What a great place, beautiful, spotless and close to everything we want to do. thanks Hope!

Our family felt very comfortable and well cared for in Hope’s place. I’ve never stayed in a Airbnb that had king sized and incredibly comfortable beds in all four rooms! Lots of gathering spaces gave us plenty of room to chill together or have some quiet time alone. The kitchen was fully stocked and everything was squeaky clean. Minutes to Mystic and stores. Highly recommend!
