Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I have been to Mystic many times before, but never have I stayed quite literally in the center of town. The location is absolutely perfect. All of our favorite shops and restaurants were so close. This was particularly convenient for traveling with our twin 1 year olds, as in the mornings we could stroll around and go back and forth to the house at any time. The house itself is indeed charming. The school decor is adorable, and all of the things you’d need (appliances, utensils etc) are available. We took full advantage of the outdoor space as the view of the river is incredible. Although Main Street is just steps away, you still feel a nice sense of privacy. Gerard was the icing on the cake. He was extremely responsive and caring making sure our family was comfortable and had what we needed. A great stay overall, we were extremely happy! ##### Cassandra C.

We had very high hopes, and they were even surpassed! From the moment the booking was made Gerard was extremely helpful and accommodating with clear and friendly communication. The house was perfect, with everything that you could possibly need. The property is right in town and everywhere that we went was within easy walking distance. We stayed for 3 nights in January, and used the bikes provided at the house for a gorgeous ride around the Mystic River. The house was extremely clean and everything was very well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots/pans/appliances allowing us to cook some meals at home. We walked into town for dinner at the Port of Call and had one of the best dinners we have ever had, and then scored some delicious coffee and pastries the next morning at Sift (also within walking distance). There is plenty to do in town and in the surrounding area even in the winter! Can't recommend this spot enough, we had such a lovely getaway! ##### Fiona Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick M. Jun 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A picturesque mini-moon My partner and I had an amazing post-wedding trip in Mystic. The property's location is it's biggest draw - right in the heart of the downtown area within easy walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and the water. No need to worry about street parking as you have your own parking area. Cottage is cozy and clean without onerous checkout instructions, though be mindful of the low ceilings around the upstairs bed. Property manager was kind and communicative throughout the stay as needed. We had an incredible stay and would be more than happy to spend some time at this site again. Thank you! Note: Listing states there is a hot tub, though none on premises. Property manager is aware and states it is a problem affecting multiple listings and he is attempting to fix the listing. Did not affect the quality of our stay in any way, but may be useful for future interested guests to be aware in case it is still listed. ##### Patrick M.
