“This historic Victorian charmer on Shelter Island delivers a truly genuine getaway, with its beautifully redone rooms and the restaurant's balcony views over the harbor. The kitchen consistently turns out delicious food, from fresh seafood to well-executed American classics, and the staff, particularly those at the front desk, are genuinely kind and attentive. It strikes me as the best value for a luxurious stay, offering a cozy, quiet atmosphere right in the heart of the village.”
