July in the Village of Greenport


Dear Friends & Guests,

 

This summer we are excited to introduce a few new exciting specials and packages offered exclusively at Harbor Knoll Bed and Breakfast. Take a scenic trip along the harbor coastline with our new kayaks and paddleboard. Enjoy a bicycle ride through the streets of Greenport by renting bicycles delivered directly to our property! Relax by a fire pit on our front lawn with a complimentary glass of wine. Enjoy a front-seat view of the local Peconic Bay inter-yacht club regattas every Wednesday. Or walk next door to the East End Seaport Museum on Saturday afternoons to explore the harbor with an exciting lighthouse tour of Bug Light! 

 

 

As the world begins to open back up, the local wineries are in full swing out east on the North Fork of Long Island. The wineries offer an ideal location to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and a glass of wine with friends and family. We are also excited to kick off the summer with parklet outdoor seating at our favorite restaurants. With so many options for outdoor dining, the village of Greenport has widely become mask-free! 

 

Your safety is important to us. At Harbor Knoll, we continue to follow all of the CDC’s COVID-19 regulations as we head into the summer. As per the CDC’s newest regulations, vaccinated guests are not required to wear masks indoors, although we encourage guests to wear masks around others. Harbor Knoll continues to follow social distancing requirements and no masks are required outdoors.

We invite you to experience the beauty of our elegant bed & breakfast, featuring a private, exclusive beach, outdoor heated pool, and dock.

Apples, Pumpkins & Wine...Oh, my!

 



The summer has been beautiful and we know it's hard to think about colorful leaves falling, apple and pumpkin picking and harvest time, but now is the time to plan. There may be temps in the 90s now, but before we know it, we will be breaking out our sweaters.

The North Fork is absolutely gorgeous in September and October. September begins apple picking and grape harvest at the vineyards. It's always a preferred weather season with dry, sunny days and cool breezes coming through the Inn's windows in the evening. October brings pumpkins, colors and fall flavors, along with a nostalgic chill in the air. We love each month for its characteristics and recommend a visit during either of them.

Even now, during a time of caution and social distancing, our local farms and wineries are doing a wonderful job of making provisions for customers. We definitely recommend searching where you would like to go and making advanced reservations! Scroll to see some of the views and highlights from the North Fork, in close proximity to the Inn at Harbor Knoll.

We encourage you to book now while we still have availability for the season. We are open for reservations through November 1, 2020. Book your stay today!

Kontokosta's Wine Tasting Room in Greenport is welcoming guests throughout the week by reservation. This place has fantastic views and great wine! 

 

Pumpkin picking is available at many farm stands and fields across the North Fork. Plan for a day of hiking through the fields, enjoying roasted corn and bringing home pies or other delicious local goods.

June in Greenport Village



Welcome back! We are thrilled to say those words after a few long months of closing our doors. Now, we are ready to host new and loyal visitors once again at the Inn and can't wait to see you!

June has brought about about many new things already. Not only have we re-opened our guestrooms, but our surrounding community as re-opened as well. Just this week, outdoor dining was added to the options at our favorite dining hot spots in Greenport Village. So, in addition to delicious, gourmet takeout, we can dine in a socially-distant setting outdoors at select restaurants such as Noah's on Front Street and Claudio's on Main Street on the Harbor.

Both have announced their outdoor dining beginning June 10th on Facebook and we are so excited. Claudio's Waterfront calls it 'Dining in Distance.' Perfect! Of course, if your favorite food is still only available for to-go, you can enjoy it picnic style with a view in Mitchell Park.  

In addition to dining, local wineries are opening for outdoor sipping as well. On the North Fork, strawberry season has begun. We look forward to fresh Long Island grown strawberries each year. You can stop at a farm stand to grab yours or pick your own. Click here for northforker's guide to local strawberries.

We know that many of you are eager to have a getaway and wanted you to know that Harbor Knoll, with its expansive grounds, can provide the space you need both inside and outside. Below is a list of amenities included with your stay at Harbor Knoll.

A full, gourmet breakfast
A complimentary glass of wine in the evening
Access to a full, licensed bar
Many private sitting areas including a screened porch, a large solarium and more
Full access to our private beach, gardens and a heated pool* (open 10am - 1pm)
