Historic home in downtown Mystic-1 block from green, river, shops & restaurants

Step back in time to 1828 and walk the same halls as Charles Mallory, Mystic’s most prominent shipbuilder (see Mallory buildings and exhibits on display at Mystic Seaport). The Charles Mallory House is a 7 bedroom (sleeps 15), 4.5 bath (3750 sq ft) home located on .65 acre. This newly renovated home was the home of Charles Mallory and his decedents from 1828-2012. Located in historic downtown Mystic, the Charles Mallory Mystic House is ideal for extended/multi-generational family celebrations and reunions. Are you the parent(s) of the bride or groom who is getting married in the surrounding area? Or parent(s) of a Coast Guard student, Connecticut College student, or other academic institution? If so, this is the perfect house to accommodate your guests who are attending your once in a lifetime functions. Leave your car behind as this Greek Revival Home is a 1 block walk to Main Street Mystic, Mystic Green and River, numerous restaurants, bakeries, shops and the infamous Mystic River Bascule Bridge.

Beautiful flower gardens surround the house as well as a front and side porch, a 1,000 sq foot antique bluestone patio with grill, and picturesque 7 foot fountain. An expansive back yard is perfect for your family gatherings or a quiet time to read a book or swing on the tree swing. Two Stand Up Paddle boards (SUPs) that convert into kayaks and 2 kayaks are available for your use. Please note, per recommendation of our insurance company, there are four outdoor surveillance cameras. One camera covers the backyard and carriage house, a second camera covers the driveway and the third camera covers the the patio area. A ring camera is located on the front of the house. There are no cameras located inside our home.

The Charles Mallory House has two floors. The first floor showcases a gourmet kitchen that includes an 8 burner, 2 oven Wolf stove, pot filler, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, an over sized island and granite counter tops. Four fireplaces are located in the dining room, family room, living room and bedroom. The first floor bedroom (king bed) with an en suite bathroom is perfect for guest who do not want to climb stairs. A half bath completes the first floor living area.

A foyer with a grand curved staircase (great for pictures) takes guests to second floor or guests can enter the second floor via the servants stairway. Three more fireplaces can be found among the 6 second floor bedrooms (2 king bedrooms- 1 with attached bathroom, 2 queen bedrooms, 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds, 1 bedroom with bunk bed and trundle). A total of 3 full bathrooms complete the second floor living area.

This downtown location is only a 5 minute drive to Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, Esker Point Beach and Williams Beach, movie theaters, Old Mystic Village shopping, wineries, Fields of Fire Adventure Park and only 20 minutes to Rhode Island Beaches, Foxwoods, and Mohegan Sun Casinos. This property requires the signing of a contract that includes cancellation terms, payment details, and rental terms that could not be outlined within the constructs of the VRBO rental framework.

Perfect Location for Our Large Group
This beautiful, historic home served as a perfect location for our large group reunion of 3 families of 4 and 2 singles, ranging in age from 10-49. There was plenty of room to spread out and there were also plenty of spaces to gather as one large group. The backyard deck is particularly lovely. They made check-in and check-out easy with their home guide, which also provided a fascinating history of the house, and were very responsive when we had a concern that they resolved immediately. Very friendly couple. A lovely coffee house across the street had us going every morning, but they supplied plenty of coffee for our group and even a plate of homemade cookies and 2 bottles of wine greeted us on the counter upon our arrival! Would definitely recommend to anybody looking to stay with a large group of people.

Wedding Perfection
We stayed with friends and family in the Mallory house to celebrate our daughter’s wedding in Mystic. The house was the perfect backdrop to a perfect weekend. We were able to host guests on the delightful patio and cook an end of weekend feast in the lovely kitchen that has everything a cook could ask for. We even did a few first look pictures by the fountain and on the swing with all the beautiful roses as a background. As a rental house we had everything we could ask for: comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms and so many fluffy towels! Mystic is a special town and the Mallory House will have a special place in our hearts for making our daughter’s wedding weekend even more spectacular!!

Our Intimate Wedding
We chose this spectacular property for our wedding that only included seven members of our family for it's charm and access to downtown Mystic. Lynn and Skip could not have been nicer or more helpful in their hospitality and recommendations. The kitchen was both beautiful and functional, the dining area fit us perfectly, and the expansive patio was an amazing spot for our ceremony and relaxing by the firepit on the following night surrounded by flowers and a bubbling fountain. We hope to return for an anniversary gathering in the future.

A Memorable Stay at Mystic
My family had the pleasure of staying at this remarkable abode over Memorial Day Weekend. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warm hospitality of our hosts. Their thoughtful welcome note, complete with homemade cookies and a bottle of wine, set the tone for a truly memorable stay. The sheer grandeur of the home captivated us upon entry, evoking a palpable sense of history and charm. The expansive exterior was equally inviting, boasting a meticulously maintained backyard adorned with ample seating, shaded areas, a fire pit, and a grill—an ideal setting for outdoor gatherings. Stepping inside, we found ourselves immersed in comfort and convenience. The air conditioning provided welcome respite from the summer heat, while the plush beds ensured a restful night's sleep. The spacious kitchen and dining areas were well-appointed, perfect for accommodating both children and large families alike. Beyond its historical allure, the location proved to be equally appealing. A brief stroll led us to the enchanting Mystic Seaport Museum and downtown area, while major grocery stores were just a short drive away. In summary, our experience at this extraordinary home was nothing short of exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable getaway.

Dream Trip
I have been planning a trip for my American Literature class to go to New England and see examples of the places we read about and to enjoy the rich literary past. Staying at the Mallory house made this trip perfect. The students were overwhelmed at the beauty and the history of the house. We had 11 people in our group, and the space was perfect. We had plenty of room to spread out comfortably, and the dining room was perfect for getting assignments and meeting to go over the plan for the next day. Our stay could not have been more perfect. I have already recommended the house to several people!

Wonderful stay with family and friends in Mystic for wedding celebrations. Our guests came from different parts of the country, arriving and departing at different times. Quick walk to town for shopping and munching. Our host were most pleasant and accommodating. Always making sure that we had what we needed and making sure we were comfortable. We had 12 sleepers for a few nights and room for everyone. The beds were very comfortable! I could go on and on about this special house. So historic and beautiful!

This was our second stay at the Charles Mallory House - we love this little town and the house is the perfect size for a large group, perfectly located right near town, and so tastefully restored with real charm. The house was spotless and the beds were SO comfortable. We were so happy to come back for a second year in a row. We had great weather and were able to fully utilize the patio and firepit.

Wedding Weekend
I cannot begin to express how happy we were with the rental of the Charles Mallory home. Your perfectly appointed rental was an exceptional location for our son's wedding weekend. Our family felt absolutely comfortable and right at home. The house had everything I needed to entertain my son's wedding party for a "Night Before" dinner and a brunch for the groomsmen the morning of the wedding. The beautiful patio and fountain all added a picturesque background for all our festivities. I can't wait to see all the photos and I will be sure to share them. The location only 1 block from downtown Mystic added to the appeal and charm of the home. When there was some downtime we walked downtown enjoying many of the shops, restaurants and bars Mystic has to offer. My grandchildren loved the park and the harbor both walking distance from the house. Communication with the hosts was easy and they were quick to respond to our questions. We loved this property so much we are considering renting again next year around the holidays so we can spend some time together as a family. Many thanks to Lynn and Glen. We couldn't have asked more accommodating hosts and such an absolutely beautiful home to celebrate our wedding weekend. Lisa

Amazing Mystic Vacation
Stayed in this beautiful home for 6 nights mid-July 2023 with friends and family. It was the perfect place to come together from California, Michigan and Connecticut and spend quality time together. The location can't be beat. The size and comfort of the home allowed for everyone to have their own space. We loved our time playing games in the backyard, grilling and dining in the side yard and sitting on the front porch with a coffee or a cocktail watching the people go by. The added bonus of watching the mama duck and her ducklings in the yard was the cherry on top. Hoping we will be back soon.

Magical Property
I highly recommend this amazing property for your next vacation or even as a destination for your next family reunion. My sister and I rented this beautiful home with our families to celebrate a wedding at nearby Saltwater Vineyards. There was plenty of space, indoors and outdoors, for the two sets of parents and grown children (11 in total). The kitchen was well-stocked with many amenities that made preparing meals a pleasure and we all fit comfortably around the dining room table with ample china, glasses and silverware for all. We catered dinner one night from a local Italian restaurant and the full trays of food fit comfortably in the ovens to stay warm. The outdoor space feels like a park with a beautiful fountain, lots of tables with umbrellas and soft weating for large groups. The porch swing suspended from a huge tree in the side yard was a perfect place for a quiet chat. The location is truly ideal and allowed everyone to explore downtown Mystic on foot on their own schedule with no cars needed. Thank you Lynn and Skip for providing a setting and experience that exceeded our expectations.
