Host profile image
As hosts, we believe every guest deserves a space that feels like home: peaceful, comfortable, and welcoming from the moment you arrive. We’re a family who enjoys travel, community, and creating inviting places where others can unwind and reconnect!

Having roots along the East Coast, we’ve always appreciated the calm beauty of Groton, CT. Hosting our Groton Retreat allows us to share that feeling with others: quiet mornings by the water, cozy evenings with loved ones, and the sense of relaxation that only New England can offer.

We take pride in providing thoughtful touches, clear communication, and a truly relaxing stay. For us, hosting isn’t just about offering a place to sleep, it’s about creating meaningful experiences and lasting memories for every guest who walks through the door.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it captures the very best of New England’s coastal charm: peaceful, picturesque, and full of character. Nestled in the heart of Groton, this area offers a perfect balance between tranquil retreat and convenient access to local favorites like historic Mystic, downtown New London, and coastal beaches.

For us, this neighborhood represents everything we value: simplicity, serenity, and historic charm!

What makes this property unique

What truly sets Groton Retreat apart is its balance of privacy and proximity tucked away in a quiet neighborhood yet minutes from beaches, historic attractions, and seaside dining. It’s more than a stay, it’s a place to recharge, reconnect, and experience coastal New England at its best!
