Long Island Bed & Breakfast North Fork New York Wineries & Spa Services
Description
This house was built early in the 19th century (circa 1820) and was originally in the Federal style. In 1873 it was purchased, added to and renovated in the then current Victorian manner by Captain Vail. This is one of three remaining houses built or renovated by whaling Captains in East Marion, originally called Little Oysterpond. The captain and his wife are buried in the local cemetery along with many other Vails. The house has had some unusual artifacts including a widow's walk (might have blown away in the big hurricane of 1938), and huge cistern under the kitchen that used to collect rain-water which was then pumped up to the kitchen and two old grape vines. Veda and Wilfred tried to make wine and decided that it's much easier to partake of the fine award winning wineries in the area.
Arbor View House is listed by the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities (SPLIA) and is considered to be a fine example of Victorian architecture. It has been lovingly restored and renovated, preserving its artifacts and replacing any that may have been removed; the restoration is continuing as we speak. This is a work in progress. The innkeepers, Veda Daley Joseph and Wilfred Joseph, have done a masterful job of restoring this old house to its former glory. Wilfred, who has restored several old homes including one other Captain's home in the area has made this his proudest project yet. The house is completely updated for the twenty-first century with all the creature comforts (including high speed wireless internet) needed to make this home truly a work of art but not a museum piece. It is comfortable and elegant; your home away from home. Wilfred also sells real estate, so if you're in the market for a second home, your dream home or want a piece of land to hold, contact Wilfred.
Veda and Wilfred set out create a number of things when they started, first they wanted to make sure that you were comfortable and were able to relax, recharge and renew your body, mind and spirit. They also wanted to be sure that romance was in the air. Therefore there had to be some needs met. An attractive place yet not so stuffy or uncomfortable that it made you feel out of place, romantic yet not soppy. So they chose colors, fabrics and furniture that create that soothing, warm yet alive ambiance. The beds had to be comfortable, firm yet soft to enable and ensure a good night's sleep. They choose hypoallergenic fabrics and fillers that even the hypersensitive will not have a reaction. The food is comfort food and then some surprises. Veda is an excellent cook and puts her heart and soul into her food and presentation. it's all designed to make you feel at home yet not at your mom's place. Then there are the Spa Services (massages, facials and the delicious aromatherapy bath)- these are not only designed to reinvigorate and recharge the systems and senses, but to reconnect your body to your spirit.
