Escape to a charming seafarer's nook at the Chandler's Apartment, a whimsical 2-bedroom retreat in the heart of Old Mystic, Stonington, Connecticut.

A shared full bathroom provides great water pressure for a refreshing stay.

You’ll be staying in someone’s home, so please treat it with care and respect.
FIRE PIT: Evenings by the fire pit are one of our favorite things here! You'll find a bucket beside the fire pit. Please fill it with water from the kitchen sink before you light the fire, so it's ready when you need it. For everyone's safety, never leave the fire unattended, and keep it a manageable size. When you're done for the night, drown it fully with water and stir the ashes until they're cool to the touch. NEIGHBORS BELOW: The Chandler Apartment sits above private guest rooms in our historic Carriage House, and like many older buildings, it isn’t soundproof. Footsteps and voices can carry to the rooms below, so soft steps and a gentle TV volume go a long way toward a restful stay for everyone. Thank you for being so thoughtful of the shipmates below! OUR HOME TO YOURS: This Carriage House has welcomed travelers for years, and now it's your turn. Settle in, make yourselves comfortable, and treat her kindly so she can keep welcoming guests for years to come. A SWEET SECRET: For guests who’ve read this far, message us “APPLE PIE” and we’ll have homemade apple pie waiting for your arrival. We’d also be grateful if you’d share these notes with your travel companions.
Please message me after you've locked up. If you know you'll need to head out earlier than 11 AM, please text me~ my cleaners. Anna and Emmanuelle, will be grateful to know :-)
