We had a wonderful stay at the Cliff Guesthouse. The house has a well equipped kitchen, large shower, comfortable living room and bedroom. The location is great for exploring Mystic.

Mystic

Property was beautiful, location perfect. The owner felt the need to call me repeatedly before my stay and then we had to do a "meet n greet" which seemed uneccesary. She had to give us a tour etc... there was a very detailed binder explaining all the details of the Property. Overall very nice stay.
