About this house rental

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, TV, free WiFi, and access to a spacious yard equipped with table and chairs for outside dining. Window fans and a cross breeze provide ventilation. On street parking. Property owner lives on site in a cottage at the rear of the property.

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.

We vacation in RI every summer and have rented places in a number of towns, including Stonington, CT. This area is our favorite as it's close enough to the beaches yet has more to do and see than staying closer to our favorite beach (Blue Shutters). The proximity to Mystic, historic Stonington, Westerly, Charlestown, Narragansett, and Newport made it a great option, and the flat itself was quite enjoyable. Dorothy was very kind and always available if needed, and having things like bedding and bath towels provided was very helpful. This unit is great for a couple or perhaps a child or two, but the sofa bed didn't seem like a viable option for adults so it would be better suited for the kiddos. We enjoyed the various vintage/antique items as well as having a smart tv for before bed. The hot water supply made it through three showers in a row so that was a huge bonus. The bathroom itself was only a couple small tweaks away from being great, but overall served our needs well. We enjoyed our stay in Dorothy's place.

This was an enjoyable, comfortable first-floor stay in this house on a street off the highway into Stonington. Comfortable living room and bedroom to hang out. Very pleasant and with a welcoming host.

Cute apartment in old house. If staying in the summer months, beware there is no AC. Yes, there is a cross breeze and ceiling fans however, if there is high humidity and raining, it can be quite warm and uncomfortable. As far as cleanliness, everything was clean for the most part. Overall, not a bad place to stay for the price.

My partner and I stayed here during a historic heat wave that no one, including our host, could have anticipated would hit CT as hard as it did. That being said, I definitely didn't read the description well enough and assumed there would be AC or some kind of cooling machine present. There isn't and it made it a bit difficult to be comfortable, especially at night. The windows and ceiling fans helped a lot but it was too loud in the morning to keep them open, unfortunately. Also, the wifi was barely strong enough to load anything, which presented some issues in getting directions and providing entertainment. That being said, those issues did not detract from our enjoyment! We made good use of the board games that were provided and stayed out in the neighboring towns most of the days anyway. I think walking to downtown Stonington would have been too difficult in the heat, but we did manage to walk to the nearby shopping arcade and loved the restaurant we ate at. It was overall a very cute trip for a great price.

We were booked in for a one night stay and found everything as described. The house was clean and tidy, Dorothy our host, had opened screened windows and turned on ceiling fans ahead of our arrival. Thank You Dorothy! That made a lovely difference on a hot day! The bedding was delightful, crisp and fresh and the bed comfortable. Would stay again if ever in the area.
