Excellent stay and wonderful vibes

This was an amazing place to stay and Gwen was very responsive both before and during our stay. The tips and recommendations that were given were extremely helpful. We very much enjoyed the eclectic decor and the “home on vacation” feel. We would absolutely stay here again.

The property was very clean, had all the essential amenities we needed for a three day trip, and my four year old was obsessed with the decor. The neighborhood was quiet and had sidewalks for us to take nice evening strolls. We were within walking or driving distance to everywhere we wanted to do, no more than 10 minutes from everything we needed. We had a great stay and would definitely come back in the future!

A gem

We had a great stay. The fire pit was awesome. We had a little problem with outlets in the kitchen, but Sarah upstairs helped us to get them working. Gwen was available by text through the whole process. Would definitely stay there again. Comfortable, quiet and funky.

Anniversary night in mystic

Overall this property was very cute and cozy! It was accurately described in the listing. Minor issue with the garage door entrance but it was addressed quickly and didn’t affect our stay. Tenant upstairs was helpful and polite and we still had our privacy. I would stay here again :)

Gwen went above and beyond for a last minute booking. Property was great for my wife and 7 year old daughter. Great communication. Highly recommend for a trip to mystic. Fire pit in the back yard was a great bonus for s’mores with my daughter.

Great spot for a quick stay on our journey

We stayed here for two nights on our road trip from Florida to Maine. It was a very nice and convenient location. We were able to spend our day at the aquarium and around Mystic, which is all very close to the apartment. Gwen was great and was there to let us in when we arrived (she was staying upstairs). She would check in to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did, the place was well stocked). Thanks for making our last stop a great one!

I really loved the decor. Many different colors of the walls.The pastels of the aplipiances. Pictures and art tucked all over the place. The multicolored silverware. The british phone box shower with the squeegee. The painted doorknobs. Chloe enjoyed all the different heights and corners. She also was more lovey dovey. She adapted this place pretty quickly and felt more at home. All the records. Every way I turned I found something else. Like the old time picnic basket with everything included. I absolutely loved this place. I felt very comfortable. Gwen was awesome. She let me stay an extra day. She responded quickly and let me know what was going on. I definitely want to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Gwen Campbell

Host profile image
This house was my childhood home. We are a military family who moved to CT from Hawaii in 1990. Upon my dad's retirement, we bought this house and have been there ever since. I spent my young adult life in the New England area, however moved to settle in Key West Florida in 2009. My parents both lived in this house until their passing (2013 and 2022), and I do not want to sell this beautiful property. I am not often spending much time in CT currently however one day I'm sure I will come back to spend many months (at least the summer/fall ones) here. I would love to give you any tips on your time in my hometown!

Why they chose this property

You will find Mystic is a peaceful and beautiful place. The neighborhood is very safe and walkable. It is only a mile to downtown if you don't want to drive!

What makes this property unique

I have tried to bring a little of my southern home to my northern one. I believe bright colors make people happy and I hope you enjoy it as well! The art throughout the house is from my family-- many from growing up in Hawaii and some from my mom's art collection or her paintings she did herself as an artist in the 1980's. I also try to add little new pieces to the house as I travel around the world and visit new spaces. I hope you enjoy the art as much as I do! There is a guest book as well as a PUSH PIN map to tell me where you're from!

Amenities that are unique to the house:
Coffee bar with multiple options (drip, keurig, french press, etc)
Vintage records (from my mother) and a player to play them on! (Board games and other rainy day activities in this 'game' area).
Old fashioned popcorn machine!
