"Last House on The River" was originally built in 1797; along with its many updates, it still holds many of its original features, like the warming box in the fireplace, the deep and tapered custom colonial staircase, and the stone steps that lead from the backyard down to the top of the Mystic River.

This house was nothing short of amazing!!! The history in the home was incredible and fascinating!! Home was clean and the in ground pool was a perfect touch! Owners responded super quick to any questions!! Close to all of the main attractions! We will be back again! This house is a must see!
We loved staying in this cozy, historic home! We were traveling with 4 adults and a toddler, there was plenty of room for everyone including a little playroom ideal for our pack n play. The backyard is an amazing bonus too. It’s important to know someone with even mild mobility problems may not be comfortable on the stairs, but there’s a bedroom downstairs for that. Perfect location for exploring all around the Mystic area, can’t wait to return!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The home was very quaint, and in a great location. The grounds and setting were gorgeous. We could not find a wine opener. Otherwise, the kitchen was fully stocked. Also, could not locate an iron or a hairdryer. Otherwise the accommodations were great. The location was convenient to all of the stops that we wanted to make during our trip. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only reason I didn't give it 5-stars was the check-in process. The map took us to a different part of town and a different house. After a 7-hour car ride, it was a little frustrating. That said, the stay was very relaxing, the hosts were very communicative, and the house was beautiful. We had a great time and I highly recommend this property!
We really enjoyed our time in Mystic. The house was perfect, and the backyard was Amazing!!
Absolutely pristine historic, yet fully modernized 1797 colonial, fully equipped kitchen… immaculate ! With fabulous backyard … pool, patio and river…. This home didn’t miss a beat. Although it rained for most of our stay, we enjoyed everything the area had to offer. Jena and Tony, our property managers, were on spot, attentive and thorough…. a great family get away!
The location was nice. The house is old and historic - the extra steep and stairs were tricky but that comes with the territory. The pool was nice and the backyard was cozy. The room and window unit ACs were sufficient to cool the house. Weirdly we were apparently expected to bring our own toilet paper. There was only one partially used roll in each bathroom. There were 5 women staying 2 nights in a house advertised for 6 people. Not providing sufficient toilet paper seems a little ridiculous for a home that costs $1,000 a night to rent after fees. We were also expected to water the plants on the deck which seemed strange for a Vrbo rental. Other than toilet paper and cleaner for the counters, the house was well stock. Aside from some cobwebs it was decently clean.
Beautiful property. Close to lots of interesting historical places, great restaurants and shopping. Stairs are a little steep for older people but there is a bedroom on the main floor. Pool was nice and warm. We had a little problem with bees near the pool but left a note for the owners. Would highly recommend this property!
