House on Chase Creek

This was our second visit to House on Chase Creek, the first being in 2018. We stayed a couple nights at the very beginning of July as to avoid the rush of summer tourists. We were the only ones staying here those couple of days, so it was very very quiet! While we came to SI to bike around the island, it was so peaceful spending mornings sipping tea on the front porch swing overlooking the creek. Bill was a wonderful host as always, and his pup was a welcome form of entertainment! He was very flexible and accommodating. Coffee and tea are available 24/7. Breakfast is no longer served since the pandemic, but there are so many good breakfast options less than five minutes' walking distance. Bill has local restaurant menus out and is a wealth of knowledge regarding the dining options around the island. Our room was comfortable and clean, and the air conditioning was certainly appreciated! The bathroom was spacious in our room and we had a nice view of the creek. This is definitely our go-to lodging for when we visit Shelter Island, and we look forward to our next stay at House on Chase Creek!

I can't say enough about Bill and the House On Chase Creek, Bill was a great host who took the time to explain the room and all the other features of the property along with great Shelter Island food locations. The property itself is stunning and has great views of the creek itself and the beautiful scenery around it. I cannot wait to come back this summer!- James

I went to the House on Chase Creek by myself for the weekend, hoping that the remote location (only accessible via ferry!) would help me focus. I was right! You get a great deal for your money here, and the proprietor Bill is friendly and helpful, even giving me a ride to the ferry on my checkout date because it was raining. The rooms are outfitted with mini fridges and the downstairs kitchen has a microwave, which was helpful for me — I didn't want to spend a fortune on dining out and was able to fit the contents of a small cooler in my fridge instead. On top of this, my bed was incredibly comfortable and my room even had a bathtub. I had a stunning view of the creek and some of its bird inhabitants, which was an added bonus for me as a birdwatcher. Highly recommend this place during the off-season — the island is quiet, but lots of places are still open and there's plenty of good outdoorsy stuff to do, on top of its being a great place for me to get away and write. I'll be back for sure!

Boutique inn with 4 units is always welcoming and the location so unique. Beautiful sunroom offering coffee, tea, filtered water, oatmeal, coffee machine, half n half, glassware, cutlery, mugs. Classic old world Shelter Island vibe! Close to Dering Harbor and North Ferry. Walk on to ferry to visit Greenport on foot. Easy walking distance to many restaurants and the Carousel at Mitchell Park on water. Leave your car behind and $ave on ferry. Drive to almost any location on Shelter Island 10-20 minutes.

Can’t wait to go back. The House on Chase Creek was an experience that memories are made of. If you are looking for a tranquil and serene getaway, this is the place. Bill, the very knowledgeable and entertaining host, is welcoming and quick to give helpful info that will assist you in navigating the island. Our trip to Shelter Island and our stay at The House on the Creek are a definite 10 out of 10 and hopefully a trip we will make again.

Great location, we spent 3 nights. Bill was a gracious host. He knew all the best places to eat and what days they had specials. He is a long term resident of the island and was very knowledgeable and recommended different things to see. We spent 2 days hiking and it was a great place to come back to in the evening.
