About this property

Unbeatable Downtown Mystic Location

Our home is in the heart of Historic Mystic located half way between the Mystic Museum of Art and Captain Daniel Packer Inn and is within easy walking distance to all Downtown Mystic restaurants, shops, and attractions.

This Water Street property is an historic 2-bedroom home constructed in 1845 in the Greek Revival style and offers both 19th century charm and 21st century convenience. It is fully furnished and decorated with an eclectic collection of Americana, period pieces, folk art, curiosities, and other items of local interest. The doors are a bit crooked, the floors slant and the glass in most of the windows is wavy. Keep in mind the home was built prior to modern building codes so the stairs are a bit steeper than modern homes and may be a challenge for guests with a mobility condition. But you will also find Wi-Fi with high-speed internet access, HDTV and state of the art heating and A/C.

On the main floor, you will enjoy a fully appointed galley kitchen equipped with a range/oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and microwave oven. You will also find a coffee maker, toaster, pots, pans, dishes as well as all essential cooking/eating utensils. There is generous seating in both the dining and living room areas together with remotely controlled lighting and ceiling fans. Sorry, no washer or dryer.

The two bedrooms and the fully renovated bathroom are located on the second floor where you will also find a cozy reading nook with its own great view of the Mystic River. Both bedrooms have queen size beds, a comfortable sitting area, dresser drawers with full size mirrors and plenty of closet space. Recommended occupancy is for parties of four but additional sleeping accommodations can be found in the living room on the queen size convertible sofa bed for larger parties. The single bathroom offers a full-size tub/shower combination and custom vanity/sink. Bedding, linens, and bath towels are provided for the number of guests listed in your reservation.

Our guests with youngsters you will find a highchair in the kitchen, a Pack and Play crib, a crate of juvenile toys in the reading nook, plenty of puzzles, lots of board games and plenty of books, books, and more books. There are playing cards and plenty of great books for adults as well – lots of books.

The elevated front veranda seating area offers an awesome view of the Mystic River and is a great place for people watching. There is a large rear deck with table, chairs, and gas grill right at the foot of historic St. Jago Ledge if you prefer a more intimate setting.

We provide on-site parking for two vehicles or a single vehicle with a modest boat trailer. There is a public boat launch less than a minute’s walk from the front door and transient dockage at Downtown Mystic Marina directly across the street.

College Tours & Aquarium

Super easy to park and get into the place with instructions sent in plenty of time. Kitchen had all of the things we needed. This is an old home -- the stairs are steep and the floors are all wonky. But it has lots of character and is comfortable! The house is right on the road so you can hear traffic, but at night it was quiet. Heating system was easy to figure out. Hot water was abundant and water pressure is excellent. Host responded immediately to my questions. The St Patrick's parade was there which was a surprise and made for a lively experience. Loved walking into town and having a dedicated parking spot.

Incredible location for families!

A very, very short walk to historic downtown Mystic, and just down the street from delicious restaurants and cafes! We loved not having to worry about parking and being able to go back and forth between the house and downtown. The house had everything our family needed, and was very comfortable. The floors are very sloped, but that didn’t impact our experience. Lots of stuff for very young kids and Michael and Kevin were wonderful hosts!

Last Minute Getaway

We had a great time at this Mystic house. We lucked out, snagging a last minute few days, at a very affordable rate for the area! The house was great - definitely on the older and quirky end. They weren't lying about the slanted floors...but it gives the house good character! It was a great size for our family of 5, with enough space to spread out if needed. The kitchen was small, but well stocked. The location was in perfect walking distance to downtown, to check out all the stores and restaurants. The driveway was a bit tough, depending on the traffic, so highly suggest backing into it if you can. Great weekend - highly recommend this place!

Perfect location and comfortable lodging

Second time for us, staying at this home. Each time we have enjoyed it more. Very clean and comfortable. The location is great, easy to get around. The house itself makes you feel welcomed. The owner is extremely personable and very quick to answer any questions or concerns. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a relaxing get away.

Wonderful Weekend with Friends

The house is a very sweet old fashioned cottage but has all the important updates. The living/dining room is large and comfortable so it is great for spending time with friends and family. The host was friendly and the logistics were straight forward. Fantastic location. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Beautiful historic home

We loved our stay at this beautiful historic house in Mystic, located within close walking distance to the main street and river. Beds were comfortable and furnishings simple, historic, and tasteful. Be aware if you have mobility issues that, being a 150+ year old house, the floors are quite undulating! Thanks for a lovely experience.

Mystic Magic

Because i have lived in Mystic, i knew exactly where this property was and it checked all my boxes. The location is so close to all things downtown Mystic has to offer. You can park your car and walk everywhere. Parking in Mystic has always been a problem, however now there is a huge parking lot at the end of Cottrel Street.

Location, location, location

This home is in downtown Mystic. There is a view of the harbor. The location is ideal if you want to be downtown. The house is clean, comfortable and an antique. Communication with the owner was excellent. My only caveat would be if you have mobility issues know that the floors are slanted and the stairway is steep. It truly is an antique with antique decor throughout the home. The bedrooms are upstairs. We had a wonderful stay in Mystic.

Loved our stay in Mystic

Very convenient to everything. This house reflects the true essence of Mystic with it's history and nautical influences. We had everything we needed for our stay. Just a few steps away from Main Street, it was far enough from the traffic and hustle & bustle. We will definitely return to this house for future visits to Mystic!

Down the street...

This property truly is a stroll's distance from downtown. Mystic Pizza just a short walk away. (You really should eat there at least once.) The house is right off the street but is very quiet in the evening, so no problem. The description is accurate so remember the stairs are steep. The landing at the top is a pleasant spot to read in. Beds comfy with a selection of pillows. Kitchen had all the basics needed.

Great historic home in a fabulous location!

We loved this quirky historic home decorated with lots of interesting items yet all the “modern” amenities in the very comfortable living room and bedroom spaces. The location is fabulous- walking distance to the entire downtown area and across the street from two of the best restaurants in Mystic! The owner Michael is great, very proactive with check in and check out information and very responsive to any messages. We would come back in a heartbeat!
