The East River Suite Amenities
We have recently added small kitchenette units that include a single sink, 2 burner stove, and a large mini fridge with freezer. In addition, a portable rolling table unit with stools is neatly stored in the closet area but can be pulled out and set up in the suite for a small dining area or laptop/workspace.
Just behind the suite, you will find a newly installed private patio area that faces the creek. The patio has a gas fire-pit, toasty outdoor patio heater with string lights. Patio also includes a gas grill for cooking fresh local seafood or hand cut steaks from our local butcher.


The East River Suite is located in the “Bay Cottage” which is just a short distance from the main house with the Pool and gardens in between.
Guests have easy access to all common areas downstairs including a library with fireplace and cable TV, screened in porch, guest area with fridge, complimentary sodas, microwave, snacks, and ice maker. Guests have exclusive access to use of pool, bicycles, canoe, kayaks, and Stand-Up Paddleboards, (in season). Full specialty breakfast served each morning with locally roasted coffee.
