Ridge is the quiet location on Long Island that remains a Gem. We are located 20mins from Splish Splash water park and less than an hour drive to the Hamptons. 5mins from Brookhaven labs. Our home has all the Summer amenities you will need to unwind from the city or just traveling between vacation spots. We are quietly establishing our place as the new standard for a BnB stay on Eastern Long Island. Our home is warm, welcoming and awaits you. We have 2 small hyper allergenic dogs and 1 African Gray parrot.
Fairly clean overall. Dogs do roam free in the common areas and do greet you every time you walk through the door. They are sweet but can be a little jumpy. Wayne is a nice guy who accommodates. Pool is shut down for 2025 but he compensated a credit once that was made known on day of check in.
We did not stay, because nobody was there when we arrived and we were not aware of a door code. When I knocked, I was greeted by two barking dogs. Not aware of their temperament, we left. We would like a refund.
Very nice property in great location and very clean and well appointed.I only have one con is having the the dogs among the guests, not everyone is a pet/animal lover .
We loved the friendly dogs as we entered the home and the owner was hospitable. The area is very safe with restaurants nearby. We would have preferred a guest house instead of a room within the residence but it was our 1st time and for 1 night stay. Thank you : )
We booked our stay here for two nights in July 2025 and were so disappointed. This property is not as advertised. The negatives:
1. I thought it was odd when the owner emailed us the entry code and said be careful not to let the dogs out. Turned out that the two dogs, although very friendly, stay in your space, while the owner lives upstairs! My husband nearly tripped over one that came up behind him. Since we had traveled all day and arrived very late we went directly to bed. At 10 pm we were awoken by their barking. This happened two more times before the owner brought them upstairs. Then we woke up to them digging at the floor. Not even sure what time that was.
2. My husband noted feces on the underside of the toilet seat and what appeared to be blood on the bathroom floor, which he took pictures of to send the owner.
3. The pool was not usable. The water was green and about 3 feet below its normal level. The next day we left at 7 am and called the owner to say we would not be staying and asked for a refund. He apologized about the dogs and said the pool had just got a leak and he hadn't had time to fix it, which is understandable if it were true. But as pool owners we know a pool doesn't turn that green in just a few days.
The positive:
The bed was extremely comfortable, but all the other negatives FAR outweigh that. We received a partial refund for one night. We have emailed him explaining we expect a full refund after what we put up with but have not heard back.
Itâs a room inside the house. It worked great for me that night. Only issue I had was operating the electronic lock to enter, I thought I was doing it right but it wouldnât work. Eventually I figured it out and was able to get in
This private home guest room was adequate to accommodate two adults but better suited for a single person. The hosts were very friendly. The room had a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and supplies. There was drawer space for clothes but only peg hanging space. The complimentary bottle of wine was a nice addition.
I had a quick in and out and it served me well. I was disappointed that the pool wasnât open as thatâs what attracted me to the place. Most notable: the abundance of air fresheners! Host was very responsive.
My husband and I needed a place to stay overnight, we had a wedding to attend in the area, Wayneâs place accommodated all our needs, the room is average size, fridge, freezer, chairs with a side table. The bathroom is clean and Wayne had little accessories you might need and forgot, shower cap, iron, ect. The surprise gift that came with the room (bottle of wine) was so welcoming. The dogs were very friendly as well. We highly recommend staying here and Wayne was so welcoming and nice.
Perfect for our brief exploratory stay near wine country
This stay was more exploratory as we look to do future stays in this area. The attraction of a long island b&b was too much to resist. I loved the stay and the dogs are very welcoming. Pool is well maintained. The area has many attractions.I loved the Riverhead Cider House but wine, farms and nurseryâs abound in the area. The host was great.
The host was incredibly friendly; her dogs were delightful too. The room was cozy and clean with a handful of treats and goodies with a mini fridge. Definitely a good stay, would recommend.
Thankful for the beautiful home that we stayed at, for a beautiful wedding of our cousins đ
Every aspect of this home, was beautiful, and the extra care of their thoughtfulness, will be treasured for always đđđâïž
