Our hosts were awesome and we loved staying here. We walked to town. We walked to the Mystic Seaport Museum. We drove to the aquarium. We jogged along River Road to the north. Just a great location and so quiet. The Carriage House was all we could dream of and we had a wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful time at the Hemingway Carriage House. Private and set back off the road. We spent the day at the Mystic Seaport Museum and Mystik Village which had ice sculptures on display. We shopped in the various shops.We enjoyed a nice walk into town which is not far at all. We also visited the Mohegan Sun Casino and saw a Rat Pack tribute show,Awesome!! We would definitely like to come back in the future. It was the perfect weekend getaway. Caitlin and Chris were awesome hosts.

My husband and I stayed here for a couple of days on our way to Bar Harbor for the Mount Desert Island marathon. I highly recommend this cottage as it was clean and comfortable and exceeded our expectations. We could walk along the river to restaurants and shops. The hosts were very gracious and even provided us with snacks and sodas.
