The Lin Beach House 455 New York 25, Greenport, NY 11944

"After my last experience, I can happily say the Lin house feels like a home away from home when I’m on the North Fork… it’s not a typical version of a hotel, no, but a guest house, offering private suites in a beautiful Victorian house, rustic old world charm with modern convenience. The guest experience is more in the style one might experience when traveling in Europe then in the US. which I personally am completely comfortable with. It’s more then and air Bnb (my room was made up every day) and less intrusive then a hotel. On my most recent stay we arrived tired after a long drive…. it was late in the evening we were able to quickly & safely access our room without hassle. The following morning you can walk right into greenport for breakfast… no car hassle of you’re coming out from the city by jitney/train. This is not the “hotel” for a splashy loud experience and 24 hour services. (I’m personally not a fan of the American beech madness) This is the quiet romantic house with big cozy beds and claw foot tubs, (yes I’ve used them) perfect for a romantic weekend or some solo pampering. I have stayed here both solo and with my boyfriend on 3 occasions now with no incident or complaint. Maybe the Lin house isn’t for everyone, but I’m becoming a regular, hence writing this review which I never do! There’s no restaurant but occasional cool events hosted by the The Lin owners in collaboration with their nearby distillery… there was also a pop up from a local chef when I was there… The bar hosted a happy hour on my last visit where I was able sample some of their libations, while we picked up som insider tips from locals and business owners before heading into town for dinner. From what I understand the full time job of the owners actually lies in the world of cocktails, not hotels... and rightly so. The vermouth I left with on my last visit is almost gone!"

"This is a weird place. Nice room with lots of space and light, and the house itself has a lot of potential but there is absolutely no service, at all. No breakfast, no restaurant, no bar, no coffee in the rooms, no coffee available on the common areas, nothing. We didn't even see anyone but one person from the cleaning staff. The lack of amenities wouldn't be an issue if the house was in a better location but the closes breakfast restaurant is over a mile away in "downtown" Greenport. If you are coming for the wineries, stay at American beech or any other place, really. I would never stay here again, I will not recommend this to be anyone and my experience here will make harder for me to stay in another B&B or Inn. Don't stay here!"

"This review is for the Bianca Suite booked through Air BNB: Stayed at the Lin House over 4th of July weekend. Check in was easy, plenty of parking and the host responded quickly to questions. Located right next to Kontokosta Winery and fairly walkable to downtown. During our weekend stay, we didn’t spend a lot of time actually at the house so we made the Bianca Suite work but I would not stay here again or recommend this place to a friend. I would describe the Lin House as a neglected American Beech that is run by Ghost Inn Keepers. It showed a lot of wear and tear and had spooky vibes. If I wasn’t with my husband, I would have not felt safe staying here. The general store looked like it was ransacked, the bar downstairs was disorderly with fruit flies and the property overall looked beat up. Their IG is very misleading and makes it seemed like a cool loved boutique spot when in reality it feels closer to an abandoned property. I’m really confused by the good reviews from the previous guests. Definitely not worth the price. For the major quality difference, I would just recommend spending more and staying at American Beech or the Soundview."

"WARNING! Room was fine. However be aware that the place hosts events in the downstairs space and there is no sound proofing. The first night of our two night stay there was a DJ playing music so loud that in our second floor room, things vibrated. It was absolutely absurd. When we messaged the host, and expressed that not mentioning that this event would be going on was a major miss, the host tried to deflect, saying first "it will end at 10" (OK, but still absurdly loud), "it says in the room description there might be noise until midnight" (um, no it didn't or would not have booked it), and then "we stay up late" (OK, good for you, I'm not trying to go to bed yet, just trying to be in the room we paid for without feeling like I'm at the club). The next day, there was a half drunk glass of wine and empty beer cans on the porch for the entire day, nobody around cleaning up it seemed. Host also said there was nothing scheduled the next night, but that wasn't true. It wasn't an event with a super loud DJ, but the music was audible (especially bass) until about midnight. So if you want a room to relax after a day out and about, don't book this place. I think it's an event space first, providing a place to stay is an afterthought."

"Thank you for a wonderful visit! Beautiful room- we booked "Lillian's Room" - loved the fireplace, tall ceilings and overall natural light. Beautiful aesthetic and thoughtful design throughout our room and entire hotel. We even had a small terrace. Water pressure in shower was better than I have at home and no problem with the hot water. Unique and comfortable bed. Super convenient to village. No TV but honestly it was refreshing to spend real quality time. Will certainly be back. 5 stars. PS- not sure if bar is open due to covid right now, but we were able to pick up some items at the little general store there. Self check-in/check out-- super cool setup. Lianna Kosch"
