The Candlelite Inn

The Candlelite Inn is a beautifully preserved 190-year-old Victorian inn situated on one and a half acres in the center of Shelter Island. Recently redecorated with care and an eye for period detail, The Candlelite Inn offers five guest rooms with private baths, central air conditioning, and a continental breakfast served each morning. The stunning wraparound porch is perfect for lingering over coffee or watching the island come alive in the early morning. Conveniently located at 3 South Ferry Road, guests are close to both ferry landings, making it easy to explore all of Shelter Island and the surrounding East End. The inn’s intimate scale and genuine warmth make it an ideal choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway or travelers who appreciate authentic historic character over chain hotel uniformity. A cherished Shelter Island NY treasure.
