Girls Weekend
Review Submitted: October 5, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
We just got back from another great "Girls Weekend" on the North Fork. This was our second visit to this home and is was nicer than ever. The homeowner has made some outstanding updates to the property, both inside and out. The home is kept very clean and offers all of the ammenties that we could ask for, right down to the sheets & towels. It suited our needs perfectly and will certainly be back again next year. The location is fantastic and Bruce was a pleasure to deal with. What more can we say...we all loved it!
Owner's Response: Since you were here I installed a new front porch and lighted walkway to the parking area,all in brick and bluestone.....glad your weekend went well....BG
Comfortable Home with Excellent Backyard
Review Submitted: September 12, 2009

We spent a week in this comfortable house with four adult couples and a baby. The house is in a great, quiet location close to plenty of vinyards, roadside farm stands, restaurants, and the Tanger Outlet mall. The outside backyard patio / gazebo area was very well-maintained and was perfect for family meals, entertaining, and relaxing. The inside of the house was comfortable and warm -- it felt like home right away. The bedrooms were nicely decorated, and each room had its own TV. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The bathrooms could use some updating, but Bruce, the owner, indicated that he's doing some bathroom remodeling later this year. Bruce was very responsive and easy to work with through the whole rental process. We'll definitely stay in this house again next time we're in the area.
Owner's Response: Yes the bathrooms are in great shape but are builders vanities and mirrors,the toilets have already been replaced and the upstairs shower stall has been updated with tumbled stone walls and a new frameless shower door..The plan this winter is to remodel the down bath and put a new vanity in the up bath.I wanted to do it this spring but ran out of time as the house is always rented completely from June- September.Last winter we put a new central a/c system,a new Budarus heating system,completely remolded the kitchen,installed a new stone patio with a walkway to the gazebo area,expanded the gazebo area to include a new tiki bar,installed three new flat screen tvs(total four),replaced all the livingroom furniture,replaced the down stairs queen bed and mattress.
Great for Families

We spent a wonderful week in this property with another family. We all have small children and it is hard to vacation in hotels or resorts so this was perfect.
We, especially kids, loved the beautiful backyard which is maintained very well.
House was equipped with everything you need and then some and everything was in great working condition.
Location was great as well.
We would definitely come back again!

Though I've been blessed for the most part at finding nice vacation rentals on-line it's my preferred method of vacationing so each year I search and rent with fear and trepidation because I have had some real duds. That was not the case with this home. It was clean and quiet, amply equipped with everything we needed, great big screen TV's, close to the beaches and area attractions. The gazebo is beautiful and beautifully furnished. And Bruce, the owner, is great to work with and available if needed. If I go back to this area of the country, I would definately rent this property again.
Owner's Response: Glad you enjoyed your stay,when the US Open returns to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton come back parking is only 10 minutes away......Bruce
Well-equipped, comfortable, and BEAUTIFUL backyard

Just spent a wonderful girls weekend at this North Fork "farmhouse". We couldn't have had a better experience. The house itself had everything we needed, including a large, beautiful, and well-manicured backyard. We were pleasantly surprised to see a newly constructed lit walkway leading to the gazebo/outdoor lounge area. The bedrooms were clean and tastefully decorated and the kitchen had everything we needed for meals each night. The owner was easily accessible before we arrived and promptly answered any questions that we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property!
Owner's Response: I will be adding pictures of the new tumbled stone deck and walkway to the gazebo area as soon as we get a sunny day,hopeyou enjoyed the new 52" lcd tv.....BG
Great place! Perfect for wine tasting weekend!

We enjoyed this house. It was clean, had nicely decorated rooms, TV in every room, a few really, really nice tv's, relaxing and pleasant place to stay. We were looking for something close to the wineries and this was great. It's pretty close to the Paumanok winery which we loved and many others. Has a great yard although we didn't use it as much as we would've liked, as it was winter. It's great for warmer weather in the backyard but luckily we had one really warm day for the guys to be out and play some sports. Make sure to bring your toiletries though (shampoo, soap, etc.) some of us forgot and there are none laying around. All in all we really like this house, felt like home.
Owner's Response: Glad you had a great weekend.Since you left we have installed a new granite counter top and a new kitchen(white washed oak).Hope you come back to enjoy it.....BG

my husband and I stayed here two years in a row. we found it to be all that the site says it is. it is very well kept and in a quiet location, but with access to many activities. There is a very nice restaurant two minutes down the road , The Meeting House Creek Inn, that has excellent food and service. Kathy
Owner's Response: Next time come back in the summer the restaurant has a nice tiki bar in the rear overlooking the boats and bay....bg

The house was adorable! Very clean and well kept. The backyard area with gazebo is great, and a lot of fun for BBQing. Everyone slept comfortably and enjoyed their stay. Definitely recommend for groups of 10 or smaller.
Owner's Response: Glad the "girls" weekend worked out well....Bruce

We had a small celebratory weekend gathering. The house was very comfortable, and the kitchen well equipped, but the great feature for us was the huge manicured backyard next to a farm and a very beautifully planted and appointed outdoor "dining room" with gazebo and dining table for 10. there are also 2 wonderful gas grills at the house.
House was perfectly clean and the bedrooms very comfortable and cheerful.

We had a wedding at the Raphael Winery in Peconic which was outstanding. We thought it would be fun to stay in a house with the family. It was perfect. You really feel like you are in the country - the backyard is endless. The house is spotless, tastfully decorated, cheery, welcoming and comfortable and the grounds are pretty with colorful flowers and a wide variation of nicely groomed plants. The gazebo area is very nicely done and a great place to have a few drinks at the end of the day and the mattresses will guarantee a perfect nights sleep. The pix don't do it justice.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind words,I work hard trying to make the house as clean and updated as possible.The gazebo is also my favorite spot,watching the tractors on the farm in the rear of the house.
