This was our second time spending a month at this beautiful house in Southold. We love it. The house is gorgeous and so well kept and clean. We love being on Long Creek which is so serene and pretty. We saw a lot of bird life which was peaceful with our morning coffee sitting outside. The listing is completely accurate and the photos show the house as it is. Everything was so clean and there is anything you would need for a great stay. Wendy and John the hosts are wonderful and so responsive. Would highly recommend this property and we will be back!

We spent 3 weeks loving this place! If you want to have a brilliant experience in a relaxing getaway, this is the place for you!

We stayed at Long Creek for a month and it was absolute heaven. We would give this home more than 5 stars if we could. Wendy and John are amazing hosts. They are the most responsive and helpful people we have ever rented from. They were always accessible and willing to help. The home looks just like the photos and is beautiful. It’s airy and bright and you immediately exhale upon entering when you see the view of Long Creek. The outdoor setting is completely idyllic. We loved sitting outside particularly for our morning coffee and enjoying all the birds in the yard and the swans, egrets and osprey around the creek. The house is also in a perfect location. Feels completely remote when you’re there and then you’re only a 5 minute drive from Southold which is a great little town as well as a nice farm stand. We were central to beaches and vineyards. We did not want to leave and we will definitely be back!

My stay was absolutely perfect ! John and Wendy have a beautifully appointed home that has everything you could ask for. Their attention to detail made my stay with friends and family extra special. For example, when I asked about the bird feeders, they had a bag of birdseed delivered to the house the next day so I could feed the birds! I have rented several homes during the pandemic, and none of them can compare to Long Creek. I will definitely return to this 5 star home.

Our month-long rental was something we’d been seeking for many years, after several “suboptimal” summer houses. This house is by far the best we have ever rented. John and Wendy, the owners, have made every effort to equip the place with everything they would want for their own home—which it is. The kitchen is especially well equipped with two coffee makers and myriad sharp knives – an anomaly in a rental. The expansive deck, with BBQ below and large umbrellas, offered many hours of viewing the wildlife - many different birds and even visiting families of wild turkeys, with additional entertainment provided by Kona, the charming, playful mutt from next door (available only if you want her). The setting is gorgeous and we spent many hours kayaking along the creek and pond (the owners even supplied three kayaks – one double and two single). The house is centrally located with plentiful beaches, restaurants and farmers markets nearby, but the house and its surroundings are so pleasant that we were reluctant to leave often. We were so sad to leave and hope to return again soon.

From the moment we pulled into the property (and certainly when we opened the door) my husband and I simultaneously exhaled and knew we had made the right choice. We are from the Cleveland area and had never been to Southold / The Northfork and knew nothing of the area. However, our son was getting married there and we needed a home base. We arrived 6 days before the wedding and stayed 8 days after, and it couldn't have been a better home away from home/vacation place. Prior to the wedding, our son stayed with us and also my daughter, their husbands and each of their children (a 6-month old and a two year old). Not only was there plenty of room, John & Wendy went above and beyond in making the nicest set-up for the children possible and even offering suggestions on room configurations based on brightness and quietness of rooms. Beyond that, their home is simply beautiful. Elegant, full of light, comfortable, incredibly clean and tons of room for enjoying company or peaceful "just being". Great kitchen, living space, bedrooms, baths. Just perfect. And then, the icing on the cake... what great outdoor space! The deck is gorgeous, with 3 separate seating areas (or pull it all together for a big gathering space!) Expansive grassy area for games and shenanigans - and really lovely waterfront with a small beach and great place for kayaking or paddle-boating and doing a bit of exploring. We walked to breakfast (Northfork Roasting), we walked to a nearby winery (Old Fields) both excellent - and everything that we did outside of day trips (from rehearsal dinner in Greenport to reception in Southhold to dinners, shopping etc.) was between 1 to 3 miles away! A truly special place and the perfect home base for us. As I mentioned, we rented blindly not knowing the area and it turned out so perfectly, my husband says I should always just make the call and let him know where to be and when! :) John and Wendy were the best hosts - spent time with us getting to know the nuances of the house and the area once we got settled and even sent us a terrific Google Doc of recommendations for the week after the wedding, when all the kids had gone, and it was just my husband and I on an extended vacation. Thank you - if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. If we ever find ourselves back in The Northfork, this is where we will stay.

Wonderful 2 weeks! The house is lovely, very comfortable, and well equipped in all respects; the property is awesome - great water views of Long Creek, spacious yard, and peaceful! Loved having coffee on the deck in the morning and watching the sunset in the evening. The neighbor is nice and quiet, close to everything. John and Wendy were terrific hosts - so nice to deal with. Made sure we had all the information we needed about the house, the area, etc. And were very quick to get back to us when the occasional question came up. We hope to return in the future!

Love the location and property ... bring your fishing rod, you are right in the water. This area of the North Fork is great and this house is a good home base for a family getaway focused on activities by the water (several beaches nearby) and around Greenport/Southold. Owners were excellent hosts, responsive and helpful.
