Wonderful house with an old cottage feel. The yard is great for games or hanging out. Its a few stairs to the water, but worth it! Close to so many parks/beaches. Amy is super responsive to questions. We really enjoyed our time here!!

Water front charm
We loved the antique house filled with family treasures. We spent many peaceful hours by the firepit looking over the river. The location is great, close to restaurants and stores. Amy is a wonderful host, checking in with us to make sure everything was okay. Thank you Amy.

River stay
The house was so charming, the location was fantastic! The whole family was out on the river throughout the day. Location was 15-30min to many places we wanted to go, very convenient. Very delightful! Amy was always available and helpful, communication was great.

Such a Special Place
My family and I loved the home, it's spacious and welcoming. The view was fantastic & the surrounding area is full of things to do. The firepit at night was our favorite thing to do while reflecting on the day & making plans for the next day. Never got to the kayaks out, but next year for sure!

Great Stay
The house is exactly as advertised: unique and spacious. We found everything we needed ready to hand, and Amy’s friendly communication was top-notch. Great convenient location for visiting the Coast Guard Academy. As long as you’re OK with stairs and the quirks of an older house, highly recommended.

River property
Our family and dogs had a great time especially on sunny days. We brougt our own kayaks. There are quite a few steps to water, we also used the paddle board on property. We also fished. Great time. The property is rustic and charming.

Adorable old house
The tree outfront needs to be trimmed desperately. Turning out of the house was quite dangerous. The house was cute and old. It was a 15-20 minute drive to all nearby attractions.

Old Family Home on the River
Enjoyed the uniqueness of the house and location.
Note: House and grounds are very nice but not easy to get around if you are elderly and have problems walking.We were in our late sixties/early seventies, not easy getting up to second floor. Low ceilings and doors difficult for 6 ft people.
We love the antiques, pantry and great supplies.

Wonderful
My family and I had a fabulous time at this beautiful, charming, well-cared for home. Communication with the owner was excellent. We used the fire pit nightly, thanks to the generous stock pile of kindling and firewood. We made use of the kayaks and paddle board, and enjoyed trips back and forth across the river. We brought two bicycles, and the neighborhood was lovely to ride through, with very little traffic. Two of my adult children had to work from home during our stay, and the Wi-Fi worked very well. The eight of us slept very comfortably at night, and we would highly recommend this lovey home.

Lovely time
The porch was essential and the house was a beautiful with so much character. The paddleboard and kayaks were great fun. The only downside is that the neighbors' docks (on both sides) prohibits having a dock and limits the size of the waterfront. The views from the porch and the adirondack chairs are spectacular. We saw so much wildlife, from horseshoe crabs to tiny bioluminescent comb jellyfish (which do not sting) to osprey to bunker fish. The house and the river were truly beautiful! The property managers were great too! They reached out a few times, making sure that we enjoyed our stay. We would highly definitely recommend!!!

A magical trip to the past
If you have fond memories of catching fireflies, watching boats go by, staying at a safe, quiet place, this is for you. This house had such an interesting, quirky vibe-you could just tell that it had made lots and lots of wonderful memories. The host was amazing and accommodating, and the best thing about this, I think, was that it was nicely stocked with necessities and towels, bedding,etc. It was a little too difficult to get down to the river for the older members of our group but we enjoyed the fire pit and the view. Definitely not a cookie cutter place-this house had charm and character, and made for a memorable stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the location, .and the furnishings were beautiful. Seriously like stepping into the past. Very cool.

Amazing time warp
An incredible gem: the family house on the shore you never had. Its trees, and the view onto the unbuilt side of the Niantic, makes you feels worlds away. Best outdoor shower east of the Big Island. Not just a "base" from which to do other things, it's a vacation in itself. Excellent, easy kayaking. Cool walk-in pantry, and lots of other throwback details in this 19th-century house. The photos will tell you if this is for you or not: it's not an investor property with all the latest upgrades. Note that the oven has been changed and it's now a more recent model from what was in the photos. Tall people may be oppressed by the low (7-ft?) ceilings. Note steep (though short) staircase to get to the bedrooms--might be an issue for the very young or the very old.

Family Vacation
Amy and the property manager were very prompt in responding to any concerns. The house has a large yard with plenty of room for lawn games. It is set back from the road with lots of greenery making you feel like you are in the country, as well as giving you privacy. Yet there were plenty of stores nearby for any needs that arose. Porch was great for morning coffee while enjoying the river view. We did not use the fire pit, but it was spacious and nicely positioned overlooking the river. Having access to the river and use of the kayaks was great although there were more steps than expected to reach the waterfront. Looking at the posted picture I thought the water would have been closer. There were also many places to see within a short drive, Mystic Aquarium, Niantic boardwalk, etc. New London is close by and has a ferry to Block Island if you want to take a day trip. My family is tall and found the beds to be short and uncomfortable. Due to the footboard they had to sleep diagonally. The cottage is old and has quirks but, overall is a nice get away from the daily routine.

Quirky
First walkthrough we were all a bit skeptical, however by night fall we were in love. As others have mentioned the ceilings are low and some doorways the guys had to duck down ~ we joke they left their DNA behind. It's a very unique set up and you can tell it has been in the family a long time. Definitely a place you never want to sell to outsiders. It certainly has history and many stories to tell
Extremely clean! One of the best parts everyone agreed upon is that it reminded us of the camp our family used to own, nothing like a screen door closing behind you.
Don't let the small amount of rocks/shells or floating greenery along the river fool you; walk out 10' or so and it's very sandy. Wish we had known this before we set out across the river to the small beach. Water shoes recommended, though we had no issues
Only down fall were the beds; the guys in the family were a bit snug in the full/double beds, which is fully disclosed in the description. Absolutely would return if the beds were queen sized
Highly recommend The Dock Reasturant ~ very simple with great fresh seafood

A week in Waterford at a RUSTIC cabin
This is a very rustic cabin as stated in the description. I was slightly worried about all the extension cords and the lack of outlets. My mom is on oxygen and we had a hard time finding outlets to plug her oxygen machine in. The bathroom downstairs is very small and I would have appreciated a better picture of the tub. My 75-year-old mother stayed with us and could not get into the shower due to the high tub and did not shower the whole vacation. She also was not able to get up the stairs without help. They are very steep and not good for elderly individuals or small children. The place was clean and the owners were great to work with. We enjoyed our time in Waterford. Everything was close and lots of things for my grandchildren to do. If you are looking for a very rustic experience, close to the water, this is a great place to stay. The owners were great and very responsive to my questions. Had I known about the tub and seen how steep the steps were, we would have probably stayed somewhere else. I did recommend to the owners that they should probably share better pictures of the tub and explain how steep the stairs are in the description. We had very good communication throughout the stay.

This New England cottage is a slice of times gone by. If you love antiques and house features that carry a story, you will love this place. The ceilings are low, so 6' people beware. We had one in our group bang his head a few times until he got the hang of it. The shower is also set up for a more petite stature and is raised in a footed tub, so not for ones with mobility issues. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen ware and spices. Floors are wonky and sloped, as expected in a house of this age. The beds are very firm, which is part of the reason I didn't go to 5 stars. We all had trouble sleeping on them, and our hips hurt. Even memory foam toppers would help. Also, look closely at the bed description. We had three couples, so it wasn't ideal, since only two rooms have double beds. The other rooms have bunks and single. The view of the river is very nice, and my favorite room was the dining room with the three sets of french doors with screens, allowing for a nice view of the water, and the breeze to come in the house. Lots of steps to the water, so again limited mobility for some. The outside, yard and bank seem to have some deferred maintenance, and could use some TLC. The house reminded me of relatives homes that have past, but held lots of memories. My grandfather also had a rope on the staircase for a handrail. Even though it was old, it was dust free and clean. It was easy to get to Groton for a wedding, and a huge plus that it permits dogs.

Overall I really liked the property, gave us a lot of room for our stay. Communication with the host was great, instructions prior to arriving and after arriving were excellent. Access to the river was great and other immenities around the place were a definite plus. Firewood pile to use with the firepit was a bonus. The kayaks and paddleboard were used them for a great afternoon on the river. The location is also excellent. We were up there for my son's graduation from the CGA. Only about 10 minutes away. Very easy to go back and forth. Some of the things that I didn't quite like... it is an older house and not really updated. Very musty smell, especially in the lower floor. Had to use a lot of air freshner to tame it down. If you're sensitive to smells, be cautious. The staircase going up to the second floor is scary. It is steep, it is narrow, it can be slippery. Extreme caution when going up a down. Anti skid or a runner carpet is needed. It's an accident waiting to happen. The heating and air conditioning is hit or miss. There is a sectional air/heat on heat floor, but doesn't cover much of those areas. Old house, to be expected.Overall, we had a great stay. Would probably stay here again if we were in the area. Sadly not going to be coming up there again now that my son has graduated.

We had a lovely time here! The beds were very comfortable, the water pressure was great, excellent location. Thank goodness for the AC and fans as it was hot while we were there. The bathroom sinks have small faucets and the shower is in a clawfoot tub, which makes it a bit difficult for anyone short or elderly. The stairs to the second floor were pretty steep as well.The property is lovely; the stairs down to the water were more than initially expected. The river is great for kayaking and boating! And it has a sand bottom which made it nice for swimming.

Quiet neighborhood in historic home. Beautiful view of Niantic river. Great fire pit and kayaks. Fans and A/C kept us comfortable. Beach took cash only ($35) but close to lots of things. Simple throw back to a time gone by

Fun stay!
Great location right on the river. The bedrooms are all upstairs and the shower is downstairs, but there's a toilet upstairs, so no late night attempts at scaling the stairs were necessary. The kitchen is fully equipped and we really enjoyed using the outside space to grill and play. We kayaked and took advantage of the beautiful weather while we could. The house is quirky and the history of it is really pretty amazing. It does get a little warm upstairs when it's really hot outside, but the basin room has AC and there's a mini split in the hallways. Use the fans to move the cooler air around.
