Our family of six adults and three children spent five nights in this amazing property right on the Mystic River. The location is amazing and the property is clean and comfortable and there is plenty of parking. The host could not have been nicer and went above and beyond to make sure everything was as it should be.

Just returned from a great Mother’s Day weekend at this beautiful historic house. I love that they really kept with the theme of the home in their decor. Not only is the home located in a picture perfect spot but once you park your car you never have to get in it again until it’s time to go home. The location was in walking distance to the many wonderful restaurants, boutiques and bars in town. The house was also equipped with everything you could ask for and the check-in and checkout were as easy as could be. Gerard was wonderful to work with! Would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing, easy getaway.
