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.

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.

Historic charm, perfect location

Our little family of four enjoyed a spring break weekend getaway at this lovely historic home. The location was perfect, we walked just about everywhere. The Engine Room and Lis’ Bakery were both great and right around the corner. The home was just big enough for us, and was clean, comfortable, welcoming, and stocked with all the essentials —as listed. Host was lovely as well. We had a great time!
