We booked this house over two months in advance for a get together with about 13 people. We gave them a down payment and everything seemed to be all set. About one month from the date of our rental, I received a phone call stating the house wasn’t available anymore and we could only rent the upstairs. So, if you do choose to stay at this vacation rental I’d be sure to have back up plans. We were left with one month to find a rental for 13 people in Mystic, with no luck. Completely unprofessional!

I stayed at this historical Inn for a quick weekend trip and had a lot of fun. It was like camping inside. Of course it helped that I was surrounded by a great group of folks who can make a bag of dried beans into a fun time, but still. There were weird doors behind doors that almost made rooms hidden but they weren’t, some of the doorknobs were at knee level which for some reason cracked me up, the kitchens were well equipped with everything we needed, there were plenty of linens, towels and toiletries. It’s no 5 star luxury hotel or anything, but this place is great for relaxing, adventure, and small get-togethers. I’d definitely do it again.

The Hellmouth: This house, which seemed like a good deal, and quite appealing based on web pictures and description is truly appalling. We were greeted by a swarm of flies in the kitchen, with scores of dead ones on the floor(we literally killed 50 the first night alone). The highlights of the kitchen included a punched out section of wall, dishes that were covered with dust and/or crusted with old food and grease, and a pair of dirty underpants in one of the cupboards. The entire house smelled of mildew, and was painted in a slapdash fashion. While one of the bedrooms and the living room were reasonably furnished, the other had a pair of mismatched twin beds, one with a sagging old mattress, a desk, and a small table. There was no mirror, no clock, and nowhere to store clothes except a closet highlighted by a live wire running down the inside. Sadly we could find no other place to move to. All who enter here, beware!
