We were in town for a wedding in
Mystic, CT and spent a week at Haversham Home with our two daughters and their families. It was the perfect spot for 4 children (age 6 months to 5 years old) and 6 adults. Close enough to Mystic to do the aquarium and the sights there. The house had lots of room to gather, but plenty of space to get away if we needed to. The 3 oldest children loved the library and the bean bag chairs, but the biggest hit was the large boulder just outside the sunroom. It became a rocket, a ship, a fort, etc. Just right for three little ones with active imaginations.
Thank you Donna for making a beach pass available to us. Shelter Harbour Beach was amazing! We loved Watch Hill and made many trips to the Flying Horse Carousel. We also spent a wonderful day in Quonnie clamming with friends. The week was busy because of the wedding, but we had meals at Ford’s and at Abbott’s, grilled at the house twice and had an easy chicken take out dinner from Dunn’s Market. The week felt much too short.
Next time we need to go paddle boarding, take a hike and have drinks at the Ocean House.
Donna had many helpful suggestions and on more than one occasion I heard one of our daughters remark that Donna had really thought of the everything. The house was so well equipped.
It made our week away truly memorable. We would highly recommend it.
