Boutique Hotel on Peaceful Shelter Island
There's not a single traffic light on Shelter Island. It's a sign of the leisurely pace that prevails across this 27-square-mile stretch of land situated on the east end of Long Island. Where the streets end, you'll find Mashomack Preserve, a sprawling refuge for hundreds of bird species. Located just minutes from the ocean, La Maison Blanche puts guests in prime position for enjoying this peaceful natural setting.
After arrival, you’re free to take out complimentary bicycles from the concierge. You can pedal past historical estates on secluded side streets or head into town to check out antique shops and art galleries. Back at La Maison Blanche, you can lounge on a covered wraparound porch or cozy up by the fire with a glass of wine.
The hotel has eight spacious guest rooms. When New York Times travel correspondent Donna Paul stayed in the king-size room, she lauded its 165-square-foot bathroom as "like being in a grand private home."
In the morning, you can gather around the hotel's wood fireplace to enjoy French-style pastries that are baked on the premises.
Shelter Island, New York: Coastal Wilderness Refuge and Victorian Homes
Nearly one-third of Shelter Island is set aside for Mashomack Preserve, which covers 2,100 acres of meadows, salt marshes, and oak forest. You can pass through the preserve only on foot, but it's fine to take it slow here—you might spot ospreys or snowy egrets roosting along the refuge's 10 miles of pristine coastline.
Walking through Shelter Island Heights—located 4 miles away on the island's west end—can feel like stepping into an idyllic past. Queen Anne– and Victorian-style houses and storefronts line the quiet streets, and historical residences such as Havens House feature period furnishings and antique fishing equipment. After exploring the town, step into a harbor bar, where you can dine on freshly caught lobster, scallops, or striped bass.
