About this place
Treat yourself to the Rigger’s Retreat at the Carriage House in the peaceful hamlet of Old Mystic near the head of the Mystic River, a 2-mi drive to Mystic Seaport Museum, shops, and restaurants! This lovely property offers 4 uniquely themed private bedchambers- rented separately. This bedchamber has a private bathroom and entrance. You’ll sleep soundly on a comfy pencil bed, dressed in lovely linens, cozy up to a gas fireplace on cold nights, and wake up rested to a beautiful mural~ Come stay!
The space
We promise you will feel cared for the moment you walk through the door- from the warm welcome to a specially prepared bed- made just for you! Tucked in the back, with windows overlooking the field behind our property, you'll feel a sense of seclusion from the outside world- perfect after a busy day sightseeing.
When you return to your retreat, take time for yourself and soak in the Whirlpool bathtub (standard tub for 1).
The gas fireplace fills the room with warmth- beckoning you to curl up on the chairs and read or share a glass of wine on those cold winter nights.
During your stay, you will have a mini fridge for your perishables and a Kuerig and coffee/tea supplies for your morning cuppa.
Enjoy the bustle of downtown, but come back to the peaceful, quiet Old Mystic- a charming New England Hideaway- a true “Rigger's Retreat!” So what are you waiting for? :-D

Guest access
You'll have your own charming bedchamber, a gas fireplace (please note that the gas fireplace is available from October 1st through May 1st), and a private bathroom with a private exterior entrance.
The outside firepit and parking are shared with other guests.

During your stay
My husband and I live in Mystic, a 5-minute drive from Old Mystic. Even though you are set up for self-check-in, you may see one of us around watering plants, taking out trash bins, etc. But rest assured, we are harmless and will respect your space and privacy. If you seek answers, would like suggestions, or even meet us, we are here for you and delight in sharing this lovely little village with visitors! We are always available by phone or text, so please reach out if you need anything!
Other things to note
We also have guests who stay in our front red property, the 1784 Denison Home. We ask that you park in front of the Carriage House property and that our other guests park behind the Denison Home.
The Sailor's Room is our four-legged sailor-friendly room, so you may see a dog while staying.
The Rigger's Retreat Room is on the 1st level under an apartment, so you may hear footsteps above and plumbing from the pipes behind the wall if guests are staying upstairs.
Getting to this magical place...
~ Mystic is conveniently located midway between Boston and New York.
Less than 1 mile off Interstate 95 (exit 90)
~ T. F. Green Airport, Providence, RI, 43 mi/43 min drive
~ Mystic Train Station 3.0 miles
~ Mystic Seaport Museum and area restaurants are a short 2-mile drive down the road.
~ Old Mystic is car-dependent, so if you take the train, you'll need to plan on having an Uber for transportation.

~ We aim to offer seasonal bikes onsite during warmer months. Please inquire about availability.
We are Debbie (and Paul, too:)
