Our New York Bed and Breakfast is located on the North Fork of Long Island. We’re close to the glitter and opulence of the Hamptons, but the mood is more down to earth here. The towns are small and unpretentious. There are more fruit stands than bars along the roads, and more antique shops than high-end boutiques. It’s bucolic here, and we like it that way.
Guests come to our Long Island, NY Bed and Breakfast to get away from the noise and bustle of the city. They come here for fresh air, windswept beaches, and small town charm. It’s impossible not to feel reinvigorated and rejuvenated after a few days here.
Our inn sits near the tip of the North Fork of Long Island. We’re surrounded by water and beaches, and the beaches are reminiscent of Mediterranean beaches. The water is clear, the sand smooth, and the surf gentle. Even in the wintertime, there is no better place to watch the sunset than from one of the nearby beaches.
When guests have had their daily fill of beach walking, many enjoy exploring the Village of Greenport, which is just down the road from our inn. At this time of year, visitors find inspiration in the many interesting shops located in that quaint, historic town. Several antique stores feature furniture, fine arts, folk art, hand crafted stained glass, nostalgic toys, and other fun items. A number of jewelry stores feature hand made originals as well as big name jewelry, and two outstanding stores deal in wine and spirits.

Indeed, wine tasting is a favorite activity out here. In the last couple decades, many of the farms on the North Fork of Long Island have been replaced by small wineries; and more than 2 dozen wineries are close to our Long Island, New York Bed and Breakfast. Northfork Wine Tours operates out of Greenport; they’ll collect you at our inn in the morning, whisk you away for 8 hours of wine tasting at various North Fork Long Island wineries, and return you here safely in the evening.
Come discover the North Fork of Long Island. Plan to spend a few days at our New York Bed and Breakfast as soon as you can.

Vacationing on Long Island and going to the beach just seem to be like peas in a pod. One of the favorite beaches is Orient Beach State Park. Orient Beach has 45,000feet of frontage on Gardiners Bay and the water is calm and delightful. It has been said that Orient Beach “has the most shells available at any state park beach” and is a shell-collecting paradise. Now this is an activity all in itself and a delightful way to enjoy the day. Of course, to make it a little more enjoyable there is also a bathhouse, showers, restrooms, and a food concession stand.
Visitors at the beach can swim in the bay, fish, picnic, play ball, go hiking or biking, and enjoy a calming walk on one of the many nature trails. Since this is a calm beach, it is also perfect for kayaking. So bring your own or plan to rent one at the beach. Bike rentals are also available, so not to worry if you do not have yours with you! However, the all time favorite thing to do is just sit in a beach chair and feel the warmth of the sunshine. Now this is summer on Long Island!

Spring in Long Island North Fork Wine Country happens to be the perfect time of year for a romantic getaway. After a long winter of being inside, those first few glorious weeks of spring are just perfect for getting out and enjoying nature and the countryside. The excitement mounts as the daffodils and tulips bloom and the gardens stir after a winter’s rest. The grass is now green and the leaves are ready to pop open on the trees. This is truly a refreshing time of the year and is Mother Nature’s rebirth of nature.
Birds that migrated for the winter are back and their excitement can be heard in the early mornings. It sounds as if they are as happy as the rest of us that spring on Long Island has returned and summer is just around the corner. The once vacant beaches are now awaking with activity as couples stroll hand in hand enjoying the feel of sunshine on their faces and the mesmerizing sound of the ocean as waves break at their feet.
Elaborate plans are not needed to enjoy spring on Long Island. It just happens!
