Cedar House on Sound B&B

Dave and Donna are as good as it gets! This is by far the nicest and best B&B I’ve ever been to and I was so proud to have selected it for a special trip with my Dad for Father’s Day weekend. My father couldn’t get over just how nice everything was there, but it wasn’t just the facilities, which are beautiful. The service we got from Dave was so thorough and accommodating that we felt like VIPs with a private travel agent angel who helped us to have the most perfect visit to the North Fork when we were there. He had maps for us which he marked with spots we should hit, and in which order, to maximize and optimize our experience to the fullest. There were snacks, coffee, water, a big pool table with beautiful cues, soft leather couches, a fab honor bar, a fire pit Dave set up for us in advance of the time he anticipated we’d be getting back at the end of the night, games for us to play, and the best location we could have hoped for. We were close to farmstands, wineries, and the annual Strawberry festival in Mattituck which is not to be missed! The breakfast served was creative and delicious and Dave and Donna made sure to have plenty my father could eat despite dietary restrictions. The awesomeness never ended and it just kept getting better! I can’t wait to come back and I will continue to highly recommend staying at Cedar House on Sound to anyone who will listen.

This is the best B&B we have ever been to. First, it is on a family vineyard and the wines are great.
This isn’t your typical B&B. There are five guest rooms in this B&B. And they are all spread out. We stayed in the courtyard 1 or 2 (both of those rooms are next to the dining room but there was a door which separated these two rooms from the kitchen and dining room.) our room was very comfortable and had a private bath with a shower.
The rooms have coded locks on them so all you have to do is remember your room code to get in and no worry about lost keys!
The house also has a common room with a large TV, plush couches, board games a small refrigerator for guest use, and a beautiful pool table for guest use. There is also a nice selection of DVD’s and books you can use while there. There is also a half bath in that area as well.
Beyond the the common room there is a lounge with an honor system bar and they sell The family vineyard wines. There is a lovely bar with lovely bar stools, a long beer hall table and a flat screen TV.
Beyond that are French doors that open to a seating area around a fire pit. They have Adirondack chairs around the pit and there is a fire nightly. They have marshmallows (so we found out after we bought our own) to roast in the fire. We met some nice people and had nice conversation with other guests out by the fire pit.
Donna and Dave are the owners of the B&B and they are just the nicest people! They made us feel extremely welcome and at home. We couldn’t be more thankful for that. Dave always asked what our plans were for the day and what we ended up doing when we returned from our day. He seemed genuinely interested in U.S.
The breakfasts (cooked by Dave) were phenomenal! We always went off on our day and a very satisfied belly! There was coffee several juices, tea available to go along with the food. Dave always had an interesting story to tell about how he came about the dish and told us specifically what we’re were eating. They do also ask about food allergies and dietary preferences. In that vein, I got a potato pancake instead of a mushroom cap in the breakfast one day because I do not like mushrooms.
We hope to return to Cedar House on Sound located in lovely Mattituck, Long Island.

We couldn’t have loved our complete experience at the Cedar House on Sound more! My husband and I rented out the whole B&B for a weekend in September 2014 for our wedding. On the night before the wedding we held a rehearsal dinner pig roast at the B&B and I along with my bridal party stayed the night and got ready there the morning of, then we stayed with select wedding guests the actual night of our wedding. Everything was perfect.
Dave and Donna are incredibly accommodating, fun and warm hosts. The house and grounds are impeccably clean and well cared for. The breakfast the morning of my wedding, as well as the breakfast the day following my wedding, was awesome! Our friends still talk about what a great time they had there. Dave and Donna, thank you for helping to make our wedding weekend one we will truly never forget!

My experience at this great B&B was the best. Dave and Donna were the most gracious hosts. They were very accommodating and attentive. The
Place was very clean and homey. Service was excellent and the breakfasts were fantastic. I immediately booked a return stay this summer.

I can’t say enough about how positive our stay was here. Dave was such a great host – fun, hospitable, and honestly the kind of person you’d want to have a drink with. He and his wife, Donna, are the ideal B&B hosts – not at all pretentious, just super down-​to-​earth people. The place itself was beautiful – rustic, clean, modern, and amazingly restored. It was really spacious, too, allowing people to socialize, but big enough for privacy as well. The on-​site bar was a really great amenity, and the wine prices are quite reasonable, too. The Cab Franc was very good and full-​bodied, and it was nice to be able to try Scarola Vineyards wine.
Dave made the kind of breakfast that you talk about hours later, which is exactly what my boyfriend and I did on the drive home. Twice-​baked potatoes, which Dave said was an homage to the farming history of the B&B. And, an incredibly tasty homage at that.
We’re looking forward to our next visit and have already started thinking about when to come back!

Love this place! My wife and I usually visit once a year since 2011. We went the day after our wedding to unwind. As usual the rooms were immaculate and Donna and Dave were so accommodating and friendly. We received a complimentary bottle of wine and upgrade on our room. We look forward to going back for our one year anniversary.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars… Absolutely loved it here! Ran out of the city for a nice wine country getaway and it was perfect and exactly what we needed. We had the opportunity to stay at this awesome B&B (Dave and Donnas home) and it is seriously gorg. The owners are so chill and we really enjoyed chatting with them. Dave is awesome and so down to earth he was so helpful in helping us figure out what to do. Our only regret is staying just for one night ! However, we will be back in the fall with another couple, plans are already in motion ;)… The cedar house has 5 bedrooms all with their own bathroom, and a few communal rooms– the living room w a pool table, the bar with a picnic style table inside and most importantly, the kitchen! At night we shared space around the fire pit with other couples and in the morning we all chowed down on some awesome breakfast together. The whole thing was just really relaxing and I would highly recommend. Next time would bring marshmallows for the fire pit and although they offer wine at 20 – 25 $ per bottle at the bar we bought our own from all the wineries we were at in the day time.

Gorgeous place, Dave and his wife did a great job renovating. Each room has their own bathroom/​shower, and the communal rooms/​spaces are great too. They are very accommodating as well. Would totally stay here again.

Serene, beautiful, comfortable with gracious hosts who offered suggestions when we first timers asked. We stayed mid week for a 2 day Long Island wine excursion. Would highly recommend.

The best place to stay, hands down, in all of North Fork! Dave and Donna are amazing and we always feel like we’re at our home away from home at Cedar House. The rooms are beautiful and extremely comfortable. To top it all off, Dave makes the most amazing breakfast! I look forward to booking my getaway weekends there several times a year.

Dave and Donna made our stay at Cedar House on Sound so unbelievably amazing. We arrived on a Friday afternoon and were greeted warmly by Dave and Donna and their beautiful children. We were surprised to see how modern and comfortable the Bed and Breakfast was. This is definitely not your grandmother’s B&B! The rooms are so nice and very relaxing – we wanted to take the bed home as a souvenir! We loved that there was plenty of space throughout the venue – we had a chance to play pool, relax and sip wine outside at the fire pit, and then just sit and listen to music in the living room. Every morning we had a delicious breakfast created by the lovely couple and they were very accommodating when it came to any food allergies/​requests. We had such a fun time and we cannot wait to come back. Everyone should always stay at Cedar House on Sound and be sure to tell Dave «Go Giants!»

My first visit to North Fork was made even more special with the perfect Bed and Breakfast experience thanks to Dave and Donna at Cedar House on Sound. Literally the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in and the breakfast was one I will long for until my next visit! In addition to the actually bed and breakfast, Cedar House on Sound is a spacious and beautiful property with hard wood floors and plenty of room to lounge, eat, read, relax and play games or billiards. There is an «honor» bar where you can buy bottles of wine from the Vineyard on the property and a wonderful fire pit on the porch, perfect for cool summer nights.
Many thanks personally to Dave who gave us a wealth of information on deals, transportation, great walks, dining options, wineries and more. He is a wonderful host and I will certainly be back to visit him and his family in their AMAZING home. I highly recommend Cedar House on Sound as I can’t think of anything that could have made the stay better! Thank you.

This review is long over due. I stayed at the Cedar House on Sound for my wedding last summer. We occupied 4 out of the 5 rooms there, and had an amazing time. The house itself was extremely beautiful on a picturesque vineyard, and each room was big, spacious, pretty (in a town & country sense) and very clean. The common room with the billiards table was a hit for my bridal party as we were waiting to get our hair and makeup done. The overall atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for. old Victorian mixed with country living. Honestly, the pictures on the website does not do the slightest justice for how amazing this place is. My wedding photographers were thrilled about the setting and our pictures came out like they belong in a magazine. Dave, the owner, was probably one of the nicest and most genuine person I’ve met. He hung out with my bridal party and I, telling us awesome stories about the B&B and really took care of us well. Not only was he an amazing host, he was also an amazing cook. Our breakfast was ridiculously delicious. My husband and I looked any numerous B&Bs in the area before we decided on Cedar House, and we are so glad we did. I’ve always had very high standards in terms on hotels due to the fact that I’m a publicist and event planner for a luxury retailer, but there was nothing I would have changed about this place. It was perfect.

Great place to stay on the North Fork! The hosts could not be any nicer and the room was great. We arrived early and the owner gave us a discount card for free tastings at many vineyards. In the evening we played a game of pool and sampled the wine. Breakfast was amazing! We had a wonderful trip!

Spent the night at Cedar on Sound for a bachelor party getaway in the North Fork region of Long Island’s east end. After a day of hopping from vineyard to vineyard, we came back to Cedar on Sound and enjoyed the rest of the night playing pool in the great room and having drinks at the bar (you can BYOB or buy their Scarola brand wine). You essentially have free reign in these areas, which provide a great atmosphere for any type of gathering. Bedrooms were very comfortable and wonderfully decorated. Breakfast served in the morning was delicious, and most important of all, the hosts are great people who make you feel right at home. Definitely recommend this place.

When we were here last April we took home some of their wine and just had a chance to drink it. Really wonderful Chardonnay, even my wife who tends to gravitate toward the sweeter side liked it a lot.
On another note, recently visited Ellis Island and saw the window grates that inspired the design of the label of the wine served here, its nice when you can stay at some place that has an interesting back story and then run across a thread of that story later.

The hubby and I only have Mondays off, so we called Cedar house up to see if they could accommodate us for a Monday night.
We arrive early in the morning and there was a very nice gentleman who opened the door for us and greeted us. He let us into this beautiful house and directed us to our room. After we put in our stuff breakfast was served. David (one of the owners) had cooked up a double baked potato for us which was delicious.
We stayed at the courtyard 2. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable too. The one thing I can say is that the pictures of the website do not do this place justice…
We were offered beach passes and passes to near by vineyards. We decided to go to Lenz (you get a free tasting for 2 when you stay at Cedar). We came back to the house at around 6pm to do a free tasting at the Cedar house as well.
The staff is very very friendly and accommodating. Everything was simply perfect.

EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED. THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY ON THE NORTH FORK.
Having a previous experience at an «unnamed B&B» in Peconic where the feeling was assuming, uncomfortable, uneasy, restricting, unwelcome, although it was nice — we were happy to find the right fit here at the Cedar House. We will NEVER stay at another B&B on the North Fork. I am not a huge B&B person, and after staying at the Cedar House, I have a much better taste in my mouth about the overall concept and experience.
If you are looking for a ‘new age’ type B&B where the amenities of modern life are at your fingertips (flat screen tvs, wi-​fi, Ipod docks, pool table, fire pit etc.), but where the classic, quaint feel of staying on a vineyard is paramount, then this is the place for you.
Dave and Donna are super welcoming, warm and friendly and when you spend a weekend here, you immediately feel like you are staying with your own family/​friends. We stayed here during a time when other family members of Dave and Donna were also in town, and we enjoyed the warmth and ‘family feel’ of the whole thing. It wasn’t old, decrepit and stuffy like many B&Bs; rather, modern and comfortable and very much like staying with family.
This is a great spot for people of all ages and interests because of the environment the host and hostess have created. We found the CH to be especially good for the «younger crowd» due to the ambience and amenities.
In my past experience at the «other B&B», we went out for a smoke and a drink after 9pm and we felt like we were children sneaking out of the house and trying to avoid the parents – very uncomfortable and not the way you want to feel when you are paying to stay somewhere; rather at the CH, Dave and his family will be right there drinking and chatting the night away with you.
A great place run by great people and we cannot wait to get back here. We are also going to make sure we tell all of our family and friends about this place and make sure anyone who comes to the North Fork stays at the CH. We also are looking forward to coming out here in the offseason with friends and «partying» a bit for a weekend.

The best place to stay on the North Fork — and it’s not your average B&B. so if you’re looking for that old victorian feel, keep searching.
Cedar House is a beautiful place; in both aesthetics and the overall vibe and atmosphere. It was recently built so everything is brand new. The rooms are clean, nicely decorated, each HAS A TV (and from my former experience at a LI B&B that is not standard), IPOD dock, a nice bathroom, and complimentary drinks/​snacks.
From the moment we walked into the Cedar House, I instantly felt at home. Dave and Donna are truly the best hosts; they make you feel comfortable, show you around the premises, and recommend where to go/​where to eat/​where to drink. They are a huge part as to why my boyfriend and I had a great weekend in LI. They made us feel like we were old friends, and because of that instant inviting atmosphere, we didn’t shy away from spending time at the B&B (again, the exact opposite from my last LI B&B experience). They have a bar on premises (where we got a complimentary tasting from the Scarola winery – the Mistura wine is delicious-​I even bought myself a bottle to take home!) and a great outside area with adirondack chairs and a fire pit. My boyfriend and I literally spent both Friday and Saturday night in that area and had the best time!
I cannot wait to come back to Cedar House – next time I want to get a bunch of my friends so we can rent out the whole place :) i would 100% recommend Cedar House to anyone! Enjoy it and spread the word.

About four times a year my husband and I travel to the North Fork to evaluate and taste wines. We have stayed at many establishments in nearly every town on the NF and this is by far the best experience, ever. Everything about Cedar House is perfect. Our two night stay was romantic, quiet and serene. If you are able to travel mid week and enjoy the quiet side of North Fork wine tasting this is the best time to go.
We stayed in the Tuscan Suite and the bed was so comfortable it was a challenge to get out of it in the morning. The linens are high quality and no expense has been spared in the construction of this gorgeous B&B. Even the closet had an automatic light! (which is solar powered!)
The breakfast is simply divine. Yum! The portions are huge and healthy. Our first morning we were served fruit salad, local fresh spinach omelet, signature home fries with sweet potatoes and toast with a selection of juices and coffee.
Our second breakfast was unbelievably delicious. Our first course was a perfectly poached egg on top of a slowly marinated portabella mushroom with local asparagus. Our second course was French toast with a local berry sauce. These meals bested the best breakfast place on the North Fork (which I’ll not name here. :). The only downside is that Dave does not cook dinner. If he did we would have made our reservations with him.
Our hosts, Donna, Dave, Livia and Heidi were the perfect combination of there-​to-​help-​at any-​moment to knew-​when-​to-​grant-​privacy. The way the B&B is laid out and constructed ensures privacy between rooms. I would love to return with a group of friends or family since this is the ideal venue for a get together for 4 couples.
One of the highlights of Cedar Sound is the tasting bar located right outside our room. We had the best time tasting the owner’s own labor of love, Scarola Vineyards wine. We polished off a bottle or two (I lost count) paired with cheese and sausage and at midnight were able to take 6 steps to our comfy bed. We loved the wine so much we took home a case and have been drinking it every night since. Like everything else at Cedar Sound it is crafted with care, skill, love and consciousness and it really shows.
Dinner recommendations from Dave were spot on, we visited both Amano and Comtese Therese. Lunch was had at the vineyards and we were really impressed with the selections at Sparkling Pointe.
Other highlights, great pool table, Keurig coffee machine in the Great Room with chocolate biscotti to boot, newly planted vines on site, ipod docks in rooms, free internet, and discount card to local establishments.
We will be back. We loved this B&B. Hopefully it won’t be too booked up that we can’t get a room!
