It felt like we stayed at a friends mansion. As a world traveler, I must say, this is one of the best places weve ever stayed at. Host provides everything needed, and place was spotless when we arrived. Cant wait to return!
The house is absolutely stunning & I love the color-drenched rooms. The town of Norwich itself was less than impressive, but we were staying just to visit Mystic nearby. I would definitely stay here again.
This property was ideal for our getaway. We were celebrating my grandson' 21st Halloween birthday . We had a blast. Thank you. The cat was an extra added surprise and he seemed to love all the attention he got. We will be back.
