Surprisingly great location. Cold Springs Harbor is a nice little village and the Captain’s Cottage is a short safe walk into the village. The Cottage is lovely; nicely decorated, exceptionally clean and well supplied. Very comfortable. We were in the area for an event at our son’s school. We will return to this Cottage!!

Here for our Daughter’s wedding and despite having limited sightseeing time we had a blast!! The house was very nice with a great view of the water and easy walking distance to downtown Cold Spring Harbor. Downtown Huntington was about a 5 minute drive away with plenty more action including microbreweries and restaurants. Our hosts were fantastic and we hope to get up there again soon.
