Hemingway Retreat
We highly recommend Hemingway Retreat and we will definitely be staying here again. The cottage is clean, cosy, comfortable and has a nice ambiance. Caitlin has provided some snacks, sodas and water as well as a Keuring coffee maker and a variety of coffee. The property is quiet and is only a short walk to town, (sidewalks all of the way) which during the busy season alleviates trying to find parking. Walking at night felt very safe. Caitlin and Chris met us upon our arrival and were helpful with suggestions for places to eat. Thank you. Kathleen and Dean

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!

Just perfect!
From booking to check out, excellent experience. Fast communication with host. Very accommodating. The house was clean, neat, cozy, private and the location couldn't be better. We could walk to everything. Just by the water. Amazing in the mornings with the fog covering the water down the road. Fire pit at night. Pleasant surprise to find snacks and drinks in fridge. Can't recommend this amazing place enough. The host also recommended places to eat. Great great delicious food within walking distance. My girlfriend and I were beyond happy with the stay, just wished we didn't have to work the next day so we could stay longer.

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!

A great way to visit Mystic
I stayed here with my wife and 6 month old while visiting family for the Holidays. The place was very clean with nice amenities, had easy check in/access and perfect for our stay. It’s in a great location, walking distance away from downtown Mystic yet quiet and private. Overall had a wonderful stay!

Great weekend getaway for a couple
Very clean. No need to get in our car all weekend!! Second time staying here! Great place, has everything you need for a two person visit. One thing to note, for anyone who may have a sensitivity to smells, the plug in air fresheners can be very overwhelming and asthma triggering. Also, renters would benefit from a hook or two to hang a wet towel.
