Had a terrific stay here May 2023! The property and entire area are beautiful. The cottage was really enjoyable, and the host thought of everything to make our stay just perfect. The location cannot be beat with so much within a really enjoyable walking area. Highly recommended for your next stay in this area! Thank you very much for a super experience!

Great location

My husband and I stayed at the Hemingway House for a weekend getaway. The place is immaculately clean and well equipped. The bed could be more comfortable, but it did the job. The hosts were very friendly and respectful of our privacy. The location was perfect. Just a short, lovely walk to downtown Mystic.

Perfect Place to Get Away

The sweetest little cottage tucked away from the busy shops! Hubby and I had a weekend of events to attend including a wedding and even though the space is studio style, we had enough room to spread out and get ready without tripping over each other. It's quiet and cozy, the perfect place to recharge!

Our Stay at Hemingway

We had a lovely 2 day stay at The Hemingway Cottage. It was wonderful..... so quaint and classy at the same time. Caitlyn and Chris were so accommodating and went out of their way with anything that we needed. Just wish we could have stayed longer! We would love to visit again in the future and would highly recommend.

Perfect Get Away

The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions. The location and quaintness of their listing was fantastic! I would highly recommend anyone to stay at this rental. I do not know how four people would actually fit. My daughter and I would definitely stay again and will most likely plan a trip in the next several weeks. The location is fabulous! Many thanks!

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.
