Enjoy a peaceful stay in the historic "1860 House" in quaint Stonington Borough. Private access to your apt. will give you entrée to a large garden patio with both filtered and full sun, where you can relax, dine, and enjoy the sea breezes and salt air. Walk down the street and head out in the bay in your kayak or make your way in the other direction to enjoy the charms of village life. A perfect place to unwind in any season, with amenities that will help you settle in and feel at home.
Other things to note
Settled in the mid-17th century, Stonington’s rich history can be evidenced everywhere, including, for example, in its quaint residential streets, old town dock, Cannon Square, the nation’s first lighthouse museum—and precious homes such as ours, built in 1860.
Throughout the Borough (as residents call the area), natural beauty abounds. Down the street from the house is an intimate beach where you can enjoy spectacular sunrises and launch your canoe, kayak, or paddle board. Walk 5 minutes in the other direction and you'll come to the larger duBois beach and the tip of the Stonington peninsula, with panoramic views of Fisher's Island Sound. There's also a salt-marsh meadow with a walking trail and a lovely view of Little Narragansett Bay.
Also just minutes away by foot are adorable shops and eateries—the blueberry pancakes at Noah's are the best we've ever tasted—and a short drive away are a farm stand, lobster shacks and roadside ice-cream shops (open seasonally), and the towns of Mystic and Watch Hill.
