Here’s what
Conde Nast Traveler
wrote, in part, about Stanton House:
The addition of the Stanton House further fleshes out the Whaler’s Inn’s accommodation offerings, adding some higher-end new accommodations that honor the area’s architectural traditions but feel fit for modern travelers. This freestanding, four-story building contains a blend of both guest rooms and suites, and the one to book is the Riverview Penthouse: it comes with a living space equipped with kitchenette, a gas fireplace, and a private 300 square-foot balcony overlooking the Bascule Bridge and Fishers Island Sound.

raved about Mystic as well, saying the town “couldn’t be more charming if it tried.”
“This is an authentic New England coastal town at its best, with shops, restaurants, and numerous museums just outside your door,” wrote the publication. “For a weekend trip (especially with kids) you’ll have plenty to do.”
