Charming 1845 Home in the Heart of Mystic – Walk to Everything!

Step into history without sacrificing comfort at our lovingly restored 2-bedroom home, ideally located in the heart of downtown Mystic. Just steps from the Mystic Museum of Art, Captain Daniel Packer Inn, and the iconic drawbridge, you'll be within easy walking distance of shops, waterfront dining, breweries, and everything else this seaside village has to offer.

Built in 1845, this Greek Revival home brims with character - think wavy glass windows, slanted floors, and steep old-world stairs - paired with thoughtful modern updates like fast Wi-Fi, HDTV, and efficient climate control. Guests frequently rave about our unbeatable location, cozy decor, and excellent communication.

Upstairs, you’ll find two comfy queen bedrooms, a newly renovated bathroom, and a reading nook with river views. Downstairs, enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, eclectic living and dining areas, and a vintage vibe that feels like a step back in time - with all the conveniences of today.

Sip coffee on the front porch while watching boats glide by on the Mystic River, or grill dinner out back beneath the historic St. Jago Ledge. Families appreciate our books, puzzles, toys, and baby gear (high chair + Pack 'n Play), while couples love the romantic charm and walkable neighborhood.

Additional perks include:
- Sofa bed for extra guests
- Private parking for two cars or one with a boat trailer
- Public boat launch just a minute’s stroll away
- Mystic Marina dockage across the street

Come stay where comfort meets history and everything Mystic has to offer is just outside your door.

Second time for us, staying at this home. Each time we have enjoyed it more. Very clean and comfortable. The location is great, easy to get around. The house itself makes you feel welcomed.

The house is a very sweet old fashioned cottage but has all the important updates. The living/dining room is large and comfortable so it is great for spending time with friends and family. The host was friendly and the logistics were straight forward. Fantastic location. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others.

We loved our stay at this beautiful historic house in Mystic, located within close walking distance to the main street and river. Beds were comfortable and furnishings simple, historic, and tasteful. Be aware if you have mobility issues that, being a 150+ year old house, the floors are quite undulating! Thanks for a lovely experience.

Very convenient to everything. This house reflects the true essence of Mystic with it's history and nautical influences. We had everything we needed for our stay. Just a few steps away from Main Street, it was far enough from the traffic and hustle & bustle. We will definitely return to this house for future visits to Mystic!

We had a great time at this Mystic house. We lucked out, snagging a last minute few days, at a very affordable rate for the area! The house was great - definitely on the older and quirky end. They weren't lying about the slanted floors...but it gives the house good character! It was a great size for our family of 5, with enough space to spread out if needed. The kitchen was small, but well stocked. The location was in perfect walking distance to downtown, to check out all the stores and restaurants. The driveway was a bit tough, depending on the traffic, so highly suggest backing into it if you can. Great weekend - highly recommend this place!

We loved this quirky historic home decorated with lots of interesting items yet all the “modern” amenities in the very comfortable living room and bedroom spaces. The location is fabulous- walking distance to the entire downtown area and across the street from two of the best restaurants in Mystic! The owner Michael is great, very proactive with check in and check out information and very responsive to any messages. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Across the street from the harbor, a short stroll to some of Mystics best eateries — Oyster Club, Rise, and Sift. Antique home with quirky decor, new heat and AC, spacious bath. Great value for money.

Because i have lived in Mystic, i knew exactly where this property was and it checked all my boxes. The location is so close to all things downtown Mystic has to offer. You can park your car and walk everywhere. Parking in Mystic has always been a problem, however now there is a huge parking lot at the end of Cottrel Street.

The house is very welcoming and comfortable. The location is perfect. Great place to relax and enjoy after a day of touring in Mystic. The house is very clean and shows a wonderful attention to detail by the host. The host is extremely each to talk to and very responsive to questions. Hopefully going to return next year.

Very clean and cozy home. We stayed for 2 nights with our 2 boys and newborn daughter. It was very comfortable, clean and had all the comforts of home especially bringing my newborn. Walking distance to the town of Mystic and short drive for other local attractions. Great location!

10/10

This property truly is a stroll's distance from downtown. Mystic Pizza just a short walk away. (You really should eat there at least once.) The house is right off the street but is very quiet in the evening, so no problem. The description is accurate so remember the stairs are steep. The landing at the top is a pleasant spot to read in. Beds comfy with a selection of pillows. Kitchen had all the basics needed.

We were looking for a place to stay with our family of five (two adults and three children ranging from 1-9 years old), and we took a chance on this place. What an amazing stay! We could walk to downtown Mystic in just a few minutes, my daughters loved exploring the book shelf full of games and toys, and my young son had a high chair, pack-n-play, and a box of baby toys waiting for him. It was clean, homey, and close to all of the things we wanted to do. We hope to come back for many summers to come. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

10/10

My daughter and I stayed for a couple nights. The property is certainly quirky but looking at some of the details of the house you can not help but find yourself thinking of its existence since the mid-1800's (if our investigations were accurate). The treads on the stairs alone evoke images of the decades of use (unless they're original - then over a century!). Really enjoyed the property.

This property is a wonderful place tostay to enjoy the amienceof southeastern, CT. Growing up in nearby Stonington, Mystic, CT has a special place in our hearts. We all live now in New Orleans, LA and Mobile, AL. We made a special visit so that my now daughter's fiancee' could propose to her in the Mystic, CT area. This home provided us with the ambiance of homes past lived in in the area. It is perfect for families.. It allowed us to create a special memory within the home's surroundings. The property manager was very accessible and welcoming.
