Great place, with lots of history. It is interesting -- and manageable -- enough for all ages, including small kids. There's also a nice little nature center across the street and hiking nearby. The first time I went, I came with several family members when we were all visiting out of state -- only to be disappointed to see that it was closed that day. However, the Office Manager saw us peeking through the windows, came out and kindly gave us a detailed, private tour!
I stayed at Denison house the weekend of Nov 5 2021 with my family. We never experienced such a warm and and inviting feeling when we walked into the beautiful Denison House. The way the house is decorated is amazing and also extremely clean. It’s so relaxing there, no matter which room you choose to sit in. The beds were the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. The hosts thought of everything from raining day games to sunny day picnic baskets. We were fortunate enough to have a gorgeous weekend. Going to Clydes Cider mill was a fun outing and it’s very close to the inn. We also made our way to the shops in the village, that’s always a treat. Every time we went out to do something, we all had the same feeling and that was we wanted to get back to the Denison Home that made us all feel so relaxed and cozy. If I can manage to get my family together again for a weekend, we will be going back there. Thank you for hosting my family
Was just there for the Farmers Market. Don't try to walk to this place unless you use the trails through the woods. You'll take your life onto you own hands if you try to walk the roads/streets from Mystic to here. The market was small but had some good items.
This is a beautiful, historic place to visit just outside of downtown Mystic. Dating back to the 1600's there's plenty to learn about that time period. The farmers market on Sundays features some of the best produce I've ever seen. It's a great day out for the family.
This was a nice surprise off the beaten path of the normal touristy stuff. Happy tbat my inquisitive child took an interest, asked intelligent questions and was given detailed and informative answers. Staff is very very well schooled regarding the time period and people who lived there. Beautiful day for walking around and exploring the beautiful grounds. Recommended! Tip: Get directions to homestead thru map quest. The place is in the boon docks, but still a nice, relaxing drive.
Enjoyed our tour. Also had a very nice gift shop featuring books about Denison family history. Volunteers were knowledgeable and kind. Well worth a stop!
My husband and I visited way back in ca 1966- 7. The caretaker a Mrs Maxon was kind enoughto show us around. She was verynice and allowed me to wear a very old lovely hat. We very gently looked through the family bible. The odd thing was her son Bert was sleeping in a back room..long story short B ert married my younger sister. They are still married and reside closeby. We have been on return visits with all three of our children. GOD Bless
There were a lot of good vendors and a car show
Great recreations of period events. Tours of a wonderful old homestead at a very reasonable price. Very friendly docents.
Wonderfully preserved and full of history! I had an excellent visit and highly recommend taking the time to tour the manor.
