Remarkably, the Hamptons have escaped the drastic heatwave afflicting so much of the country this year. And, so far, the COVID-19 positivity rate remains low in the area.
Our staff, and most of the local businesses, are fully vaccinated but we still require masks indoors for all guests and staff. We have never relaxed our policies – we have just made them better! We wish to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible.

Suffolk County’s Northwest Harbor park is not far (5.1 miles) from the Mill House Inn. No Parking Permits are required. And dogs are welcome – on leashes. (Maybe you can let them off the leash when they are in the water with you – but don’t tell anyone I said so… and do clean up after them – please!)

In the winter most of our favorite restaurants, shops, galleries, museums and theaters are open. And no crowds!
The beaches never close, and there are exciting outdoor activities not available in other seasons. Just bring layers, the kids, and the dog! And then warm up with some of J’s coffee or Hot Chocolate drinks… A good book or a movie in front of the fireplace…

Please let me know if I have missed any or your favorites. I will be happy to add them. I know I missed many of mine!

One of my main criteria when deciding if I will ever return to a vacation destination is the presence of a great bookstore. After all, you need a place to learn about the local history, food, art, and culture of the area, as well as grab a couple of trashy local gossip books to take to the beach with you.
Maybe you want to find the perfect book for a snuggle-down with lots of pillows, wrapped in your duvet, in front of the fireplace in your vacation suite. A glass of local wine, a cup of our seasonal hot cider, or a cup of THCO drinking chocolate, completes my concept of heaven!

I recently received an email from Julia at SnorkelsandFins.com, a website advocating ‘Ocean Friendly Snorkeling.’ This is, indeed, ‘one of the most in-depth articles about how plastics are expected to outweigh fish in our oceans by 2050 and what we can do about the plastics problem in our daily lives.’
