About this house rental
This historic, rambling home sits on 13 acres at the end of a private lane overlooking the Long Island Sound and the Connecticut River. The views are spectacular with the beach just a short walk from the front door. Cherished by families for generations, this 9 Bedroom/5 Bath home is stately and elegant while being welcoming and comfortable for all ages.
The newly renovated kitchen with island and granite counter tops features two stoves, two refrigerators, two sinks and two dishwashers for those who love to cook and entertain. Dine with your family and friends in the gathering room, formal dining room or outside on the front lawn.
A large living room with ample seating has views both south and west toward the Connecticut River. Practice your favorite songs on the upright Sohmer in the Piano room. There is even a toy room for the little ones with games and many books.
For those who love the outdoors, take a walk, run or bike ride along the private lane. Grab your favorite book and a glass of iced tea and relax on the lounge chairs under the trees. In the summer enjoy cocktails on the North Porch as the sun sets over the Connecticut River. Many wonderful family barbecues have been enjoyed on the front lawn facing the Long Island Sound. If you are lucky you might catch fireworks across the Sound or on the River from the Adirondack chairs.
The twin bedroom and full bath, located on the first floor, are handicapped accessible. The other eight bedrooms and four bathrooms are on the second floor accessible by a front and back staircase. Each room is carefully decorated in a classic New England style.
You will find everything you need to enjoy a summer week at this classic home. There is a laundry room, outdoor barbecue grill, and outdoor shower. You can have a lively game of American croquet and bocce on the front lawn.
The scenic town of Old Lyme and surrounding area offer art and historic museums, stunning nature walks, shopping and access to the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound for boating and Kayaking.
Come make some memories.

Last week our family spent a relaxing, memory filled vacation at the Old House on Griswold Point. Our host Susan Armstrong was wonderful and left no stone unturned as far as being informative and providing us with everything one might need for a perfect vacation. The home is spacious and has an “at home” feel to it. We were 10 adults and 3 small children and there was plenty of room for all of us. In big groups we enjoyed gathering in the dining room or outside at the large table overlooking the sound. In smaller groups there was the Parlor or the North Porch. The little ones loved the playroom and it was stocked with blocks, books and all sorts of toys to keep them busy. We especially enjoyed gathering to relax or fish at the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to spend a week together! The icing on the cake was that our youngest daughter got engaged at the Old House last week! Our vacation at the Old House provided us with a place to make memories that will last a lifetime.

The Old House and Griswold Point was a fantastic place to spend a fun-filled and relaxing week with 13 family members, including 5 young grandchildren. We felt at home right away. We all enjoyed the house, the lawns, the beach and the rich history of the home. Kids voted it "Best house for hide-and-seek ever". Hope to return again !

This is a truly magnificent piece of property and my family and I had an unforgettable vacation. To start, the hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful...even welcoming us with a basket of goodies on our first day. The historic home is well stocked and we wanted for absolutely nothing during our stay. But most important was the sweeping views, the beautiful beach, and the feeling of peace that overcomes you as soon as you pull on to the point. I cannot recommend the Old House highly enough...I'm crossing my fingers they will have room for us again next year!
