My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with a weekend getaway to Mystic and out stay here was PERFECT! Anne was a wonderful host who greeted us warmly and gave us the rundown and insider tips on making the most of our visit. The guesthouse had all of the amenities we could hope for. It’s a very short walk into town and a short drive from even more fun. Highly recommended!

My wife and I spent a week at Anne & Ken's romantic guesthouse in Mystic and it did not disappoint! The checkin process could not have been smoother. Our hosts were great communicators and always willing to answer questions or provide assistance.
The property itself was clean, bright and well appointed with just a short walk to downtown and all that Mystic has to offer. The fact that you did not have to hunt for parking was a real plus!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning to continue our explorations of wonderful coastal Connecticut!

The cliff house is in a fantastic location for a short stroll into the shopping and dinning area of Mystic. Ann and Ken are great host and gave excellent pointers on where to shop and dine. All in all a great get away for a couple.

This was our first trip to Mystic and the Cliffside Guesthouse was ideal. The Guesthouse was clean, comfortable, and bright and very tastefully decorated. The yard was neatly manicured and the gardens contained blooming hydrangea shrubs that were beautiful. It’s location made for an easy stroll along the Mystic River to the center of town, where there is a multitude of shops and restaurants, as well as places to just sit and watch the activities along the river. Anne and Ken were very hospitable and friendly and provided us with a list of suggested restaurants and things to do, which were invaluable to us since we had never been to Mystic before. Our visit was short but we hope to return.

We had a wonderful time during out stay. The property is clean and comfortable with full sized kitchen appliances. We were with in walking distance to downtown Mystic and were still far enough away to not to hear the the crowds of people and traffic! Anne and Kenneth were wonderful hosts and we hope to have the opportunity to come back again! Thank you!

This was a lovely guesthouse for our 3 night getaway to Mystic. The host, Anne, met us when we arrived and helped us with our luggage and gave us a tour of the house. The house is very clean, well organized and had everything we needed including excellent air conditioning for those humid days we've been having. The walk into Mystic center takes about 10 minutes and is really a delightful walk. It's obvious that Anne and Ken put a lot of time and work into their lovely home and guesthouse. We would definitely stay here again.

My mother and I stayed at the Cliffside Cottage and it was absolutely fabulous! Anne and Ken were great hosts! Due to an issue with my number in the VRBO app, they were not able to reach me which I felt terrible about! However, when we arrived they were so welcoming and Anne showed us the cottage and helped with our luggage. So incredibly cute and just perfect for our stay. It was like a little apartment with every detail needed - down to salt and pepper! There was even a book provided with recommended restaurants and things to do while in Mystic which we used often. It was in walking distance to downtown Mystic which is such a lovely seaside town. We had a amazing time and would definitely stay again if we travel to Mystic in the future. A must stay!!!

This guest suite was even better than pictured. Excellent location and absolutely beautiful. We would have lived there if that was an option. Anne was very communicative and gave excellent suggestions for food and things to do. The weather was cold and rainy during our stay, but we still managed to have a good time and enjoy cozy time in the apartment. If you are looking at this place, don’t even think about it just do it! Any time we come back to Mystic we would love to return.

This property is as advertised - clean, modern, very nice, and in a great location. Anne and Ken were very helpful and walked me through the property on my arrival, had great suggestions for things to see during my visit, and I really enjoyed getting to visit with them. The property is in a very quiet location, but within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. Highly recommend for anyone staying in the Mystic area.

I booked the guesthouse for a surprise birthday getaway to Mystic for my wife. This place is quiet, comfortable, clean, nicely decorated, and just a short walk from downtown. We had a wonderful relaxing stay. Also I must say, the interaction with our host Anne was a wonderful surprise, as most places we have stayed are just email conversations. She called the morning before we headed there to chat a bit about the place and asked to let her know when we would be arriving so she could meet us. She showed us thru the guesthouse, gave us the lowdown on the hot spots around town, and advised us on making reservations for any dinner plans at downtown places.(greatly appreciated) We would definitly stay here again.

The Cliffside Guesthouse was the perfect spot for us to stay during our recent visit to Mystic. It is so cozy and thoughtfully decorated! Located on a quiet neighborhood street, Cliffside, is just steps away from spectacular views along the Mystic River, or coffee and shopping in town. Anne, our host, couldn"t have been more hospitable. We hated to leave!

Our stay was perfect.. Ann and Ken have thought of ever little detail. Their was even a robe for my wife to use. The apartment is perfect for two people with plenty of room and a full kitchen. The location is perfect, you can walk to Main Street where there are plenty of restaurants and shops. We can’t wait to come back.

I had am amazing time here! Ken and Anne were fabulous hosts who provided great recommendations and a seamless check-in/out process. They were very considerate hosts. You can't beat the location- only about 0.2 miles to the center of town and is an easy, flat walk. Place was immaculate and well air-conditioned for a few hot days. Will definitely be staying here again!

Cliffside Guest house is a most wonderful home away from home when visiting Mystic, CT. The private guesthouse has all the amenities and comfort of home and just a few minutes walk into downtown Mystic. Anne and Ken have created a beautiful home and are most accommodating hosts. Staying here is definitely a special treat!

This was our first experience with a VRBO and everything was perfect! Anne was an amazing host, great communication. The property was spotless and beautifully appointed. We loved how comfortable it was (we felt like we had our own apartment in downtown Mystic) and how close it was to walk everywhere we needed to go! Fabulous stay, can't wait to go back!

Our hosts were gracious, informative, and friendly! The guesthouse was nicely appointed with everything you need for a great and stress-free stay, along with many extra touches that make you feel so welcomed. 5 stars across the board is not an overestimation for this lovely place.
The location was superb! Just a block from a walk along the river, or a few blocks from the heart of Mystic with many shops and restaurants, make it easy to leave your vehicle and any parking hassles behind. Yet this proximity does not encroach into the quiet and serene setting of the property. At night you can hear the peepers as you sit on the little veranda.
We had many great suggestions on dining/beaches from our hosts, yet had plenty of privacy and came and went as we pleased. It was a nice starting point too for drives into Newport, RI ; New Haven, CT, etc. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and enjoyed our impromptu conversations with our hosts.
