    This is a 100 year old home that has been divided into a first floor and a second floor apartment. You stay in the first floor. The apartment consists of a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bath room. Walls are plaster, floors are hardwood with throw rugs, kitchen counter top is glazed tile. It is like stepping into a time machine that is spotless. If you want or need the cookie cutter amenities of the current chain motels/hotels this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a quiet older home with a wonderful hostess, this is it.

    My stay was quite short as I just need a place to crash for one night. This house was simple but lovely, with many of the modern conveniences in a vintage setting. The host was helpful and responsive. The place was spotless! I wish I had had more time to see the plants and trees on the property which were lovely. I would happily return and recommend the place for couples or a small family, or girls' outing.

Note the sofa bed for extra guest is a very typical sofa bed in terms of comfort. Living room has less privacy, does have blackout window curtains, one open door to kitchen, door between living room and bedroom is sliding style with gaps. Parking was easy. Would stay again!

    I returned to Stonington to visit friends, celebrate my Birthday, and check in with my medical team in Westerly. Dorothy's place was perfect in all regards ... convenient, clean, easy in, easy out, although modest, it reflects an old New England home, warm, friendly, and open. NOT extravagant, ostentatious, not over the top, but rather welcoming. AND Dorothy is the BEST neighbor you could want while traveling. Available, Friendly, Accommodating ... just a super person!

    We stayed at this house for the weekend and found that it had the bare essentials we needed for a short stay—nothing fancy, but it got the job done. The owner let us extend our checkout and the hot water was excellent—long, hot showers were a big plus, especially after running a half marathon! What really stood out was the owner’s communication—responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay.

    My husband and I had the best time for a long weekend at Dorothy's property. The very specific charm to the area was very apparent in this cottage! Even the bathroom was just adorable with the floral tile! It was very clean and the perfect size for us (could easily accommodate more than 2 with the pull out sofa). Minutes away from Stonington and Mystic, there is so much to do. We will definitely be back! I already miss hearing all the birds while sitting on the back porch swing.

    When we arrived, the VRBO app stopped working and I could not review the check-in/check-out procedure, so I'm not sure if the instructions were there or not, but I could not figure out how to get into the house. There are several door options. Dorothy was out of town for the weekend and provided a secondary contact. I called the contact 4x and left voicemails, but no response. Then, we found the lockbox and were able to access the house. The contact finally did call me back. Once inside, the home was cute. There were several crawlies inside, mostly spiders. That didn't bother us, though. We just relocated them. We played a game and went to bed. The overall stay was nice once we figured it all out.
