3-bedroom vacation home just a 5-min walk to Main Street, Mystic

*PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE OVERVIEW & DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING!

The Iconic Dutch Bell is a historic home built in 1906 to be the waiting room and ticket sales for the Trolley riders when Randall's Wharf was the Trolley barn. Completely renovated and updated in 2021, this property offers the ultimate standard in downtown living with privacy and sophistication and the vibrant pulse of Mystic just steps away.

Mystic's beautiful coastline is where you can find your ideal getaway spot at this lovely three-bedroom retreat. Situated less than a 5-min walk to Main Street, Mystic (Drawbridge, Ice Cream) and steps away from some of the regions most renowned restaurants, bakeries and nightlife, you'll be immersed in the rich maritime history and quaint New England atmosphere.

Keep connected with the free WiFi, and enjoy the convenience of a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, grill, and all the necessary appliances and utensils to prepare delicious meals.

When it's time to explore, venture just an 8-minute drive to the Seaport, a 19-minute drive to the Foxwoods Resort Casino or a 24-minute drive to the Mohegan Sun Casino for exciting entertainment, gaming or award-winning golf courses. Back at the property, keep the little ones entertained with the selection of games and books, or take advantage of the provided baby gate and travel crib for a stress-free family vacation.

Each room is equipped with smart TV's and Amazon Alexa/Echo's so you can check on the weather or play sleep sounds or white noise. Out back, we've created a new, bluestone private patio nestled in the trees for al fresco dining. Off the front you will find a side deck for grilling and a beautifully landscaped area with a year-round fire pit for seating, relaxing and people-watching!

Please note : Due to the proximity to local restaurants, eateries and bars, there may be residual noise/music durning nicer weather. If you are experiencing louder than average noise please notify us via cell. There is a noise ordinance for downtown Mystic on weekends and we can help alleviate it quickly. We have a ring doorbell installed on the rear entrance which is video enabled when guests arrive or depart. We use this feature only in the event of an incident and they are deleted every 30 days. If you have a concern please let us know in advance.

Our stay at the Dutch Bell was nothing short of amazing! The house is beautiful and well appointed. The location to the water and downtown could be any better.

3 Sisters Birthday Getaway

The Dutch Bell House is beautiful. Lovely decor, amazing detail in the renovation! We truly enjoyed all the comforts and so close to downtown! Left the car there! Did hear a few late night revelers as they walked by, but it was quick. Kitchen was well equipped and we would definitely visit again.

Beautiful stay in the heart of Mystic

Very tasteful and well appointed unit within easy walking distance of everything Mystic has to offer. The location was fantastic, just step out the door and you are in the middle of everything. The combination of beds and bedrooms worked perfectly for five adult family members traveling together. The house was fully stocked with everything that we needed, the host was communicative but not intrusive. Would 100% recommend as a place to stay for a lovely visit in Mystic!

Beautiful house close to town

My family had a great week long stay in the dutch bell! In one direction we were able to walk into town, and in the other direction we took quieter waterfront walks through a charming marina. There was a lot to love about the house but highlights were the convenient parking and a bathroom for every bedroom. Hope to return! Thank you, Jon!

Girlfriend’s getaway

Three women friends on our annual summer getaway. We were very pleased with the beautiful house. It’s was very clean and well appointed. We didn’t need to bring anything other than our clothes and food. There is a bar next door with an outdoor patio. No loud music but we could hear people talking.

Return to Mystic and Dutch Bell

This is our second stay at the Dutch Bell, and we really enjoyed coming back. The house is beautiful (looks as nice as the pictures), and everything Mystic is walkable! For awareness, the house is next to a restaurant/bar, so it can get a bit noisy at closing time, but it obviously wasn’t bad enough to prevent us from returning (and would do so again). Jon and team were great hosts, and the communication was fantastic - can’t say enough good things.

Husband's 60th Birthday trip

We had a great stay. The house in beautiful and very clean. Beds are all comfy and bedding top notch! Owners were very pleasant to text with and responsive. The location is great. Only issue may be with some who go to bed early as the bar next door is a little noisy up until midnight. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!

Great Host and Good Location

The host was great. Communication with host was friendly and he got back to me quickly with reply to questions. The house was cozy with the fireplace in living room. Very comfortable for 5 adult women. The location was good with shops and restaurants nearby. The only thing that we encountered was the loud music coming from restaurant next door on Saturday and Sunday night.

Friends and Family

Great location, clean and perfectly suited to our group with 3 bedrooms and baths for each. Visited for an event at USCGA which is a short drive away and comfortably hosted friends from school and our family from west coast. The younger generation could walk to fun places close by while we stayed in and enjoyed the cozy fire in living room. Great breakfast at popover. Hosts were communicative and super and everything was great!
