This cottage is charming and perfect for a small family or a couple. The water view is wonderful and offers tons of opportunities to view ducks and geese, as well as people driving by in their boats. There are cute chipmunks galore and a local owl that loves to serenade you at night âș The owners are very nice and super responsive and, though they live on the grounds in the main, larger house, they are hardly noticeable most of the time. The living room and dining room get tons of natural light and the place warms up quickly in the evenings when you need the heat on. Mystic CT is only 10 mins away, so there are many great restaurants and cute shops nearby, and we enjoyed the convenience of having a washer and dryer, wifi, and flat screen TV in the home. Just two small things that could be improved. The floors and the windowsills could be cleaner (there were tufts of dog hair behind the couch and lots of dust in the wells of the windows) and it would go along way if the towels and washcloths were replaced with new ones. The current ones have seen better days. Oh â and just know that the refrigerator is a bit small and the kitchen is too with not much counter space so you might have to make a few trips to the grocery store and take turns in the kitchen if there are more than two of you staying at the place.
But those items are very, very minor and didn't bother us given the terrific location, comforting home, and super owners. We had a lovely, relaxing stay and would go back in a heartbeat!
