A Private Estate That Feels Like a European EscapeWe just returned from a special family week at the Robinson Estate in East Patchogue, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this extraordinary home. Our happiest moments were spent gathered around the charming breakfast nook, drinking coffee and making pancakes, or relaxing at the Incredibly private pool. With all the lush surrounding greenery, we could easily have imagined ourselves in the South of France or Northern Italy.The nearby pool house was a dream—complete with its own washer and dryer, more towels than we could possibly need, and even a frozen-drink maker! The main kitchen was fully equipped with everything a chef could want, although we took advantage of the many delicious local restaurants and often brought dinner home to enjoy in the lovely formal dining room.Every bedroom was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The beautiful primary suite has a king bed; the Jack and Jill setup includes two bedrooms, each with a queen bed and a shared bathroom; and upstairs, there is another room with two twin beds, plus a bunk room offering several additional sleeping options. Every bathroom was generously stocked with fresh towels.A helpful note for guests with mobility challenges: the stairs to the third floor and basement were a little steep. But our pup especially loved having so much fenced-in land to roam. The Robinson Estate was truly magical. We hope to return again and again.
