Other things to note GOOD TO KNOW • The Denison Home is located on Main Street across from the Old Mystic Post Office. It can be busy during the day but is generally quiet in the evenings. • The Old Mystic Fire Station is down the street, so you may hear sirens at times. • As with many historic homes, wide-plank floors may creak, doors can stick with weather changes, and original windows may feel drafty in winter. • The Carriage House first-floor rooms are separate from the upstairs 2-bedroom apartment, so guests walk outside under the covered roofline to reach the apartment entrance. • The Denison and Carriage House driveways connect, and we will send clear parking guidance before arrival.
