Boutique Hotel
Well known by Montauk locals as Second House Tavern, Ruschmeye's is a groovy beach boutique by former Schrager protégée Ben Pundole and Surf Lodge designer Robert McKinley. The duo have collaborated to form King & Grove Hospitality that once managed both the Surf Lodge and Ruschmeyer's. Ruschmeyer's occupies a series of outlying buildings including the A-frame and glass lobby structure with camp-chic meets "nautical summercamp" theme. Ruschmeyer's is a playful but far from luxurious beach pad that includes a pool and poolside resort deck with paddle tennis and lawn games. Ben Towill and Philip Winser helm the in-house eatery, formerly of Silkstone in Manhattan, offering a locally sourced menu of innovative creations utilizing Montauk seafood and Hamptons' produce. Additionally, the hotel operates a scene-driven bar and micro-disco in the former property's speakeasy.
The Room
Cheap and cheerful rooms with a sexy surfer beach vibe and simple décor that’s low on luxury but offering a convenient Montauk crash pad to enjoy the property’s endless summer offerings and parties. Walking distance to the village and nearby surfing breaks, don’t be shy about bringing beach accessories and surfboard to make the most of the hotel’s low-key aesthetic and cool location.
