Terrific family getaway

Review Submitted: September 7, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We rented out this home with little notice - the cheerful owners hustled to get it cleaned on unexpectedly short order. It is beautiful, decorated charmingly, and spacious, with a wide variety of gathering places for different groupings of people to gather, talk, play, and more. Some beds were firmer than others. Old-fashioned games (and newer ones) kept the little ones occupied, as did picking vegetables in the garden. There's a terrific public playground a short walk away, and just walking the houses in the neighborhood is pleasant. A huge, varied reading supply is available throughout the house, as well. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, and we prepared all our meals (for 9) in it without difficult, serving and eating them in the dining room. The gardens and grounds were quite enchanting in late August. It is a five minute walk to historic Mystic, with beautiful views, shops, restaurants, and boats.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: It is such a pleasure to know that our guests have enjoyed our home and wonderful town. We feel it is a special place that is particularly suitable to multi-generational family groups as there is much of interest withing walking distance for many ages. It is particularly heartening to arrive back to a home as clean as we left it with the feeling it was appreciated as a special retreat. Thank you!

Review Submitted: August 1, 2003 Date of Stay: August 2003
We had such a wonderful Christmas holiday at your Captain's home. When you asked for comments for the guestbook we couldn't resist adding ours. Everything was more than expected. The Christmas tree, garlands & festive decorations ready for our own stockings. Then, the timely snow fell silently. Some thought the ghost of the captain was in charge in the attic. Our sunny walks in the snow from the Mystic Seaport Museum, through the festive village & up the hill to your home brought back warm memories of past family gatherings. Thank you for sharing your lovely, peaceful home with us at this special time of year.
