    The property was clean and meticulously maintained. When it snowed, the service was there to shovel before we got out of bed. It's a quirky house, thanks to the age, but it's so cozy. And you cannot beat the location. We enjoyed it so much!

    We had a wonderful stay and the location was perfect! This was our first time in Mystic, CT and we will definitely be back. The walk to the shops area was less than 3 minutes. The Captain's House is charming and has a lot of history.Our arrival instructions were spot on and very easy. Gerard is a wonderful host and very responsive to all our needs. The house has all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay!

    Incredible in every way. Ideal location, beautiful view and the perfect combination of historic charm and modern convenience. Gerard was available though we never needed a thing. The early check-in and late check-out gave us lots of time for strolling the waterfront and shops. We absolutely hope to be back!

    We had an excellent stay at the Captain’s House. It was comfortable, well-appointed and exceptionally clean. We loved sitting on the patio and enjoyed our view of the Mystic River. It was great to walk easily to nearby restaurants and cafes. Gerard was an attentive and helpful hist. I highly recommend!

Lovely first floor queen bedroom with attached full bath. This is a water view, historic home with New England charm. I hope to return some day!

    First, what a great location to everything. But most importantly what a great house! Came here for my bestie's 40th and she absolutely loves old houses. The house alone made her birthday. Then the host is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for letting us stay, Gerard! We will definitely book this house any time we come to Mystic.

    This is the third time we have stayed here and it continues to be the best place to stay in Mystic. Its location to all the shops as well as the attractions is perfect. The view right on the water is nice and relaxing and just what a family needs to recharge from the craziness of life!! Gerard could not have been any more perfect. Thank you so much for an incredible stay.!

    Not only perfect location, but perfect in every way. Second time at this location, but once again it checks all the boxes. Gerard was always available for questions, not that we had many as the house was fully equipped to suit all our needs and instruction manual was precise. Large rooms ,pristine environment with beautiful kitchen, fully stocked . We were fortunate to have amazing weather so the beautiful outdoor seating area provided many afternoons enjoying the sunshine and views of the water. The close proximity to most shops and restaurants left us doing little driving. Looking forward to our return visit

    We had a great stay and was helpful with early check in for naps after mystic aquarium. Had air mattress and darkening windows in upstairs room. Also found high chair, gates for the room / stairs, lots of books and even some paw patrol toys. Walking distance to shops and playground across bridge and great view when it goes up and down. Had short stay but definitely plan to visit again.

    The Captains House is such a perfect location - beautiful water views and walking distance to everything! The house is very clean and very well maintained. The kayaks and bikes are a great amenity as well, although unfortunately it was raining during our stay so we didn’t use them. We would love to stay again!

    The Captain George Wolfe House in Mystic, CT, is the kind of vacation rental that will make you homesick for a place you’ve never been. My wife Linda and I lived across the river for 17 years. Our recent stay gave us one more chance to explore the old grooves of our lives with friends and family. The George Wolfe house is the perfect place for that. Only a block from Main Street shops, restaurants and the historic Mystic bridge. Its own history does not extend to the plumbing. The home has been lovingly restored. All the appliances are modern. Central air. Comfortable rooms. Take it from me. I’ve been in more hotel rooms than the Gideon Bible. This place is extraordinary.
