The Iconic Dutch Bell in Downtown Mystic

*PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE OVERVIEW & DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING!

The Iconic Dutch Bell is a historic home built in 1906 to be the waiting room and ticket sales for the Trolley riders when Randall's Wharf was the Trolley barn. Completely renovated and updated in 2021, this property offers the ultimate standard in downtown living with privacy and sophistication and the vibrant pulse of Mystic just steps away. The first floor has a renovated kitchen with maple countertops and gas range, bar seating, and ample entertaining space. The living and dining area are open to the kitchen with a gas fireplace, coffered ceilings, wood blinds, and wide pine floors running throughout. To the rear is a study with beautiful built-ins that seamlessly transitions to a third bedroom with a custom-made, Queen-size Murphy bed, and full bathroom. On the 2nd floor, there is a primary bedroom with a king bed, a full bathroom, and a "relaxation room" for quiet reflections, reading, or streaming your favorite Netflix series! To the rear is an airy and bright bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom. Each room is equipped with smart TV's and Amazon Alexa/Echo's so you can check on the weather or play sleep sounds or white noise. Out back, we've created a new, bluestone private patio nestled in the trees for al fresco dining. Off the front you will find a side deck for grilling and a beautifully landscaped area with a year-round fire pit for seating, relaxing and people-watching!

Please note : Due to the proximity to local restaurants, eateries and bars, there may be residual noise/music durning nicer weather. If you are experiencing louder than average noise please notify us via cell. There is a noise ordinance for downtown Mystic on weekends and we can help alleviate it quickly.

We have a ring doorbell installed on the rear entrance which is video enabled when guests arrive or depart. We use this feature only in the event of an incident and they are deleted every 30 days. If you have a concern please let us know in advance.

Women's Weekend
Fantastic home with a thoughtful lay-out, including three bedrooms, each with a private bathroom! Kitchen was well-stocked with every possible consideration for prepping meals. Location central to a hub of activity, easy walking distance to shops, bars, and restaurants. Beware that the proximity to nightlife may disturb a light sleeper, however owner has made accomodation with sound devices.

Great house - great location!
This was a comfortable house with fantastic proximity to great food and walking distance to shopping and attractions. The best oysters I’ve ever eaten were only two doors away! The host did a great job of communicating and was very prompt to respond to a maintenance issue. Would DEFINITELY rent again!

Amazing stay!
The property is amazing. The photos really do not do it justice. It's way bigger than I imagined. 6 adults and a child had so much space to hang out and coexist. The location could not be better. Everything is walkable. It's next to one of the best cocktail bars in America too (Port of Call).

We had an amazing time during our stay and would definitely stay here again. The location is perfectly positioned in the heart of Mystic and is exactly as described on VRBO. Extremely clean and offers everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Very spacious house, beds were so comfortable and the central air is perfect. We hope to stay here again next year.

FABULOUS Location & BEAUTIFUL Home!
Better than the pictures even show. Absolutely gorgeous, perfect location...THE.PERFECT.STAY. My husband and I took our 11 year old twins, our 13 year old son and our dog for a 4 night vacation. Walking distance to restaurants and shops, 4 minute drive to aquarium and seaport. Would stay here again for sure! It was exactly what we needed. Owner was prompt in communication. We had so much fun at the house and in the town.

Dutch Bell Was A Hit!
Our recent stay at the Dutch Bell was a delightful experience. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the home was beautifully decorated- providing the linens and towels was a bonus. Being just a short distance from downtown was a game-changer. It allowed easy access to vibrant restaurants (our family loved Sift Bakery, Young Buns Doughnuts, and Mystic Drawbridge ice cream), shops, and attractions, making exploration effortless. The well-equipped kitchen and cozy living area (the fireplace was great when the evening turned chilly) added to the comfort, and the private parking space was a pleasant bonus. Overall, if you're looking for a clean, centrally located, and charming retreat, this property is an excellent choice. Highly recommended for a memorable getaway!

Excellent property
This property was an excellent choice for three couples for a weekend stay. Each of us had a lovely bedroo/bathroom with at least a queen bed. The bedrooms were separated, which gave us a great sense of privacy. We enjoyed dinner at the dining table that comfortably seated six adults. The home was beautiful, immaculate and the property manager was gracious and responsive. The property is right in downtown Mystic, which made it very convenient to walk to the shops and restaurants. There was an outside seating area with a propane fire pit, which would have been nice on a warmer evening than we had. We did enjoy the gas fireplace in the living room. One note, due to its location close to a bar and busy area, we did hear some street noise from the bedrooms. It didn’t bother me, but you might want ear plugs or head phones if you are sensitive to noise.

5 star house
The house itself is beautiful! Bedrooms are huge, had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The location you can not beat however there are other rentals around the property. Each night we would get harassed by locals as they much have known it is a VRBO. Nothing the owners or anyone could do about it, mentioned only if you are traveling with kids. We would stay here again.

The perfect rental.
We stay at a lot of rentals, all over the world..and I can say this is a top five stay for us. The communication was great. The house was spotless. Everything in the house is high end…from the sheets and towels to the flatware and dishes. The pantry was more than accommodating. Big flat screens in every room. The location is awesome. Add to that, your own private parking for two vehicles which is awesome when it’s super busy in Mystic. Highly recommend. We will stay here again.

Gorgeous and cozy home within minutes of town
I can't say enough great things about this house, I fell in love with it and didn't want to leave! Spent a few nights here with my husband, mother-in-law and 7 year old. It's the perfect spot for a family getaway weekend, and has every single amenity you could possibly want or need. We loved curling up in front of the gas fireplace every night and were just steps away from a fantastic restaurant, cocktail bar, bookshop and Sift Bakery. We barely moved our car and were able to walk to dinner every night. Property manager was very easy to get ahold of as well. Very highly recommended!
