Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set along the Shinnecock Canal, the property offers a quieter gateway to the East End with ocean beaches just minutes away.
The rooms
Main inn rooms feature custom millwork and electric fireplaces, while standalone hillside cottages add private terraces, fire pits, and full kitchens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Striped cabanas and loungers surround the heated outdoor pool, with food and drinks served directly from the tavern.
The spa
ONDA Beauty provides clean-product facials, bodywork, and energy healing in treatment rooms decorated with hand-painted pastoral murals.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Good Ground Tavern
The kitchen cooks over an open cherrywood grill, turning out house-made pastas, stone-fired pizzas, and local East End seafood.
a mix of restored vaulted and domed ceilings remain intact in the common areas, while the relatively low bedroom ceilings remind you that guests past were of a different era.
At the table
The Study and Library pours craft cocktails beside a working hearth, surrounded by dark wood millwork and overstuffed armchairs.
How it began
Established on an ancestral portage site in 1697, the inn once hosted bootleggers and presidents before rising from a 1921 fire.
