Charming Cottage

The Hemingway House was perfect for our visit to Mystic for the Wooden boat show. The cottage was clean and airy, perfect for a weekend stay. Within walking distance to shops, restaurants, hiking trail and seaport. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Lovely space great location

The room was clean, spacious, bright and beautifully decorated. The hosts were very attentive and responsive. I would definitely recommend staying here. We had planned to walk or bike to town which seemed very doable but it was unseasonably cold so we drove. Everything of interest was close by and easily accessible.

Perfect Get Away

Caitlin and Chris’ place is cozy, tranquil and situated in beautiful area. You can easily walk into town or drive to other great locations such as Stonnington, Westerly and Newport. This was our third or fourth time staying with them and have never been disappointed. It is so nice to stay during the off season. We look forward to staying here in the spring. I highly recommend this place.

Weekend Stay

Husband and I stayed for the weekend. Amazing spot. So clean, cozy and cute. Felt like staying at a little beach cottage. The area is BEAUTIFUL. You can see the water from the property. It's quiet but also super close to all the best places to eat and fun little shops. We even walked to dinner at S&P Oyster one night. Close to many things. Only took us about 15 mins to get to Foxwoods Casino. Hosts were great and responsive. 10/10 would recommend.

Hemingway Retreat

We highly recommend Hemingway Retreat and we will definitely be staying here again. The cottage is clean, cosy, comfortable and has a nice ambiance. Caitlin has provided some snacks, sodas and water as well as a Keuring coffee maker and a variety of coffee. The property is quiet and is only a short walk to town, (sidewalks all of the way) which during the busy season alleviates trying to find parking. Walking at night felt very safe. Caitlin and Chris met us upon our arrival and were helpful with suggestions for places to eat. Thank you. Kathleen and Dean
