The heart of historic Mystic boasts almost 100 shops, restaurants, souvenir stores and ice cream parlors – enough to satisfy any visitor! The Denison Homestead (first built during the 18th century) was once home to 6 generations of the Denison family is now a lovingly restored museum filled with antique furniture.

Not only does Mystic boast a wealth of historic charm, it has also been blessed with gorgeous natural landscapes that are an attraction in their own right.

Although we offer full well-equipped kitchens in our modern luxury accommodation, dining out and indulging in local cuisine is a key part of any vacation. Mystic is home to authentic restaurants with plenty of traditional charm, and there is no better place to sample some fresh seafood straight from the boat. While you’re here, you should also take the time to try locally produced apple cider, made at America’s only remaining steam powered cider mill and have a slice of heaven at the Mystic Pizza restaurant – the movie location spot that is famous for having launched Julia Roberts’ acting career.
