We could not have asked for more accommodating hosts, perfect Thanksgiving venue, or home away from home vibe. This family gathering has been on our wish list for some time, and because of Sandra and Jim's flexibility, good nature and overall warm presence, we were able to pull it off. And best 4 night's sleep in years!!

The house has a lot of historic charm and the owners were very friendly and helpful. It is within 30 minutes of a lot of activities, so the location was great. We loved the large country kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. Overall it was a fun stay. It would have been nice to have a tv downstairs to watch some football on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but we managed with an iPad, so not a huge issue.

Historic home

The home itself was an attraction. You can spend hours walking around, looking at the books, antique furniture, and just staring out the amazing farmhouse kitchen in the field with the horses. We spent five days in this home and it felt so comfortable. The proprietors are very kind and helpful with anything you need and I am truly looking forward to going back and staying again.

Charming house, great location

We booked the house for a family trip to celebrate my mom's 65th birthday, looking for enough space for 6 adults and our dogs, in close proximity to Mystic. The house was in a great location, with most of everything we wanted to visit about a 10 minute drive away. The house itself has a ton of charm and history to it. There was more than enough space for all of us and we enjoyed (and appreciated!) using the fireplace as this winter has been especially cold so far.

Wonderful Colonial House!

We had an excellent stay at the Edward Denison house! This is a fantastic authentic colonial experience. There are great spaces around every corner and very comfortable and spacious bedrooms. Sandra and Jim are great hosts and very repsonsive! We very much enjoyed everything about our stay and loved meeting the horses on the grounds as well!

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Wright

Host profile image
Jim is a retired college professor (theatre and communication) with a passion for pipe organs, model trains and antique engines. Sandra is a registered nurse, working full-time in Assisted Living. We have two dogs, Jackie a rescue from Louisville, KY and Jeremy a rescue from Afghanistan. Also sharing our lives with 3 indoor cats, 2 parrots, 2 horses, a Shetland pony and a mini donkey.

Why they chose this property

One look in August of 2001 and we fell in love! The location is perfect: quiet and rural, lots of trees. Yet we're only 5 minutes from Mystic and Stonington Borough, 10 minutes from Westerly, RI and 20 minutes from Watch Hill and Misquamicut.

What makes this property unique

Owners are nearby for assistance when needed as we live in the property's guest house, known as "the barn".

Where else can you sit on your back patio, or look out your kitchen window, and watch horses grazing?
