We arrived after dark, right after a rain storm. With my son-in-law navigating ( we had not been to Sachem Corner before), we found Hinkley Ln. and wandered up to find Sachem, turned in at the house,opened the backdoor, stepped in and it was literally like being Home. Since we did not stop for food - it's a long days trip from West Texas, we gathered up and went back, a very short trip, to town to get a bite at our "first day on-island tradition" restaurant, The Brotherhood of Thieves.

Back to the house. My daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, Etta stayed in the cottage, the little house as per Etta. All reported "perfect" for their small family. My wife and I as well as my other daughter settled in into the two upstairs bedrooms.

The large living area was perfect for the later evenings when we were all together. The kitchen and dining was great and also large enough for everyone to sit down and have breakfast together.

We discovered that the house was built in 1935 and Steve told me that his grandfather had built it. We live in a house that was built in 1937 and although very different styles it was great to experience those style differences.

The back yard was secluded and a great place to soak up the sun but the front porch was my place ...any time of the day. In the evening the sun going down behind the trees and the morning was quite enough to hear the ocean.

Speaking of the ocean, the stroll to the beach is nothing. We did it plenty of times and Etta had someone going with her to "the beach" as many times as she could.

Steve, says he'd love to have us back, so we have it on our list for next year. My wife and I have been returning to Nantucket since 1986, but we only found Sachem Corner this year, so we may have missed some there, it is at the top of the list for 2018.

Thanks Steve!
