GUIDELINES FOR BRINGING 4-LEGGED GUESTS
Dogs ONLY
2 small dogs or 1 medium dog, MAX
Our fee is $40/pet, which will be requested with your confirmed reservation.

We charge a $40.00 pet fee/pet. We hope you find this fee fair and reasonable as we take on additional responsibilities by adding furry guests to your reservation.

To ensure a smooth experience, we ask owners to bring along their dogs with the following understanding.

1. Dogs are 100% house-trained. Traveling dogs can get anxious and confused, causing accidents even for a house-trained dog.

***If your dog pees inside, this will cause a great deal of confusion for future dogs staying as they may pee on top of your dog's pee, causing upset for everyone. When arriving, please immediately introduce the yard to your dog to establish where the potty is located.***

2. Pets are well-behaved and good-natured **NO aggressive dogs allowed**
3. Pets are not left alone in the Sailor Room. Given the shared property, barking dogs will disturb other guests staying in adjacent guest rooms.
4. Owners clean up outside after their pets
5. Owners keep their pets on a leash when appropriate, as Mystic is a busy place.

Behind our property is a great field to walk your dog!

We've had wonderful experiences accommodating traveling pets! However, if your pet damages any property, we will use your security deposit to cover the cost. (though this has never happened yet:)

If you're considering bringing your dog and are fine with the pet rules/guidelines, please confirm you have read and agree to the rules in your booking message to me at the time of confirmation.

My husband and I live in Mystic, a 5-minute drive from Old Mystic. Even though you are set up for self-check-in, you may see one of us around watering plants, taking out trash bins, etc. But rest assured, we are harmless and will respect your space and privacy. If you seek answers, would like suggestions, or even meet us, we are here for you and delight in sharing this lovely little village with visitors!

    We loved this property. The room was perfect, the bed super comfortable, the shower and water pressure were great, decoration very charming, and everything exactly as advertised. Communication with Debbie was very easy and timely. The outdoor grounds were really nice, and if the weather had been better we would have spent more time there…. Next time! One thing we really appreciated was the many little, thoughtful touches that were just nice and welcoming, and set this property apart from a lot of B&B type properties we visit: For instance, we love our coffee… and it was not only well stocked, but there was a little pitcher of cream in the fridge. There was some fresh apple pie in the room (!), tons of towels, and even some charming music playing when we arrived. Definitely a good value and we would love to stay here again if we’re in the area. Can’t say enough about how nicely Debbie made this experience!

    To be honest, I was a little trepidatious about renting just a room when we usually rent a whole house, but since we wanted to take advantage of all Mystic has to offer, we went for it. I couldn’t have been happier with our choice! Debbie is the platonic ideal of a host—warm, welcoming, responsive. And the place is so thoughtfully and creatively appointed—everything you need and a delight to spend time in. Everywhere you turn there’s something to bring a smile to your face. If your travels take you to Mystic (and they should), I highly recommend staying here!

    This is the prettiest little place, so full of charm and welcome. The hosts, Debbie and Paul, we're so kind to us. As it was our birthday, we were greeted with apple pie and San Pellegrino and birthday wishes had a card. It was so thoughtful. The communication was extremely good and the accommodation was delightful, so full of love and care and special little touches in the decor. Short drive to mystic River and all the amenities there and the lovely high Street and aquarium. We'll definitely come again.

    My husband and I stumbled across this gem in our search for accommodations for a last minute road trip along the New England coast. Debbie and Paul have put much thought and consideration into every detail for a relaxing and comfortable stay for their guests from the cute, cozy, (very) clean, and well equipped rooms to the lovely decorated, relaxing lawn with plenty of seating, games and an inviting fire pit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (and the delicious homemade apple pie!) in the Salty Sailor room at the Carriage House.

    One of the nicest places that we have stayed in. Every possible comfort. Old Mystic is lovely-much quieter than the seaport. We prefer it to the port. Our dog Ripley loved the abundant green space next to the house.

    Debbie (and Paul too) are the perfect hosts. The Carriage House is conveniently located in Historic Mystic and is a home away from home. Their hospitality didn't just stop with us, but included our little pup with his own welcome basket. The property is quiet, peaceful and only a few miles from the Oldest Cider Mill in the US. The Carriage House is definitely a place that we will return to in years to come. Thank you so much

    Lots of pleasant surprises! We were impressed with the many unexpected conveniences. We were looking for a place to crash when we weren’t either at the beach in Rhode Island or dining in Mystic. Debbie did a great job outfitting the space with everything you might need for a day at the beach even a cooler! The yard had a fire pit with very comfortable deck chairs as well as cornhole game set up. Everything in the room was clean and well stocked Debbie was on point with communications and overall we were very happy with our stay.

    What an amazing stay!!! We definitely found a gem … I almost hate to give such a great review because we won’t find rooms next time!!! Debi has thought of everything - the room was outfitted with all the little touches… mugs, glasses and wine glasses are provided and she even had a terrific makeup mirror in the bathroom … the bed was sooo comfy and we enjoyed relaxing in the wing chairs at night - we were the only ones staying at the beginning of the week and we enjoyed breakfast out on the small table outside of our room… it’s located in a quiet neighborhood which we absolutely loved and it was very centrally located - we got to everything in 5 min or less … loved the keyless entry so that we didn’t have to remember to bring a key … everything was very well planned for an easy and enjoyable stay! We are already planning our next stay… thanks again Debi!!

    My partner and I booked an overnight stay at The Salty Sailor. Leading up to our visit, Debbie shared a lot of helpful info about local attractions and restaurants, in addition to thorough details about our accommodation itself. We loved the cozy, quaint feel of the space–upon stepping in for the first time, we felt instantly comfortable and at home. Everything was meticulously prepared and there was a personalized greeting card as well as slices of apple pie left out for our arrival.We had everything we needed for our stay, and would recommend it to anyone for a getaway to Mystic.

    Arrived 4 hours earlier and my communication wasn't clear as I was replying to a computer generated email and the messages didn't make it. I wanted to know what an early check in would have cost and there was reception issues but we ended up paying for a whole other day. That was the only hiccup! This place was absolutely more than advertised! This gem was quiet, a place to walk my dog who was with us for a wedding and decorated beyond words and certainly thought. The pie along with all of things that you may have forgotten and coffee, tea, fridge etc were so helpful! I have referred my friends there to send people to this charmer!
