Come enjoy Mystic, in this charming home full of old-world character with modern comforts and amenities. This lovely 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is located on a quiet side street, steps from downtown Mystic. A writer residence, the home is available only for select dates each year, while we are traveling.

The house has a really welcoming feel to it, the way some houses do. And it really pleases me that guests report feeling relaxed, comfortable and at home here too. Whether you’re in town to explore Mystic, attend a wedding, visit family or for work you’ll find the house an ideal base for your adventures. The home is set up to comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests (and one to two dogs).

Cook meals in the large kitchen, fully stocked with pots, pans and kitchen gadgets or bring take-out home from one of Mystic’s many restaurants and dine in the cozy dining room or outside on the porch. Borrow a book from the library, set up a board game or connect to Netflix to watch a movie in the living room.

Plug in your laptop and catch up on work (if you must). Parents with kids will find associated children’s toys, books and more to make their stay more comfortable. One of the upstairs bathrooms has an antique clawfoot tub, perfect for soaking after a day of exploring. And a washer/dryer and off-street parking make the home ideal for longer stays.

Because I live here some of the time, there are some personal effects around the place, but there is plenty of storage space for guests' clothes (hooks, drawers and shelves), and many of the personal effects are books, art and wine that I've gathered on my travels. I'm a freelance writer, which means that there are lots of books which you are welcome to dip into (including books, maps, novels and poetry from the local area), wine you're welcome to open and various cooking supplies to help yourself to.

I try to be flexible about check-in / check-out times although during the summer have to be stricter to allow my housekeeper enough time to clean between guests. There is a lock box for self-check in and you will have the house to yourself.
