About this house rental
Three acres of sprawling lawn is ideal for family games, picnics, and simply running around. The property has direct river access for sailing, kayaking, and swimming.
Owned by the same family for more than 40 years, the house was renovated in 2017 with the addition of air conditioning, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, and new washing machine and dryer while preserving the old world character and charm.
The main house comprises two spacious twin bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a chef's kitchen, an elegant dining room, and a welcoming living room with wood burning fireplace and an adjacent den. French doors lead to the deck and down to the rolling riverside lawn.
The rear of the house, close to the kitchen, is another outdoor seating area where a barbecue is located.
The guest house comprises two bedrooms, one sleeping four in a double and two twins and the other two twins. There is a shower bathroom, galley kitchen, and outdoor shower.
The property has 500 yards of riverside, with a dock and the only boathouse on the mouth of the Connecticut River. Perfect for boaters, fishing, bird watching, swimming, biking, and running. The expansive deck is perfect for sunbathing, sunsets, and outdoor dining. Boathouse has six kayaks and a canoe. Mooring for a boat.
The house is located on a quiet riverside cul-de-sac, minutes from the center of Old Lyme and the Florence Griswold Museum and Art Academy. It is within easy distance of Long Island Sound beaches, Mystic, Stonington, Connecticut College, Wesleyan, Chester, Newhaven, and ferries to Block Island and Long Island. Amtrak and Shoreline East trains from New York and Boston stop at Old Saybrook, a ten-minute drive, and Hartford airport is forty minutes by car.

Awesome! Where do we begin… first and foremost we can’t thank the owners and caretaker (Jeff) enough for the amazing stay and opportunity to enjoy this incredibly beautiful, charming property, filled with tender loving care and warm, family atmosphere just like home. This well appointed, clean, spacious and conveniently located Old Lyme, CT home was perfect for celebrating our daughter’s graduation from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, New London, CT and attending the many Academy graduation events (not more than 20-25 minute drive). The breathtaking views of the Connecticut River, Great Island Wildlife Area and sunsets were absolutely magnificent. The home and front yard overlooking the water was ideal for family celebrations, outdoor activities, and bon fires at the available fire pit, cookouts, and quiet strolls along the riverfront. This home was perfectly designed and built to create wonderful, lifelong family memories and its’ numerous pleasant and comfy accents will make any special occasion unforgettable. The home itself has a large, bright kitchen with plenty of counter space and it’s open, spacious floor plan with large dining room and table, outdoor patios and expansive, walk-out deck (equipped with awnings and patio furniture) are perfect for both outdoor and indoor entertaining. Even during inclement weather, we had plenty of space in the living room to set up extra tables allowing us to continue enjoying the awesome riverfront view and wildlife bird preserve full of amazing creatures, especially the resident Ospreys and Swans nesting nearby. Moreover, the detached, nearby guest house provided plenty of extra sleeping capacity and was perfect for younger family members to just hang out and chill. We highly recommend this property, especially to those who are seeking good old fashion family fun and relaxation, and most importantly lifelong, special memories. Thank you!
