We very recently took a trip to Martha’s Vineyard.
I have never been there and it has been on my bucket list for some time now.
Upon great recommendations, we booked our stay at The Charlotte Inn in Edgartown.
It was breathtaking from the time you entered this most exquisite Inn.
I was on visual overload of all of the stunning rooms and antiques throughout the inn.
But first, let me show you the room where we stayed.
As soon as you enter the room, there is such a sense of calm and warmth,
that makes you immediately want to relax and take your shoes off!!
Beautiful antique brass andirons …
and I found out what special paste they used to clean all of their metals.
Want to know? …. Maas Metal Paste.
The artwork in this room was exquisite as was all of the artwork throughout the inn.
Beautiful chest with wonderful antique vanity accessories.
The cozy sitting area.
The antique accessories behind the loveseat.
There were a few wonderful antique trophies in the room.
This little alcove housed the TV and the sweet chair and the
antique riding boots and boot forms.
This antique four poster Barley Twist bed is exquisite.
It also had a wood paneled canopy.
Just across the door to the room, is this beautiful antique hall tree
adorned with lovelies such as vintage hats. You can see the room’s fireplace in the mirror.
When you enter the room, to the right you will find
a small antique cabinet to greet you with an antique bowl filled with mints.
Just beyond the front door on the right is the beautiful bathroom.
Plush towels …. toiletries by Bulgari and Hermes …. yes, Hermes soap!
And here is what we saw out of our windows….
Part of the magnificent courtyard.
They mentioned that the gardens were not as beautiful now due to the change
in the season…..I surely wish my gardens looked like this in their peak!
There is a magnificent potting shed that I could see from our window.
It is a working potting shed and filled with amazing garden antiques.
Can you tell I loved this Inn and our room?!!
More to amazing rooms to show you soon…
But in the meantime …. I will leave you with something that I will
put on my list for our next home … a fireplace in the bedroom.
“Life is not the breath you take,
it’s the moments that take your breath away”
Have a beautiful day!

Oh Shirley, this is just gorgeous – more, more, please! The bathroom is an Art Deco dream for me. Maas paste is what I use also. 🙂 After seeing both Pam’s and your photos, I would definitely want to stay there if I ever go to Martha’s Vineyard again.

How beautiful! Martha’s Vineyard is on my bucket list and I will be sure to look up this gorgeous inn when we plan our visit.
The room is stunning for sure, but it was the bathroom that took my breath away…Martha’s Vineyard is lovely from the moment you step on the ferry for the ride there. A magical place.

Oh my goodness! I want to move in! I know you had a fantastic stay there, I wouldn’t want to go outside the room it’s so gorgeous.
Ok you know you were living MY DREAM right there!! I have been many times to dinner at the Charlotte Inn, and have never had the pleasure of staying there. It was incredible to take a look into the bedroom and bathroom and see all the details that you shared. Beyond gorgeous!!

Shirley, This is one of our favorite places to stay on the Vineyard and the breakfasts in the courtyard are also wonderful! I think it’s too cold now for that but I agree the grounds are beautiful. I’m so glad you had the chance to visit this wonderful Inn! Can’t wait to see the rest of your pictures! Linda

Martha’s Vineyard is one of our favorite places, and we always stay at the Harborview. The Charlotte Inn looks amazing! Enjoy!
I stayed there Shirley! It’s been several years, but I still remember it well. Your room was absolutely stunning!

You spoke my sentiments exactly in your closing. What a gorgeous room! No cutting corners here, total elegance and comfort.
I think I will leave the floral drapes in my middle room for a while. I keep hearing they are dated and they really are but after seeing this post, I have changed my mind.
