Cottage holiday rentals in East Lyme

My friend and I stayed here for a quick two-night getaway and had a great experience. The space is quiet, cozy, and super well taken care of. The view of the water from the living area is beautiful, and we spent both mornings sitting outside with coffee, and afternoons enjoying the view from the hot tub. We appreciated that the kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking equipment we needed for nights in—and that Mary had a whole list of spots to check out for adventures out (local shops, antique spots, and really solid lobster rolls!) If you’re looking for a low-key, clean, calm place to relax, recharge, and still have easy access to town, this is a great pick. We’d absolutely come back.

We always love going to this cottage. It’s our favorite. It’s actually one of our favorite places. To go a few times a year winter summer. We just spent memorial weekend there. A little doggies loved it. Home away from home so cozy. Bobby the host is wonderful. My daughter boyfriend came up and they absolutely loved it and my son came from Texas to spend one night. It was his first time there he loved it. We already planning on going back. Fantastic getaway. If you need to distress and want calmness. This is the place to come to. And the town of Mystic has great restaurants Like I said it’s our favorite place to come to and I’ve been to quite a few…. Just got home today and I’m seeing if I can book some sometime in October to go back we love it.

beautiful house, great location and very nice and peaceful neighborhood close to the beach and the vineyards the house is very well equipped ! Richard was very nice and even find a little bed for our baby boy ! thanks !

Such a lovely home! actually better than I expected! Will definitely book again. It’s honestly a no brainer after staying there. I can recommend this place 100%!

We had a wonderful stay at Leann’s! The home was absolutely lovely—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The amenities were just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. Leann was a great host, and we truly can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Great communication with host, beach within walking distance was so nice, overall good spot within 30 mins of mystic aquarium and Foxwoods casino

We loved our stay here. It was the perfect place for two of us and our dog. The home was just as described, welcoming, cosy and well equipped, and we appreciated all the local recommendations. We enjoyed local walks, the lake, and the great dog park, as well as easy access to Middletown to visit our son. Elisabeth and Daniel were fantastic hosts!

My sister, dog and I stayed at the cottage for the weekend and had a great experience! Erika is a wonderful host and the property is beautiful. The cottage itself was exactly as pictured. Breakfast in the inn, cooked with natural and organic ingredients, is an absolute must. The location of the inn is great as well, with direct access to the Lantern Hill trail (which our dog loved) and only a short drive from downtown. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Is a great place. Clean, comfortable. It is a basement apartment so the ceilings and doorways are lower than a normal house. I am 6 ft 5 in tall and I did not hit my head on the ceiling but the doorways were low where my hair would brush up. The bathroom sink and mirror were low also but all things were workable. I am NOT faulting her place at all. I am just tall. I will stay here again on my next trip to Connecticut. Elizabeth is nice and friendly. Once in a while you would hear the cat chasing the dog upstairs. but I just laughed at it. No noise was ever constant or non-stop. Slept very well. The early evening you would hear a train whistle way in the background almost like clockwork. Not disturbing, made it peaceful like you were in a small town country place. The river was nice. Hearing the river and wildlife was nice after a 10 hour workday. Highly recommend this for a stay. Only thing- wish the security light went on at 3am when I left. Hard to see going up the outside stairs.

A very cute and wonderful place to stay! Cozy, clean, private, and incredibly close to the beach! Lisa was extraordinarily understanding about the check-out time and process, would LOVE to stay again! :)

Jeanne's place was perfect for my trip to Guilford. Excellent location, close to the Green and to the water, quiet, peaceful. The house had everything I needed and more, Jeanne was super responsive and kind, and the bed was comfortable.

We absolutely loved our stay at Milton & Megan's Montauk house! It was perfect for a group of 4 (2 couples) there for a 4 day trip. The house is very quiet & peaceful, with lots of outdoor space, but also very walkable to town. The house was super clean, and everything was very easy to find. The bedrooms had lots of closet space, the TV was easy to set up, and all the amenities listed on the website were accurate. We'd love to come back again and stay. Thanks!

Ron responded extremely quick to one of my requests. He also gave us some great restaurant recommendations of which we ended up going to. Overall smooth, enjoyable, and worry free stay.

Meghan's place is exactly as posted it is absolutely beautiful, cozy, comfortable and did I say beautiful? one of my favorite things to do was sit in front of the big windows and read. You have everything you can think of close, at least 4 to 6 minutes away. There are restaurants, super market and pharmacies. But if you are like me and also like to cook sometimes on vacation the kitchen was equipped with everything you need. Highly, highly recommend.

The fresh air off the lake, the trees blowing in the wind, birds singing their songs. The place was surrounded by beauty. Although the weather wasn't warm enough to swim, we read books on the back deck and played cards on the porch. The beds were comfy, the shower was warm, and we hope to come back when we can vacation instead of attend a work conference. Highly recommend. Chandra was right there if we had any questions. A+++

The cottage is on a beautiful lake and is very relaxing . The morning sunset on our second day was amazing. Perfect couples retreat or in our case girls weekend. Our host, Donna, was very responsive and provided extra goodies. The house was clean and comfortable. We visited Gillette’s Castle and downtown Chester had lunch at Market 37 . Unfortunately, we had rain and could not enjoy deck right on the water.

We had a wonderful time at Allison's place - the location was great and the property had fantastic amenities that made traveling as a family much easier. Allison was extremely responsive and helpful during our stay. We look forward to returning!

Absolutely fantastic stay! We cannot say enough great things. We were able to check in last minute with a very quick response- yay! The attention to detail in cleaning is unmatched and so appreciated. They actually dust all the places no one else seems to. Simple touches that go a long way in convenience: towel hooks in the bathroom, a stool by the door to place your things down while you keypad in, closet full of extra pillows and odds and ends. Mystic is beautiful and this was a perfect location. Very happy we had our own outdoor space as well. Will definitely recommend to others!

What a beautiful view! We had a great time despite the weather. The house was very comfortable and the location right on the lake is hard to beat.

Our first ever stay at 'Hop Skip and Jump' really met all of our expectations and needs for the week of 8/10-8/17/24! I have never in my 70+ years of spending a summer week in Old Lyme been so enveloped with 5 star luxury while at the Beach! I would recommend this rental to any small family or a group of girlfriends! Hop

Peter's beach house was the perfect extended weekend getaway with our family. It was the first time we took a family vacation with our small children and teenager. The little kids loved the top bunk in their room and my teenager loved having a room to herself. The kitchen was perfect for our needs, the kids loved the sunroom and the living room was great with the tv for nighttime relaxing. The walk to the beach was the perfect length and the beach was clean and open. We loved every moment at the beach house and are hoping to return next year.

We could not have asked for a nicer place to stay~~~~clean, comfortable, woke up every morning hearing the bird’s singing. Felt like home. And Lori was a wonderful host! Thank you!
