We loved our stay. The house was in the perfect location, in a quiet neighborhood. We were worried about being near a busy road, but with the fenced in back yard it was not bad at all! We loved the central location and looked walking on the local boardwalk (most every night after our daily adventures in Mystic). The host was great, super responsive and was just overall great to work about our dog joining our trip!

The cozy cottage was great and just what we needed for a quick getaway! Check in & out was easy; everything was perfectly clean. The only suggestion is maybe having suggestions for restaurants/beaches/things to do nearby would be really helpful! But overall enjoyed the house and would definitely stay again if we're in the area!

Erin’s house was clean, organized, and cozy. This small house met our needs for a long weekend getaway. She provided amenities well beyond what was expected- fluffy bath towels, soft sheets, fast WiFi, powerful AC units, and basic bath products. Her home is a short drive to a number of state parks for daily beach trips and within walking distance to a couple of decent restaurants. Erin quickly responded to messages and provided clear instructions on access the house for check-in. Great experience overall!

The property was amazing. The house was very clean and the game room was really fun. It was a very cute place and the backyard was perfect for sitting outside in the afternoon. The beds were really soft and comfortable as well.

It was a lovely home, just a bit busy street close to house front with loud cars and motorcycles. But Erin the nice host let me know about the street being busy at times. It was a nice little home and we had a good stay. Would recommend it to friends.

Lovely weekend getaway
My friends and I had a great weekend here. The property is accurately described as listed. It was just enough space for a weekend. There were 3 of us. We used the fold down couch as the 3rd bed which was a good bed. Communication with the host was excellent. The property inside and out was great. We sat outside in the backyard for a while. The walk over the bridge to the Niantic boardwalk wasn’t too long when the weather is good. And we sat outside at Fat Tuna which was within walking distance which was a nice place to grab some drinks and food. Would definitely recommend.
