About this property

Comfortable Living in Casual 100 yr old Home, 10 min walk to Stonington Village

This hundred year old home is a 15 minute stroll over a picturesque footbridge, into the heart of the Village. The house has been divided into two single bedroom units, one upstairs, the other downstairs.
I am currently renting the first floor apartment. It has its own entrance through the back door and can accommodate up to four people. The bedroom has a queen size bed and there is a sleeper sofa in the living room. (Please note: Bathroom access for bedroom is through the living room.) The bathroom has a tub with shower. Though there is no dishwasher or laundry service, there is a full kitchen, TV, free WiFi, and access to a spacious yard equipped with table and chairs for outside dining. Window fans and a cross breeze provide ventilation. On street parking. Property owner lives on site in a cottage at the rear of the property.
The Village hosts great restaurants and shops, Stonington Lighthouse Museum, Library, playground, La Grua Arts and Cultural Center, and CT’s only commercial fishing fleet. Extensive trails for nature walks nearby.
Be sure to visit the Stonington Village Farmer’s Market: Every Sat., 9:00 a.m.-noon from May through the end of Oct. On Nov. 1st the Farmer’s Market moves indoors to the Velvet Mill, 22 Bayview Ave., 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. The Velvet Mill is a 10 minute walk and in addition to housing the winter farmer’s market, is a creative community of entrepreneurs & small business, Arts & Crafts, Health & Healing services, artisan bakery, micro brewery, and weekend crafts and vintage market.
In Mystic, you will find the Mystic Seaport, the Mystic Aquarium, a YMCA, and plenty of shops and restaurants. Golf courses are 15 minutes away. Rhode Island beaches are just 15-20 minutes away (12 miles). Foxwoods Casino and Factory Store Mall and Mohegan Sun Casino and Performance Center are also approximately 15-20 minutes away.

Perfect location!

My husband and I had the best time for a long weekend at Dorothy's property. The very specific charm to the area was very apparent in this cottage! Even the bathroom was just adorable with the floral tile! It was very clean and the perfect size for us (could easily accommodate more than 2 with the pull out sofa). Minutes away from Stonington and Mystic, there is so much to do. We will definitely be back! I already miss hearing all the birds while sitting on the back porch swing.

Last day of honeymoon

When we arrived, the VRBO app stopped working and I could not review the check-in/check-out procedure, so I'm not sure if the instructions were there or not, but I could not figure out how to get into the house. There are several door options. Dorothy was out of town for the weekend and provided a secondary contact. I called the contact 4x and left voicemails, but no response. Then, we found the lockbox and were able to access the house. The contact finally did call me back. Once inside, the home was cute. There were several crawlies inside, mostly spiders. That didn't bother us, though. We just relocated them. We played a game and went to bed. The overall stay was nice once we figured it all out.

Nice Flat in Great Area

We vacation in RI every summer and have rented places in a number of towns, including Stonington, CT. This area is our favorite as it's close enough to the beaches yet has more to do and see than staying closer to our favorite beach (Blue Shutters). The proximity to Mystic, historic Stonington, Westerly, Charlestown, Narragansett, and Newport made it a great option, and the flat itself was quite enjoyable. Dorothy was very kind and always available if needed, and having things like bedding and bath towels provided was very helpful. This unit is great for a couple or perhaps a child or two, but the sofa bed didn't seem like a viable option for adults so it would be better suited for the kiddos. We enjoyed the various vintage/antique items as well as having a smart tv for before bed. The hot water supply made it through three showers in a row so that was a huge bonus. The bathroom itself was only a couple small tweaks away from being great, but overall served our needs well. We enjoyed our stay in Dorothy's place.

Cute Getaway, No AC

Cute apartment in old house. If staying in the summer months, beware there is no AC. Yes, there is a cross breeze and ceiling fans however, if there is high humidity and raining, it can be quite warm and uncomfortable. As far as cleanliness, everything was clean for the most part. Overall, not a bad place to stay for the price.

Inexpensive and Very Cute!

My partner and I stayed here during a historic heat wave that no one, including our host, could have anticipated would hit CT as hard as it did. That being said, I definitely didn't read the description well enough and assumed there would be AC or some kind of cooling machine present. There isn't and it made it a bit difficult to be comfortable, especially at night. The windows and ceiling fans helped a lot but it was too loud in the morning to keep them open, unfortunately. Also, the wifi was barely strong enough to load anything, which presented some issues in getting directions and providing entertainment. That being said, those issues did not detract from our enjoyment! We made good use of the board games that were provided and stayed out in the neighboring towns most of the days anyway. I think walking to downtown Stonington would have been too difficult in the heat, but we did manage to walk to the nearby shopping arcade and loved the restaurant we ate at. It was overall a very cute trip for a great price.

Quaint Stonington House

We were booked in for a one night stay and found everything as described. The house was clean and tidy, Dorothy our host, had opened screened windows and turned on ceiling fans ahead of our arrival. Thank You Dorothy! That made a lovely difference on a hot day! The bedding was delightful, crisp and fresh and the bed comfortable. Would stay again if ever in the area.

Stonington Haven

A visit with local family and friends. The house was a haven for us to stay. The property is as described and pictured. Dorothy, the owner was pleasant and within a text message away. She respected our privacy but was available to assist if needed. Parking was very convenient and well lit at night. Motion activated lights on the walkway and porch were very helpful for evening returns to the home. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the area.
