This was a 10 out of 10 stay for us. The home was immaculate, stocked with everything you could need to feel at home. Very comfy beds and linens. Fantastic location and great hosts. Would definitely stay at this home again.
On the sixth anniversary of our daughter’s passing, we got together with another daughter, her husband, and their Australian shepherd dog for family time. It was chilly, but we enjoyed our time together. Mystic is a lovely spot, even in early March. Your home was a lovely oasis for us. Thank you!
My husband and I enjoyed staying at this adorable cottage close to downtown. James and Wendy couldn’t have made our stay more relaxing. We appreciated talking to them and giving us dinner recommendations.
I came from NY with my 8 yr old and 5 yr old and met up w my sister from RI and her 5 yr old. We had a nice overnight at the cottage, playing with the Legos and reading books, sharing a meal after a day exploring the aquarium and shops. We hope to come back at some point! Thanks for a great, charming spot!
House was cute and convenient to town. The bathrooms were clean except for moldy windows shade. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was great- so nice to have milk, coffee and bagels! Loved the out door area - in the back. We’d stay again!
We found this home to be the perfect touchdown for a weeklong dance competition we were visiting for. Very well stocked kitchen with a welcome basket! Beds were comfy, showers clean, large kitchen. We would stay again!

James was wonderful
Wonderful little property and close to all things Mystic! Comfortable and relaxing with room for all of us and plenty of space for us all to relax and my 1.5 year old granddaughter to play! Everything was clean and it had all we needed to cook meals. The highchair, travel crib,
Nicely updated historic home walking distance from everything! The house is halfway between the historic seaport and downtown making everything easily accessible. Park when you arrive and don't need to get in the car again!
We had a nice vacation. House was very clean, kitchen was well stocked and it was a short walk to town. Back yard was nice for relaxing in our down time. Owners were very nice to work with. We would definitely stay here again!
This unique cottage was in a perfect location for us to visit family in Mystic. Our hosts have done a great job restoring this old home while keeping its charm. Our family was very comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much. We hope to return.
My friends and I booked this spot for my bachelorette weekend and it was perfect! Very clean and the owners were easy to get in touch with. It was a short walk to downtown Mystic and had great views of the river. We could drive 5 min to mystic village as well! Awesome weekend!
Loved this spot in Mystic - great location, great house, and living in CT, before coming I didn’t realize how GREAT Mystic is. Well appointed house, easy to find good dog walking routes, and VERY close to EVERYTHING. Would definitely stay again, and hope to make this a yearly tradition.

Why they chose this property
John Denison House was once a corn shed on the Denison Farm, Mystic's earliest settlement. Later moved down the hill to its current location, John Denison House has been restored and renovated to allow 21st century amenities and comfort whilst still retaining its historic charm. Stay in a bit of history!
