Concierge.com's insider take:

Occupying a 19th-century house, but fitted with iPod docks and flat-screen TVs, the Mill House Inn's 11 individually decorated rooms strike an easy balance of old and new. The three suites in a recent annex have fireplaces and bathrooms big enough to ride a bike in: The nautical red, white, and blue America's Cup Suite has a gas fireplace, leather sofa, and private deck, while the Captain's Suite is furnished with Asian antiques, such as a 200-year-old mah-jongg table inlaid with ivory. Rooms in the main inn are equally plush—the Patrick Lynch Room, named for a previous owner of the house, is decorated with marble-topped tables and Irish china. (Five of the rooms are dog-friendly.) The breakfast menu takes slightly longer to read than the local newspaper—try the crayfish and andouille étouffée omelet, and heed the menu's warning about portion size. Though it's just a minute's walk from the center of East Hampton, there's a calming quiet about the place. Innkeepers and big-city expats Gary and Sylvia Muller are waiting with a warm welcome (and often, warm cookies).
