Condé Nast Traveler
Hotel Of The Week
"Shelter Island, situated between the North and South Forks of Long Island, has always had its fans—not least among New Yorkers for whom it's a two-and-a-half hour drive away. While it doesn't have the fussy appeal of the Hamptons, it enjoys a whispered allure, as an old-money enclave with a tiny resident community and a certain laidback, if manicured, charm. Open in 2023 for its first full season after a two-year renovation, The Pridwin aims to make a fresh impression, while retaining-and celebrating-its history as a Shelter Island mainstay.With 33 rooms and 16 cottages, it's also the largest hotel on the island. But its secret weapon is its location: Nestled along Crescent Beach overlooking the Peconic Bay, there's a sense of being tucked away into a private cove-and given it's built on an elevation, the views are stunning."

"The Classic Americana Getaway: Shelter Island.
It's a place where you can still ride bikes anywhere and everywhere, eat strawberry ice cream in flip-flops and jean shorts on a bench in town, and shop at mom-and-pop stores without a chain name in sight."
