Maybe it’s a sign of getting older, but I love going to top destinations in their off-season. You can experience the best they offer, minus the crowds and insane surcharges. A few weeks ago, we found ourselves in the Hamptons after a spontaneous invite from friends to join them at their vacation home. How could I possibly say no to that? The days were perfectly quiet, giving us a weekend to recharge, but we still got out and had some fun along the way. I’ve learned that a date night at the Canoe Place Inn is always a good idea, especially when good friends join you.
Welcome to the Canoe Place
The site of the Canoe Place has been a Hampton Bays inn since 1697. Since then, it has hosted Revolutionary War soldiers, celebrities, and presidents. Over 300 years of tradition and love have been brought into the revitalized space. Located on six pristine acres and across the street from the water, you can consider it the ‘first spot, out east,’ It’s a wonderful welcome to Hampton’s life. As you arrive via their fleet of new Grand Wagoneers, you’ll admire quiet gardens, an enviable pool, and an interior design that has perfected the modern farmhouse aesthetic. It felt like Ina Garden or Martha Stewart could appear at any second, and I loved every piece of it.
Drinks at Good Ground Tavern
We joined our friends at the Good Ground Tavern on a cozy winter night. This on-site restaurant at the Canoe Place Inn instantly creates a perfectly intimate feel. The cocktails (and mocktails) were poured, and we found a cozy spot next to the roaring fire. While plenty of other couples were in for an intimate date night, the four of us were laughing and exchanging stories in a way that only good friends can. There’s so much I love about this space, and the interior design may be at the top of my list. In step with the hotel’s colonial roots, the aesthetic feels true that but with a modern twist. Think rich tones, warm woods, and classic elements that will always stand the test of time.
This may be a shorter blog post than usual, but is still filled with so many freshly made memories. After a few rounds of drinks, we headed off to another local Hampton Bays spot. I know another repeat visit to the Canoe Place Inn will be in the near future. Whether during the peak summer season or in the quieter off-season, this historic hotel is the perfect home base for a stay in the Hamptons.
Love from the Hamptons,
Katie
