What a cute house! Within an easy drive of Mystic, and ready access to the interstate. House was comfortable, well appointed and excellently laid-out. Spacious yard gives plenty of room to walk your dog. The owners were easily available and ready to help with questions you may have. They also provide a lot of info on what's happening in the area. Truly a most pleasant place to stay. We really enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed our stay

The home was clean, well maintained and welcoming. Location suited us nicely, as we traveled to Martha’s Vineyard (via fast ferry) and to Essex, Ct. during our stay. Good food and downtown Mystic nearby. The host was very responsive and accommodating.
