The cottage is perfect!

I really enjoyed my stay at the cottage. It’s a separate little house w a fenced in outdoor area. The hosts were very responsive. It’s very clean and parking right out front. We would definitely stay there again.

Incredible place to stay

I absolutely loved this spot. I had such a great time and I actually miss it! I especially love the trails behind the inn. I had no idea that it was Pequot territory. It is really marvelous. Great to walk on. Not too hard, not too easy, tons of history, and a real sense of the sacred nature of Lantern Hill. I highly recommend.

Great stay!

We had a great stay at The Cottage - it was clean, cozy and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay near Mystic. Would love to stay here again in the future and maybe even stay in the main house next time with a larger group :) Overall I highly recommend this stay!
