Host was responsive and the location was great. We really appreciated the attention paid to the details. Having kids Tupperware available and toys made the stay enjoyable for us and our 1.5 year old toddler. Would recommend the place to any couples with a young kiddo in tow. Furniture placement was great with no sharp corners that a kid can fall on. Would stay again.

This property is in a perfect location to explore Mystic. Having a parking space, and being able to walk to most everything (shops, restaurants, the seaport museum), made the visit easy and enjoyable. The property was super clean and the host was very responsive. Good stay!

The apartment it’s very convenient to downtown, but in a very pretty and peaceful neighborhood. We found the house in perfect order, and very comfortable. There are all the basic kitchen necessities, although we ended up doing most of our cooking at daughter’s house in Noank. The owner provided clear directions and was always easy to reach. We had a great time and hope to return soon!

This house is in a perfect location for visiting Mystic. The house is located on a quiet street within walking distance of downtown. The house has classic New England charm. The first level of the house is perfect for small children, the house is all one level with no lips/molding on the floor-great for a wobbly toddler. The house is simple and comfortable. We enjoyed blowing bubbles in thr backyard, and listening to the birds. There is AC in the bedroom, which worked well. The ceiling fans helped the rest of the house feel comfortable. There is a portable AC that we didn't use. This place is perfect for a small family. I highly recommend for any family wanting an easy getaway!

Lynsey’s spot is on a quiet block but close to all Mystic has to offer. We loved being able to walk into downtown Mystic for food and shopping. It was also an easy walk to the Seaport Museum.
The house was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The instructions to access the house were clear, and it was nice that there was parking available. The linens/bedding was nice - not a huge thing for me usually but something I noticed and appreciated.
The host left some complimentary cider for us to try which was a nice touch :)
Would stay here again and recommend to others looking to spend time in the area.

Lovely house. So clean and cozy, walking distance to restaurants and shops. Lynsey was amazing and thought of everything. Really felt like a home away from home. The little touches made it feel special.

We moved from Connecticut a few years ago but were returning to Mystic for a wedding. We wanted to be among the wedding guests in downtown Mystic but did not want to drive and park each day.
This charming home was just perfect for two of us. It is old and historic, but has all the modern conveniences needed for a home away from home. It is literally steps from restaurants, the drawbridge and the beauty of the Mystic River. We would stay again.

The apartment was very nice, clean and very well stocked. The owner is very quick to respond to our questions. Lynsey even left for us the complimentary wine and cider from local Tapped Apple winery. Both were very delicious!!!
Overall, we had a great stay at this historic 1839 house.

This was our first vacation as a family of 3 and this was the perfect experience. My child is 18 months old and I love that the house was cozy, accommodating for a young child, and clean. You could not beat the location either as a lot of attractions, shopping, and restaurants were within walking distance and other attractions such as the aquarium were a quick drive. We had a comfortable and fun stay. The host was very communicative and welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

Our little family of four enjoyed a spring break weekend getaway at this lovely historic home. The location was perfect, we walked just about everywhere. The Engine Room and Lis’ Bakery were both great and right around the corner. The home was just big enough for us, and was clean, comfortable, welcoming, and stocked with all the essentials —as listed. Host was lovely as well. We had a great time!

Wonderful!
The place was absolutely adorable! Everything was cleaned organized. Lynsey provided us with a pack and play, high chair and swing for our 9 month old daughter which made packing for us SO MUCH easier! Communication was easy and prompt! We absolutely loved the personal touches like the chalkboard note greeting us in the kitchen, a cider beer and bottle of rosé from their friend’s distillery, and the binder and journal that provided every bit of information needed for the house and the area, plus a place to write a quick journal entry about your stay! And the location was perfect to everything we loved being able to walk everywhere. We couldn’t have been more thrilled with our first trip to Mystic for our very first family getaway! Would definitely recommend staying and we hope to be able to plan to stay again in the future!

Wonderful Memories!
We had a wonderful time in Mystic…the house was a perfect size for me and my son (17 years old) and in a great location. It’s conveniently located near all the shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors, and a short drive to the Mystic Aquarium and more shops. Lynsey (property owner) made us feel at home with notes about the area and a gift. We look forward to our next visit! Thanks Lynsey!

Perfect Stay in a Perfect Location
Lynsey's place is a wonderful place to spend some time when visiting Mystic, as my fiancé and I did for Memorial Day Weekend. Can't ask for a better location for a quick walk to shops, restaurants, etc. And there is more than enough space throughout to relax. Everything is as advertised and we'd absolutely look to stay here again.

Perfect Location
I would highly recommend this property. On a quiet side street but easy walk to downtown, drawbridge and restaurants. It also has a dedicated parking spot. Would absolutely stay here again if coming to Mystic.

This is just a great house. It is historic, but has all of the amenities for a fantastic stay. And the location is just perfect. You can be out the door and right in the heart of downtown Mystic with a 90-second walk. But it is just off a little side street, so it is quiet and secluded, even though it is so close to everything.

The perfect size and location!
My family of three enjoyed a week at this adorable property. This house has all of the charms of an older property, but the modern comforts most people come to expect. The reservation process was very easy and the communication was timely and comprehensive.
The absolute best thing about this property is the location - everything is easily accessibly with short walks to the downtown area, close-by restaurants, and a short drive to anything else you might need.
I highly recommend this property and will definitely be booking for our next trip to Mystic!

Absolutely Wonderful
Absolutely wonderful experience. Lynsey's property was everything we wanted and more. The house was clean, with all the amenities we could have desired, plus a number of personal touches that made our stay even better. We particularly enjoyed eating breakfast every morning in the sunshine on the back deck. The property is in close proximity to virtually everything in town, and lynsey provided great recommendations!
