Inn at Mystic is a historic waterfront resort set on fourteen acres overlooking Mystic Harbor and Fishers Island Sound in Mystic, Connecticut. Once a private estate, the property has been welcoming guests for over fifty years and bills itself as Connecticut's most historic hotel. At the heart of the resort stands the Haley Mansion, a Colonial Revival home built in 1904 by Katherine Haley and positioned above the Mystic River with views extending to Long Island Sound. The mansion retains its original character — 18th-century pine paneling sourced from an English Duke's estate, hand-carved fireplaces, and Dutch tilework — alongside formal gardens, a waterfall, and a meadow pond that provide a natural backdrop for ceremonies and photography. A 36-by-36-foot tented terrace built of Polopai wood with heating extends the mansion's event season year-round. The Haley Mansion accommodates up to 230 guests for seated events or 290 for cocktail receptions, and has hosted formal celebrations for more than a century. The on-site Rocks 21 Restaurant & Raw Bar, a waterfront venue serving seasonal cuisine and 24 craft beers on tap, offers semi-private dining rooms suited for rehearsal dinners and smaller gatherings. Dedicated wedding managers and an executive chef coordinate everything from ceremony through reception, and 52 guest rooms and suites on the property keep out-of-town guests close at hand.
