About this property

New England Hospitality at the Carriage House Mystic Vacation Rentals LLC

About this place
Come stay in the Whaler's Room at the Carriage House, located in the peaceful hamlet of Old Mystic, a short 2-mi drive to DT! In the Whaler's Welcome, with a private bath and entrance and a bay window overlooking the garden, you'll sleep soundly on a comfy queen pencil bed and double-size antique spindle bed, both dressed in lovely linens, wake up rested to a beautiful mural and cozy up to a gas fireplace on cold nights!

Treat yourselves and be our guests! You be delighted you did!

The space
We promise you will feel cared for the moment you walk through the door- from the warm welcome to a specially prepared bed- made just for you!

The Whaler's Welcome has two charming beds: a pencil-post queen and an antique spindle double/full bed. These are ideal for friends or family traveling together!

The gas fireplace fills the room with warmth- beckoning you to curl up on the chairs and read or share a glass of wine on those cold winter nights.

After time out and about (or a day spent to yourself inside:), treat yourself to a whirlpool bath (single-person tub) because you deserve it!

During your stay, you will have a mini fridge for your perishables and a Keurig for your morning cuppa.

Enjoy the bustle of downtown, but come back to the peaceful, quiet Old Mystic- a charming New England Hideaway- a true "Whaler's Welcome!" So what are you waiting for? :-D

Location was convenient to everything. Beautiful property. Would have liked to sit by the fire pit but just didn’t have time. Maybe next time. Will stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie and Paul Bied

Host profile image
A once devoted full-time mother, I’ve now embarked on a fresh voyage – opening the doors of our storied properties to kindred spirits from near and distant shores.

Our shared passion is uncovering historic gems, whether preserving the essence of our own vacation homes or seeking solace in other historic havens during our travels.

Our hearts are firmly anchored in the past, and we enjoy bringing guests along with us when they stay at one of our Mystic homes.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I have always loved this property, which was once the Old Mystic Inn. Owning this beautiful it has been a dream come true! Some may wonder why we bought another home in our hometown. I guess it's a testament to how much we love the area!

Nestled in the heart of Old Mystic, the original settlement, our location is steeped in the quaintness and rich history that only this part of Mystic can offer. It's our cherished escape from the everyday hustle, providing a tranquil haven that whispers stories of the past.

Perfectly positioned, it allows effortless exploration of local attractions and offers a serene retreat from the lively buzz of downtown Mystic.

We fell in love with this neighborhood for its timeless charm and the sense of community that invites you to slow down and savor the moments. Our guests find it to be a perfect backdrop for making lasting memories, where the peaceful surroundings and scenic beauty enhance every experience.

Whether you're returning from a day of adventure or seeking a quiet corner to unwind and relax in your private guest room for the day, we believe you'll be quite happy~ even just hanging out reading, relaxing, or watching a movie. Old Mystic is a place where every moment becomes a treasure :-)

What makes this property unique

Step into the enchanting heart of New England hospitality, where each room holds tales anchored in the 1800s. Journey through stories of ship smiths, coopers, whispering woodcarvers, meticulous riggers, and the daring adventures of sailors and whalers.

Our Mystic private guest rooms artfully bridge time, weaving historical tales into present-day experiences so you can treat yourself to some old-fashioned hospitality reminiscent of a homemade apple pie’s comforting warmth and sweetness.

When my husband and I first walked into the Carriage House and saw the adorable private guest rooms, we felt instantly taken by its charm and character, and we think you will, too!

Time away is a rare gem, and our mission is to ensure your Mystic vacation is as perfect as it can be. Think nostalgic charm combined with modern amenities for 21st-century comfort and a splash of pure, homegrown hospitality to make your stay the most relaxing it can be.
