Private and cozy, newly renovated 1900's home with two bedrooms with a queen size bed in each and 1.5 baths. Step out your front door to swim, sunbathe or kayak on a beautiful stretch of the Niantic river with private dock and mooring. After a full day, enjoy a quiet dinner at the patio table or glass of wine on the front porch while watching the stars come out over the water. Fully renovated kitchen, large screen TV, Board games, puzzles + Adult/Kids books. There is a desk set up in one of the bedrooms if you need to work remotely while away. A Queen size pull out couch with mattress topper is in the living room. A pack n play and highchair are available if you are traveling with small children.
The house is located in a quiet family community, where a quick walk through the neighborhood takes you to a community swimming beach, tennis courts, a playground, and a 6 hole pitch and putt golf course. We also have 4 kayaks available for use on our beach. Three Belles Marina is a short walk away, where you can rent all kinds of watercraft if you have something else in mind.

The property is awesome , everything you need is available, clean and neat every room is equipped thinking on the guest needed , if you want to rest and recharge this is the place for you ,if you are a clean person this is perfect , the house is spotless.We spent thanksgiving there and have the best memories and nice pictures too.
Great location. We loved sitting by the river and watching the boats. Hosts were friendly and the cottage was equipped with everything we could ask for a months stay. We’d be happy to come back.
The place was awesome. Nice and clean, very nice environment. Very friendly family environment. I would do it again especially on an anniversary or couples getaway. The owners where very inviting and friendly too 10/10.
We were so pleased with our stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We loved the views of the water from the porch and upper bedroom. The location was very convenient and we appreciated the quiet neighborhood. The hosts were very communicative.
Perfectly appointed and stocked guest house right by the water. Host Lynn is a wonderfully friendly and helpful person, and we enjoyed getting to know her. Will definitely return next year.
Lynn is a wonderful host. She greeted us when we arrived and had decorated the guest house very nicely for Christmas. The house was very clean and inviting and was well winterized. It was supplied with everything we needed for our stay including a large washer/dryer. The neighborhood was very quiet and the views of the river were beautiful. We would be very happy to stay there again.
Perfect place for us to get away and allow our college student some much needed down time. The house is in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. I had everything we needed, clean and very comfortable. The host, Lynn, is great and was available to answer any questions. Highly recommend.
My family stayed here for a few days in June 2024 and had the perfect mini vacation. The house is very clean, had all the amenities and in the perfect location. My children loved all the nearby beaches. The local restaurants were great. Lynne and Dave can be easily reached if you need anything. Everyone in the neighborhood is so friendly. I wish we could have stayed longer. I hope to go back next summer. Thank you Lynne and Dave!
Gorgeous, superclean house in a quiet, picture postcard residential neighborhood. 50 yards from the waterfront with a cute dock and slither of a beach.
The house itself had everything we needed and more including thoughtful additions in the kitchen making it easy to make anything without having to buy loads of stuff.
The neighbourhood is lovely with shared amenities like a playground and swimming beach which are perfect for kids and the town of Niantic itself is lovely and is within short driving distance of lots of great spots like Mystic and New London / Ocean Beach.
We'll hopefully return sometime soon!
Beautiful and Cozy; Lovely Neighborhood; Exceptional Host
Even though it was one of the rainiest weekends we've had over the past two months, the house was so cozy and clean, that we did not mind too much. Lynn was a most gracious and wonderful host. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable without imposing at all. She has a sneaky talent that way. We wouldn't hesitate booking again, if we ever find ourselves in the area again. Lynn is not only the best host I've ever had the pleasure to meet I would say she is exceptional and one of a kind. A true gem! A lovely, lovely rental that is beautifully maintained. You can see all the care and love poured into the lovely guest cottage.
We had a lovely stay at Lynn's guesthouse! The house was perfectly well appointed, had everything we needed, just needed to bring food, our clothes and toiletries, making for a quick unpack and start to our vaca! Communication was easy and they were close by to help with our questions about the river/ the area etc. The house was renovated and the air conditioning was excellent. There was a small swim beach area in the association (short walk or bike ride), basketball court, tennis courts, small golf range and playground. It was quaint and friendly. We went to Crescent beach one of the days (short drive - check admission prices) and Rocky Neck Beach is also short drive. We enjoyed coffee in the mornings on the porch watching the boats go by. We will be back again!
What accommodating hosts and such a lovely little property! From the offer to pre-purchase some groceries prior to our arrival (which was kind but not necessary), to the fresh baked cookies, to all the amenities stocked at the house...just wow! It's a short drive to all that Niantic has to offer, and there's more and more each year it seems (restaurants, shoppes, etc). The house was very clean and well-appointed. It was fairly easy to put the available kayaks into the water and have a nice paddle up and down the river. This was just like a little home away from home. We were able to cook (oven/microwave), clean (dishwasher and washer/dryer), and refrigerate (fridge/freezer). The air conditioning was cold and crisp, which was certainly necessary in the heat and humidity of July/August. If our travels take us again to the area, I'd absolutely look into staying here again.
We were in the area to visit our son who is in the Coast Guard, stationed at New London. Lynn's property was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for our visit. We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy each other's company. The house was very clean and spacious. We enjoyed learning about the history of the house. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals and had every pot, dish, utensil we could possibly need for our meals. The house had a very nice washer and dryer if needed. The beds were very comfortable. The "office" had jigsaw puzzles, games and books for all ages to enjoy if so desired. The best part was the view of the Niantic River....BEAUTIFUL. The weather this weekend was not ideal for outside activity but you can sit on the front porch or walk over to the shoreline and be mesmerized by the beauty of the river. We did enjoy a beautiful sunrise on our last morning. Words cannot describe how perfect this property was for our family visit. With Lynn's friendliness and the many wonderful aspects of this house, we will DEFINITELY return.
The kitchen is convenient and had everything we needed for a “girls’” weekend. Rooms were spotlessly clean and we had abundant towels, bath soaps and sundries. Beautiful view from the front porch.
The place is lovely, comfortable, and immaculately clean. It has a wonderful history as well. The host was delightful, and always available if needed. Good conversation, beautiful views, and a great central location to take day trips around the area from. We could not have found a better place.
The property was exactly as described, clean and well appointed with many amenities available. We took advantage of the beach access to enjoy a beautiful day. Lynn is a wonderful resource and helped make our stay perfect.
Comfortable cozy vacation home with beautiful views, convenient location to beaches, and an owner who went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Look forward to visiting again!
