 Truly Romantic, August 2, 2009
By Ellen & Bob Marin (Westchester County, NY)
While the upstairs could use some refurbishing, it is nevertheless a wonderful place for a couple in love.
 
 Wonderful hideaway!!, October 8, 2008
By Carol and Ron (Simsbury, CT)
My husband and I recently visited for the weekend and absolutely loved the cottage! We so enjoyed exploring the area and can't wait to make another visit. Carol and Ron
 
 Great getaway!, August 18, 2008
By Gerri and Steve (Eatons Neck, NY USA)
This was such a peaceful and tranquil setting for our vacation. Anyone wanting to get away from it all should come here. The pools, waterfall and beautiful wildlife make it unique and relaxing. We just left and miss it already! Gerri and Steve
 
 Lovely retreat, August 4, 2008
By Brenda Shockey (Salt Lake City, Utah)
We enjoyed a very relaxing week at this lovely cottage. It was clean and well-appointed with many lovely european style touches. The pools were refreshing and the ponds and grounds were very nicely maintained. The owner was very responsive to our needs. We will definitely return.
 
 "Your search for paradise has ended", July 14, 2008
By Diane Piegare (Glenmont, New York USA)
How wonderful to know that a luxurious accomodation in a truly natural setting still exists! The best of both worlds, the rejuvenation of a spa but not closed off from the outdoors, instead you are living among nature. Sounds, sights are so fulfilling . Walk to beach and returning for a dip in the pools. The covered patio was a pleasure, it was a way to enjoy the sound of the rain and still be outside and not worry when the sun would return. Even when you are indoors you are always enjoying a glorious view due to the mulitude of windows. The cleanliness was excellent throughout, top to bottom. A hot and cold running water outdoor private shower. Ahhh... or an upstairs bath/jacuzzi? That was my dilemma for the day.The lovely owners assisited us in any way possible to make our stay stress free. Books abound if you forget your own. The island itself continues the unhurried life style. We will return without a doubt. A+ Sincerely, Diane and Andrew Piegare Albany,New York
 
 Just one word "AHHHHH", April 21, 2008
By Katherine Stevens (Manhattan)
Even nicer then described, this cottage was just so [peaceful and relaxing, just what I needed in my escape from the city (NYC). The sound of the waterfalls, the birds and being able to open up the wall of doors made you feel as f you were one with nature. Great place for romance and located across the street from the water was the best, there every day. Highly recommend this property
Owner Supplied Testimonials
From a past Guest of Shelter Island Hideaway:

"Beautiful", that is what I said when the day I arrived! The day I left I asked the the charming owners to "please reserve this week for me next year", I am definitely returning.

Having the waterfront across the street was the best, as was the open air feeling with the 2 dipping pools, waterfalls and the pond. The grounds and outdoor areas were beautiful and just lulled me into the most relaxed state ever.

The worst part, leaving and heading back to work!
