Relax at this retreat in the woods when you are not spending time on Lucy Vincent Beach or enjoying the sunset down the road in Menemsha. Surrounded by stone walls and walking paths over 20 acres of woods, this spacious three bedroom house is next to a stream (with a campfire ring) and is cut off from the world down a quarter-mile driveway. After a day on the deck or at the beach, enjoy the rustic outdoor shower.

If you are looking for a private spot, this secluded retreat with lush greenery and simple elegance will rejuvenate your spirits. A long private driveway leads to ample parking for this charming New England house.

This light filled home with wide open spaces sleeps 6. The main level includes a master bedroom with a queen size bed, a quiet room with futon couch surrounded by a library, and a bathroom with a full size tub. The open floor plan includes a spacious and sunny living room with various couches and a cozy stove for the occasional cool nights, a piano, a large dining room table, and an open kitchen with a new fridge, earthen dishware, coffeemaker, microwave, blender, toaster, and a fondue set. The entryway stores all shoes and coats out of the way. A separate laundry room with washer and dryer is well stocked with environmentally-friendly laundry detergent. In a hallway closet, a sound system harbors many vinyl records and is connected to speakers in the main room. The second floor has two bedrooms, one with a queen size bed, another room with two twin beds. There is a second bathroom with a step-in shower.

The outdoor living space is breathtaking, comprised of a deck off the kitchen, with a large table and seating for 6, a grill, enclosed hot and cold outdoor shower, and a large lawn area. Our hammock is ideal for an afternoon nap or diving into one of the many books from the house. A tire swing brings playful charm. Interesting mossy stone walls border the lawn area to the wild wooded area beyond. A few steps into the woods, a trail leads to a stream and benches around a fire ring fit for a cozy campfire and perfect for s'mores and singalongs. Trails and a small foot bridge across a bubbling stream are ideal for contemplative walks.

This property is only minutes away from Menemsha Beach with its famous sunsets, Lucy Vincent Beach, the Chilmark public library with many public programs for all ages, and a short drive to the legendary West Tisbury General store. Art galleries, town beaches and many restaurants nearby will keep everyone entertained. Short drive to Cronig’s supermarket.

We use only environmentally friendly cleaning supplies, allergen free bedding and have all hardwood floors. A small flock of guineas keep any ticks and mosquitoes away from the house!

Renters are eligible for passes to Lucy Vincent Beach. Beach towels included.

    We appreciated (among many other things) that the hosts are the owners, are nearby, and were very responsive.

    Nan and Warren are great hosts. Love the welcome note and flowers, a very nice touch. The house guidebook was very helpful. We hope to be back soon.

    Check in was flawless. The house was ready, hosts had already communicated with us directions. The house was spotless, spacious and filled with amenities, including a piano, state of the art sound system (we preferred the quiet TBH). The kitchen was complete with high quality cookware, tools, microwave, toaster. oven, cousin art etc etc. We greatly appreciated the hospitality of Nan who answered any/every question promptly. Outdoor shower a plus (spotlessly clean) and note that the house stays cool day and night, with cross breezes, we used AC only one night.

    This is perfect Martha’s Vineyard hideaway. Great location, comfortable, clean, well appointed, simple, beautiful home on secluded, mature land. Easy to reach Menemsha, Chilmark, West Tisbury, and Lucy Vincent Beach.

    Nan and Warren were excellent hosts, easy to contact and gracious in sharing their loving home. A perfect location if you love the quiet side of the island, my wife and I are looking forward to a return trip in 2026!

    The house was just as described - secluded, clean and perfectly situated both on MV and within Chilmark. We had the best week relaxing on the hammock, enjoying the deck and taking advantage of the nearby beaches and stunning hikes. A couple small things I really appreciated were the beach chairs, filtered water so not using water bottles and the Air Doctor to eliminate any stuffy air. Every room had a fan in the closet with I especially loved since o have a hard time sleeping without circulating air and white noise. We also loved the kids toys and plethora of books for both us and the kids. We had a chance to meet the owner as we were leaving and she was just as lovely as I imagined. Thank you for a wonderful stay and making us feel so welcome.

    One of the most beautiful spots you will find on Martha's Vineyard. Quiet, secluded, abundant nature, while convenient to Menemsha, Chilmark Store and Lucy Vincent. Nan and Warren are the best hosts. House is immaculate and offers every convenience. Will definitely be back.
