After an active day of vineyards tours, visits to farm stands, the beaches, sports, the casinos at Foxwoods and the Mohegan, designer outlet shopping and sightseeing or a day spent at Quintessentials Spa indulging in a relaxing massage, aromatherapy steam bath, or European skin care treatment, guests join us for a Quintessentials Afternoon Tea. Before dinner at one of the fine North Fork restaurants, time is spent lazing on the wrap around porch or strolling in the garden to watch the sunset, always stopping to sit in our Japanese Fung Shui garden to restore balance and harmony within.

If you need to cancel for any reason 21days outside of making your reservation we will happily return your payment minus a $25 cancellation fee per room.  For weddings and other groups, cancellations prior to 30 days will receive a full refund of deposit, minus a $25 cancellation fee per room.  Because of our small size, cancellations affect us significantly.  A last minute cancellation gives us little chance of filling your room.  For this reason, we uphold a strict cancellation policy.  After 21 days, you are responsible for the full amount of the reservation and no refund is possible, regardless of the reason for non-arrival or early departure.  However, if we succeed in re-renting your room (s) we will issue a gift certificate valid for six months for the amount of the reservation, minus one-night's rate per room.   Spa Services booked must be cancelled 7 days in advanced to avoid a 50% cancellation fee.
