. The historic Jedidiah Hawkins Inn in Jamesport

I always enjoy a peaceful drive through Jamesport; miles of beautiful farms and vineyards, quaint shops, lovely beaches.  In fact, there is one place where for me, time actually stands still: The Jedediah Hawkins Inn, a restored Victorian mansion set on 22 acres, stands both serene and majestic, it is a breathtaking sight. 

Men be warned; it only takes a moment for the charming bed and breakfast to evoke the most romantic images in this woman’s mind: luxurious linens, oversized chairs beside crackling fireplaces, a graceful decent down the staircases, a brides train sweeping across the grounds.  Although maybe I should also mention that the new management is making an effort to lessen the formality and extravagance of your experience. 

The new streamlined menu still includes rich choices like Long island duck confit, seared halibut, and mustard encrusted rack of lamb, but the sportsbar offers typical tavern fare and the Captain’s cellar is an casual yet intimate place to enjoy the impressive selection of Long Island wines.  Rich in history, meticulous in detail, and newly outfitted with flatscreen tvs, the Jedediah Hawkins Inn offers romance everyone can agree on.
