The Captain’s & School House, Historic Mystic Riverfront Home

Step into history at The Captain’s House & School House, a 4-bedroom, 3-bath waterfront home on the Mystic River. Built in 1818 by Captain George Wolfe, this restored property honors its maritime roots with elegant décor and modern comfort. The Captain’s House features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a gourmet kitchen, while the attached School House Cottage offers a separate 1-bedroom suite with kitchen and family room. Relax on two riverfront patios with views of the Mystic Drawbridge and Seaport Shipyard, or stroll two blocks to Downtown Mystic for dining and shopping. Ideal for families, groups, or anyone seeking an authentic New England waterfront escape.

Guests enjoy full, private access to the entire property, including the Captain’s House, School House Cottage, both riverfront patios, two BBQ grills, and outdoor dining areas. Free parking and self-check-in available.
The most important House Rule is, respect our neighbors and community. Mystic is a quaint, coastal New England town. As hosts, and guests, we share in the responsibility of keeping Mystic a great place to visit, and to LIVE. Honor the noise ordinance. Be the guest that you would want staying in a vacation rental near your home.
