The cottage is perfect!

I really enjoyed my stay at the cottage. It’s a separate little house w a fenced in outdoor area. The hosts were very responsive. It’s very clean and parking right out front. We would definitely stay there again.

Incredible place to stay

I absolutely loved this spot. I had such a great time and I actually miss it! I especially love the trails behind the inn. I had no idea that it was Pequot territory. It is really marvelous. Great to walk on. Not too hard, not too easy, tons of history, and a real sense of the sacred nature of Lantern Hill. I highly recommend.

Great stay!

We had a great stay at The Cottage - it was clean, cozy and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay near Mystic. Would love to stay here again in the future and maybe even stay in the main house next time with a larger group :) Overall I highly recommend this stay!

Why they chose this property

This boutique property will fill you with that "away-from-it-all" feeling with its 6+ acres of forested woodlands, manicured perennial gardens, and large open lawn. We're located on a scenic winding country road running north from Old Mystic past farms and fresh water ponds to our location in the forested valley of Lantern Hill. The ponds (Long Pond, Bush Pond, and Lantern Hill Pond) are popular for freshwater fishing, canoeing, and swimming. Lantern Hill is the highest point in the area. From the peak, you can see the Mystic River and Fishers Island Sound. From our property, you can access beautiful woodlands trails including the one to the top of Lantern Hill. By car, turning left out of our property takes you right into Mystic, Connecticut. It is a pleasant, short bicycle ride for cycling enthusiasts.

What makes this property unique

We are Connecticut Green Lodging certified and incorporate sustainability and a love for the natural world in everything we do. From gourmet breakfasts made of organic, locally-sourced ingredients to organic bath amenities in ecofriendly dispensers, to our onsite hiking.
