Bob and Lee are the perfect hosts and have thought of everything a family would need for a great vacation. In addition to it being meticulously clean it's spacious, well appointed and very comfortable, with plenty of room to enjoy just hanging out if you can manage to stay inside when the restaurants and shops are just blocks away! We loved our stay there and would not hesitate to recommend this special house to anyone.

We had a wonderful time staying at this home for a multigenerational reunion. Location was excellent within walking distance to many places. The home itself is beautifully decorated and modern with historic charm. This was the most well stocked and detail orientated rental we have been to. At times we felt like we were staying in a luxurious hotel due to the quality, cleanliness, and added extra welcoming details. Bob and Lee were great with all communications.

There is no place better! When I saw that we needed to remove our shoes on entering I had high expectations. And this house met those expectations. The house was clean, thoughtful, and had all the details - beach chairs, charging cords, kid books and games, tea/coffee and all of high quality. The location was ideal for walking around town. The owners were attentive and helpful from check in through check out. We will be back.

This property was just perfect for our family gathering. In addition to being beautifully appointed, it had every comfort and convenience we could ask for. The location is great with many restaurants just a few minutes walk away. The hosts were very attentive and responded quickly to any questions we had.

Mystic Wedding

Stayed for cousins wedding, amazing location for downtown access. Beautifully decorated, all the needed accessories and items. Really responsive hosts. What a great house. Only watch out… it’s not handicap accessible, it’s not advertised as if it is or anything but my brother came as well last minute and couldn’t join us in the house for activities.

wonderful wedding weekend

we had a bright, warm, relaxing time in the home on the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. As 250 guests descended from all over the US on Mystic Country, we were happy to have a central spot in town, which served as our hub that weekend. This home is full of personality and charm. The owners were gracious and very good with communication. Don’t think twice. Enjoy!

Cozy Christmas Holiday

A beautiful, cozy home for a wonderful Christmas getaway with friends. Our party of 9 had plenty of room in this spacious home. It was immaculately clean and the Christmas decor and welcome basket was a lovely surprise. Well appointed kitchen with new appliances. Bathrooms are all updated and new with toiletries included. Within walking distance to Mystic shops and restaurants.

Amazing weekend in the best location!

First, let me start with how amazing communication is with Robert, the owner. He was extremely helpful and available if needed. The property is absolutely stunning. It is well maintained, clean, and well decorated for the fall season. The historic home was one of the best rental properties I have ever stayed in. The welcome gift of local goods from Bob and Lee was a special touch and really started the weekend off on a great note. You cannot beat the location of this home. We walked to absolutely everything all weekend. The two parking spots were great considering parking downtown could be a nightmare. The home is within a 5 minute and under walking distance to restaurants, shops, the drawbridge and anything/everything you need. The aquarium and village was only a 10 minute drive as well. My 2 and 4 year old loved the yard and playground across the street. They also loved the board games provided in the home to help keep them entertained during our down time. I would recommend this beautiful historic home to anyone.
