Romantic Guesthouse in Historic Downtown Waterfront District!

Let the Cliffside Guesthouse become your gateway to the fun, excitement and relaxed New England charm of historic southeastern Connecticut. Cast off the burdens of daily life and journey to Mystic, a historically avant-garde seaport community that combines the best of both yesterday and today. Located just steps from the Mystic River, and situated only blocks from the center of this little hamlet, the Cliffside Guesthouse provides you with easy access to award-winning restaurants, world class casinos, unique shops, historic museums, and exciting attractions.

Recently constructed in June, 2017, and now new to the rental marketplace, the Cliffside Guesthouse is furnished to suit all of your vacation needs. Accommodations include a comfortable sitting area with TV and internet connections and a fully-functional kitchen with electric stove and oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, cookware, plates, and utensils. The guesthouse also includes a beautiful separate bedroom overlooking our beautiful cliff, and a spacious bathroom including a full-sized, glass-enclosed, step-in shower and vanity. The guesthouse is centrally air-conditioned with separate controls for the living space and bedroom areas. Best of all, you will be able to open the sliding glass doors to access your own personal veranda, overlooking the town’s historic district and surrounding neighborhood gardens.
The Cliffside Guesthouse is less than two hours from Boston and New York, and only a short drive from anywhere in Connecticut. A quick walk from the train station and you will find a unique place to unwind and rediscover the pleasures of life in comfort. In Mystic, you can eat lobster at seaside lobster shacks while watching boats embark upon their world-wide destinations, play games of chance at renowned casinos, or even enjoy intimate moments along our riverside boardwalk. The famous Mystic Pizza, along with many other award-winning restaurants, is only a 10 minute walk away, and the Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium are readily accessible. Or walk or bike along River Road, Connecticut’s first designated Scenic Roadway. Watch Hill, Westerly, Misquamicut Beach, and Newport, Rhode Island are all only a short drive away.

Accommodations include walking distance to downtown Mystic and private on-site parking. A pleasant 15 minute drive through the back roads of rural Connecticut will find you enjoying the contemporary excitement of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos. Holiday and Special Occasion Gift baskets are also available upon request. Our personal attention in preparing for your holiday experience may include specialty breakfasts, wedding and event services, spa experiences, charter fishing and boat cruises, and wine tours, or we will be happy to design one of your own choice. Arrangements for local sightseeing tours and local restaurant selections are also available for those without transportation. This property is available for Winter and long-term rentals.

We look forward to seeing and serving you soon at the Cliffside Guesthouse!

The Cliffside guesthouse is excellent! Just as pictured, beautiful furnishings, excellent location for parking and walking into town, restaurants and shopping! Short drive to winery and a very short walk to Mystic River. Anne and Ken were wonderful, friendly and kind. Can’t wait to visit again. Many thanks.

Another wonderful, relaxing stay at Cliffside!
This is my wife and my second stay at this wonderful guesthouse. Anne and Ken are gracious hosts who make you feel right at home. The guesthouse for two is comfortable and relaxing. It’s well equipped with almost everything you may need and is in walking distance to town and fine restaurants. We also took a ride up to Foxwoods Casino & Outlets as well as a chilly visit to Mystic Seaport and Mystic Village. You will not be disappointed with Cliffside and will want to come back as we did.
