House of 1833 Bed and Breakfast

This is the greatest place ever. Evan and Robert are the most gracious hosts you could ask for. We stayed in the Cupola room for a nice romantic weekend and it was the most relaxing retreat we have ever shared. The jacuzzi tub was a nice treat. Plus, the breakfast is amazing! Much more than just coffee and baked goods. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to feel pampered. We will be staying there again soon!

Stayed here on our first part of our Honeymoon and were we ever impressed! Evan and Robert decorated the room we were staying in for our honeymoon, and the flowers, cheesecake, and champagne was just wonderful! Absolutely loved this place, and we were there for Pancake Sunday! Homemade everything, and they took extra special care once they knew about my wife’s severe peanut allergy, all of this with an atmosphere filled with love! You could not ask for better hosts in Evan and Robert, the home is warm and inviting, with Evan and Robert as the heart and soul of the place! Can’t wait to go back for a longer stay!

This is the best place ever. The breakfast and hospitality is 2^nd to none. I love everything about it.

Evan and Robert were great hosts. Evan is the official (but thankfully informal) host — giving a great your of the house and its history, tips on where to visit and eat in all the towns nearby, and taking breakfast (and other) orders. He is a very warm and engaging person and makes you feel right at home. I believe Robert does all the cooking, and hoo boy — the food! We had intended to hit Noah’s in Stonington for breakfast one of the three days we were there on advice from a friend, but never made it once we had the breakfast at this B&B. Each day has a different theme, and all were amazing. Our son also has nut and sesame allergies and Evan and Robert were very accommodating with options and alternatives.
Both gentlemen have a long familial history with the area (in fact, Robert’s a direct descendant of the original owner/​builder of the house). The house is filled to the brim with quirky pieces of furniture, model ships, paintings and so on — playing I Spy with our son was a ton of fun here.
We stayed in the Cupola Room on the top floor, which has a little walk-​up cupola with two seats and plenty of light. The room itself is dark and intimate, and has a great whirlpool tub in the bathroom. We sneaked a peek into the Veranda room and got a little jealous when we saw the light-​filled room and hot tub in the main room itself (but hey, our son was there with us, so an in-​room hot tub would be wasted anyway).
The grounds looked like they needed some work (a little overgrown), but they were still in the process of getting the place ready for summer’s peak season, so perhaps they have a way to go. We visited in mid-​May. I could see how the grounds and garden would be great with a little work.
All in all, we had a great time and felt very comfortable in their house. I would definitely recommend The House of 1833 to a friend.

This was my first B&B experience and it was a great one. Thanks to Evan, who was welcoming, pleasant and made some great food recommendations.
The food was fantastic (egg soufflé bruschetta was unreal) and offering 4 different types of pancakes.
My only regret is that I didn’t enjoy the Peanut Butter cookies.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the House of 1833 this past Saturday night in the Ivy room. The house is a handsome estate and must have been quite grand in it’s youth. That said, the house is old, which in my opinion is one of it’s most endearing qualities, however, if you are looking for pristine accommodations, look elsewhere, this house is charmed with age.
House 1833 is very densely decorated with period pieces, the antique’er, history buff, or a hoarder, will feel right at home.
The gardens are beautiful, plentiful, and adorned with fountains and ever more trinkets– they have a very ‘Secret Garden’ feel to them. In addition, there is a lovely and also well decorated pool. Ps. the free wifi extends to the pool area, should you need it.
The Ivy room, in which we stayed would be perfect for any narcissist as it hangs 8 mirrors, which are amply lit by upwards of 5 lamps, and you can sit comfortably in one of the 4 sitting chairs and sofa while you looks at yourself from every angle. There are also at least 3 clocks, numerous paintings, chests, chests of drawers, an amoire, end tables, dressers and more… oh and one queen-​sized bed with the largest headboard I have ever seen. The sheets on the bed are GLORIOUS, and upon laying on the bed I thought it to be most uncomfortable as it was extremely hard, but I ended up sleeping like a baby.
The Ivy room is one that does not have one of the fabulous large tubs that the Inn boasts about. I would suggest paying the extra bucks to have one as it seems worth it. This is not to say our shower was not adequate, but heck when everything else is so extravagant, why not have a whirl pool tub to top it off?! Oh, and the room was extremely clean with plenty of towels, and super comfy robes.
The Inn-keeper’s, Evan and Robert are friendly and informative and take every opportunity to give you some history on the house, it’s furnishings, and the surrounding towns and buildings. This is perfect for those curious history buffs. They also own a store called the Emporium in the town center which directly reflects their home: very crowded with interesting things to look at. Also, you get a discount for being a guest of the Inn.
Pancake Sunday: Evan is quite the enthusiastic ‘host w the most’ when it comes to breakfast, especially pancake Sunday. He bustles around w his apron and note pad eager to fill his guests with a variety of pancake combinations of fresh and local fruits, corn, chocolate chips, «the most New England addition, cheddar cheese», to be topped with butter and real maple syrup. They also provided one of the most delicious bread puddings I have ever tasted as well as a bowl of fresh fruit, a variety of tea, coffee with every condiment you could think of, orange juice and the encouragement to eat more.
The dining room is small, and densely populated. It reminded me of the Titanic. Why? I am not sure, but it was delightfully decorated with even more mirrors, and silly patriotic glam. In fact, there is a lot of patriotic glam all over the house. a strange combination of things, but all the same, fun.
One of my favorite things about my stay was hearing the frogs, crickets and whatever else makes the chirping at night. This could easily be drown out by closing the windows and using the central-​air, should you not prefer the sounds of nature.
Here are the high-​lights:
*They will accept one night reservations on a weekend which is something you will be hard-​pressed to find in/​around Mystic, especially with Inn’s/B&B’s.
*The resident dog, Buddy, is an absolute doll who relishes attention– however, Evan and Robert are sensitive to an individuals preference of dog-​human space.
*The Inn is in a beautiful area, is relatively easy to get to, and very close to everything you want to see in Mystic.
This is a great place to stay and I would absolutely do it again.

Came here on my 1^st marriage anniversary. The two owners of (I feel bad that I forgot their names) this place are wonderful hosts. The main host is very gracious and very personable. You can talk to him about anything. The other host do more of the behind the scenes work and makes the breakfast each morning. I would say that they, just being who they are, have made a difference in how I felt there.
The breakfasts are delicious; very gourmet and unique. And portions are large. They have two big, well behaved dogs that sometimes sneak into the dining room during breakfast, standing by and staring at your food. You can try to feed them before the owners shoo them out. How cute.
Each room gets their own bathroom and the bathrooms are very charming; has that old fashioned but yet updated feel. My bedroom, the Oak room, had a jacuzzi in it! I, personally, don’t care for the old fashioned heavy décor, e.g., heavy furniture, heavy drapes and wall decorations. But the fact that the room holds a jacuzzi, the owners admit that they prefer the mix of modern and old. You also get a fireplace! And on our first day, we were welcomed with a personalized carrot cake and wine. How nice.

My wife took me here for my birthday a while ago, and I have to say I was very impressed. This home is well maintained and though I dont particulary like bed and breakfasts, this place had charm and history. It looks like an old sea captains home with white pillars in the front and enters into a great front room. IT is very spacious and can accomodate a few different couples. WE had the first floor room and it contained a large post bed and a very large jacuzzi in the individual bathroom. Since it was my birthday, the hosts even put a balloon and goodies on the bed awaiting us. Cookies are laid out at night in the large kitchen and in the morning breakfast was very good, with all the trimmings. If you dont like bed and breakfasts you wont like it here. You sit around the table with everyone. THe hosts are very nice and even sit with you and chat. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a romantic getaway. Mystic seaport is right around the corner from this.
