My husband and I live in Mystic, a 5-minute drive from Old Mystic. Even though you are set up for self-check-in, you may see one of us around watering plants, putting water out for guests, or turning on lights. But rest assured, we are harmless and will respect your space and privacy. If you seek answers, would like suggestions, or even meet us, we are here for you and delight in sharing this lovely little village with visitors! We are available to help make your stay a perfect one!
Quaint is an understatement. Convenient to everything! Take a walk down River Road, ride your bike all the way to Mystic, or launch your Kayak a short distance away. There’s an amazingly friendly post office across the street, and an antiques shop open Friday-Sunday where you never know what you will find. Our town is quiet at night, and if you are in town on a Sunday, you may even hear the sound of Church bells as you rise for your morning coffee. We are a few short steps from Haley’s Way Park, a park with a playground and field for the little ones. During the fall months, you’ll be a stone’s throw from BF Clyde’s Cider Mill, the oldest cider mill in the country.
Do you desire a day to just relax after traveling? Make a to-go lunch or grab some takeout and one of our blankets and have lunch on our lawn under the big Maple trees.
If you enjoy walking, jogging, or biking, we have complimentary bikes available, as part of your getaway, the scenic River Road is just around the corner across the little bridge.
Ready to go out and explore? Spend a day at the Mystic Seaport Museum and immerse yourself in maritime history. See the ships and buildings that inspired our room names at the Carriage House, the 1784 Denison Home, and Williams & Smith Cottage next door~ you need to board the Charles W. Morgan, the last whaleship left!
Spend a day exploring the Mystic Aquarium and make a date with one of the Beluga Whales.
Craving a beach day? Pack one of our beach bags and towels and head over to a local beach or one of Rhode Island’s beaches- easily accessible with a 15-minute drive.

Venture out to one of the wineries or breweries for an afternoon sip and taste.
Do you crave a bit of nature during your Mystic stay? Walk one of the many scenic farms nearby.
