Pat was an outstanding host. He was so friendly and was available with any questions we had. He gave us a tour around the property which was chuck full of history. You should really ask him about his viking ship and the many unique things that was very interesing. We would definitely love to go back... maybe next year!

This house is a dream. The views are absolutely breathtaking. Pat is an amazing host - helped us with everything from starting a fire to getting transportation arranged. We were so sad to leave and will definitely be back!

Mother & daughter weekend, we loved the sun room with its outstanding panoramic views of Peconic Bay. The property was huge, room for frisbee, a cool dip, wine sipping on outdoor patio. Inside had a cozy living room with farm house kitchen and plenty of antiques , each room with a different wallpaper.

We are a group of 8 women who rent several times a year on the North Fork. This gem of a home is definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed. The location is SPECTACULAR. The view of Dering harbor is just breathtaking. We loved being able to walk in to town in about 10 minutes. The home has plenty of VERY comfortable beds. * women were able to shower with plenty of hot water for all. There are lots of indoor and outdoor seating areas to accommodate gathering in large groups. The kitchen and bathrooms were all stocked with necessities (bath towels, garbage bags, paper towels, etc.). Pat, the property manager and owner was delightful and friendly. We loved knowing he was on the grounds if we ran into any trouble. We will definitely be back.

Great house, great location and the weekend was just perfect, weather and all! That’s a super host, and we enjoyed our stay greatly!

Found a gem! Beautiful charming farmhouse. Private setting in Greenport with wide open space for kids to play safely. Learn the interesting history of the surroundings during your visit. The gracious owner who grew up on the farm is most helpful and goes out of the way to ensure your visit meets all expectations!

We rented this home for a family gathering, and it was absolutely wonderful! The property was beautiful, and house was spacious and comfortable, and the host could not have been friendlier, and was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We hope to return to this very special place again soon!

Long overdue review. This was an absolutely wonderful getaway! The location was perfect, the house had everything we needed and was so, so comfortable. It was the perfect family celebration and was so convenient for us, especially with all of the Covid restrictions this past year. Pat was so thoughtful and helpful, and we all felt immediately at home as soon as we arrived. Can't wait to return!

This was probably the most special rental property I’ve every stayed at. Not only is the house completely charming and comfortable and huge, with many cozy nooks and corners to hang out in, it is also perfectly staged, sitting right beside the water with views from basically every room. Along with the most perfect sunsets. It is very close to the town of Greenport, but if you’re not wanting to venture too far afield, this is also the perfect property to hole up in for days – we didn’t want to leave. Pat couldn’t have been a more accommodating and generous host; another bonus was getting to meet him and get an authentic local perspective of what’s going on in the area. Stay here!

Great house and even better view !

We really enjoyed our three day getaway to this property. The house is a bit eccentric but in a good way. The downstairs rooms were beautifully and tastefully furnished mostly between the 1860’s and 1980’s. Beautiful but faded wallpaper and antique furniture mixed with modern pieces. The upstairs rooms are more modest but clean and functional. The grounds are fantastic with direct access to Pipe’s Cove on the Peconic River. The host is friendly and lives on site and happy to make recommendations regarding local restaurants and attractions. We had a great time and would not hesitate to return.

Great location, great beach and perfectly situated house. Had everything we needed and Pat couldn’t have been more accommodating with our group

Amazing rental experience. House was clean and relaxing. A beautiful walk into a great small town allows a calming experience. But hard to want to leave the property and views if you didn’t have to!

This is a totally unique property in an incredible waterfront location, close to the charming village of Greenport. Every room in this one-of-a kind house has a special atmosphere, from the inviting glassed in porch overlooking the bay, to the elegant living room with wood burning fireplace, wood paneled library, enormous chef's kitchen, master en-suite bedroom (with its own sauna) to an array of water view bedrooms upstairs, all with their own unique character and charm. This is a house to return to.

Such an easy house rental experience. Everything was as described, and everything was easy. Location was superb - close to downtown, wineries, etc. Loved the huge kitchen for cooking a big meal for everyone. Being right on the water is a treat. Loved it!

We booked Pipe's Cove for my wife's 60th birthday weekend. Everything is as good as it looks on the website. This is just an incredible property - large acreage, total seclusion, beachfront, and a view to Shelter Island. The house itself is historic, cozy while warm, and very comfortable - massive farmhouse EIK, separate dining room, living room and a fantastic all-season porch facing the waterfront. The 5 bedrooms were all good size, with the MBR being a Venetian style suite with separate rear patio. The house is indeed historic, and some areas may seem dated - but everything is high-quality, down to the wallpapers and dishes. The location is another big plus: minutes away from downtown Greenport and all the best of the North Fork of Long Island. Just a great locale and home to get the whole family together.

The setting, water views, beach and spacious house provided us, our children, grandchildren and chocolate lab a perfect vacation. We have stayed at multiple North Fork locations and and Cherry Lane Farm was by far the best. Pat, the host, was extremely helpful and friendly and the setting was stunning along with creating a community like atmosphere. The whole family can’t wait to come back next summer!

Just back from a surprise bday weekend. Seven girlfriends, great location, great property,, Pat so helpful, beautiful weekend , right on the water just beautiful,, will def be back

The word Shangrila is above the front door and is an apt description. We had an amazing vacation at Pat's place. It's so special and serene, we all didn't want to go home, especially our toddler. He is also a wonderful host, literally available 24/7 for any issues that come up. We look forward to making this a yearly trip.

Since 2014 my family has spent two weeks each summer at Cherry Lane Farm. If you’re looking for a place to get away for a week or two with your kids and/or grandkids, to sunbathe and swim and kayak, pick blueberries and raspberries, eat fresh fish and breathe clean air, I recommend Cherry Lane Farm. The Main house, separated from a private beach by a great lawn, comfortably sleeps ten and has a grand kitchen large enough for all to assemble and, should you wish, prepare meals together. The property itself is comprised of over seven acres of lawns and inlets. It feels miles away from it all and yet is a short walk into the lovely Greenport village. I’ve summered on both forks of Long Island, on Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and along the Maine Coast for the last forty years. There is no place like Pat Nelson’s Cherry Lane Farm. You have to be there to understand why.

Our family has been gathering on the North Fork for a number of years and have stayed in various properties. Cherry Lane Farm and waterfront estate has been our favorite. It allows us to have great flexibility for family meals and a wonderful setting that looks out on to the water. The kids love the beach and the watersports. It is close to downtown so you can enjoy Claudios and other great places in Greenport. Pat, the owner, is personable and has great suggestions for activities. He maintains the property and is responsive to any issues. If you want to build a family tradition of coming together and having great memories, this is the place to do it.

This beautiful home is right on a private beach with spectacular views of the Peconic Bay and Shelter Island. If you want to feel like royalty, book this gem. Lots and lots of room - 5 bedrooms, 3 baths - and luxurious furnishings - even a sauna. Walking distance to Greenport. We stayed for a week in 2014 and in June of 2015. What a treat!!

This is my dream vacation spot! Live like a celebrity for a week and get treated like royalty. Besides the outstanding property, house, views and endless activites for individuals/families.... the owner Pat goes out of his way to make you feel at home. Pat knows all the details of the towns and restaurants as well as all the nooks and cranny's that the property offers. Activities for adults, children or entire families to engage in without ever having to leave the property. The house has clean linens and spotless when you enter and Pat is always on the property for immediate assistance, advice, or great company. He is very accessible and responsive to any emergency's or immediate needs. Great to either relax with picturesque views or have the ability to interact with other families and form lifelong relationships! Enjoy the town, but have the ability to escape back in this "Great Gatsby" property. The overall experience makes you never want to leave and go back to the real world. A piece of heaven at the end of Long Island!!!.

This review is slightly belated, and written now as it's been almost five months since visiting "the Main House" and it's property and I'm going through serious withdrawal! We have been coming to this property regularly now for more than 5 years and I can say without reservation that it is a true gem, one of the most wonderful places we have stayed in around New York and even much further afield. The property itself is unique: while it's a short and pleasant walk into town, one feels very much secluded on the farm, resulting in a very real feel of a get-away from the hectic realities of every day life. The house itself is a haven: spacious, with several areas for communing with a group while also offering several nooks throughout the house for some peace and quiet. We have been coming regularly with groups of friends -- 4 to 5 families, all with young children -- and the unanimous feeling is that this is a very unique and special place. Where else can one walk a few steps from the house to a private and secluded beach; or BBQ just off of the bay; play frisbee in a spacious garden overlookign the sesa; or wander along a beautiful, natural marsh complete with herons? The owner has consistently been very friendly, responsive and gracious; we enjoy his company and hospitality and have enjoyed learning about the area from him. He has gone out of his way to ensure that we feel at home and that we have what we need. We have come back to this home time and time again -- it's something that we, our children and our friends look forward to, and we are already looking forward to our summer time visits!
