The Red Barn Bed and Breakfast offers 3 guest bedrooms, including a Suite that accommodates 4 people in 2 adjoining rooms.  All have private baths and central A/C, and enjoy wireless connection to the Internet.  Our Bed and Breakfast is a lovingly restored 1877 farmhouse that is on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, and is a designated Landmark in the Town of Riverhead.

Farms and vineyards surround our beautiful North Fork setting. Centrally located in the heart of Long Island Wine Country, we are walking distance from many wineries and a short drive to others on the North Fork. Red Barn Bed and Breakfast is just 2 miles from beaches on the Long Island Sound and 3 miles from the Peconic Bay.

You’ll never want to miss breakfast at the Red Barn B & B! We get free-range eggs from Ty Llwyd Farms and fruits and produce from local and organic farmers. Our 3 course breakfasts are all homemade including scones, muffins and breads to start, a hot entree such as Frittata, Quiche or Buttermilk Pancakes and delicious desserts like our Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler. Menus change seasonally to make use of fresh, local ingredients. All produce and eggs are local and organic whenever possible. We are members of Slow Food USA. Iced tea or Lemonade and homemade cookies are served on the porch on summer afternoons. Hot chocolate, tea or coffee and cake are served in the parlor on winter afternoons.

Proprietor Jim is passionate about astronomy and has an observatory in the backyard.  Jim will be thrilled to take you on a tour of the night sky.
After many years of using star charts and manually finding objects in the night sky Jim has recently gone “high-tech”.  The principal telescope is a Celestron 9.25 Schmidt Cassegrain mounted to a Celestron CGE mount.  The mount is computerized and is capable of finding deep space objects based on their catalog identification or by their celestial coordinates.

The eyepiece on this telescope is also “high-tech”; it is a video eyepiece.  The StellaCam II eyepiece is much more sensitive to light than our eyes and can “integrate” 256 video frames.  The result is a long exposure that makes even dim distant galaxies easy to see in detail on the LCD monitor.  If you have ever struggled to observe through traditional optical eyepieces, the power and ease of this approach will amaze you.
