The home is filled with all the comfort that is needed for a family and couple seeking a getaway. The host is accommodating and we had a fantastic stay.
This beautiful home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood with the perfectly serene backdrop of the water. Home was comfortable and stylish, stocked with all the necessities. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend the location and hosts!
This property was clean, comfortable, cozy, and close to area attractions including Mystic Aquarium and Seaport Museum. It was also convenient to several waking trails and restaurants. The views from inside and the backyard allow you just sit and watch the river go by and watch the sunset.
Fabulous home and property! The home is cozy and well appointed, with gorgeous river views from nearly all rooms. This is a perfect escape from the demands of everyday life. Hosts are gracious and responsive. Looking forward to returning soon!
Went with two colleagues to write for a few days. We throughly enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for us to work. We loved the deck and enjoyed coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings, as well as working during the day. The windows on the first floor and principal bedroom had a fantastic view. Close to New London and Mystic for cafes/restaurants.
Our family had a wonderful long weekend. The house was absolutely stunning and well suited to our needs. I especially appreciated the ample storage space and the thoughtful inclusion of hooks for towels, which were provided in abundance.
And the views—what a treat! Relaxing by the Niantic River was the perfect way to unwind, and our kids ventured out on their paddle boards a few times. Friday evening's sunset was simply breathtaking.
During our stay, we visited the Seaport Museum, explored Olde Mystic Village, walked the boardwalk to Niantic, and enjoyed browsing at the Book Barn. However, the highlight of the trip was our Sunday visit to Harkness Memorial State Park. Wow—what a place! It's hard to leave - hope we can come back!
