3-bedroom vacation home just a 5-min walk to Main Street, Mystic

*PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE OVERVIEW & DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING!

The Iconic Dutch Bell is a historic home built in 1906 to be the waiting room and ticket sales for the Trolley riders when Randall's Wharf was the Trolley barn. Completely renovated and updated in 2021, this property offers the ultimate standard in downtown living with privacy and sophistication and the vibrant pulse of Mystic just steps away.

Mystic's beautiful coastline is where you can find your ideal getaway spot at this lovely three-bedroom retreat. Situated less than a 5-min walk to Main Street, Mystic (Drawbridge, Ice Cream) and steps away from some of the regions most renowned restaurants, bakeries and nightlife, you'll be immersed in the rich maritime history and quaint New England atmosphere.

Keep connected with the free WiFi, and enjoy the convenience of a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, grill, and all the necessary appliances and utensils to prepare delicious meals.

When it's time to explore, venture just an 8-minute drive to the Seaport, a 19-minute drive to the Foxwoods Resort Casino or a 24-minute drive to the Mohegan Sun Casino for exciting entertainment, gaming or award-winning golf courses. Back at the property, keep the little ones entertained with the selection of games and books, or take advantage of the provided baby gate and travel crib for a stress-free family vacation.

Each room is equipped with smart TV's and Amazon Alexa/Echo's so you can check on the weather or play sleep sounds or white noise. Out back, we've created a new, bluestone private patio nestled in the trees for al fresco dining. Off the front you will find a side deck for grilling and a beautifully landscaped area with a year-round fire pit for seating, relaxing and people-watching!

Please note : Due to the proximity to local restaurants, eateries and bars, there may be residual noise/music durning nicer weather. If you are experiencing louder than average noise please notify us via cell. There is a noise ordinance for downtown Mystic on weekends and we can help alleviate it quickly. We have a ring doorbell installed on the rear entrance which is video enabled when guests arrive or depart. We use this feature only in the event of an incident and they are deleted every 30 days. If you have a concern please let us know in advance.

We love our annual stay at thw Dutch Bell! The location is perfect for walking to Main Street to enjoy our favorite spots including Mystic Pizza and Sift Bakery. Parking at the property is super convenient, which is a plus. The home is incredibly comfortable for our group (4 adults, 3 kids), and we enjoy spending time together in the open space 1st floor. The sleeping arrangements are super comfortable and each bedroom having it's own full bathroom is perfect for us. We hope to stay again next year!

Overall my family had a great time and enjoyed the property. It's nicely updated, good amenities like the fire pit and a great location. Some things that could be improved was better cleaning, cobwebs in some places, soap despenser empty in 1 bedroom and none of the TV remotes had working batteries.All relatively minor things. That being said Jon was responsive and easy to communicate with and we enjoyed our trip.

Beautiful house close to town

My family had a great week long stay in the dutch bell! In one direction we were able to walk into town, and in the other direction we took quieter waterfront walks through a charming marina. There was a lot to love about the house but highlights were the convenient parking and a bathroom for every bedroom. Hope to return! Thank you, Jon!

Return to Mystic and Dutch Bell

This is our second stay at the Dutch Bell, and we really enjoyed coming back. The house is beautiful (looks as nice as the pictures), and everything Mystic is walkable! For awareness, the house is next to a restaurant/bar, so it can get a bit noisy at closing time, but it obviously wasn’t bad enough to prevent us from returning (and would do so again). Jon and team were great hosts, and the communication was fantastic - can’t say enough good things.

Husband's 60th Birthday trip

We had a great stay. The house in beautiful and very clean. Beds are all comfy and bedding top notch! Owners were very pleasant to text with and responsive. The location is great. Only issue may be with some who go to bed early as the bar next door is a little noisy up until midnight. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!

Great location, clean and perfectly suited to our group with 3 bedrooms and baths for each. Visited for an event at USCGA which is a short drive away and comfortably hosted friends from school and our family from west coast. The younger generation could walk to fun places close by while we stayed in and enjoyed the cozy fire in living room. Great breakfast at popover. Hosts were communicative and super and everything was great!

Great Host and Good Location

The host was great. Communication with host was friendly and he got back to me quickly with reply to questions. The house was cozy with the fireplace in living room. Very comfortable for 5 adult women. The location was good with shops and restaurants nearby. The only thing that we encountered was the loud music coming from restaurant next door on Saturday and Sunday night.

Great homey location in downtown Mystic

Our first empty nester Thanksgiving in Mystic, CT was wonderful! We could walk to downtown, and many attractions were only a short drive. The Dutch Bell was warm and cozy, particularly with the gas fireplace on a cold rainy day. Everything needed for a comfortable stay (long or short term) was provided, including a lovely dog park next to the marina just outside our door. We're long term Vrbo renter's and would highly recommend the Dutch Bell!
