ANDREW HARPER BEST INN Several grand public rooms distinguish this venerable Elizabethan-style property [7 rooms] from others on the East End. The decor is a glorious and harmonious mix of idioms, colors, textures and styles. A sunny breakfast room looks out onto a secluded garden that contains a small infinity-edge pool, next to which is a pergola draped with a splendid 200-year-old wisteria. TOWN & COUNTRY HANGING OUT HAMPTONS In the 19th century, East Hampton was one of the first towns in the area to open accommodations for travelers, and it still plays host to the most impressive lineup of inns, all of them beautifully aged and restored, on the same idyllic stretch of Main Street near Town Pond. At the head of the class is the Baker House 1650, which has just seven rooms and the most immaculate interior and grounds, including 200-year-old wisteria vines GREAT INNS BED & BREAKFASTS AND GUEST HOUSES One of the oldest continuously occupied structures in the U.S., the charming Baker House 1650 in East Hampton is among the finest luxury inns in the U.S. 10

6 REVIEWS HAMPTONS MAGAZINE INNS IN BLOOM Beautiful gardens enhance guests visits to a pair of east end getaways. The Baker House 1650 in East Hampton, revived by owners Bob Rosen and Antonella Bertello, is equally charming...

REVIEWS EXPLORER GUIDES A GREAT DESTINATION A Great Destination. This East Hampton Main Street mansion has been transformed into a very elegant bed & breakfast.

7 REVIEWS EXPLORER GUIDES A GREAT DESTINATION A Great Destination. This East Hampton Main Street mansion has been transformed into a very elegant bed & breakfast. The architecture and decor are in the arts and crafts style, and the fabrics and wallpapers were imported from England. Each of the seven guest rooms is generously proportioned and has elegant tiled baths (several with jacuzzis) and fireplaces. There's a lovely courtyard in the back that overlooks an expansive formal garden with an infinity pool, and there's an in-house spa. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL...the place to stay if you want to feel as if you have not only a house in the Hamptons, but your own estate. Tucked discreetly behind a stucco wall diagonally across from East Hampton's town pond it was opened a few years ago by the former owners of the nearby Maidstone Arms. The house was designed in 1910 by Arts and Crafts architect Joseph Greenleaf Thorp and incorporated an older 1648 farmhouse. Now it looks like an elegant but comfy country manor with all the amenities of a luxury hotel. Though it has only seven rooms, there is a new subterranean spa, only for guests, with one of those swim-in-place resistance lap pools and private massage rooms. HAMPTONS COTTAGES & GARDENS GUESTS RUNNETH OVER The Baker House 1650 in East Hampton comes as close to estate living as the real thing. 14
