Nice stay

For an older home we found it simple and functional.We loved the big fridge because we were travelling with food and wanted to keep things cool. The bed was very good but the pull out sofa bed was not at all comfortable which was unfortunate.Overall a nice place to stay for two poeple sharing the bed.

Lovely perch

Excellent location, peaceful porch swing, tidy home, nice shower. Everything we needed for a short stay to explore the area. Host was responsive and kind! Note the sofa bed for extra guest is a very typical sofa bed in terms of comfort. Living room has less privacy, does have blackout window curtains, one open door to kitchen, door between living room and bedroom is sliding style with gaps. Parking was easy. Would stay again!

Sweet apartment in lovely neighborhood!

We had a lovely stay and felt very welcomed by Dorothy! I had an issue unlocking the door and she came over immediately to help. The apartment was spotless and cozy with views of her lovely gardens, located in a beautiful residential neighborhood. Very pleasant to walk from there to the marina where our boat was docked. We will be back next year!

Home away from Home

I returned to Stonington to visit friends, celebrate my Birthday, and check in with my medical team in Westerly. Dorothy's place was perfect in all regards ... convenient, clean, easy in, easy out, although modest, it reflects an old New England home, warm, friendly, and open. NOT extravagant, ostentatious, not over the top, but rather welcoming. AND Dorothy is the BEST neighbor you could want while traveling. Available, Friendly, Accommodating ... just a super person!

A great place to stay for The HMF Mystic Half Marathon & 10K

We stayed at this house for the weekend and found that it had the bare essentials we needed for a short stay—nothing fancy, but it got the job done. The owner let us extend our checkout and the hot water was excellent—long, hot showers were a big plus, especially after running a half marathon! What really stood out was the owner’s communication—responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay.

Perfect location!

My husband and I had the best time for a long weekend at Dorothy's property. The very specific charm to the area was very apparent in this cottage! Even the bathroom was just adorable with the floral tile! It was very clean and the perfect size for us (could easily accommodate more than 2 with the pull out sofa). Minutes away from Stonington and Mystic, there is so much to do. We will definitely be back! I already miss hearing all the birds while sitting on the back porch swing.

Last day of honeymoon

When we arrived, the VRBO app stopped working and I could not review the check-in/check-out procedure, so I'm not sure if the instructions were there or not, but I could not figure out how to get into the house. There are several door options. Dorothy was out of town for the weekend and provided a secondary contact. I called the contact 4x and left voicemails, but no response. Then, we found the lockbox and were able to access the house. The contact finally did call me back. Once inside, the home was cute. There were several crawlies inside, mostly spiders. That didn't bother us, though. We just relocated them. We played a game and went to bed. The overall stay was nice once we figured it all out.
