Gorge is super nice and accommodating. The house was very spacious and over looked the water. We also got to experience the navy play the national anthem every morning. You will need a car to drive to things as it’s not close to much . Overall nice stay.

Quick weekend stay with friends and family for the Christmas craft fair at Mohegan. Beautiful location on the Thames. Right next to the Naval base, but very quiet - except for the 8 a.m. Star Spangled Banner ( loved it!). Very comfy and roomy. Beds were fair. Loved the pool table. Wish the weather was a tad better to be able to hang out on the porch looking out at the river. If in the area, will definitely stay again!

George was a great guy, and very accomodating. The house was nice and clean, good location. We seen the Submarine go by, that was cool! We went in October weather was good and we stayed 10 days. And we are going another 10 days in April 2026. This is a hidden GEM!. You won't be sorry, trust us if we are staying for another 10 days. We played pool and relaxed and we went to see the Nautillus. Everything is close by.You won't be sorry. This is the place to stay for relaxing, peacful, and fun. And our dog Bella the Hotdog loved it too. She wants to go back, that is why we are returning.

The house is absolutely beautiful! The deck overlooking the river took everyone’s breath away. It was a perfect stay. Lots of room in the house. Clean and cozy. 15 minutes from Mohegan Sun. There’s not a lot of condiments to cook/eat with which is totally fine, really just a heads up to bring your own pepper, ketchup, etc. We would 10/10 recommend this place.

Coast Guard Academy Family

Nine of us met here to spend some quality time with our granddaughter before her first day at the Coast Guard Academy. It was very relaxing but also very close for a day trip to Boston. We also enjoyed the town of Mystic. The house accommodated us. One child did sleep on an air mattress. The bedroom connected to the upstairs bathroom and master bedroom was a little awkward but not to many places have the number of beds we needed. We made it work for us.

Lovely riverside holiday!

Our family of 5 adults and 2 kids (3 & 6 yrs) had a wonderful stay over the Christmas week. The home is amazing - lots of windows looking out on the Thames River, 4 bedrooms as described, a well equipped kitchen, and a very large and comfortable open concept dining area & family room. The views are stunning, and the occasional train or boat going by was always fun to watch. There's also lots to explore in the area including a submarine museum in walking distance, and lots of amenities & restaurants within minutes by car. George was easy to communicate with and very helpful. The entry & exit procedures were easy and automatic. We would definitely recommend this VRBO home!
