Mystic Things To Do
If you’re looking for a quiet place to relax and melt away the stresses of life and work, consider the fresh air and serenity of the rural areas of Mystic Country just a short drive from Mystic. No matter the season, Mystic Country will offer bed and breakfast travelers a variety of activities. Reconnect with nature on any number of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, and walking tours. The Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center is a wonderful wildlife sanctuary with miles of walking trails and over 300 hundred acres of preserved wooded area providing the perfect setting for an afternoon picnic prepared by your bed and breakfast innkeepers. For a mix of history and culture, be sure to stop by the Denison Homestead Museum. If visiting on a Sunday during summer, you’ll find a taste of fresh, homegrown and organic treats at the Denison Farm Market. The winter season affords snow lovers with leisurely skiing and snowboarding.
If you enjoying being out on the water, ask your bed and breakfast hosts for assistance arranging a half day or full day fishing charter. Kayaking is another great way to enjoy the local waters, and some bed and breakfast innkeepers offer the use of their own equipment for free or at a very reasonable rental rate. For a more relaxing alternative, consider a sightseeing, sailing or whale watching cruise. If your Mystic bed and breakfast vacation celebrates romance, consider a sunset or dinner cruise. During the summer months, the sandy beaches are an enticing place to relax with a book and to soak up some rays.
For a different way to enjoy the scenery, lift off in a hot air balloon and discover the city from a bird’s eye view. What better way to take your Mystic bed and breakfast memories home than an exciting photo opportunity from above.
