The space:
Tucked away on the north shore of Long Island, in the historic community of Miller Place, you'll find a pleasantly eclectic space we like to call "The Dogwood Inn". Our space is a little bit funky, a little bit fun, and very, very clean.

Generally sleeps 4, but feel free to inquire about slightly larger parties and use of air mattresses

Guest access:
Were located on a quiet woodsy road walking distance to regular civilization. The area we are in is often likened to a campground, and rightfully so as it was once a summer holiday retreat peppered with log cabins and bungalows. All roads in this pocket of town are single lane and heavily tree lined. But no worries - we have off street parking!

Interaction:
We live on site and are available to attend to our guests needs at any time. Though our house is connected to the Airbnb space the only common areas are the driveway and the backyard (should you choose to utilize it). We love to host and entertain, and consider ourselves very friendly, fun, and outgoing individuals. We own a professional cleaning company (so you can rest assured your space will be safe and sanitary). We welcome any questions or feedback you may have during your stay.

Getting around:
We are a short drive (or slightly longer walk) to convenient businesses like supermarkets, pharmacies, coffee shops and restaurants


The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The memory foam bed provides a full night's sleep and the bathroom offers hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Cozy inn in the woods

We loved our stay at the Dogwood Inn. We had the best of both worlds--a quiet, peaceful setting in the woods with Rte. 25A and all of its conveniences just a short drive away. This was our first trip to Long Island, and we fell in love with the general area, all the old homes in Miller Place, the great Italian food at Savino's Hideaway just down the road, and the tasty treats at McNulty's Ice Cream Parlor. Cedar Beach on the Sound was nearby, and we were only an hour (or less) from the gorgeous South Shore beaches. Port Jefferson was only a ten-minute drive from us and was fantastic--great restaurants and shops and a wonderful museum featuring one of Geo. Washington's spy rings. We didn't get a chance to enjoy all of the bike paths but hope to do so when we return. There's so much more to see!Natalie and Adam, you were terrific hosts. Thank you for making this lovely little inn available and for being so welcoming--the friendly conversation, the fresh flowers on our kitchen table, the fresh eggs! I would recommend your place to anyone visiting the area. We hope to return soon!

Great Location!

Great week in quiet location. The space was clean and cheerfully decorated. We both said best mattress ever!!! Easy communication with fast reply’s to any questions we had. The location was perfect for us as we were visiting family in next town. Only 15 minutes from the Port Jeff Ferry. Can’t wait to visit again!

Comfy for my Family of 3

Our hosts were helpful and responsive. They recommended the Suffolk County Farm and Education Center for my daughter's tenth birthday, which was fun! The space is happy and inviting, along with the neighborhood. If we find ourselves heading to Long Island again, this will be our first stop.

So much better than a hotel

This rental served as the perfect base for our trip. It was less expensive than a hotel room and gave us more space and more amenities. We spent very little time here as we were visiting family and probably would have found the space a little too small and under-supplied if we wanted to hang out there, but it was the perfect step up from a hotel where we would have had even less space and no supplies!
