Through painstakingly attention to detail, the Inn has meticulously preserved the graceful formalities of this distinctive period, blending American, French and English 18th and 19th century antiques with rich fabrics, fine wall-papers, oriental rugs and vivid colors borrowed from the New England landscape. Even the random width floorboards throughout the Inn are worn to a glowing patina only one and a half centuries of perpetual footsteps could achieve. The Inn is embellished with nine working fireplaces, a beautiful grand piano, private bathrooms, central air, garden room, drawing room, library, terraces and formal garden. The rooms are graced with luxurious finely pressed linens, down comforters and French milled soaps. We are within walking distance of many fine restaurants, charming fashion boutiques, cinema, antique shops, art galleries, sunny beaches, rambling bicycle paths, interesting nature trails and local historical museums.
Summer brings an abundance of cultural to the island.
Concerts, films, theatre, arts festivals, fairs, poetry readings and receptions are but a sampling of the activities. Autumn, winter and springs have special qualities, each with its own richness and reflection of New England's heritage. Inspired day's end with your choice of where to dine, and perhaps even a stroll through the narrow storybook streets of Edgartown. Evenings at the Inn deserve special mention for it is then the crackling fireplaces invite you to meditate in repose, nurturing happy new memories you'll cherish until you return again.
