Cottage 1 is your own private oasis in the Hamptons, located at the Inn at Windmill Lane (23 Windmill Lane) in Amagansett, New York. This is very likely totally different than any hotel you have visited in the Hamptons as it feels so much like a quiet, treasured home-like sanctuary away from the maddening Hamptons crowd (whose zealous fans won’t even tweet about it so as to protect their secret pleasure from the masses!). With its seven suites and three cottages (daily rates for Cottage 1 range from $1,050 winter mid-week, to $2,100 during the summer months; other rates range from $375 to $800), The Inn is tucked behind high hedges set off from the main road just far enough to be so private that it’s hardly even known by the locals (just ask Tyra Banks;
Stevie Nicks; and other paparazzi-dodging celebs, as the Inn has been their choice of Hamptons lodging). You approach the Inn across its hidden pebbled parking area, then stroll down its meandering masterfully-laid cobblestone path to be warmly greeted at the lovely little gatehouse by Innkeeper Erin Harris, who acts more like a discreet charge d’affaire in a private mansion, ready to address (and deliver) your every desire to insure an enchanting stay.
The free-standing 1,666 square-foot tri-plex Cottage 1 has three lavishly appointed marble mosaic-tiled bathrooms with their solid nickel fixtures from Urban Archeology, highlighted by the master with its magnificent his-and-hers shower with rainfall heads fit for a king and queen. You can curl up in the soaring cathedral ceiling living room with the sun splashing through the towering clerestory windows, relax to music piped throughout the cottage with its Colorado vNet distributed digital sound system, and be warmed by its three crackling wood-burning fireplaces, or spend a rainy day wrestling with one of the custom hand-made Stave Puzzles, the Rolls Royce of puzzles as they are meticulously hand crafted and polished cherry-backed wooden puzzles that are totally unique to the Inn, as they mimic the artwork in each room, or retreat to its personal exercise room with a steam room and rain shower. If you feel a bit too confined in your plush Duxiana king-size bed, you can always snuggle into the cedar daybed on your private bluestone covered patio, curling up in front of its own fireplace to toast s’mores. With the Cottage’s very private grounds, you can feel free to sunbathe in whatever state of dress (or not) you please; no staffer will ever enter until they see you leave the property. This is the kind of place that is custom tailored for luxurious, languid, peaceful living, savoring the delightful sea breezes wafting in from the ocean less than a mile away.
The Inn is in the final stages of completing a brand new free-standing four-bedroom house, to be known as the 21 House, to which we were granted an exclusive private tour with Harris. With its four bedrooms, fully-equipped chef’s kitchen and all the other luxury finishes and touches of the other cottages, it will feature a glassed-in fireplace in the master bathroom king-and-queen shower enclosure itself. Think of it as a private luxury home with all the benefits of a lavish hotel.
