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, Smart TV, free WiFi, and access to a spacious yard equipped with table, chairs, and a charcoal grill for outside dining. Window fans and a cross breeze provide ventilation. For comfort on extreme heat days, a window air conditioner has recently been added. On street parking. Property owner lives on site in a cottage behind the house.
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.

Very clean and comfortable. The host was kind and cared about our experience. Quiet and off the beaten path; a hidden gem for sure, wonderful place to stay if you find yourself in the area! Check in was easy and the kitchen was full size with all appliances, basic necessities to cook meals to save money and enjoy the local seafood.

A great place to stay for The HMF Mystic Half Marathon & 10K

We stayed at this house for the weekend and found that it had the bare essentials we needed for a short stay—nothing fancy, but it got the job done. The owner let us extend our checkout and the hot water was excellent—long, hot showers were a big plus, especially after running a half marathon! What really stood out was the owner’s communication—responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay.

We have stayed here several times and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The apartment is private in a quiet neighborhood. We liked being able to walk to the local farmers market and Saltwater Farm Vineyard is just down the street. We can’t wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Dorothy H Papp

Host profile image
Please call me Dorothy. I originally hale from outside of Akron, Ohio, and moved to Stonington in 1979 when my former husband and I opened and lived upstairs from Noah's Restaurant. In 1998, I sold my share in the restaurant and moved to Grandview Park, a whole mile away. In the early 70's, we spent four and a half years hitchhiking around Europe and across Africa as well as living in Worfelden, Germany while working for the American Military. VRBO is my way of paying forward the hospitality of strangers from around the world during that adventure.

Why they chose this property

I have become a fairly private person over the years, and I like the neighborhood because the people are friendly and considerate neighbors. A heads up for potential visitors: Most people do not have air conditioning and though I get a lot of feedback that it's a quiet place to stay, there can be outdooor gatherings with children and/or music in good weather. I don't recall being kept awake after 11 or even 10 and I've been here 26 years now.

What makes this property unique

The ambience of an early 20th century home, and a 'self-led' spacious yard.
