1 Bedroom House in Old Lyme
A Private Cottage Retreat in Historic Old Lyme
Enjoy the quiet beauty of the Connecticut shoreline from this charming, completely independent guest cottage in historic Old Lyme. Tucked discreetly on the grounds of a distinguished 1840s property, the cottage offers privacy, comfort, and a peaceful setting—while placing you close to the beaches of Long Island Sound, Old Lyme’s celebrated arts community, restaurants, jazz, nature, and the many attractions of southeastern Connecticut.
The cottage has its own private entrance, dedicated parking space immediately adjacent to the building, and an outdoor electric-vehicle charging station for guests arriving by EV. Once you arrive, the cottage is entirely your own.
Step inside and you are welcomed by an unexpectedly spacious interior with high ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and an open, airy feeling. Although intimate in scale, the cottage has been thoughtfully arranged to provide everything needed for a relaxing coastal stay. It is well suited to a couple seeking privacy, a quiet weekend away, a visit to family or friends in the area, or a convenient home base for exploring the Connecticut shoreline.
One of the cottage’s most appealing features is its attached outdoor pergola. Sheltered by mature landscaping and screened from the main residence, this private outdoor space feels like an additional room. It is a lovely place for morning coffee, reading in the afternoon, sharing a quiet meal, or enjoying the evening air after a day at the beach or exploring the surrounding towns.
The cottage includes a comfortable living and sleeping area, a private bathroom, and a convenient kitchenette for preparing coffee, breakfast, snacks, and simple meals. The interior has been designed to feel welcoming and residential rather than like an ordinary hotel room. The cottage and pergola together provide a secluded retreat where guests can settle in, relax, and enjoy their own schedule.
Historic Old Lyme and the Connecticut Shoreline
Old Lyme is one of New England’s most beautiful and historic shoreline communities. Known for its tree-lined roads, historic homes, galleries, museums, and connection to American Impressionism, the town has long attracted painters, writers, musicians, and visitors drawn to its distinctive combination of culture and natural beauty.
The cottage is conveniently located near Old Lyme’s historic village center and the Lyme Street arts district. Visitors can explore the Florence Griswold Museum and its beautiful riverside grounds, visit the Lyme Art Association, attend local exhibitions and programs, and discover the artistic traditions that have made Old Lyme an important part of American cultural history.
Music lovers can enjoy performances at the nearby jazz club, while those who prefer a quiet day outdoors can explore local nature preserves, shoreline walks, rivers, beaches, and scenic country roads.
White Sand Beach and the waters of Long Island Sound are nearby, making the cottage an inviting destination for a coastal visit. Beach access and seasonal parking regulations vary by location, so guests should review the applicable town or beach rules when planning their visit.
Old Lyme also provides an excellent starting point for exploring the wider Connecticut shoreline. Nearby destinations include Old Saybrook, Essex, Chester, East Lyme, Niantic, Mystic, and the lower Connecticut River Valley. Guests can enjoy waterfront dining, antique shops, galleries, historic villages, boat excursions, theaters, state parks, and some of the most attractive scenery in southern New England.
Privacy Without Isolation
The cottage is located on the grounds of the owners’ residence, but it is positioned and landscaped to provide a high degree of independence and privacy. Guests have their own entrance, their own parking space, and their own outdoor pergola. There are no shared interior spaces.
The owners are nearby should assistance be required, but otherwise guests are free to enjoy the property privately. This arrangement offers the reassuring convenience of having attentive hosts close at hand without sacrificing the independence that makes a cottage stay special.
