Summary: We had a cousins weekend that included six adults and our young children. The house was incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed (including plenty of kid-friendly dishes, utensils, and gear). There was plenty of space for our party and the outdoor swing set and toy room were such a hit. We loved walking into Mystic to explore the shops and other attractions were easily accessible for us (including dining options and the aquarium). Liz was responsive, accommodating, and a pleasure to communicate with; we loved our stay!

Summary: I’ve stayed at a variety of rentals around the country and a few overseas, and this was one of my favorites! The house is almost 300 years old, but has all the amenities of a newer home, and is so interesting and charming. It’s situated on a gorgeous piece of land in a quiet neighborhood, while only being a 1/2 mile walk from downtown Mystic. I would definitely recommend.

Summary: We stayed with 4 families for my husband’s 40th birthday. We had 4 kids ages 5-2 and a baby. The house was perfect! The kids loved the kids room. The boys played in there all weekend. The backyard was beautiful and the playground was great. Perfect location for walking to downtown Mystic. The kitchen was equipped with everything for cooking, along with plate ware for kids. Thanks so much for the stay.

Summary: Really enjoyed our stay, Liz was very communicative. Note there are a lot of rules to follow, noise ordinances and whatnot so this might not be the best house for all groups, but was perfect for our needs! Walkable to town and plenty of space at the house to hang out as well.
