Wide-open doors, fresh linens, boughs of fragrant roses, and sturdy pine tables - simple pleasures like these beckon guests to the Mainstay bed and breakfast in the bustling village of Southampton New York. Built as a small, family-owned country store in 1850, the structure was expanded into a seventeen-room bed-and-breakfast over the years, but it still maintains a serene, country charm thanks to the loving touches of its current owner Elizabeth Main. "I wanted to personalize each room so that people would feel comfortable and easy here," says Main, who bought the Mainstay in 1992. To that end, she stripped down the tables and repolished them, scouted antique stores and yard sales to hand-pick treasures and sewed chintz curtains for each guest room. The result? "It's not perfect here, but it's definitely interesting." And that's what makes it feel like home.
All rooms are equipped with high speed wireless Internet at The Mainstay Bed and Breakfast Southampton NY.
