitchen is a perfect size, the bedroom is very comfortable, and we also set up an air mattress in the living room. The home has lots of character and is very charming. Our host Lynsey could not have been more accommodating and responsive. I highly recommend this location for a getaway in Mystic.

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.

Unfortunate weather situation

This property is in a perfect location. Close to all the wonderful shops and restaurants and sites in Mystic. It’s extremely clean and well furnished. Unfortunately, there was flooding going on in the neighborhood and the sump pump is very old in this historic home. It continuously went off around the clock. It was extremely loud and it was difficult to sleep. I contacted Lindsey immediately and she did take a while to respond but then was very apologetic and compensated us for the inconvenience. We tried to stay the full three days, but could not rest while we were in the home. She credited us for the last day and was appropriately apologetic. She said this issue is going to be addressed immediately, and if it is corrected, this would be a wonderful place to stay.

Excellent choice

This historic home checks all the boxes: convenient location; comfortable furniture and bed; well thought-out decor that is stylish and enhances the home; efficient kitchen; parking; strong water pressure in the shower; homey vibe; full size washer & dryer; quiet neighborhood; did I say the location couldn't be better? Thank you, Lynsey!!!

Host was responsive and the location was great. We really appreciated the attention paid to the details. Having kids Tupperware available and toys made the stay enjoyable for us and our 1.5 year old toddler. Would recommend the place to any couples with a young kiddo in tow. Furniture placement was great with no sharp corners that a kid can fall on. Would stay again.

Great stay in a great place

The apartment it’s very convenient to downtown, but in a very pretty and peaceful neighborhood. We found the house in perfect order, and very comfortable. There are all the basic kitchen necessities, although we ended up doing most of our cooking at daughter’s house in Noank. The owner provided clear directions and was always easy to reach. We had a great time and hope to return soon!

Perfect Family Getaway!

This house is in a perfect location for visiting Mystic. The house is located on a quiet street within walking distance of downtown. The house has classic New England charm. The first level of the house is perfect for small children, the house is all one level with no lips/molding on the floor-great for a wobbly toddler. The house is simple and comfortable. We enjoyed blowing bubbles in thr backyard, and listening to the birds. There is AC in the bedroom, which worked well. The ceiling fans helped the rest of the house feel comfortable. There is a portable AC that we didn't use. This place is perfect for a small family. I highly recommend for any family wanting an easy getaway!

Charming & comfortable weekend away

Lynsey’s spot is on a quiet block but close to all Mystic has to offer. We loved being able to walk into downtown Mystic for food and shopping. It was also an easy walk to the Seaport Museum. The house was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The instructions to access the house were clear, and it was nice that there was parking available. The linens/bedding was nice - not a huge thing for me usually but something I noticed and appreciated. The host left some complimentary cider for us to try which was a nice touch :) Would stay here again and recommend to others looking to spend time in the area.
