Editorial Review for Bassett House – by Gayot.com
The Scene
Built in 1830, this historic Colonial-style home features 12 distinctive bedrooms. Like so many of the neighboring houses and inns, it is painted white with black shutters. But this place is hardly an untouchable showcase. It looks and feels lived-in. Proprietor Michael Bassett cultivates a non-pretentious atmosphere and enjoys nothing more than spending time in his garden or kitchen.
The Details
The house is accessed through a beautifully tended lawn adorned with an old elm tree. While not the most hip or up-to-date, the living room is warm and inviting, with floral sofas and oriental hangings. Two of the guest rooms have fireplaces and one has a whirlpool spa. All are decorated with the owner's finds from his travels and antique yard sale wanderings. Pets are welcome, but make sure to mention Rover in advance.

Bassett House was our base for a fantastic three day trip to East Hampton. We got to visit two familys one in Bridgehampton and one in East Hampton. The location of Bassett House couldn't have been any better. We made an afternoon trip to Montauk which was not that far away. Michael started off our day with a country style breakfast along with insight into local history and politics. We felt welcome and given direction to restaurants and locations of events that were taking place. We have found lodging in the Hamptons to be a challenge. The Basset House has met our needs and we have passed this along to our friends. We are looking forward to another visit in August.
Pros: Location to town and beach

I recently had the opportunity to spend two nights at the Bassett House Inn on the Montauk Highway in East Hampton, New York. This was definitely a delightful visit for my friend from Washing State and myself. We were greeted by the owner, Michael, who made us feel immediately comfortable and right at home. The inn has numerous collectibles that the owner, himself, found over the course of almost thirty years. Such Charm!! Michael was always ready to offer information about places to see and go and how to get there. I would highly recommend the Bassett House Inn in Est Hampton to anyone who wants a comfortable, delightful, down to earth place to stay. I will return again this summer. I also wrote to the Chamber of Commerce about this Inn--/So Very Nice. Pat P. June '08
