A Waterfront Bed and Breakfast In Greenport New York

History of Harbor Knolls


History of the Inn

The Drawing RoomHarbor Knoll, perched on the shore of Peconic Bay, was built in the mid-late 1800s. It was designed as a gracious summer residence for a well-off Southern family. Harbor Knoll's understated elegance and warmth is due to its unique combination of Victorian and Dutch colonial architectural styles. Its relaxed refinement and impeccable preservation makes Harbor Knoll one of the finest waterfront houses on Long Island's North Fork.

Welcome LandingIn the 1900s, the house was owned by a few families, among them Mayor Quentin of Greenport and a niece of General Custer. In fact at one time, General Custer's uniform was stored in the attic!

The Miller family has owned Harbor Knoll as a summer home for the last 30 years. The house's décor and furnishings reflect the family's British, American and Irish heritage. We invite you to relax in this historic home. We hope its comfort and calm offer you a memorable, well-deserved holiday.
