Summary: First, what a great location to everything. But most importantly what a great house! Came here for my bestie's 40th and she absolutely loves old houses. The house alone made her birthday. Then the host is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for letting us stay, Gerard! We will definitely book this house any time we come to Mystic.
