This place was more beautiful than the pictures show, the stained glass windows everywhere are gorgeous when the sun is shining, it was super easy to find and a short drive to foxwoods where you get 1 room for the price of this whole house, everyone with me all said if they were in the area again they'd all try and stay there again, and Hope was a great host making sure we knew everything we needed to know well in advance with crystal clear instructions for everything!

I have stayed at many Air Bnb's but this one stood out as one of the best - very comfortable beds, extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need, well organized binder with tons of information.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay here. The house is exactly as described and even better in person. It’s spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable for a group. Having four king bedrooms made a huge difference and everyone slept great. The layout of the home is perfect. There are multiple living spaces, high ceilings in the main living room, and the stained glass windows add a really unique character to the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook, and the dining areas were great for gathering together. We also loved the outdoor patio and deck. It’s a peaceful setting surrounded by woods with plenty of seating and space to relax. The location is excellent. It’s close to Mystic, the beaches, Bluff Point, and lots of great restaurants while still feeling quiet and private. Parking was easy and there was plenty of space for multiple cars. Hope was a wonderful host and very responsive anytime we had a question. Thanks for a great stay!

We were 2 families traveling to CT for a Coast Guard Lacrosse game weekend. We wanted a nice, ample space and close proximity to the Academy. Hope's place was perfection. 2 bedrooms and bath upstairs, 2 bedrooms and bath downstairs = great arrangement for 2 families. 12 minutes from the Academy; 9 minutes from downtown Mystic; thoughtful, plentiful spaces for eating, sleeping, hanging out; fully stocked kitchen (we love to cook); cornhole boards for when the sun came out; Nintendo Wii was a big hit lol; ample towels and blankets; I mean this list could go on and on. ALL the comforts of home and then some. The house is across the street from a large high school & middle school campus - we had our dog with us, and this ended up being the perfect place to run around with him without the worry of traffic. We travel a lot, and this is one our favorite places we've stayed at!

Hope's air bnb was probably one of the nicest my family and I have come across. The home was absolutely beautiful - it was large and spacious with gorgeous decor. There were games for the kids, even a Wii they enjoyed playing! We stayed her as a quick visit as my daughter was in a local broadway competition down the street. Hope offered so many suggestions to nearby things to do, restaurants and help clear instructions on everything. She was a great , responsive, proactive host. We will definitely be back to enjoy this area further. Thank you Hope!!

My group of friends and I were here for just one night but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was great for a big group - very spacious, had 2 living rooms and large comfortable beds. The kitchen had everything we needed for food preparation. Hope was a friendly, responsive host who gave clear instructions and helpful recommendations. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
