Mystic Perfection

I will attempt to be direct and clear....if you have the ability to stay in this house, don't look anywhere else, stay here. It is just that simple. Everything about this property approached perfection. Here's a quick list: Location to town, super comfortable bedrooms, cute and cozy back deck and back garden with propane fire, excellent kitchen with all you need to cook just about anything, 2 connecting sitting/living/family rooms that provide more than enough space for a group to comfortably spend time together, the fact that it is totally pet friendly (our dog enjoyed it as well) and last, and most important, super accommodating and helpful caretakers/owners. They were absolutely wonderful and made our stay fantastic. This was sort of a fall family reunion for us with our 3 adult children and their friends and was absolutely perfect. I would stay here over any other place in the area without question. Thanks Kerri for a truly wonderful weekend.

A Great Family Time in Lovely Mystic

We really enjoyed staying in this charming home. It had plenty of rooms for gathering, a kitchen that worked for family cooking, a dining table that seated 8, and comfortable bedrooms. We enjoyed the decor as well as its functionality. We could walk to many shops and to the Mystic drawbridge, which the two grandsons particularly enjoyed, along with the nearby ice cream shop. I highly recommend staying here.

Wedding Weekend!

We stayed at the dollhouse in Mystic for our daughter’s wedding weekend. Easily one of my best VRBO experiences!! Perfect space for bridal party morning prep and brunch. Host Kerri was just as kind and accommodating as can be, and very easy to communicate with. Every single last minute thing we needed to grab was within a mile or so of the house. Highly recommend this property and the hosts as well!!

Beautiful weekend

We came up as I was participating in the American Model Yacht Association national championship for East Coast 12 M. The house was beautifully decorated and had air conditioning as New England can be quite warm in early August. With the rear yard with elevated deck and closed in fence was great with our small dog. House is located within walking distance most attractions and many favorable restaurants.10 Stars!

Mystic on My Mind!

We had a great stay. Lovely front porch and back deck. Plenty of conversation areas, a great dining room, air conditioning was great on our very warm days and the house was very well equipped. Also about a five minute walk to downtown Mystic! Will gladly return!

Mystic Long-Weekend

We spent a long weekend here and had a great time. The house had everything we needed and was very nicely decorated. The room with trundle bed was perfect for kids. Owners were friendly and accommodating. The best part was the location close to town. It was really nice being able to walk and not have to worry about parking. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to stay to enjoy all that Mystic has to offer. We will be back!

The Doll House

Beautiful Victorian house walking distance to downtown Mystic. We had a blast on our trip! Lots of bedrooms to sleep 7 adults and an infant comfortably. House had everything we needed. The deck in the back looks over the garden that was very well kept. We spent evenings out on the deck. Kerri was outstanding! Communication instantly. Left a bottle of champagne in the fridge on arrival. It was my mother in laws 60th birthday and Kerri went out of her way and provided high end chocolates for her.

The perfect stay

We absolutely loved the Dollhouse. My husband and I ‘eloped’ in Mystic with an intimate group and this was the perfect place to stay. The house was the perfect size for us and the location is right in walking distance of downtown. Kerri was an amazing host as well (the best I’ve experienced so far!).

Great place in Mystic

We loved the house. The location is perfect. We have stayed a few places in Mystic, and this is our favorite. The bedrooms are comfortable. There is a lot of room downstairs to hang out with the family. The kitchen was just right for a family meal. We are in the dining room and outside on the lovely deck. The place is even better than the pictures. Don’t hesitate! The host is lovely and helpful. A 5 star stay!!

Great Location & Inviting Home

This was our first time visiting Mystic & it won’t be our last! The Dollhouse was the perfect space for our family of five AND our beloved dog Fozzie! The house itself was so comfy & inviting! We loved all of the charm! We especially loved the fact that Fozzie was safe and comfy while we went out exploring! The house is close to the seaport and Olde Mistick Village! We also appreciated that there was a CVS right around the corner and an awesome gas station turned taco bar up right the block too! Kerri was an amazing host and gave us lots of wonderful recommendations. Can’t wait to return!

Simply fantastic!

Kerri’s home is a quiet oasis and perfectly located to both downtown Mystic and the Amtrak station. Her home is also charming and decorated just as the pictures described. She was so kind as a host and ready to make my stay perfect. Skip the other options in Mystic and stay at Kerri’s home - You won’t be disappointed. #BestStayEver

After a 30 year career in Human Resources, Labor Relations and Executive Management I have left the corporate world to consult and expand my coaching practice. I have lived in Mystic for 27 years and am excited to welcome guests to my home. I will be on property in a guest cottage with my sweet rescue dog Quincy.< I look forward to welcoming you!

Why they chose this property

Washington Street is a short walk to the center of Mystic, but on a quiet, tree lined street. After a full day of Mystic adventures return to The Dollhouse for relaxing quiet.

What makes this property unique

The Dollhouse is beautifully appointed with a coastal elegance feel designed to create warm family gathering spaces and peaceful quiet time. The back deck overlooks an enclosed garden sanctuary.
