Place was so clean we didn't use our own sheets we brought! Window AC's worked extremely well during some pretty hot days. House is very spacious. It is prime location, just far enough away from traffic/crowds in the heart of Mystic.

Overall, it was a good experience. The house was large enough to accommodate our party of 10 with ease, and everything was clean and tidy. James was very responsive to a few early concerns we had after checking in and quickly remediated them within an hour. There were just a few areas that kept this from being a true 5-star stay for us. While we appreciate the "old charm" of the property and its decor, much of the furniture just wasn't that comfortable (especially after a full day of walking around the aquarium or seaport museum.) We would also recommend stocking some more "kid-friendly" type dishware to keep on site as well as a pizza cutter for those that choose to make frozen pizzas rather than buy Mystic Pizza.

We had a great stay in Mystic. Good communication with James who provided helpful tips and check in info ahead of our stay. House was very well located at walking distance of downtown Mystic. Everything was super clean and the rooms very comfortable. We were a group of 6 and we had enough space. The fenced yard was great but not secure enough for my dog so I kept him on leash. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend this place if you are staying in Mystic.

The house was perfect for our families. It was historic, clean and well-maintained, and had games and books for the kids. We played cornhole and even found a stroller that saved the day at the Mystic Seaport Museum. Location is enjoyably close to downtown and other Mystic attractions. Thanks for a great trip!

A wonderful home, with plenty of room.

We really enjoyed our stay, it had everything we needed in a clean and spacious atmosphere. It’s a quick walk into town, and the fire pit was wonderful to enjoy. Thanks for hosting James!

Fit our needs very well

This home was very pleasant to stay in and in a good location. It fit our needs as a family of 5 adults very well. I would highlight the wonderful kitchen windows looking out on the yard, the good-size yard itself, and the solo stove fire pit with the solid chairs surrounding it.

Cozy, clean, classic family vacation

I can't say enough good things about this stay! We were very comfortable and had everything we needed for a week, even with babies and kids in our group! The area around the house was safe and very pleasant for meandering walks. We all enjoyed easy access to restaurants and events happening in historic Mystic. Thank you to the owners for their hospitality.

Plenty of beds, location was great, fire pit, parking. Kitchen lacks dishwasher (which made us wonder if the people before us washed dishes as well as we did). And although there were 2 living rooms, we had to move furniture around to accommodate our 8 person group. But we made it work. Enjoyed our trip to Mystic!

Everything was just perfect during our stay at this property in West Mystic. I had to book at the last minute to attend a funeral and James couldn't have been more accommodating. Very well appointed home with lots of room. We ended up extending our stay and James made that very easy. The area is quiet while being close to downtown Mystic. Rhode Island beaches aren't far. Go to Watch Hill after 4:00 and park for free! Highly recommend.

Family Vacation/Wedding

This home is perfect for a group visiting the area. A beautiful walk to downtown. The house itself is cozy with any amenity you may need. Spacious backyard for playing corn hole, which the owner provided, a fire pit and grill for cooking out. The owner also provided refreshments waiting in the refrigerator upon our arrival. The whole experience was wonderful!

Perfect!

Cousins yearly gathering! This year we chose Mystic. James was quick to respond to my questions and he was very accommodating. The home is charming, clean and the many twin beds was a plus! The round table sold me as it allows for great conversations, game playing, etc. The house is a quick walk (downhill) to downtown….all uphill on the way back! Loved our stay!

Great location!

The house was perfect for our annual mini college reunion. It was a nice walk to downtown Mystic. After our fabulous dinner at Mix, the uphill walk back to the house was a great way to burn some calories! The house was very clean and had ample room to chill out and catch up with friends. We would have liked to sit outside around the firepit, but it was pouring rain. Next time!

Beautiful area, walkable to dowtown

The house was exactly as described, had everything we needed, and even exceeded expectations in several ways. The owner was very responsive to inquiries. We had 9 adults in town for a graduation and the sleeping arangements were very accommodating. Downtown Mystic was a .5 mile walk (this did include a rather steep incline). We spent a lot of time in the yard while enjoying the outdoors and the firepit. We walked to town nightly. We highly recommend this location and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I met in Mystic and we love it! I purchased this house when I was in the Navy, and rented it out full-time for a number of years while we moved around the country. We were fortunate enough to eventually be able to use it as a weekend house. As our family grew and kids got older we decided to rent it as a vacation rental since we are unable to use it as much as we used to. We hope you enjoy the house as much as we have!
