Great place, great host
The place was immaculate - cleaner that just about any hotel I've ever been in. Host was attentive - When I had issues with the door she texted me immediately and sorted it out. Then when she heard we were going to grill, she sent over two extra tanks of propane. Check out couldn't have been easier.

Excellent stay
We had a great stay at Hope’s home! Hope was beyond friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, going out of her way to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The house was very nice and comfortable and easily accommodated our group of 6 adults and 5 children. The house is on a busy road but has tons of parking and is set far enough back that it wasn’t a problem. We plan to return for a future trip!

Such a great place!
Myself and 7 friends stayed for a night to celebrate a girls weekend in Mystic and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place. Hope was so communicative the entire time and got back to me quickly if I had a question. We loved that it was only a 7 min drive from Downtown Mystic. Everything was clean. The house its self is super cool with the stained glass windows throughout. I wish we stayed in a warmer month so that we could’ve enjoyed the beautiful deck that was there. Just we’ll just have to come back and we gladly would! Thanks again Hope!

Great house for a family reunion
Through COVID it had been 3.5 years until we were able to hook up with my brother's family again. We enjoyed 3 nights at the house and loved exploring the area - the house has everything you need, including all the beach chair and umbrellas you may need for a trip to one of the beaches nearby. Hope was very helpful and provided a long welcome mail with lots of tips for activities. Highly recommended!

Beautiful house, views, and amazing host!
The house is really pretty with great lighting and beautiful stained glass windows. The beds are all King-sized with very comfortable mattresses. There is plenty of room to gather as a group or spread out into either a big living room, a TV/Game room, a sunny dining room, or on the deck in the warmer months. The location is perfectly close to anything in Mystic and Groton. Hope, the host, is the most thoughtful, responsive, and dedicated host. She has thought of everything a group could possibly need, including condiments, saran wrap, napkins, toilet paper, dishwasher, high chairs, baby gates...the list goes on. We had such a nice time!

Oh my gosh, truly the best place we've ever experienced! GORGEOUS place, exactly as described! Hope our host was fantastic -- great communication, responsive! Such nice little touches, like coffee, mouthwash & other toiletries! TV's with cable in every bedroom was very nice after a long day, too. Such a neat place, too! Was a perfect spot for a belated Christmas celebration with my older kids, who live in that general area. Thank you so much, Hope! Will probably be back again next year to do the same thing! :)
