New England Hospitality at the Carriage House

The Life Saver Room has a private bathroom and a private exterior entrance. Cozy up to a gas fireplace on cold nights, sleep soundly on a comfy queen pencil bed, dressed in lovely linens, and wake up rested to a beautiful mural! Treat yourself to something special!
We promise you will feel cared for the moment you walk through the door- from the warm welcome to a specially prepared bed- made just for you!
The Space The Life Saver's high ceilings make the room feel spacious, and the half-circle window up top lets in lots of light—especially nice when days are short.
The front windows of this bedchamber overlook the gardens and gazebo. The field and stone walls out back are also lovely views.
During your stay, you will have a mini fridge for your perishables, a Kuerig, and coffee/tea supplies for your morning cup.

The Lifesaver room was charming and very nautical. So many details, decorations and antiques to look at. Debbie is an excellent host. She made it a very personal welcoming stay, from the welcome note to the Apple pie and all the little extra details. She is the best hostess we have encountered!

Nice Getaway!
My wife and I had a great stay! Deborah makes the whole process very easy and is very informative. She gets back to you very quickly if you have any questions. This was our second time staying at one of her properties. It was just as great as the first!
We stayed here last minute after deciding to go to Mystic for a night and from our one night stay we can say we will purposely be making trips and staying here in the future. Not only was the room sparkling clean and comfortable so much care was put into making the place feel like home. The decor was so detailed and adorable and the little extras in the room to make sure we had everything we would need. The outdoor space was also welcoming and fantastic, plenty of space to relax and enjoy the quiet. I could not recommend staying here more.

Great Stay in Old Mystic
This was our first visit and we were very impressed. Debbie was a great host and clearly enjoys creating a lovely setting for guests. The room was comfortable, clean and full of character. It felt like stepping back in time with antiques and a fun nautical theme. Our room on the end was quiet as advertised and the bed was comfortable. The room was also thoughtfully stocked with many amenities and a delicious treat upon our arrival. Highly recommend Debbie's place for a two person stay.
