The Bevin House: A Living Legacy of Victorian Grandeur

 

Architectural Distinction & Heritage The Bevin House is not merely a place to stay; it is an architectural marvel of the Second Empire style. Built as the premier residence in East Hampton, the mansion features soaring 12-foot ceilings, original 10-foot arched doors, and expansive 8-foot windows that flood the home with natural light. From our grand central staircase to the meticulously preserved library—housing a collection of over 1,200 volumes—every corner of the estate tells the story of 19th-century prosperity.

The "Barn Experience" & Estate Grounds Our 2.6-acre gated estate offers a rare blend of manicured elegance and rustic charm. Central to the property is our historic 3,700-square-foot barn, a structure that once served the industrial needs of the Bevin family and now stands as an exclusive venue for intimate weddings and celebrations. Guests are invited to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of estate life:

• A Taste of Farm Life: Visit and feed our resident goats who bring a touch of whimsy to the historic grounds.

• Modern Relaxation: Unwind in our seasonal outdoor swimming pool, lounge in the hammock, or gather around the firepit under the stars.

• Active Exploration: Located just steps from the historic Airline Trail, we provide a hub for hiking, biking, and outdoor adventure, complete with e-bike charging and secure bicycle storage.

Unrivaled Hospitality & Local Flavor We believe luxury is found in the details. Guests wake to a chef-prepared, two-course plated breakfast, often served on our wrap-around porch or in the formal dining room, featuring seasonal ingredients from local Connecticut vendors and our own estate gardens. With boutique rooms named in honor of the Bevin family pioneers, we offer a personal connection to the past, paired with modern essentials like high-speed Wi-Fi, premium linens, and climate-controlled comfort.

More than an Bed and Breakfast, we are the stewards of a landmark, offering every visitor a seat at the table of Connecticut history.
