History of the Inn
Harbor 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.
In 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.
