Located on a family-owned waterfront estate, The Gate House, a cozy 2-story, 2-bedroom cottage, is only steps away from the tranquil waters of the Peconic bay. Described by Walter Ansel of Mystic Seaport as "one of the last saltwater farms," the estate is not only picturesque, but is also an exemplary model of a traditional working farm.

Lots of natural light makes the house wonderfully cheerful, and gentle breezes from the water keep the house naturally cool. The intimate slate patio and sprawling lawn make for a great place to entertain friends and family. Stroll along the estate's expansive private beach or have a picnic overlooking the water. The beautiful tree-filled grounds complete the pristine view of the bay and Shelter Island, making the estate an artist’s paradise for all seasons. With room to roam and nature to explore, the property is both kid- and pet-friendly. The Gate House is peaceful and secluded, yet within easy walking distance to downtown Greenport Village, offering the best of both worlds.

With a strong nautical history, Greenport is a water-lover’s paradise and the perfect destination for sailing, boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing.

Mitchell Park Marina is just a short walk and provides transient slips by the day or week. Please call in advance for reservations to secure your spot.

While downtown in the village of Greenport, explore the local boutiques and stores. Take advantage of the history-rich Railroad, Stirling-Ireland House, and East End Seaport museums. Ride the antique carousel, or take a tour of the harbor on The Glory, an electric launch. Sample the local bounty from land and sea in a variety of restaurants offering casual fare to award-winning dining. Tour the over 42 vineyards located here on the North Fork. Discover the art galleries featuring local and international artists who represent the contemporary to the classic. So much tucked into one square mile, and all conveniently within walking distance!

Greenport, a short distance from Manhattan, Connecticut, and the South Shore means you don’t have to go far to get away. Enjoy a casual drive from the city, or let the LIRR or Hampton Jitney carry you here stress free. Either way there is something for everyone, so come and experience what makes Greenport charming and unique. For additional information about Greenport and all it has to offer, please visit the official village website supported by the Greenport BID. Make sure to enter Greenport Village in your search.

The estate also offers additional accommodations that when combined can be perfect for events or gatherings. Please visit listing #167288--“Cottage on Waterfront Estate” for information, and visit our website for additional pictures of the property.

                    My husband and I wanted to bring our 15 month old daughter somewhere that she could be exposed to nature and free to roam. This place was perfect! Having the beach all to ourselves was just lovely! Pat was a great host. He seems to love having kids around and even helped us to set up a bird feeder near the window and yard so that my daughter could "feed the birds" and watch them. She loved the birds and the whole trip! We will definitely be back.

                    We just returned from a great week and a half at the Gate House. The house was perfect for us - easily accomodated two adults. one teenager and a small dog, with room to spare. The property is beautiful and tranquil, with it's own stretch of private beach and lots of open lawn space. The owner, Pat, is very nice and gave us terrific suggestions about places to visit in the area. We had a car, but for a shorter visit, one could easily do without one, as the village is about a ten minute walk away. We were sad to leave!

                    Property is beautiful but house not so much. Very shabby, outdated and even though probably clean, didn't look it. No way could 4-6 people stay here comfortably. Only one bathroom, and bedrooms were both upstairs so not exactly convenient. Had to pre wash kitchen items since they looked filthy before I even used them. Definitely did not think it was worth the money we spent for the six days we stayed; the accomodations looked much nicer in the photos. The little interaction we had with the owner was not pleasant and he seemed very pre-occupied; not even a guest book or welcome cocktail upon arrival! Would not go back.

                    I have been remiss in writing this review. We stayed at the gatehouse over spring break 2011 and had a wonderful time. My entire family lives in Greenport and it was wonderful to have a spot on the water that my extended family could enjoy. The gatehouse is a charming seaside cottage with everything you need. The grounds are exstensive and private, wonderful for my two children and their cousins to run around and explore. Pat was very helpful and friendly. I look forward to staying here in the future!

                    A Timeless Classic!! My families stay in Greenport has become an annual tradition. We drive from Pennsylvania to take this vacation and worth every dime to get there. I enjoy allowing my toddler son to run the property or ride his bike for hours without any worries of traffic on this estate. Absorb the history of this historical property with a great caring owner who is always available to answer local questions such as places to go, activities to do, or hidden features that this property offers. A great relaxing atmosphere where you can meet additional families on the estate and share many common interests with adults and or children. Walking distance to the town and ferry to Shelter Island, but difficult to want to leave this property at all during your stay. Personally, I enjoy the "Family Time" educating my son about everything this property offers such as wildlife and the seashore adventures. However, also a great place for a adults to get away and visit the local vineyards/shops and relax with the amazing waterfront, sunsets and private beach this property offers. Once you arrive... you will never want to leave!

                    Ive been coming to Cherry Lane for abt 4 years now and look forward to it all year long. I have 2 boys now 4 & 7 whose definition of summer includes Greenport. Cherry Lane has so many nooks and crannies for them (and me!) to explore, and the Gate House has been a safe place to do so. It is right near town, but I prefer not to even leave the property! I love having other people around to share a quick hello or stop and chat. The Gate House has everything we could need and nothing we dont. It's simple, clean, so bright and cheery.

                    This is a very special and wonderful property. We have had two incredibly summer vacations there and plan to return for a third. The setting is very unique and suited to families or those seeking solitude. The owner is attentive and very accommodating. Walking distance the charming village of Greenport and accessible to all of the lovely North Fork and Shelter Island, the place also offers a stunning private beach. You may never want to leave the relaxing, laid back atmosphere and beauty of the waterfront property.

                    We stayed here while in Greenport for a wedding in June 2011. The house was really cute, the view was spectacular, and we had a great time. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and dishes and utensils. The sheets in the bedrooms smelled like fresh flowers and apples. THEY WERE AMAZING!!! I would stay here again for sure!
