Chilmark, Massachusetts
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.
The house and grounds were exactly as described in the listing, which is rare. Four adults with an occasional visiting grandchild were very comfortable in the space, and we made great use of the outdoor eating areas and hammock. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were extremely responsive. We highly recommend it.
My family of five enjoyed our stay at this home in Chilmark. The house fit us well and was lovingly decorated and very comfortable. We enjoyed the nearby beach, Lucy Vincent, the general store and tavern, and the charming town of Menemsha. Little things i especially appreciated are - separate den for TV, extensive book selection, including a lovely children’s section, games and toys for the kids, a separate laundry/office room, ample space to store clothes and suitcases and a great outdoor shower.
We really enjoyed this wonderful house for our week on the island. Very quiet and comfortable. Thanks.
We were most comfortable at this clean and welcoming traditional New England home between Lucy Vincent beach and Menemsha. The hosts went out of their way to ensure our family had what we needed. From the wooded tranquility to the proximity to local favorites, we enjoyed it all. Thank you!
We loved our stay and Nan and Warren are wonderful hosts!
Hands down the best rental we have stayed in. The property is lovely and secluded. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked including with so many wonderful books and a hammock! Nan and Warren were outstanding hosts ….quick to answer random questions (know where we can buy a beach umbrella) to pointing out excellent places to hike and kayak. Thank you Nan and Warren for sharing your beautiful home with our family!
Beautiful, quaint home with gorgeous yard, near the Chilmark General Store. Hosts Nan and Warren were great and helpful. Had a wonderful week and would return.
Great house with plenty of room along with a spacious yard. Everything we needed to cook, work jigsaw puzzles and relax on the deck. Very peaceful and quiet. Nan and Warren responded quickly with the few questions we had.
Had a wonderfully relaxing week at a comfortably, clean home in a gorgeous setting.
We loved our stay in Chilmark. The property was beautiful and full of little nooks inside and out to explore and relax. The library is fantastic — everyone found something interesting for them. The grounds are gorgeous we had a great time relaxing outside. The property was spotless clean and well sanitized. Hope to come back next year!
