a historical retreat…
the history buff in you will love the story behind the 1807 williams home The building started as the Wayside Inn, a regular stopping point for stagecoaches on their New London-Providence runs. On January 17, 1840, Secretary of State Daniel Webster, traveling by sleigh, stopped in for a drink on his way to the Groton Ferry to catch a boat to New York! If only walls had ears, imagine the stories they could recount. perhaps you could listen and hear the walls whisper words of the past!

property truths
the williams home & smith cottage property is on main street on a bustling corner at a 3-way stop sign across holly hock antiques and the old mystic post office It's busy with road noise during the day but a quiet and peaceful hamlet in the evenings.
outdoor spaces and parking are shared with guests staying in the williams home main house and the smith cottage
as the williams home is circa 1807, the floorboards are wide and move and creak a bit, but i think you'll appreciate how it adds to the charm and character of an antique home
sometimes, wooden homes' doors stick and need a push or a pull, as wood naturally expands and contracts with the new england weather
original glass windows can be drafty While we treat for insects, occasionally, they find their way inside.
larger groups
in addition to the williams home and smith cottage (which can accommodate up to 14 guests if reserved together), we have 2 more adjacent properties: the denison home (which can accommodate 10 guests) and the carriage house (which can accommodate 14 guests), so we can accommodate 36-38 guests for larger gatherings
we are sure you would love to stay at the 1807 williams home, and we'd love to host you!
warmly,
debbie (& paul, too)
