Charming Historic Schoolhouse on Mystic River

Historic Riverside Schoolhouse Cottage in Mystic

Enjoy stunning Mystic River views from this newly renovated 1BR/1Bath historic schoolhouse. Originally built in 1857 as a one-room school and later relocated, this charming retreat blends historic charm with modern comfort. Thoughtfully furnished to honor its past, it offers a cozy, inviting space for families or couples, to relax and explore Mystic’s rich history, scenic beauty, and waterfront attractions. Perfect for a memorable getaway in a storied New England setting.
Step into a storybook setting where history and romance intertwine. This lovingly restored former schoolhouse cottage invites couples to experience the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. Sunlight streams through the windows, illuminating a thoughtfully designed interior that celebrates its rich past while offering every modern comfort—including a fully equipped kitchen, a washer/dryer, Wi-Fi, and a TV with Amazon Prime for cozy evenings in.

The Space
Relax in the spacious living and dining areas, or sip morning coffee in the enchanting garden, complete with tables, chairs, umbrellas, and a BBQ grill—all set against the tranquil backdrop of the Mystic River. Located directly on the water, across from the Seaport, and just a short stroll from the iconic drawbridge, this hidden gem offers both serenity and effortless access to Mystic’s vibrant restaurants, shops, and historic sites.

Whether you're exploring charming cobblestone streets at the Seaport Museum, sailing on the river, or simply unwinding in this intimate retreat, your stay in this historic cottage promises to be unforgettable.

Guest Access
Guests have exclusive access to the entire cottage, including a private entrance and spacious parking. Step outside to enjoy the serene garden with comfortable seating, a BBQ grill, and breathtaking river views. For adventure seekers, we provide bikes and kayaks so you can explore Mystic by land or water. The cottage is nestled behind the main house—also available for rent—but remains completely private, featuring its own full kitchen, laundry facilities, and a tranquil retreat just for you.
Note: The bedroom and Bathroom are on 2nd floor. Must climb stairs. The most important House Rule is, respect our neighbors and community. Mystic is a quaint, coastal New England town. As hosts, and guests, we share in the responsibility of keeping Mystic a great place to visit, and to LIVE. Honor the noise ordinance. Be the guest that you would want staying in a vacation rental near your home.
