Quiet 2BR Cottage for Creatives & Families — 7‑min Walk to Downtown

Summer Street MV - where the spirit of summer lives

Welcome to our tranquil A-frame lodge nestled in the serene beauty of Vineyard Haven, where you can enjoy destinations like The Black Dog, The Net Result, and Bunch of Grapes bookstore. Located on a quiet, pretty residential street, a brief walk from downtown.

Vaulted ceilings greet you as you enter the living room, which is illuminated by skylights and stained-glass windows rescued from a local whaling church. Perfect for artists, families, and those seeking a peaceful retreat, our hideaway offers a serene atmosphere. Enjoy the rustic charm and quiet of our space, thoughtfully designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you're reading, writing, or seeking solace, our cottage provides the ideal backdrop for your escape. Discover serenity at our A-frame retreat on Martha's Vineyard.

There is a great tradition of culinary arts in this house. Built by one of the Island’s well-known chefs, our family has embraced this legacy over the last 30 years that we have called Martha’s Vineyard home. We welcome you to expand this tradition during your visit. The kitchen features a 6-burner commercial stove and salamander (broiler) and lots of cooking amenities. We have stocked the kitchen with a French press and coffee maker, and a full selection of cooking vessels and tools so that you can cook your own breakfasts, local seafood, or whatever else catches your fancy. Consider hiring one of our recommended local chefs to cook for you one night in the house as a special treat.

The eating nook seats 4 and receives morning light with cool cross breezes in the summer. Sections of the floors throughout the house are made from old slate roof tiles, including some laid out in the shape of a fish (or the Island, depending on how you look at it) on the kitchen floor.

Two bedrooms are available -- a spacious upstairs bedroom with a queen bed, and a bright bedroom downstairs with 2 twin beds. The upstairs bedroom has a desk for working comfortably from home (or finishing your book!). Toddlers and babies are not permitted upstairs.

Exit the back door to an intimate shaded patio with a table and chairs, and an outdoor shower privately located around the corner in the wooded backyard. The yard is large enough to play frisbee or lounge around. Keep watch for the fireflies in the summertime, and lots of songbirds in the morning. We are excited to offer a newly constructed front deck, a great place to sit with your tea and listen to the birds.
