Jamestown Family-friendly Cozy Cottage in town
Great house for our girls weekend. Jamestown is so cute and we decided to eat out for the weekend but the kitchen was stocked if we’re to stay in. SteveO is a great host and great communicator. The hot tub was perfect. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Luxury cottage by the sea with hot tub and pool
My friend and I stayed here for a quick two-night getaway and had a great experience. The space is quiet, cozy, and super well taken care of. The view of the water from the living area is beautiful, and we spent both mornings sitting outside with coffee, and afternoons enjoying the view from the hot tub. We appreciated that the kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking equipment we needed for nights in—and that Mary had a whole list of spots to check out for adventures out (local shops, antique spots, and really solid lobster rolls!) If you’re looking for a low-key, clean, calm place to relax, recharge, and still have easy access to town, this is a great pick. We’d absolutely come back.

Lakeside cottage with beautiful views up the lake!
We always love going to this cottage. It’s our favorite. It’s actually one of our favorite places. To go a few times a year winter summer. We just spent memorial weekend there. A little doggies loved it. Home away from home so cozy. Bobby the host is wonderful. My daughter boyfriend came up and they absolutely loved it and my son came from Texas to spend one night. It was his first time there he loved it. We already planning on going back. Fantastic getaway. If you need to distress and want calmness. This is the place to come to. And the town of Mystic has great restaurants Like I said it’s our favorite place to come to and I’ve been to quite a few…. Just got home today and I’m seeing if I can book some sometime in October to go back we love it.

Lake Beseck cottage
We loved our stay here. It was the perfect place for two of us and our dog. The home was just as described, welcoming, cosy and well equipped, and we appreciated all the local recommendations. We enjoyed local walks, the lake, and the great dog park, as well as easy access to Middletown to visit our son. Elisabeth and Daniel were fantastic hosts!

Mystic, CT Pet-Friendly Cottage with Hiking Trails
My sister, dog and I stayed at the cottage for the weekend and had a great experience! Erika is a wonderful host and the property is beautiful. The cottage itself was exactly as pictured. Breakfast in the inn, cooked with natural and organic ingredients, is an absolute must. The location of the inn is great as well, with direct access to the Lantern Hill trail (which our dog loved) and only a short drive from downtown. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Charm + location. Walk to beach, town, & harbor.
Jeanne's place was perfect for my trip to Guilford. Excellent location, close to the Green and to the water, quiet, peaceful. The house had everything I needed and more, Jeanne was super responsive and kind, and the bed was comfortable.

Montauk Cottage Escape
We absolutely loved our stay at Milton & Megan's Montauk house! It was perfect for a group of 4 (2 couples) there for a 4 day trip. The house is very quiet & peaceful, with lots of outdoor space, but also very walkable to town. The house was super clean, and everything was very easy to find. The bedrooms had lots of closet space, the TV was easy to set up, and all the amenities listed on the website were accurate. We'd love to come back again and stay. Thanks!

Montauk Oceanview
My girlfriend and I had an amazing time at Ron’s Cottage, it was beautiful and incredibly peaceful, very easy to get around steps from the beach. Listening to the waves crash on the beach from the kitchen was my favorite part. 10/10 wound stay again!

Sound View Beach Cottage
Great for my Staycation The peacefulness was great love the beach not too far away from the house Lauren did a great job !

Cozy Home In Short Beach Community
Joel was a fantastic host, very friendly and informative. House was beautiful and clean. Two things I will say(that the host has no control of might I add). First it is on a Main Street, people whip by the house fast and it’s very loud. And second, if you suffer from any type of balance issues or vertigo, unfortunately several of the floors are not level and either are the stairs. This is not something the host could do anything about but unfortunately it affected me a lot as I suffer with balance issues. We truly did enjoy our stay though and if not for my balance issues then we would 100% stay at this house again!

Lakefront Cozy Oasis 2BR w/ stunning sunset views
We had a great time at the lake house. The layout was perfect for 2 couples. The lake was lovely and quiet. We enjoyed the boats and fishing. We also enjoyed a glass of wine while watching the sunset from the dock. Later there was a light show across the lake. The house is clean, comfortable and modern. Perfect place for a quiet getaway.

A Beach House Gem
Our second stay, a real gem! Called Rosemary from there with an inquiry and she got back to us immediately. Beautiful views and peaceful. Comfortable bed and a great shower. Thanks once again!

New & Beautiful Lake cottage
Daisy was absolutely perfect! The cottage is beautiful inside and out. It was wonderful to sit on the deck looking out at the lake. A relaxing place to unwind & catch up with good friends! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

The Oar Cottage (24) · walk Mystic-Train/EV Lvl-2
Everything went smoothly, and the cottage was the perfect escape for my husband, nine year old son, and myself. It was close to everything in Mystic, and it was nice to feel like we were staying in a quintessential New England costal town.

Cozy Lakefront Cottage Perfect for Families
What a beautiful view! We had a great time despite the weather. The house was very comfortable and the location right on the lake is hard to beat.

Hop Skip and a Jump to the Beach
We had 2 rainy days to start. So we huddled up in the comfy living room with the massive TV( daughter in law said biggest she has ever seen🥰) and watched current amazing movies!! Made amazing food and snacks in the culinary approved kitchen! (Sauté Chef). We spent $200 on food and ate like kings. The main bedroom also has a TV so we could watch different things! I spent many years with my family at Old Colony Beach. Amazing how many places are still there from my childhood. It was a memorable experience for myself, my son and his girl! Last day was sunny and beach bound. So peaceful ☺️ Thank you, Blessings, Dawn

Seasonal Beach Cottage
Peter's beach house was the perfect extended weekend getaway with our family. It was the first time we took a family vacation with our small children and teenager. The little kids loved the top bunk in their room and my teenager loved having a room to herself. The kitchen was perfect for our needs, the kids loved the sunroom and the living room was great with the tv for nighttime relaxing. The walk to the beach was the perfect length and the beach was clean and open. We loved every moment at the beach house and are hoping to return next year.

Bucolic Farm On A Country Road
This rental fit our needs for our stay. Plenty of room for my husband and I. The carriage house apartment was comfortable and cozy. The location and grounds provide a peaceful retreat but a short drive to shops, restaurants and the highway. Lori is a great host who made herself available for any questions or concerns. She provided breakfast treats and fresh juice...a very nice surprise. We definitely would recommend staying here and plan on coming back for another stay.

Serene Waterfront Cottage
We love it here! Our home away from home! Since we’ve moved out of Connecticut, this is the perfect place to stay when we come for a visit. Farah is the best host, and we love everything here! Especially her amazing gift basket! Bella always loves her surprises!
