A Family Heirloom - Historic 1839 Downtown Mystic Home

This was our fourth stay at this property and we were not disappointed. Lynsey goes out of her way to be sure the home is clean and fully stocked with all the things you need. The location is perfect; you can walk to all the downtown stores and restaurants.

This house is a real gem and all we hoped for on our trip to New England. It is furnished very tastefully and has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The owners thought about everything you might need, like beach toys for the children or some extra toothbrushes in case you forgot yours. Our kids also loved to play in the garden. The house is located very conveniently in short walking distance to the center of the town, restaurants and shops. At the same time it is very quiet and calm in the street. We can highly recommend to stay there!!! Many thanks to Lynsey and Heather

The house was perfect for our family. Great location! The house had everything we needed and Lynsey was always easy to get in touch with. We hope to be back soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation this summer (2017) in your wonderful historic home from June 3rd to the 10th. It was fun staying in a home built in 1839, but with all the conveniences of 2017. It was not warm enough to turn on the a/c unit, but the ceiling fans (3 of them) kept the air moving around. We enjoyed your beautiful deck, grill, and yard, and the wonderful fragrance from that shrub on the front corner of your home. I loved all the windows and how bright and homey the apartment felt. We must say, we have never stayed in any rental property that was filled with more supplies than your home. You have given so much thought to the comfort of those who rent your property. It was a joy to return each day after all our travels. We visited the Seaport Museum, Aquarium, Pequot Museum on the Foxwoods property, the Nautilus at Groton and took a boat ride on Friday afternoon. Each of those locations is anywhere between 5 minutes to 25 minutes away - a short drive. We walked to S & P Oyster Company - a wonderful restaurant . We would like to return again sometime to enjoy walking around and looking at more of the historic homes and some sights we missed. Whenever we return, we will hope to stay at A Family Heirloom once again. And, the next time, we will visit Abbott's for lobster in the rough and Costello's Clam Shack over in the village of Noank. And by the way, Mystic Pizza really is great!! Thank you for everything and take care, Rich and Joyce.

We just loved this house! It had such a beachy vibe and was just the perfect accommodations for our getaway. Lynsey was super helpful and the house was stocked with anything we could have ever needed. I don't have anything negative to say about it! We came in on the train and it is a walkable distance from the train station and most of the sites are walkable from the house as well. We will definitely be back.
