I've stayed at Homestead several times and keep returning because it is so special. Ralph, and all…read morehis innkeepers, go out of their way to make each stay perfection for each guest, to the point that individualized music is playing on the record player in each room. I have sat in the living room with friends and a glass of wine in front of the fire, spent hours in the chairs on the patio with family I'm visiting, and grabbed too many of the snacks that are always available. Hotels offer a place to stay and you go out and visit friends, but when you are at the Homestead, everyone comes to you because it is that welcoming. Not to mention the amazing breakfast. If I had to make a complaint, it is that I keep buying stuff after my visits, the latest being a towel warmer because, well, is there anything better? Trust me, it is that special.

I was transported into a different world of tranquility and peace. The attention for detail was on point. The owner Ralph and staff makes your stay like it's your own very home.

This castle is a gorgeous setting for a wedding. The ceremony was outside in the garden. Appetizers…read morewere served on the patio and the reception was on the main floor. I was happy that I ventured upstairs to see more of the castle. The velvet room was perfect for the bride to get ready in. The food was excellent. The highlights were the filet mignon cooked perfectly medium rare with fresh green beans and mashed potatoes. The Italian desserts that covered table after table in a large room outside of the bar was phenomenal. We all had s blast packing up a box or two for a special someone.

This house has the potential to be a great getaway! It is private and secluded…read more The house is in much need and continued upkeep. There was a very unhealthy presence of mold, both in the house and on the outdoor furniture. When trying to call to schedule a ferry outside of operating hours, you couldn't leave a message, but were told to call back. There is no air conditioning or ceiling fans and many of the windows did not have screens on them. The refrigerators are old and struggled to keep food cold. Toilets were recommended to only flush after a bowel movement. There was no electricity. The Generator wasn't working or not safe to put on. With continual maintenance, upkeep and attention, this could be a wonderful getaway.

We stayed at the Madison Beach Hotel for a long weekend. The service was friendly and hospitable…read morewith every staff member we encountered. The room was clean and very comfortable. Complementary water in our room and comfy robes. We had a balcony view of the sound that was breathtaking. Mathew at the front desk was welcoming upon arrival and took the time to get to know guests. He was always helpful when we had a question and took his time with us. Never made us feel like we were unimportant. The grounds were well maintained and kept up. Always saw staff maintaining the property. The property had a small private beach with overlook to rocky bluff. The hotel also has spa services for those who want to indulge in a facial or massage. On select Fridays the restaurant has a wine tasting and Al's hosts larger events. Lunch and dinner we sat outside on the covered patio with a beautiful view of the sound. Sydney was friendly and accommodating at dinner. The manager Anthony took good care of us at dinner for substitutions due to food intolerances. The food was excellent we had the short rib and steak frits with a beautifully paired Bordeaux. Lunch we had the crab cakes, house salad and smash burger. Our stay was just what we needed to relax and unwind. A definite revisit in the future.

The back story was not a good experience with making dinner reservations…read more I tried to make a reservation for 6 at 5 pm on a Thursday night. Open table is the go to from the website but there were no tables available for that time only 4pm or after 7pm. I called the hotel two times on two different days and was sent to voicemail where I left a detailed message including my name and number for a call back. After no reply from the restaurant or hotel my group decided to scrap the dining and just meet for the Grassy Strip Concert. I tried open table again to make reservations for 4 at 5pm but all I could get was a table at 4:30 so I took it. Arriving at 4:30 we found the restaurant pretty empty. We were warmly greeted and seated. We had excellent service, great food and beautiful views. Staff informed us that they could have easily accommodated 6 for dinner. Unfortunately the other couple were not with us. However they did join us at the table for after dinner drinks before the concert. We were surprised to see an empty restaurant that still had several open tables when we were leaving around 7:30. Their loss. So overall it was a great night, but the business better get on the ball with customer service if they don't want to have an empty restaurant. BTW I let staff know about my experience when we were there and afterwards sent an email. Guess what? No reply!
