We are located on the river, across from the Seaport and very near the famous drawbridge. We want our guests to know that their safety, and the safety of our employees and the community are our top priority. That is why we have added procedures, as recommended by the CDC, to our already rigid cleaning/preparation protocols.

Excellent house , close to all the things we wanted to do
The house was beautiful and we really enjoyed exploring the town and walking to most places. There were toys for our child to play with and even books for her to read! The proximity to all the restaurants was our favorite part!

Beautiful stay
We stayed here for a birthday trip and it was such a special experience. The check in was a breeze and the host was very professional and kind. Everything was clean and the sheets and bedding were very nice and soft. The historic nature of the home was was made it the most special- we loved that it was kept intact and all the antique touches. It’s extremely close to the Main Street which is amazing- we could walk to the shops and restaurants easily and it’s still peaceful and quiet. A wonderful trip!

Very enjoyable family Christmas at Captain’s house in Mystic
This property made it easy for us to enjoy our time at Christmas - as family traveling from 3-5 hours away to be together. The location is great and the design and style of the home was a good fit for us, and was very accommodating. We look forward to staying again.
