Private and cozy, newly renovated 1900's home with two bedrooms with a queen size bed in each and 1.5 baths. Step out your front door to swim, sunbathe or kayak on a beautiful stretch of the Niantic river with private dock and mooring. After a full day, enjoy a quiet dinner at the patio table or glass of wine on the front porch while watching the stars come out over the water. Fully renovated kitchen, large screen TV, Board games, puzzles + Adult/Kids books. There is a desk set up in one of the bedrooms if you need to work remotely while away. A Queen size pull out couch with mattress topper is in the living room. A pack n play and highchair are available if you are traveling with small children.

The house is located in a quiet family community, where a quick walk through the neighborhood takes you to a community swimming beach, tennis courts, a playground, and a 6 hole pitch and putt golf course.

My wife and I are just finishing up our stay at Lynn & Daves home. They are excellent hosts. Lynn helped us with anything we needed immediately.This is a top spot for enjoying the water and there are numerous eateries with great food(5 to 10 minutes away).We reccomend La Llorona where we were served awesome, authentic Mexican food! The house is immaculate and filled with everything you need from clean, fresh linens, to all the kitchenware required for cooking. All the appliances are newer and in great working order.Our grandson and daughter stayed for a day with us and he never left the water area! There is a park nearby for children and a beach, however we were fine right on the property! Direct waterfront with amazing sunrises!In closing this is a rental not to miss! The home offers everything for a most excellent stay! Thank you Lynn & Dave

Best little getaway

My family stayed here for a few days in June 2024 and had the perfect mini vacation. The house is very clean, had all the amenities and in the perfect location. My children loved all the nearby beaches. The local restaurants were great. Lynne and Dave can be easily reached if you need anything. Everyone in the neighborhood is so friendly. I wish we could have stayed longer. I hope to go back next summer. Thank you Lynne and Dave!

Beautiful winter stay with river views

Lynn is a wonderful host. She greeted us when we arrived and had decorated the guest house very nicely for Christmas. The house was very clean and inviting and was well winterized. It was supplied with everything we needed for our stay including a large washer/dryer. The neighborhood was very quiet and the views of the river were beautiful. We would be very happy to stay there again.

Fantastic Stay

Our family of 4 had a wonderful visit at this property. We were moving our daughter into college and this home provided a nice respite after our long days. We enjoyed our morning coffee looking at the beautiful estuary and even went for a swim. The bedrooms and main floor are air conditioned, which was really nice in the summer. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Lynn was a terrific hostesses - easy to communicate with and very helpful. We hope to return soon!

Perfect Niantic Getaway!

Lynn’s Guest House is the perfect getaway in the Niantic area! The location couldn’t get any better with being right on the river and within 10 minutes of lots of restaurants, activities, and downtown shops. It’s also a short drive to the Waterford area and Mystic! The house was super clean and had so many thoughtful touches throughout to provide you with extra necessities such as laundry supplies, games, books, beach towels, and more. Lynn was so friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to do so again soon!

Waterfront Niantic Trip

We loved our stay. It's a charming neighborhood and felt very safe. I particularly liked the fact that the house has been recently renovated and updated, but retained its historic charm. It was the perfect size for our family and the downstairs has an open feeling and my husband enjoyed sitting on the porch and overlooking the water. The owner was quite responsive, friendly, and welcoming. The neighborhood is perfect for walking and is quiet. We will be back!
