About this property

Private Carriage House, Historic Downtown Mystic

Relax and enjoy the charms of downtown Mystic. Located on the historic property of Captain William Morgan, an 18th century sea captain, this private Carriage House is situated just a 1/4 block from downtown.. in the heart of Mystic, but also peaceful & secluded. A very 'Norman Rockwell-like' setting!
There are two suites for rent. These are side by side but not connected. Both back up to the private terrace behind with beautiful gardens. The larger suite sleeps three with a king bed and smaller full size futon. The smaller with a king bed sleeps two.

Fabulous Visit to Mystic!
This property is adorable and so close to the downtown area of Mystic! We loved how the cottage was decorated and truly enjoyed our visit. We had everything we needed for long weekend stay. Check in and check out process was super easy and we loved that our sweet dog Frankie was welcome. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!

Relaxing Retreat
The Carriage House at 26 Pearl is a charming “home away from home!” Located in the heart of downtown Mystic, steps away from local shops and eateries. Parking on site is ideal since street parking is difficult at times on Main Street and surrounding side streets. The space was clean, comfortable, and provided cozy vibes, both inside the unit and outdoors on the private patio in the English garden. The host, Sue, was very welcoming and helpful upon arrival and throughout our stay. Herman, the resident Golden, was a cheerful assistant “checking in” with us most days! He was very calm when around our small Italian Greyhound in the yard. Would book again at the property if ever in the Mystic area in the future.

Beautiful Property With Great Location
Our weekend stay here was very pleasant. Accommodations were great and couldn't beat the location. Easy walk to Main St and otherwise quiet where we were. Thankful for the off street parking spot because otherwise parking would have been a challenge at times.

Cozy and quaint cottage stay
Susan was exceptional in her hospitality. We enjoyed Herman's presence and his welcome as well as Susan's acceptance of my small senior doxie dog in the cottages. The courtyard adds to the ambiance of a small getaway and was perfect to relax after touring the town. We're grateful for the visit and time Susan took with us!

Love Mystic ❤️
Always have a wonderful experience staying at any one of Susan’s properties! We’ve been coming to Mystic for over 19 years and we call Mystic our happy place and our home away from home. Susan does a great job making us feel welcome and taking care of all of our needs. Her homes are always clean and well stocked. It’s been a pleasure getting to know her over the years. I’m hoping to visit again soon!! 💕

Good Luck finding a better location or accommodation
We loved it here, literally park your car and you don’t have to worry about driving whatsoever access to everything. The house is fantastic. The property is gorgeous I can’t say enough about it. Why would you ever stay at a hotel? The host was awesome!

Wonderful getaway to relax and unwind
This was the perfect location for my week long getaway to relax and see old friends. Onsite parking was wonderful and made it easy to come and go without stressing about parking..though most times we just walked since we were quite literally in the heart of downtown Mystic. Perfect! Being so close to the main st it was surprisingly very quiet at night, even with it being the week of July 4th. Ambassador Herman was one of the highlights of my mornings and evenings as he greeted me each time by running thru the bushes with his tail wagging...and I have to admit, I miss the little (big) fella. If there is anything that I would say could use some improvement is the cleaning (dusting) as there were quite a few cobwebs (and spiders to go along with them). I will definitely be coming back to this quaint and cozy little rental.

Perfect!!
The carrage house was clean and smelled great. Its decorated so cutely! I want to live there when I retire! The size is perfect for two people. The location is close to all the fun shops and restaurants in the center of town. Yet it's far enough away to be quiet with a locals neighborhood feel. Sue was the perfect host and allowed our pup to play with hers till they were both ready for bed. Everything we needed for a comfortable 2 night stay was provided. Thank you Sue!

Cute and comfortable
My husband and I came for a weekend getaway and this little cottage was just the ticket. We found it to be beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The bed was very comfortable as was the seating. We especially loved the peace, privacy and quiet while being within walking distance of Main St. We would definitely book again!

Great location and lovely cozy cottage! We were pleasantly surprised to find the toaster oven and kettle! Such a cute little place. We went in winter so didn’t use the patio but the neighborhood was darling and so convenient. Sue was very responsive throughout.
