North Fork Bed and Breakfasts on Eastern Long Island, NY
Bed and Breakfasts
Bed & Breakfasts are plentiful on the East End. Though most don't offer "hotel" amenities such as in room phones or television, they all provide the welcoming environment for which B&B's are so noted. Some townships limit the number of rooms, so except for a few that have been "grandfathered" most have a maximum of five rooms. Many B&B's are historic and all of them are decorated beautifully. Breakfast, either hearty continental or formal sit-down, is always provided. Because the B&B's are also the homes of the owners, decor and offering vary greatly, so you really should read descriptions and check out the websites. There are stairs and there are pets! If you have never stayed in one, you are in for a treat!

A true Victorian jewel, Arbor View House was built circa 1820 by Captain Vail when whaling was a major industry on the East End of Long Island. The historical nature of the home has been carefully maintained by innkeepers, Veda and Wilfred Joseph. With a nod to the newest industry on The North Fork, Long Island Wines, Veda and Wilfred have named their guest rooms after wine varieties such as Champagne, Merlot, and Zinfandel. This juxtaposition of the old and the new makes this charming inn the perfect location to explore the past and experience the present. The inn offers wireless internet, and whirlpool baths in a totally Victorian ambience. Spa services are available so you can have a massage in your room featuring an old fashioned red velvet headboard. Walk to the beach, sip wine in front of the fireplace, or tour the wineries after enjoying a sumptuous breakfast. This B&B is also very close to Greenport, a true harbor village, where you can ride a carousel or take a harbor cruise.

A Walk in the Woods Bed & Breakfast in Southold is truly a hidden gem! Located on a secluded 11 acre estate, this Great Gatsby Dutch Colonial only feels like it's miles away from civilization.

Entering the main parlor for the first time from the wrap-around porch, I felt like I stepped into Scarlett O'Hara's Tara.

Relax with a good book and a glass of wine in the parlor or enjoy a game of pool at the regulation sized pool table in the library. Breakfast is served in the elegant formal dining room with continental style breakfast served in the adjacent butler's pantry. If you prefer some private quiet time, any of the guest rooms you choose will fit the bill. All have full private baths.
