On the second floor, you'll find two bedrooms, one with additional space perfect for smaller family members and a convenient washer and dryer. NOTE: Stairs to the second floor are steep and narrow.
"Last House on The River" was originally built in 1797; along with its many updates, it still holds many of its original features, like the warming box in the fireplace, the steep, narrow and tapered custom colonial staircase, and the stone steps that lead from the backyard down to the top of the Mystic River. The beautifully updated kitchen has cherry cabinets, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances that will impress any chef. The modern appliances make a perfect complement to the historic charm of this home. Gas stove top. Guests can choose to cook their meals or order from the numerous delicious and award-winning local restaurants.
The living room is very cozy, and for those nights when you want to relax, the smart TVs are fully equipped for your movie-watching needs. The original 1797 fireplaces provide an added touch of warmth and charm but are just for aesthetics now. Beautiful old-style wide plank floors keep with the historic charm of Mystic while offering modern touches throughout the home. This house represents the perfect combination of new and old, giving your stay a unique character.
The backyard patio is a true highlight of this vacation home. It offers the luxury of an inground pool and combines an attractive and inviting atmosphere that stands out from other properties. The patio is an ideal spot to relax and unwind, bask under the sun in the comfort of lounge chairs while sipping refreshing drinks. The lush and verdant surroundings lend a serene ambiance that makes you feel like a peaceful oasis. The pool area offers a beautiful yard that emphasizes the home's charm, creating a beautiful space to gather with friends and family. Plus, the Mystic River anchors the back of the property, providing just one more magical touch.

This home's backyard setting is a lovely retreat like setting that allows you to unwind, relax, read, paint or gather together comfortably. Great pool! Great living room for tv watching on downtime. The house does have what you need, not lacking for anything in the kitchen. The stairs are steep as stated. It's a slow trek up with bad hips or knees and impossible for my 92 yr old mother to go up to use the shower. Only a half bath on the first floor so rent accordingly. The house is historical so can be musty especially on humid days. Missed not being able to open a window upstairs when we didn't want the air conditioner on. In a great location, close to Mystic attractions and restaurants. Overall, a nice place to rent.

We (6 adults, one toddler) visited this historic home on the Mystic river and had an incredible time! The home is perfect for those who want to hang around cooking and catching up with each other in a charming, cozy, and peaceful country-side home. The kitchen is stocked with every tool you could ever need, and if you can't find one, the hosts are extremely responsive. The backyard amenities are incredible, especially coming from NYC. The pool was lovely, clean and refreshing, there's a fire pit with ample seating, and a relaxing spot to watch the Mystic River flow by. The bedrooms were comfortable and offered lots of historic charm. The house is very close to Olde Mistick Village and a short drive to Downtown Mystic. I would absolutely recommend staying here. I'd love to visit again someday when I want to escape the city heat and noise and relax in peaceful charming space by the pool!

We were concerned about the very steep winding staircase to the 2nd floor...I do not suggest it for someone with difficulty in climbing such a staircase. Our accomodations were very comfortable and it was easy to have our concerns answered with a call to the representatives. We were very close to all the attractions and restaurants that we wanted to visit.

We loved staying in this cozy, historic home! We were traveling with 4 adults and a toddler, there was plenty of room for everyone including a little playroom ideal for our pack n play. The backyard is an amazing bonus too. It’s important to know someone with even mild mobility problems may not be comfortable on the stairs, but there’s a bedroom downstairs for that. Perfect location for exploring all around the Mystic area, can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The home was very quaint, and in a great location. The grounds and setting were gorgeous. We could not find a wine opener. Otherwise, the kitchen was fully stocked. Also, could not locate an iron or a hairdryer. Otherwise the accommodations were great. The location was convenient to all of the stops that we wanted to make during our trip. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only reason I didn't give it 5-stars was the check-in process. The map took us to a different part of town and a different house. After a 7-hour car ride, it was a little frustrating. That said, the stay was very relaxing, the hosts were very communicative, and the house was beautiful. We had a great time and I highly recommend this property!
