Everything was just as described and pictured. Place is beautiful. Joyce, the host, was very helpful and nice.
We really enjoyed our stay. It's a cute 1-bedroom apartment attached to the main house. Very homey feel. Kitchen is fairly well-stocked in terms of equipment and spices. Lots of towels and sheets. Comfortable bed.
Great experience! Owners provided every need and then some! I highly reccommend this property.
Comfortable in-law quarters with everything you need to relax, cook, or get away from town. Great place for our big dog to play in the yard. We had a great 5 day stay.
Love the place - feels like home . Will definitely use again !!!
Very comfortable, perfect location.
The place was beautiful - just as listed BUT checking in was a bit of a fiasco. We realized on the way there we hadn’t received our email with the check in process- key code for the lock etc. when I reached out to the owner for the info - over an hour went by with no response - so we figured we’d just drive there - the listing said the owners live there - the rental is an apartment off the big house - so we get there and the place is dark - no one was home. So we drove back to town and called VRBO customer service and after about a half an hour- she was able to get through to the owner and have the email sent. I understand things like this happen but when we got back to the house - someone else was getting home - I’m assuming the owner and he didn’t even greet us or say anything about the delay in getting in. The next day we saw a woman raking- again assuming it was the owner and she said nothing about the late check in. We tried not to let all of that interfere with our opinion of the place but then came the noise from the main house through the bedroom door. It was the door that connects the apartment to the main house. Someone was hammering - seriously- from like 8 to 9:30 pm! So overall we loved the space, enjoyed our time with each other, ran each day on a beautiful path within walking distance to the house but not sure I’d stay again unless they have that door somehow sound proofed. Sorry to be a complainer but you pay a lot to stay somewhere nice - peace and quiet should be first priority!
We liked this property alot and would recommend it. It was super clean, spacious with kitchen, dining area, and living room, and separate bedroom. Seemed to be a well-equipped in-law apartment, attached to the main house. It was roomy and comfortable, in a nice quiet secluded neighborhood, but easy to get to Mystic, Westerly, etc. A couple of nice wineries close by, too. Overall, a perfect base camp for day trips in the area, then comfortable to relax at the end of the day. We met the hosts when we arrived, they were very friendly and helpful in suggesting area attractions, restaurants, etc.
The bungalow was the perfect amount of space for use. We stayed for a week, and it really felt like home. Affordable and comfortable, with all the necessities. Our dog was welcome too, which was great bc we didn't want to leave him on a long trip. Our hosts were friendly and nice. We enjoyed how close this home was to all the great attractions (Mystic and Casinos). We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to any friends traveling to Mystic.
We enjoyed staying at this cozy cottage with all the comforts of home.
We enjoyed so much about this spot. The lodging was comfortable and the setting ideal. Beautiful gardens and stone walls make this peaceful spot ideal. Our only glitch was finding after. we departed that the owner was surprised that we brought our pet. We can only surmise that somewhere between Vrbo and Red Awning the request was dropped. We felt horrible that the host did not know in advance . We spoke with her during our stay and it was not brought up. We pride ourselves on being good guests.
We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the space and the ammenities provided. Nicely located near hiking trails and within 10 minutes drive to practically everything at Mystic. We highly recommend this property!
