Perfect Get Away

Caitlin and Chris’ place is cozy, tranquil and situated in beautiful area. You can easily walk into town or drive to other great locations such as Stonnington, Westerly and Newport. This was our third or fourth time staying with them and have never been disappointed. It is so nice to stay during the off season. We look forward to staying here in the spring. I highly recommend this place.

Had a terrific stay here May 2023! The property and entire area are beautiful. The cottage was really enjoyable, and the host thought of everything to make our stay just perfect.

Perfect Place to Get Away

The sweetest little cottage tucked away from the busy shops! Hubby and I had a weekend of events to attend including a wedding and even though the space is studio style, we had enough room to spread out and get ready without tripping over each other. It's quiet and cozy, the perfect place to recharge!

Great location

My husband and I stayed at the Hemingway House for a weekend getaway. The place is immaculately clean and well equipped. The bed could be more comfortable, but it did the job. The hosts were very friendly and respectful of our privacy. The location was perfect. Just a short, lovely walk to downtown Mystic.

Our Stay at Hemingway

We had a lovely 2 day stay at The Hemingway Cottage. It was wonderful..... so quaint and classy at the same time. Caitlyn and Chris were so accommodating and went out of their way with anything that we needed. Just wish we could have stayed longer! We would love to visit again in the future and would highly recommend.
