Stay in the Historic Whitman House nestled in the quaint village of Greenport

Step back in time while enjoying modern comfort at the Whitman House, a beautifully preserved 1825 home in picturesque Greenport. With its rich history tied to American poet Walt Whitman and his sister Mary, who lived here after her marriage to shipbuilder Ansel Van Nostrand. Greenport, once a bustling whaling and shipbuilding hub, has transformed into a vibrant seaside village filled with charm.

WaltWhitman would visit Greenport for summers, using the home as a peaceful retreat. In his Letters from Paumanok he wrote about the area. His writings captured the vitality of Greenport, a busy village centered around whaling and shipbuilding and great place to unwind.

This spacious, light-filled home blends historic character with bright clean modern amenities.

4 bedrooms (3 queens + 2 twins) – comfortably sleeps 8 guests.

2 full bathrooms (one on each floor) with shower, bathtub & hairdryer

Original details: pressed tin ceilings, bead board walls, wooden floors

Modern upgrades: AC, heating, WiFi, TV's and essentials provided

Living & Dining

Original 19th-century scallop shed in the backyard, stocked with bikes, beach chairs, and umbrellas everything you need for seaside adventures.

Just bring your bathing suit and toothbrush—we’ve got the rest covered.

Location:

The Whitman House is within easy walking distance of all that Greenport has to offer:

Bars, restaurants, shops, and cafes.
The Village has something for everyone, local farm to table food, great sea food and oysters, an abundance of local farm stands. The North Fork is famous for its wineries, great for a day trip or grab a bottle locally.

The carousel, waterfront park and numerous ice cream parlors keep all the kids happy!

The Supermarket and wine shops are steps away.
Seasonal activities like indoor year round roller skating and winter ice skating

Beaches are a 5-minute bike ride or 10-minute walk to town beaches, plus stunning private beaches just a short drive away

Much of the North Fork is flat and very suitable for cycling, if you are interested, we have bikes and helmets and we'll be happy to show you a few good spots to visit.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway or a friends’ retreat, the Whitman House offers the perfect blend of history, comfort, and coastal charm.

    Wonderful historic property with lovely gardens and beautifully decorated. The host was very responsive and welcoming. We had a lovely weekend with our daughter, our sons, and their partners for my nephew’s wedding on Shelter Island. We belonged to the Walt Whitman Historical Society years ago, before we moved off Long Island so that family connection to this property felt special to us.

    Lovely historical home with beautiful small gardens. Home was very comfortable and welcoming. Well stocked kitchen to cook in. Rachel was easy and responsive for answering questions and making recommendations. Spot on for options to eat. Definitely would come back. It is literally in the middle of town. Greenport is a great place to spend a weekend.

    My husband and I hosted our four adult children and son-in- law for a Greenport weekend and this adorable house could not be more perfect! There was plenty of space for all of us. The beds were very comfortable and the house was clean. We enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen and hanging out playing games. It was so nice to be so close to town - we walked minutes for shopping, cocktails and great meals. Rachel was a great host who responded to any and all questions and requests immediately. We would love to return to The Whitman House!

    Having been a North Fork (Greenport & Southold) resident for over 30 years, we always wanted to experience living in the Village of Greenport. When the need arose to come back to the East End with a party of eight, we found a large enough space in the perfect location. Our host Rachel, was always quick to reply to our inquiries. The home is a charming older home located within walking distance of Front and Main Street. There were 4 bedrooms, two baths, two living rooms, TV's galore and a full service kitchen and pantry. We were delighted with being able to all stay together. The garden and yard were waiting for warmer weather to burst. Enjoy!
