Description:
Situated three short blocks from the village center, near the historic Vineyard Museum, the Edgartown Yacht Club, and the picturesque waterfront, Summer House is set back from the road in a quiet, peaceful setting. Built around 1850 in the style of a New England farmhouse and originally a carriage house, it was moved from its “up island” location in Chilmark to Edgartown in the late 1800’s.
Today it offers guests the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind after a busy day of exploring the island. Whether you choose the rocking chairs and cool breezes of the front porch, the café ambiance of the brick terrace, the tranquility of the spacious yard and shade trees, or the refreshing spray of the (hot water) outdoor shower, you’re sure to agree that this “secluded hideaway” is “the best kept secret on the island.”
Directions and/or Additional Information:
Inside you’ll find everything you’d expect in a comfortable, luxurious, retreat – from colorful patterned quilts and braided rugs to charming wall paper and a warm, country farmhouse look. The guest parlor features a small refrigerator, reading area and plenty of books and other materials for planning your island stay.
Upstairs there is one spacious and airy two-room suite with a king-size bed, reading chairs and color TV in the large room. In the adjoining room is a twin bed and private bath with skylight. The other guest bedroom has a king size bed, a ceiling fan, TV, and its own large and cheerful private bath across the hall.
Downstairs breakfast is served buffet style in the country kitchen which features original wooden beams, brick walls, a lovely teak table and sun filled windows overlooking the lawn and terrace. In good weather guests often take their food outside and eat alfresco in the yard, on the terrace or in rocking chairs on the porch. Enjoy fresh fruit in season, oven fresh muffins and breads, homemade granola, juice, coffee, and tea. |
