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.

About the host

Hosted by Tyler Hespeler

Host profile image
My wife, Hope and I were born and raised in this area. We have a few vacation homes and we enjoy being able to share our homes with others. I am a full time real estate agent and Hope works in one of the shops in the Mystic Village. We are local and happy to assist with any tips or recommendations for things to do!

Why they chose this property

This home has been beautifully re-designed and is a great place to vacation, but also has a dedicated office area if you are looking to get some work done. The location puts you a few short minutes away from the historic Olde Mistick Village.
My favorite part about this home is it's convenience to the Mystic River. It is a few hundred feet away from the start of scenic River Road, which is just perfect for any avid runner or biker to enjoy great views. The road starts at the tip of the river and ends in Downtown Mystic!

What makes this property unique

We are close enough to all of the benefits of the area, but far enough away where you can have time to yourselves and relax!
