Historic home

The home itself was an attraction. You can spend hours walking around, looking at the books, antique furniture, and just staring out the amazing farmhouse kitchen in the field with the horses. We spent five days in this home and it felt so comfortable. The proprietors are very kind and helpful with anything you need and I am truly looking forward to going back and staying again.

Serenity in Stonington

Our group consisted of 4 family members between the ages of 50 and 74. We adored the property but we were only able to stay 2 nights due to other commitments. We would have stayed forever! The house is warm and spacious and decorated with lovely antiques that complement the house itself. If one enjoys reading, there is a huge selection of books covering a multitude of interests.the grounds are beautiful. The location is close to the villages of Stonington, Mystic, and Watch Hill. The owners were readily available to answer questions and make our stay seem as if we were among family,

A nice location for large family

The house definitely has a lot of character being an older home. It was a bit chilly, but luckily we found some extra blankets. We did run into a few plumbing issues, like a ceiling leak when the shower was used, but we made do with a few pots to catch the water. The house also had several fireplaces, but we couldn’t get the gas one to work and there was no wood available. On the bright side, we loved visiting the friendly horses out back and enjoyed the quiet location. There was plenty of space for the five of us to play games and relax. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the charm of the place!

We enjoyed our stay here. We love older homes and this one fit the bill. Sandra was attentive to our needs/requests and was a pleasure to speak with. We loved seeing the horses right outside the windows. We would certainly stay here again.

Classic New England Christmas

We were looking to experience a classic New England Christmas like the ones written about in story books. This historic home far exceeded our expectations, right down to huddling by the fireplace to keep warm from the freezing temperatures outside. Respect for those who endured the necessity of five fireplaces to keep the New England winters at bay. We couldn't help but be in the Christmas spirit while surrounded by this home's historic charm. Seriously considering staying here again in the near future.

Charming house, great location

We booked the house for a family trip to celebrate my mom's 65th birthday, looking for enough space for 6 adults and our dogs, in close proximity to Mystic. The house was in a great location, with most of everything we wanted to visit about a 10 minute drive away. The house itself has a ton of charm and history to it. There was more than enough space for all of us and we enjoyed (and appreciated!) using the fireplace as this winter has been especially cold so far.

Relaxing

Lovely historical home near downtown mystic. I love the unique architecture of home with wonderful details and so many old books and antiques. The walk in fireplace in the sitting room was a real highlight of our stay. Easy access to all the shops, restaurants and marina. Our hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Sandra was very kind to return my glasses as I had left them behind. Overall a relaxing few days in the autumn countryside.

Amazing stay in a historic and cozy home!

Stayed here for an anniversary trip to Mystic and this property was everything we dreamed of and more! Cannot overemphasize how much we loved this house. Far enough away from the busy, touristy areas, but still close enough to Mystic and Stonington to easily make it into town. (Also only a short drive from Westerly, RI with great beach options.) We received an amazing tour from the owners upon our arrival, who were wonderfully kind, welcoming, and communicative, and even got to visit the horses and donkeys on property :) We loved exploring the house and taking in all the details, from the library of classics to the homages to previous homeowners. If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful, and cozy escape that makes you feel like you’re in a movie, I’m sure you’ll love this house as much as we did. (10/10 would recommend sitting outside at night and watching the fireflies!)

Girls trip

It was what you’d expect from a 300 year old house. The property was cool and the owners were friendly. If you are looking for luxury accommodations this is not the place for you but if you want a unique stay it’s nice. There is a sign hanging inside that says they are not required to be up to health code standards. There was mouse poop on the table in the kitchen and on top of one of the bed covers. We weren’t using the table and just cleaned up what we found on the bed without complaining because what do you expect in such an old home. The basement has a dirt floor and it was rainy the weekend we stayed. The first night when we returned from dinner there was a strong musty smell and I woke up with a bad headache and allergy symptoms. The second night was fine as the smell resolved. It smells like an antique store throughout the house as it is itself old and is full of antiques. Definitely not the cleanest rental property I’ve stayed in but it was fine. Nothing to complain about as we signed up to stay in an old home. All this to say is if you have allergies, are a neat freak, or want luxury and are going to complain if you don’t get it stay somewhere else. If you like history and old stuff this is the place for you.

Perfect location, just far enough away from everything but 10-15 minutes to Mystic and Stonington Point. The property owners are lovely people. The house itself is worthy of a chapter in a book. Very nice former B&B full of character and history. We will stay here again.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway

Had a great time enjoying this historical home and property for our family Thanksgiving. Sandra and Jim are very welcoming and will share some of the stories of the old home if you are curious. Check in/check out was seamless and the owners live in the other home on the property if you need anything. They even provided recommendations for local restaurants for Thanksgiving dinner. The home had plenty of space for our group. My teens enjoyed meeting the resident horses as well!

a trip to remember

We loved staying at Sandra's and Jim's Inn. This place was breathtaking and it felt like we were transported back in time. Every detail about the house was so beautiful, the books, the art the personalized picnic baskets, the cozy and very comfortable beds and sheets only added to the joy of our stay. We loved meeting and petting the horses. We especially enjoyed the AMAZING kitchen were we cooked and ate dinner every night. But, the best part about our experience was Jim's and Sandra's hospitality. they are such remarkable human beings and welcomed us with warmth and humility. And if you get lucky enough you might get to hear one of Jim's fantastic life stories. We feel such gratitude towards Sandra and Jim and this very special Inn and will be back to visit again. Thank you!!

Weekend fun

The house was built in 17/1800’s so there is a lot of creaking and walls are paper thin. The water pressure is excellent. It was easy to locate and close to vineyards, mystics and other places. The gas fireplaces in room gives off great heat. Sandra answer right away if you have any questions… we really enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Wright

Jim is a retired college professor (theatre and communication) with a passion for pipe organs, model trains and antique engines. Sandra is a registered nurse, working full-time in Assisted Living. We have a dog named Jackie, two cats (Hobo and PC), a blue and gold macaw named Admiral Bird, plus our horses out back.

Why they chose this property

One look in August of 2001 and we fell in love! The location is perfect: quiet and rural, lots of trees. Yet we're only 5 minutes from Mystic and Stonington Borough, 10 minutes from Westerly, RI and 20 minutes from Watch Hill and Misquamicut.

What makes this property unique

Owners are nearby for assistance when needed as we live in the property's guest house, known as "the barn".

Where else can you sit on your back patio, or look out your kitchen window, and watch horses grazing?
