About this property

Charming 1845 Home in the Heart of Mystic – Walk to Everything!

Step into history without sacrificing comfort at our lovingly restored 2-bedroom home, ideally located in the heart of downtown Mystic. Just steps from the Mystic Museum of Art, Captain Daniel Packer Inn, and the iconic drawbridge, you'll be within easy walking distance of shops, waterfront dining, breweries, and everything else this seaside village has to offer.

Built in 1845, this Greek Revival home brims with character - think wavy glass windows, slanted floors, and steep old-world stairs - paired with thoughtful modern updates like fast Wi-Fi, HDTV, and efficient climate control. Guests frequently rave about our unbeatable location, cozy decor, and excellent communication.

Upstairs, you’ll find two comfy queen bedrooms, a newly renovated bathroom, and a reading nook with river views. Downstairs, enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, eclectic living and dining areas, and a vintage vibe that feels like a step back in time - with all the conveniences of today.

Sip coffee on the front porch while watching boats glide by on the Mystic River, or grill dinner out back beneath the historic St. Jago Ledge. Families appreciate our books, puzzles, toys, and baby gear (high chair + Pack 'n Play), while couples love the romantic charm and walkable neighborhood.

Additional perks include:
- Sofa bed for extra guests
- Private parking for two cars or one with a boat trailer
- Public boat launch just a minute’s stroll away
- Mystic Marina dockage across the street

Come stay where comfort meets history and everything Mystic has to offer is just outside your door.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The host provides excellent communication, all the amenities one could need, and the perfect location! My family thoroughly enjoyed their stay, and admired the beautiful antique items. Even in the cold Mystic winter, the heaters in each zone made for a very comfortable holiday!Note for anyone with mobility issues, it's an old house, and the staircase has narrow steps. But it did not detract from our stay! Highly recommend for a perfect Mystic experience : )

Very cute stay in a historic house. Great location for downtown and great to have a parking spot. LOVED the porch. Location is louder as the walls are thin. Would stay here again!

This was a beautiful property with a ton of charm and fun details throughout! It's also in a great location - very easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. My kid and I even spontaneously walked the 6 minutes to the drawbridge to see it go up at 40 minutes past the hour. I was also impressed by how well the AC worked in all the different parts of the house and found it easy to use. Thanks for a great stay!

Its an older place so there are a lot of creaks and squeaks. The only bathroom is on the second floor. We didnt even bother bringing our luggage up the stairs as it was just too heavy and too cumbersome. Love the mini splits but I dont know if there is a way to turn off the display as it lights up the room while sleeping. Great location and walkable to everything.
