Mary's home is a sweet getaway in a country setting just 3 mins to Mystic by car. The house had everything you could possibly need. Mary was one of the nicest and most responsive hosts I've ever dealt with on VRBO. The home itself is a perfect size! The layout is great with bedrooms separated from the main living area. We really loved our stay there and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Adding my 5 star review to the list of many! The Little House is just as wonderful as the listing and other reviews make it out to be and Mary is an exceptional host. We stayed for a long weekend and were able to enjoy so many of Mystic’s attractions thanks to the great location. We’ve stayed in several VRBO properties before and the Little House was far and above the cleanest as well as best cared for we’ve experienced. Our 3 children were all daydreaming about living there forever!

We loved Mary’s place! It was perfect for our group which included 4 adults and 2 kids (4 and 7). There were so many books for the kids (and adults too!) to enjoy and they also loved the toys! The house was comfortable and clean and communication with Mary was so easy. She thought of every detail. It’s also close to all the local attractions but on a nice quiet street. I would highly recommend staying here!

Mary is the perfect host! She accommodated our needs before during and after our stay. The house layout was ideal for our group. Laundry room right off the entry, bbq patio with umbrella table and chairs, sunroom for dining and post dinner card games, seperste ac units for each bedroom, well equipped kitchen, privacy and nature located 5 minutes from groceries and restaurant. We could not have been more satisfied with our stay. Thanknyou Mary for everything!!

Mary is a very communicative host. Check in was easy The house is darling. The back patio has so many bird feeders which makes it really fun to watch. We grilled out which was nice. Very easy to get to town. One note, the 2nd bathroom is next to the kitchen and not near the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. Loved our stay.

Mary’s home was wonderful. Great location and very clean. Better stocked than anyplace we have stayed before. Mary was easy to communicate with and was ready to help with anything needed. The house is a real gem. We hope to stay again sometime. The location was great. Private, quiet yet easy to get to the attractions.

Our stay at Mary's home was lovely. It served as home base for my annual girls' trip for myself and 2 daughters and provided everything that we could have needed. My children (2 & 4) loved the toys and spent much of our free time enjoying them, especially the picture bingo! The yard was private and well cared for. I enjoyed morning coffee on the patio and the variety of wild life! We visited the seaport and aquarium; ordered in from Mystic Pizza (for delivery after 4 p.m.!), and found Dog Watch, which was a great/close eatery with a kids play area! We would totally stay at here again in the future! Thanks, Mary!

It was perfect. We were looking for a short get away that provided some fun things to do as a family, but also a quiet place to retreat. That is exactly what the little house offered. We spent hours enjoying the birds both from the window seat in the sunroom and from the back patio with a cup of tea or coffee in hand. There are several bird feeders on the property and if you have a keen eye you'll see humming birds, woodpeckers, nuthatches, sparrows, cardinals, blue jays and more.
The house was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, and the towels were soft and plentiful.
Mary responded immediately with answers to any questions we had. She also has the house labeled so you can figure out which light switch turns on which light and where to find everything.
The house is only minutes from Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, Olde Mistick and downtown Mystic, all of which we enjoyed visiting. We also traveled a little further to Niantic to the Book Barn (huge used book store). The only downside was that we had to leave. I would happily return to this little house and bird watching paradise.

Utterly charming cottage that backed to woods (we saw several deer); gleaming hardwood floors, lots of windows, large kitchen, very spacious. Loved the glass panel door to the bedroom wing and the built-in bookcases in the hallway which were well stocked with books and movies! You’ll gravitate to the bright sunroom/dining room with windows on three sides and a view of the many bird feeders which Mary has kept well stocked, summoning dozens of feathered friends to our continual delight. It. Was. Magical. Home was very clean and well kept; beds were super comfy. Mary is a terrific and responsive host. Location is perfect - just minutes from downtown Mystic. Loved our stay!

This house was more than we could have imagined! Close to everything, so serene, games, books, movies, and toys for kids. The house had everything we needed and more. My kids were calling it ‘home’ and we can’t wait to visit again!

This house was amazing. The back yard is beautiful, and so many birds watch. It's private and relaxing. And so close to the Aquarium and Olde Mystic Village. We had a wonderful stay, and felt right at home. Mary made us feel she would be easy to reach if we needed her for anything.

Perfect retreat in a fabulous location
We had a great stay in Mystic! The home had everything we needed, and more! We stayed here while our kids attended sailing camp at Mystic Seaport, but hope to come and stay again as there is so much more to see and do! Right from making our original booking - the communication with Mary was timely and informative, we cannot recommend this home, and Mary highly enough!

Perfect Week Getaway
We had a great week summer family vacation in Mystic. The house was in a private location but close to everything. The house was clean, comfortable and easy. Perfect with our 2 little boys. We enjoyed all the activities of Mystic and the gorgeous RI beaches!

One person in our group has limited mobility and the layout of the house was perfect. There was just a small step to enter the house, which she managed easily. The owner of the house was very communicative and helpful. The house was very clean and we loved watching the birds out the window. It was a great weekend!

Great stay
Everything was perfect. The hostess was incredibly nice, we were coming right on the heels of the hurricane Henri and she offered us the option of canceling throughout the uncertainty period and she kept us informed as to the weather down there. We are so glad we did go, it was a beautiful house in a lovely location. Quiet and isolated but very close to downtown and everything one might want to do in Mystic. Don't hesitate on this one!

My family (wife and 2 toddlers) and I recently stayed in this house and loved it. The house was the perfect location. It was within 6 minutes of everything we wanted to do in Mystic (i.e. the Seaport Museum, the aquarium and multiple restaurants). The house was very clean, well maintained and had great amenities. My toddlers spent hours reading the kids books and playing with the toys & games. It also brought me peace of mind to see that toys were cleaned and sanitized between stays. The rooms had individual AC units which were perfect at night. We also appreciated the simple touches of having a beach umbrella and chairs available for us to use and plastic utensils/plates available to make dinner clean up easy. We have already recommended this house to our friends for their future trips. Thanks for the great vacation experience, Mary!

This is how my daughter characterized this trip, and she was right.
This was our first vacation in 2 years, and was a combination family reunion, for our fully vaccinated family , and a baby shower for my daughter. We had permission from Mary to have this large event.
We had family come from 5 states, and everyone just loved the house.
We were so comfortable and we had everything we needed to have the best vacation.
We hope to be back with the baby!!

I recently stayed here for a long weekend with my husband and 4 other family members for my son's wedding. The house was very comfortable, clean, in a great location, and was appointed with everything we needed to use as our home base for a weekend of activities in the Mystic and surrounding areas. Mary is a wonderful host. She communicated with us well in advance to provide us check-in procedures and other pertinent information. She left us a lovely personalized note upon our arrival which added a very special touch to our stay, and communicated with us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Mary even ensured there was coffee, sugar, and creamer when we arrived after a long day of traveling! I especially enjoyed the breakfast area each morning where I could look out the window and watch all the birds at the multiple feeders in the yard. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the closets were well stocked with extra blankets, pillows, and hangars. There were only a couple of minor drawbacks to our stay (no outlets in one of the bathrooms and spotting cell phone reception in some parts of the house) but nothing that negatively impacted our stay. The house is in a great location with easy access to a nearby grocery store and all the downtown Mystic attractions. I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at this house for 4 nights in June. It is a lovely house that makes you feel at home with a serene setting. The location is great with all the main attractions in Mystic about a 5 minute drive away. We also took a day trip to Ocean Beach Park to use the pool/go to the beach. We loved watching the birds in the little nook. If you have children, the house is well equipped to accommodate. The house is very clean. Mary was very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. She also gave good tips for things we were interested in doing. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Cozy home
We loved this home! It was in a great location, very close to Mystic village and downtown Mystic. We loved the outdoor space, spending lots of time out there in the afternoon.

Felt right at home
One of the best! We love the area, and this house is about as classic as it gets. We felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The house had everything we needed and more. The yard was a great place to hang out in the evening with a glass of wine and family. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Mary was also as accommodating as they come.

This rental was perfect and exactly as advertised. The back patio was a wonderful place to sit in the evening as the sun set behind the trees. The location was perfect for a quick drive to Stonington, Mystic draw-bridge, Old Mystic Village, or I-95. Mary was also great with response time.
