The owner is very friendly and helpful. He even upgraded the room without additional fee. The rooms are so clean and organized with nice thick towels and amenities. Free coffee and tea were available with a water server, microwave, and a little sink to wash dishes. The area is so quiet and peaceful although some good restaurants and ferry port are in walking distance. Highly recommended.

Even for Labor Day weekend, this was way over-priced at a total of $467 per night -- a small room with hardly space for the bed, and none of the ordinary amenities like TV and Wi-Fi (apparently in all four rooms) and breakfast consisting of DIY coffee. Making contact with the owner to check in was mostly for his convenience since we had to agree ahead of time to be there when he was. Returning after our first day we found the room had not been made up and were told he had "forgotten" to tell us we needed to request it since it had been made optional with (long past) Covid. Not an experience we wish to repeat.

We thought the setting was nice. However I believe we could have found another property with more amenities for the same price. We recognize that finding a place to stay on Shelter Island is pricey. We had the most problem with communication & the lack of interest in providing any hospitality.

So sorry to hear that you were disappointed. I am happy to refund part of your stay if you would contact me. I thought my rates were the least expensive in the area but I will review the other hotels pricing and adjust mine if I find otherwise. If you know of less expensive places around here I would love to have that information.

Bill the host is friendly and helpful, though no one was around when we arrived and it was 10 minutes before he returned my call. The house overlooks the creek in a peaceful, picturesque neighborhood. Bicycles are available for free outside. Room #3 was cozy and had a spacious shower stall.

We loved staying at Bill's place, which must be the prettiest house one the island. He recommended the hammock as one of Shelter Island's best features, and he wasn't wrong. We hope you go back someday soon!

First, the things we really liked: There is a beautiful view of the creek in the back and we spent a few hours just hanging out there. The house itself is quaint and very quiet, We couldn't hear anyone in other rooms at all (there was no TV in our room, I don't know about the others) and it's on a very quiet street. We were in room 3, which was small, but I could see that room 1 was large. The room was nice with just a few cosmetic flaws that didn't bother me, a few cracks in the ceiling and slightly peeling wallpaper in the bathroom. A few things in the room need to be repaired or replaced though. There's a small step on the floor before you get to the bathroom. Bill warned us to be careful of it, but I think a carpenter could turn that into a slope so no one would trip. I'm surprised on one has yet. The appliances are old. Bill had to unclog the toilet for us our first night there, so we had to leave the room in our pajamas and sit downstairs, so the plumbing could probably be better. The ceiling fan light wobbles when you pull the light and fan chains. I don't think it would fall down but that could use an upgrade. A full length mirror and a mini fridge would be great additions too. I would also suggest giving the guests flashlights, as the walk from the area where the restaurants are to the hotel is pitch dark. All in all, a nice, quiet place to stay

The location is so serene and beautiful! The house is located across the street from a lake/creek. Chairs and a hammock are provided to the guests. The house is in the beautiful historic section of Shelter Island. The house is charming but needs some work. The floor in our room was so uneven that we always felt we were walking lopsided. The furniture is old , including the mattress and pillows. Not comfortable at all! Also no television in the rooms! There is free wifi. There is a side room on the main floor with coffee and tea and some games to play. The owner was kind. Overall, our stay in Shelter Island was great because the whole island is beautiful! Next time though I will look for more modern accommodations.

Quiet, Walkable, Comfortable, and Romantic!
We came from NYC and if we ever go again we'll take the train, not the car. The LIRR goes right to Greenport, which is a walkable town, and you can then take the ferry to Shelter Island and walk to Chase Creek B&B within 10 minutes. The creek is beautiful and the house was exceptionally quiet. We used the window A/C to create some white noise. The bed was amazing and we got some of the best sleep we've had in a while. The check-in process was easy because he left the room unlocked for us with the key inside. My favorite part was hanging out under the full moon by the river right in front of the B&B. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

We went last weekend on a whim.…..it turned out to be one of my best getaway's ever! The location is spectacular right in the heart of Shelter Island and the accommodations were the perfect bed and breakfast. It is not modern but very clean and had a lot of character. We had a king room on the second floor, it was very nicely furnished. My wife loved the large bathroom and the AC worked great. BTW all the great reviews you see on trip advisor about Bill are all accurate....a great guy and he couldn't have been more accommodating. Great place to stay if you are looking for a quick getaway.
