About the host
Hosted by Tyler Hespeler
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!
