The unique structure is truly one of a kind, fully insulated for winter and tucked away from the road, sitting on a quiet piece of land, just 5 minutes to downtown Mystic. Enjoy modern comforts and a designers decor, while settling in front of the fire, or taking a short drive to all that Mystic has to offer- hiking, water, shops and restaurants. The dacha is designed with a unique, European artist flair. Keeping true to its origin, art books abound, along side cozy spaces for reading and relaxing. A campfire with adirondack chairs, blankets, and s'mores await your enjoyment while you listen to the owls woot on nearby tress. Guests have full access to the Dacha or Guesthouse.
