About this property

Comfortable Living in Casual 100 yr old Home, 10 min walk to Stonington Village

This hundred year old home is a 15 minute stroll over a picturesque footbridge, into the heart of the Village. The house has been divided into two single bedroom units, one upstairs, the other downstairs.
I am currently renting the first floor apartment. It has its own entrance through the back door and can accommodate up to four people. The bedroom has a queen size bed and there is a sleeper sofa in the living room. (Please note: Bathroom access for bedroom is through the living room.) The bathroom has a tub with shower. Though there is no dishwasher or laundry service, there is a full kitchen, Smart TV, free WiFi, and access to a spacious yard equipped with table, chairs, and a charcoal grill for outside dining. Ceiling fans and a cross breeze provide comfortable ventilation for most of the season. For comfort on extreme heat days, a window air conditioner has recently been added. On street parking. Property owner lives on site in a cottage behind the house.
The Village hosts great restaurants and shops, Stonington Lighthouse Museum, Library, playground, La Grua Arts and Cultural Center, and CT’s only commercial fishing fleet. Extensive trails for nature walks nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Dorothy H Papp

Host profile image
Please call me Dorothy. I originally hale from outside of Akron, Ohio, and moved to Stonington in 1979 when my former husband and I opened and lived upstairs from Noah's Restaurant. In 1998, I sold my share in the restaurant and moved to Grandview Park, a whole mile away. In the early 70's, we spent four and a half years hitchhiking around Europe and across Africa as well as living in Worfelden, Germany while working for the American Military. VRBO is my way of paying forward the hospitality of strangers from around the world during that adventure.

Why they chose this property

I have become a fairly private person over the years, and I like the neighborhood because the people are friendly and considerate neighbors. A heads up for potential visitors: Most people do not have air conditioning and though I get a lot of feedback that it's a quiet place to stay, there can be outdooor gatherings with children and/or music in good weather. I don't recall being kept awake after 11 or even 10 and I've been here 26 years now.

What makes this property unique

The ambience of an early 20th century home, and a 'self-led' spacious yard.

My 'hermitude' has resulted in my being a bit photo shy. The picture featured here is with my daughter's family at her home in New Zealand. I have increasingly become a migrating bird, spending up to 3 months a year at home on the other side of the planet.
