Holiday getaway

We just wanted to get away as a family for a few days and this did not disappoint! Our stay was comfortable, clean and cozy. From the minute we arrived, we felt relaxed and welcome. Debbie was very attentive to detail whether it was the music playing upon arrival or the apple pie slices and cookies Highly recommend!

A little piece of Americana

Every year, we give our children a Christmas adventure. This year, our accommodations were part of the adventure and my children loved every minute. In fact, they were begging to "go back home" whenever we were out seeing the attractions. We can't wait to return.

Exceptional Stay

Our family spent New Year’s Eve at Smith Cottage and enjoyed every second of our stay. Pulling into the driveway and seeing the wonderful front porch and the warm inviting light emanating from within the cottage gave each of us a smile. The decor is exquisite Americana, complete with giant blacksmith bellows and myriad nautical delights. A true slice of deliciously curated heaven. And the cherry on top: Debbie is an absolutely fantastic host! She made us feel welcome from booking throughout the duration of our stay. We look forward to returning soon!Note the loft steps up to the second bedroom are rather steep, though our 4 year old managed them just fine.

We were so pleasantly surprised at how relaxing this vrbo was. It was on a main street but very very quiet. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Just what we needed, a wonderful place to stay and sleep. Thanks to Debbie and Paul

Storybook stay

Enchanting week staying at the Smith Cottage with my partner and canine old boy. Immaculate is an understatement for the cottage-it was beautiful, cozy and it is mind-boggling to me just how attentive, intuitive and thoughtful our host Debbie is. I cannot wait to return next September. Everything both inside and outside this property was great, including the beautiful fire pit under the harvest moon at night. Thank you Debbie, for a much needed wonderful stay.

Hands down the best experience

The communication with the property manager was above reproach. The Apple pie was amazing. The bed and pillow quality was excellent, haven't slept that good in a long time. Look forward to staying there again in the spring..

Warmth and charm abound

This was just a remarkable experience. The center of all is the caring of the proprietor whose goal is to create a magical stay for the guests. Greeted by an incredible apple pie and delightful personalized notes on small blackboards throughout the cottage, there is a sense of visiting family. Debbie is ready to help in anyway possible and we got great joy in sharing pictures of our family outings. The cottage itself is beyond well equipped: from coffee, honey and spices to picnic baskets and beach towels to name a few. I was especially taken for all the activists for children. Even though we were traveling with teenage girls, they were tickled by the toys and games. They also loved sleeping up in a loft, away from pesky grandparents where they could chat at great length!! We enjoyed exploring all the historical memorabilia that had obviously been so loving ly collected. In our 60 years on the road, I cannot recall any place with such a combination of warm hospitality and charm. Thank you.

The Perfect Host

I was trying to book a hotel in Mystic for the Columbus Day weekend. There were no vacancies in the preferred hotels. So I started looking for a house to rent. I found this cottage and was relieved they had an opening. The pictures were very unique as it was decorated in a very patriotic setting with lots of flags and a unique New England charm. When we walked in, we very touched to see that Debbie, the host, had left us a hand written card welcoming us. She also wrote us personal messages on her little blackboards. If that wasn’t enough, she had left us a homemade apple pie on the kitchen table. The house itself was adorable, spotless and very comfortable. The bedding and towels were top quality and there were even things in the bathroom like razors, Qtips, cotton balls, toothpaste and toothbrushes. There was also a washer and dryer which is always a plus. Debbie was also very easy to get in touch with and she wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was conveniently located near the aquarium and Olde Mystic Village which was great. If I could give this property more than five stars I would and I rate it A++! Thank you for everything!

Charming Stay in Mystic

The cottage was absolutely adorable, filled with nautical antiques and cozy fabrics and furniture. The kitchen was appointed with everything we could need, including plenty of coffee. The owner is attentive and thorough. We were able to easily access Mystic attractions and nearby hiking areas. The cottage was very clean and welcoming, with lights on and music when we arrived. Note that there are two sleeping areas, but they are not walled-in bedrooms, so light and sound travels between the sleeping areas. Our kids loved sharing the loft space and there were books and toys for them to use. We absolutely loved this cottage and our stay in Mystic, highly recommended.
