An overnight stay was provided the night before and the night of our event as part of our booking and the room was adorable.

A gorgeous Victorian Inn, authentically decorated, super clean, pretty patio, fire pit, porch, lovely little nooks to read and relax, and each room has its own beautiful bathroom.

And the hosts, Meri and Marcus, make you feel right at home and go the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable. Private beach access 2 short blocks away - and the Inn provides your beach chairs & towels! Gorgeous river access at the back of the property too. Close to so much - The Old Saybrook Inn & Spa, great restaurants, kayak rentals, outlet shopping - PLENTY to do near by. (And I found out 2 of their rooms accommodate well behaved pets, so next time, the puppy will join me!) I can't wait for my next visit and excuse to get back to this hidden gem! It's great for couples, for friends, and for families!

The morning breakfast is such an elegant , exciting experience with fantastic food. This place is top of the line and I highly recommend. I have yet to stay at another bed and breakfast that tops here. Staying here brings you back to a different world making it a nice getaway. I've stayed twice now, once for my birthday and once just to get away. I got the birthday package and Kenny made the most amazing birthday cake and decorated the room adorably. Highly recommend.

We have stayed at many B & B's over the years and rarely find them to be as nice as the website pictures suggest, but Thimble Islands B & B not only met every expectation we had it exceeded them!

The breakfast could've been better. I'm used to a homemade breakfast when you stay at B&Bs. This was a "continental" breakfast. They did put snacks and drinks out for people to have during the day, which was a nice touch. The place was easy to find and they offered free bicycles to use. There were beach towels and things. You could use the fire pit and corn hole too. They also offered free kayak use down the street. No shortage of things to do.

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.

Our Hosts Veda and Wilfred were friendly and very attentive to all our needs. Beautiful well-appointed rooms. Incredibly comfy beds. Charming common areas with a lovely piano to play.

Just a few minutes from beautiful Southold, a short distance to many vineyards and just seven miles to Orient State Park. You will be treated to an excellent home cooked breakfast prepared with love by Veda. Each day Wilfred served us a big fresh fruit salad, OJ, salad with homemade dressing, followed by a yummy filling breakfast entre. The first day the entre was the best cheese omelet I ever had and sausage with home fries. The second day the entre was corned beef hash, biscuits, plantains, both days muffins, OJ and very fresh coffee. Veda is very accommodating to dietary concerns. When we were done eating Veda came out and we enjoyed wonderful conversations with both Wilfred and Vida. They are warm, interesting, knowledgeable helpful and welcoming hosts.

The space is stocked with everything you might need from a lantern and flashlights to tea and granola bars. They even had two chocolate bars for s'mores! How thoughtful is that!! There is a short walk from where you park to the location of the tree house (and the other units as well). Bert was AMAZING to help us with our cooler and luggage. Next time (and there will be many!) we'll pack lighter as we brought a lot of what they already had. Really just a change of clothes and some toothpaste is all you need here! The outdoor shower, located under the main house, is lovely and well lit. We showered in the evening before bed and felt very safe and comfortable. This is also where the sink is to wash dishes, etc. There's a gas grill as well as a Coleman stove in addition to a fire pit! The tiki torches around the fire pit area are a nice touch. The composting toilet is in a separate room inside the tree house with a door for privacy. The directions are clearly marked and once you get used to it, it's a breeze to use. The space itself was nicely appointed and decorated tastefully and sparingly. One of the days we were there it rained, and we spent the day relaxing, chatting, napping, snacking all dry and cozy in this little slice of contemplative heaven. Highly recommend if you just need to get off the grid for a few days, although there is electricity and fair cell service so you can still Wordle if you must. We're headed back next month, and the month after that,, and the month after that to try out the tiny house and the Octagon house by the brook. A full five stars for Bert & Nancy's Water Forest Retreat!!
