About this place
Come stay in the Whaler's Room at the Carriage House, located in the peaceful hamlet of Old Mystic, a short 2-mi drive to DT! In the Whaler's Welcome, with a private bath and entrance and a bay window overlooking the garden, you'll sleep soundly on a comfy queen pencil bed and double-size antique spindle bed, both dressed in lovely linens, wake up rested to a beautiful mural and cozy up to a gas fireplace on cold nights!

Treat yourselves and be our guests! You be delighted you did!

The space
We promise you will feel cared for the moment you walk through the door- from the warm welcome to a specially prepared bed- made just for you!

The Whaler's Welcome has two charming beds: a pencil-post queen and an antique spindle double/full bed. These are ideal for friends or family traveling together!

The gas fireplace fills the room with warmth- beckoning you to curl up on the chairs and read or share a glass of wine on those cold winter nights.

After time out and about (or a day spent to yourself inside:), treat yourself to a whirlpool bath (single-person tub) because you deserve it!

During your stay, you will have a mini fridge for your perishables and a Keurig for your morning cuppa.

Enjoy the bustle of downtown, but come back to the peaceful, quiet Old Mystic- a charming New England Hideaway- a true Whaler's Welcome! So what are you waiting for :-D

    Amazing property and the efforts made by Debbie and Paul to make our stay perfect were beyond our expectations! I love that the house is out of the fray, but close to everything. So easy to navigate to local points of interest, shopping, and great restaurants. The entire property is lovely and well thought out. I loved the theme of our room. They spared no expense when outfitting the room! The bed and pillows were super cozy and the linens were wonderful too. So many nice touches in the room as well. Water, coffee and tea plus a birthday card and apple pie to celebrate the reason for our visit. The room also had a beach bag and picnic basket to make it easy to enjoy the local parks and beaches without having to cart all of your things from home. The area was very safe and the room was easy to access. Debbie checked in after our arrival and answered any questions immediately. I would recommend this property to anyone...actually I already have! If I ever find myself in the area again, I will definitely stay here again!

    A most lovely accommodation! The room was decorated with whaling memorabilia and even a mural on the wall of a whaling ship. We had just visited the Mystic Maritime Museum and toured the whaling ship there. The host left wonderful doughnuts and sparkling water for us. It was very thoughtful and kind of her. We felt very welcomed.

    The room was immaculate, beautifully appointed, and many amenities were very thoughtfully offered - it felt like a stay at a luxury B&B where even the smallest conveniences were not overlooked. Our hosts were in touch with us at certain points throughout our stay to ensure that we were comfortable. The property was beautiful, well-maintained, and we felt right at home.

    Beautifully decorated linens are clean and fresh loved all the antiques. I had mentioned to the owner that we’d like a proper cup of tea and they provided a kettle for us instead of being dependent on the Keurig. thank you for accommodating us. The fresh pie was delicious and loved the recommendations that Deb provided us for the area and for antiquesIf we ever come back to the area, this will be a must stayJust as an aside, the beds are very high so if you have a problem with mobility, you may have trouble getting into them. I’m sure if we had asked Deb for a stool. She would’ve provided us with one.

    The room was beautiful, tastefully decorated with a gorgeous mural, fireplace, and linens. We appreciated the apple pie, chocolates, water and honey left for us in the room to enjoy. My kids loved the stay. We come to New England often for weekends to take a break from NYC and will definitely stay here again.
