My husband and I stayed with long time friends as we were in town for a reunion. We knew gathering with friends was going to be fun, but the moment we walked into the house it felt special. Comfortable and welcoming, with a touch of whimsy, immediately we felt like we had gotten away from the busy-ness of everyday life. The kitchen was easy to work in. It was an quick walk into town to see what has changed, and see old favorites still in business. But best of all, the gathering spaces made it so easy to simply enjoy hanging out and and enjoying the views.

Quiet sunny views overlooking old Mystic

The house was perfect for our weekend. The seating area at the back really caught the morning light. We loved the view of Mystic and the river. It was too warm to light the fire pit but the backyard picnic table was great for a late lunch.We found the house comfortable and it was a great location for walking down to Mystic. Try Sift its just a short walk from the house.

In the area for a family wedding and the house was in the perfect location! We walked into Mystic each morning for coffee at Sift and enjoyed sitting around the fire pit with our adult children and the grandparents staying nearby. Our kids said it was such a good weekend and loved the house - high praise!
