My husband and I stayed in the large house for 12 days and my daughter, her husband and their dog stayed in the cottage for 5 days. The property was spacious, clean and very well appointed. The location was great. It was very close to Mystic , Westerly and Newport. We are looking forward to returning some day in the near future.

Amazing home and property! This home was more than comfortable for our extended family of 10 to spend time together. The house is well cared for with modern amenities. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking family-style meals. The kitchen and dining area is a beautiful gathering space for large groups. The home is charming, and the property is well cared for. We enjoyed walking the property and using the outdoor gathering spaces for morning coffee and late-night chats.
The hospitality of the property managers Trish and Brandon was spectacular! It was interesting to learn about the history of the home and the surrounding area. The home offers easy access to groceries and I-95 while providing seclusion and privacy.

Perfect house. Impressively provisioned. Great common spaces including very pleasant views of outdoor green spaces.
Exactly as listed. Property managers were fabulous with great communication and available for anything we needed (which we didn't - house had absolutely everything). It was a very satisfying rental experience and an extremely comfortable house. Would return in a heartbeat! We loved it.

This home is definitely at the top of our list of favorites! From the moment we entered the grounds with its historic stone walls and spacious yard, to the bright and light kitchen/dining area we felt the charm this property provides. The house essentially is circa 1739 but believe me it is maintained to the highest degree with all the comforts you could ask for! To say it was clean is an understatement. It was impeccable!! We never wanted for any amenities. Everything was provided. The home overall allowed for our family of 10 to feel at ease with ample bedrooms, bathrooms and sitting areas.
The care that has been given to this home is evident and the fact that the owners shared this with us is greatly appreciated. The location is amazing. Just a quick 4 minute drive to Mystic Village and Aquarium. Such an inviting and pretty area to spend the day at!
Renting and staying in this home was such a positive experience. The manager Trish and her husband were incredible to say the least!! They went above and beyond in every regard. (I'm not someone who uses exclamation marks freely but in this case I feel like I could use one after each and every sentence . This home and the memorable experience was that SPECIAL!!!!!!!!

Four and then five friends joined to celebrate a friend's birthday. We were so charmed by this property, we loved being there. It had the historic charm of a 17th century property, a design scheme that added warmth to every room and a very special dining room with surround windows, it was perfect for us. Each of us had our own bedroom. It was very convenient to both Mystic and Stonington. A big shout out to property manager--Trish Watson--who was very attentive to our needs and who we all wanted to be our new friend, she is nice and efficient. We all want to come back. Great, great property.

We rented Yankeedoodle Farm as our daughter was getting married in the area. We held the rehearsal dinner at the property and it was truly amazing. The property had plenty of parking, 5 spacious bedrooms, 4 bathrooms plus the cottage was used as overflow for our guests! The property manager was so responsive to all our requests. The grounds were so well cared for, the house was immaculate and we could not have had a better time!!! We have decided to make this house an annual visit! Amazing Place!

We loved our stay in Stonington. Our group of four adults and four teens (and a a pup) had plenty of room to spread out and relax. Days in Mystic were wonderful, great food is everywhere, and we had lovely nights around the fire-pit with plenty of day trips for antiquing, bookshop hopping, wine tasting, and beach walks. The house is truly lovely with too many personal touches to count. No one in our group had any complaints (and with four teens, that says a lot!!!) Thank you Trish! We will be back!

This spectacular property is private with an abundance of necessities plus those little special touches. Trisha was so sweet and responsive to any questions or requests. The home was beautifully furnished with very unique pictures and the charm of the home made it very cozy. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and visits from friends and family. It is close to beaches, adventures in Connecticut, and Southern Rhode Island. This experience will be hard to match anywhere else. Thank you owners for letting us share your lovely home.

Perfect place for my big group!
We were a group of 10 and it was perfect! My group age ranged from 13 to 77 and everyone loved staying there. They supplied everything you could need down to beach towels and chairs. We enjoyed the firepit several nights and the grill as well. Plenty of space for us to gather when we wanted to but still have our own areas to retire to. Trish was awesome and always just a text message away when a question arose! Overall a great place to stay!

Trish and Brandon were wonderful hosts for our multi-family celebration. They were attentive to our questions, and dropped off items as needed. The ole Yankee Doodle Farmhouse was perfect with plenty of bedrooms and separate bathrooms for two families and guests. The spacious ground floor with new kitchen and dining area were perfect for hosting our BBQ graduation party with about 30-40 guests. The huge front yard and gravel driveway were more than adequate for handling all the guests parking. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor SOLO fire pit was the best. The “firsties” used it literally every night and there was plenty of firewood to boot. We used all the lawn chairs for the grad party and the graduates enjoyed the BBall court and the backyard lawn to throw the football around. As a wonderful touch, the expansive backyard lawn was mowed the day before just in time for the party!
We all created some wonderful lifetime memories at the Yankee Doodle Farmhouse! Thanks again so much,
David and Winnie

Great house for family!
This home was large and had everything that we needed to have a relaxing stay. A perfect home for a family vacation or gathering. It is central to shopping and restaurants in the area. It is worth noting, the neighbors are closer than we expected and there is a caretaker that lives on site, although he keeps to himself.

Christmas in Connecticut
We visited our daughter to celebrate Christmas in January in this home. The home is spacious with more than enough of everything one could possibly need! Bill was in the guest house next door and was immediately available when needed, but he was never “in the way”. We appreciated his presence. Would definitely stay there again. It was a very cozy home. We are still talking about what a great visit we all had.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen/dining area was a great place for our whole group to hang out. The spacious kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The house has so much character. The yard has tons of room for kids/teens to runaround. All the New England charm you desire. We were excited to see 4 deer on ours walks down the driveway. Blue jays and squirrels too. Would definitely stay again. Thank you, Trish!

Our stay was amazing in every way! The farmhouse is quintessential New England in a very private setting with more than enough room for 10 people! The home is perfectly appointed and immaculately clean. We stayed for 6 nights and I can't think of anything that we needed that wasn't at our fingertips in one of the many cupboards and pantries.
Our host, Trish, was very friendly and eager to make our stay a wonderful experience. Everyone agreed that we would book again for our next reunion. I could go on but you will need to book the Yankee doodle farmhouse to understand. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful farmhouse.

Destination wedding
We have never rented a vacation home before, and we are thrilled that we did. This home is BEAUTIFUL. The place was
clean, well stocked and decorated so lovely. The grounds were well taken care of and full of nature. Trish the host was easy to contact and quick to respond. We come up to Connecticut often and would rent this home again in a heartbeat. All of us staying there give this place a 10 out of 10.

We were in CT for a wedding, several adults throughout the 5 days we booked, and 4 dogs. We couldn’t ask for a better place to stay: the location was beautiful, secluded and private yet only a 15 min drive from downtown Mystic, the house had literally everything you could ever need; it’s obviously stocked as a house you live in, not a rental, and it is also decorated as such, with beautiful pieces of art collected by the owners during their travels. The house is gorgeous, with a huge center fireplace and an abundance of rooms and spaces to relax, which was absolutely perfect for a group of adults who had the space to spread and isolate to relax in a living room or a den. There is absolutely nothing I’d change to this property, we kept repeating daily how incredible it was, and our dogs were so happy to be able to run around the yard! Thanks Trish for the very generous welcome basket, and the warm welcome. We highly recommend this property, you simply can’t go wrong with it!

We had a wonderful, laid-back family weekend at this gorgeous farmhouse! The house was beautifully decorated (as seen in the pictures) and was very clean, spacious, and well stocked with all the essentials. Our group of 7 (5 adults and 2 children) had space to spread out and also come together. The yard is also well-maintained and we enjoyed s'mores at the fire pit. It's in a central location, close to Stonington and Mystic. Trish and Bill were wonderful and very easy to get in touch with during our stay. We highly recommend this property and hope to return someday in the future!

We had an absolutely great time at the house. My wife, 2 children, mother in law and aunt stayed at the property with our 12 year old Springerdoodle pup. The property was very clean, the best stocked of any house we have ever rented at, and was comfy. This was our first VRBO rental that wasn’t cancelled for some circumstance or another. Trish was responsive to texts and phone calls and I couldn’t ask for a better host. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful house with lots of amenities
My family and my sister's family really enjoyed this large house that had everything we needed, from kitchen supplies to paper products and a nice welcome basket with coffee as well as fun stuff like a fancy fire pit, basketball hoop, and a drivable toddler tractor my son loved. Trish was so helpful and very responsive when the air conditioner needed maintenance, made sure my family was comfortable and ensured the AC was fixed that night. We really enjoyed our stay.

Fun stay at the Yankee Doodle Farm
We enjoyed our stay at the Yankee Doodle Farm. The house is huge, very clean and extremely interesting. The house has art and artifacts from all over the world to explore. It is well maintained and surprisingly modernized, given it’s age. We found it very comfortable. The location, while not in town, has easy access to museums, restaurants, shops and beaches. We all loved the area and the house.

We stayed at the Yankee Doodle Farmhouse for a family vacation and reunion. 9 adults and one cat stayed here and we loved everything about it. The beaches are a short drive 25 minute drive away and yet the house is so secluded and quiet you can completely forget that you’re in the middle of a major tourist hub! Lovely spots for sitting together both inside and out, grilling, bonfire and a large yard to set up our badminton net that we brought. Trish was wonderfully helpful and friendly and we could not have asked for a better experience!!
