Great location for a getaway in Mystic. The apartment has everything you need, and hbd host couldn’t have been more accommodating. Would definitely recommend!
Barbara did an amazing job with this place. It’s so welcoming and quaint. The bed was super comfortable. It is in a very quiet area and very walkable to everything around. We will definitely be back.

Location with outstanding views of Mystic River. Comfortable and well-furnished for two people. Great and comfortable walking to everything Mystic has to offer. Just a few steps off the main street but quiet. Small porch area for coffee and riverside seating.

Wonderful stay - perfect location
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Riverbed Cottage. The cottage was very comfortable for the two of us and we loved the nautical/vintage decor. The location was perfect - within walking distance of everything in the downtown area. We enjoyed sitting out by the river in front of the cottage in the provided adirondack chairs - lovely view! Communication with our host was excellent. We highly recommend this cottage!

Just close enough, but far enough away
The decor was perfect for the experience. Nautical mixed with fun elements. Just steps away from the action, but far enough to walk home to tranquility. Located right on the river, this apt has great views of all the boats coming and gowing. Great communication with yhe owner.

Charming property
Beautiful and well decorated property. Very clean and in a great location overlooking the river.
There is a little place to make some coffee but not a real kitchenette, as there is no sink or space to make something to eat.
Overall we enjoyed our stay there.

Sweet getaway
The location was perfect! Walk to everything and enjoyed our stay! The hosts are
Very attentive to your needs but leave you with complete privacy. The only things ans a gentleman just mentioned is the staircase is enclosed so you have to be a little
Agile to get over it and the parking was difficult
Because if
You left your street space people are
Quick
To take it! Otherwise it
Was perfect
Thank you!
