Romantic Guesthouse in Historic Downtown Waterfront District!

Let the Cliffside Guesthouse become your gateway to the fun, excitement and relaxed New England charm of historic southeastern Connecticut. Cast off the burdens of daily life and journey to Mystic, a historically avant-garde seaport community that combines the best of both yesterday and today. Located just steps from the Mystic River, and situated only blocks from the center of this little hamlet, the Cliffside Guesthouse provides you with easy access to award-winning restaurants, world class casinos, unique shops, historic museums, and exciting attractions.

Recently constructed in June, 2017, and now new to the rental marketplace, the Cliffside Guesthouse is furnished to suit all of your vacation needs. Accommodations include a comfortable sitting area with TV and internet connections and a fully-functional kitchen with electric stove and oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, cookware, plates, and utensils. The guesthouse also includes a beautiful separate bedroom overlooking our beautiful cliff, and a spacious bathroom including a full-sized, glass-enclosed, step-in shower and vanity. The guesthouse is centrally air-conditioned with separate controls for the living space and bedroom areas. Best of all, you will be able to open the sliding glass doors to access your own personal veranda, overlooking the town’s historic district and surrounding neighborhood gardens.
The Cliffside Guesthouse is less than two hours from Boston and New York, and only a short drive from anywhere in Connecticut. A quick walk from the train station and you will find a unique place to unwind and rediscover the pleasures of life in comfort. In Mystic, you can eat lobster at seaside lobster shacks while watching boats embark upon their world-wide destinations, play games of chance at renowned casinos, or even enjoy intimate moments along our riverside boardwalk. The famous Mystic Pizza, along with many other award-winning restaurants, is only a 10 minute walk away, and the Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium are readily accessible. Or walk or bike along River Road, Connecticut’s first designated Scenic Roadway. Watch Hill, Westerly, Misquamicut Beach, and Newport, Rhode Island are all only a short drive away.

Accommodations include walking distance to downtown Mystic and private on-site parking. A pleasant 15 minute drive through the back roads of rural Connecticut will find you enjoying the contemporary excitement of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos. Holiday and Special Occasion Gift baskets are also available upon request. Our personal attention in preparing for your holiday experience may include specialty breakfasts, wedding and event services, spa experiences, charter fishing and boat cruises, and wine tours, or we will be happy to design one of your own choice. Arrangements for local sightseeing tours and local restaurant selections are also available for those without transportation. This property is available for Winter and long-term rentals.

We look forward to seeing and serving you soon at the Cliffside Guesthouse!

Another wonderful, relaxing stay at Cliffside!
This is my wife and my second stay at this wonderful guesthouse. Anne and Ken are gracious hosts who make you feel right at home. The guesthouse for two is comfortable and relaxing. It’s well equipped with almost everything you may need and is in walking distance to town and fine restaurants. We also took a ride up to Foxwoods Casino & Outlets as well as a chilly visit to Mystic Seaport and Mystic Village. You will not be disappointed with Cliffside and will want to come back as we did.

Wonderful Stay
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with a weekend getaway to Mystic and out stay here was PERFECT! Anne was a wonderful host who greeted us warmly and gave us the rundown and insider tips on making the most of our visit. The guesthouse had all of the amenities we could hope for. It’s a very short walk into town and a short drive from even more fun. Highly recommended!

A wonderful week!
My wife and I spent a week at Anne & Ken's romantic guesthouse in Mystic and it did not disappoint! The checkin process could not have been smoother. Our hosts were great communicators and always willing to answer questions or provide assistance. The property itself was clean, bright and well appointed with just a short walk to downtown and all that Mystic has to offer. The fact that you did not have to hunt for parking was a real plus! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning to continue our explorations of wonderful coastal Connecticut!

Mystic getaway!
This was our first trip to Mystic and the Cliffside Guesthouse was ideal. The Guesthouse was clean, comfortable, and bright and very tastefully decorated. The yard was neatly manicured and the gardens contained blooming hydrangea shrubs that were beautiful. It’s location made for an easy stroll along the Mystic River to the center of town, where there is a multitude of shops and restaurants, as well as places to just sit and watch the activities along the river. Anne and Ken were very hospitable and friendly and provided us with a list of suggested restaurants and things to do, which were invaluable to us since we had never been to Mystic before. Our visit was short but we hope to return.
