One size does not fit all at The Inn at Mystic in Mystic, Connecticut. Here, at Connecticut’s only inn overlooking Mystic Harbor and Long Island Sound, you’ll be able to wander over 15 lushly landscaped acres—and select from a variety of accommodations.

Our favorite, as you might have guessed, is The Haley Mansion, the original inn, a Colonial Revival mansion built in 1904 by the widow of one of the late 1800’s founders of the famous Fulton Fish Market—Katherine Haley. It features five elegantly appointed guest rooms; original, extinct pine pane paneled walls and fireplace; original wallpaper in some rooms, turn-of-the-previous century furnishings; a Victorian verandah and formal gardens.

From our room we looked down over the Mystic Harbor, we imagined living here when owner Frederick Mosel resided here with his sister, Anne. He threw extremely lavish parties to entertain his friends, the story is told, and it got to be a bit much for his quieter sister. So Mosel built a nearby Gate House, so she could get some sleep while he partied.

We got to take a peek at this Gate House (with the ordinary name of room #8) and found out that it’s where Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall honeymooned. While it doesn’t have the view that we enjoyed in the elegant Haley Mansion, it does have a working fireplace, a cozy, romantic atmosphere, and, up a few steps, an elevated absolutely luxurious Jacuzzi that any couple—honeymooners or old married folk—would love to enjoy.

There’s even more choice in accommodations at the Inn at Mystic. The Motor Inn has 40 guest rooms with individually decorated accommodations and Colonial wall coverings, and The East Wing has 12 rooms featuring queen-sized canopy beds and all ground level rooms with whirlpools. In addition, accommodations at the Flood Tide Restaurant, a Cape Cod-style house resembling a sea captain’s home, include six guest rooms with a Colonial décor.

With such an array of accommodations, the Inn at Mystic appeals to a wide variety of travelers. But, stroll the formal gardens and apple and pear orchard, and hike the nature trials and you’ll find even more. You can also play tennis, practice golf on one of two putting greens, swim at the outdoor pool, soak in the heated soaking tub, or kayak, canoe or sail in the Pequotsepos estuary. You can enjoy yourself so much that you might not even get to the other attractions in Mystic itself.
