The Mill House Inn Rating: 4.0 Pearls

East Hampton, The Hamptons, Long Island

The Mill House Inn

The Mill House Inn is a charming bed and breakfast that is heavy on personal touches. Because of its size and wealthy clientele, it appeals to peace-and-quiet seekers rather than partiers or families with young kids. The front porch lined with French doors lends itself to a good book, and the vintage board games can be played while sipping an espresso. The grounds and rose garden also provide areas to sit back, relax, and get lost in the rich history of this craftsman home (it was built in 1790).

It is easy to drive right past this historic home on a main road in East Hampton -- but once you see the long row of French doors that open onto the front porch, it can’t be missed. The property lacks an oceanfront location or a pool, but has a serene setting within walking distance to all of the East Hampton action.

Rooms are unique in decor and named after a theme, such as the America’s Cup and Hemingway. Suites offer more amenities such as a wet bar, refrigerator, and microwave, as well as a more advanced speaker system and in-room breakfast option. All beds come with a signature black stuffed animal that represents Corry, the owners' dog and the mascot of the property. Because the owners are dog lovers, they allow four-legged friends in the suites that have their own entrances.
