Five stars. On second thought make that six! The Pickett House is tucked away in a quiet corner of the Vineyard, "Up-Island". We found this home is meticulously cared for at this lovely retreat. Upon first stepping into the house we felt like we were home. Upon arrival the aroma of freshly baked cookies hovered in the entryway and dining room, and were offered to us as we were welcomed as guests. If you're looking for a memorable, relaxing place to stay that is authentically Martha's Vineyard this IS it! Recently restored and simply yet elegantly decorated, the home rests amongst forests, and meadows, just off the main South Rd. A short distance from a well known Chilmark Market and it's famous frequent guests, the quiet fishing town of Menemsha and postcard perfect beaches, all are within a mile's or so walking or biking distance. The two largest rooms are more than adequate, large comfy beds and recently restored bathrooms with custom tile work. Although many of the Vineyard's beaches are private, the Pickett House offers its guests beach passes to both Lucy Vincent's and Squibnocket beaches, the former being arguably the most beautiful and coveted on the island. This was the second place we'd stayed at on the island and honestly we could say it was hard to leave the peace and beauty of this bed and breakfast and it's surroundings. When returing to the island, the Pickett House will be the first and only place we'd consider staying again. Many thanks to our gracious and kind hosts who went out of their way to make us feel at home.

    • Liked — Amazing attention to detail and superb customer service. Above average cleanliness and decor. Comfortable accomodations and near picturesque beaches and landmarks.
    • Tips/Secrets: — Located in a "dry-town" bring your own alcohol for dinners out, etc. Be prepared to get away from it all... cell phone service is spotty although a house phone is provided. However, wifi internet service is available.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this b + b for four wonderful days. This establishment offers three bedrooms on a beautiful piece of bucolic property. The bedroom that we stayed in downstairs was exceptionally well decorated with a Ralph Lauren bed set and plenty of room for us.It is conveniently located to the private town beach, Lucy Vincent. This beach can be reached either by a 15 minute walk or a pick-up by the regularly scheduled town bus. The morning breakfast at 8:30 usually consisted of a breadstuff ex. croissants, cheese, fruit salad of some form, orange juice, and coffee. One exceptional feature is the outdoor shower that certainly adds a special touch. Despite the superb features of this establishment, the innkeeper, Elizabeth is absolutely wonderful-very friendly and extraordinarily accomodating. It is her personal touch that makes this b + B one that I highly recommend for anyone coming to this area!!

“An idyllic setting for a romantic get-away”

The Pickett House Bed and Breakfast

Aug 8, 2006
1/1 found this review helpful

We left the kids and the mainland behind and travelled to the farther, quieter end of Martha's Vinyard. Chilmark is reminiscent of the Old Cape and this B&B, a farm house of 1700s vintage brought us further back in time. The owner was very gracious and we had a refrigerator for us and other guests to keep our sundries including wine in (this end of the island is dry -- so eating out is BYOB). Her gardens are magnificent and the rooms are cozy and romantic. Next time we'll take the room with a balcony overlooking her gardens. Breakfast was in the living room (or outside) with coffee, tea, juice and homemade muffins, cheeses, and fruit. We loved the location -- a short bike ride to town (you can walk too)-- very small town center with a great general store where we picked up sandwiches to bring to the beach. We were also a short bike ride to the magnificent Lucy Vincent beach and we even did the 14 mile round trip ride to Gay Head, famed for its colorful clay cliffs. There are several great restaurants in the area, but our favorite night was eating freshing steamed Lobsters outside watching the sunset at nearby Menemsha harbor. We definitely plan to return next year for another romantic get-away!

“What a find”

The Pickett House Bed and Breakfast

Mar 1, 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

You have to look for this wonderful B&B. They gave us privacy, information about the island and made us feel very welcomed. We relaxed in a wonderful large room with a king sleigh bed. It was clean, cozy, decorated with high end furnishings, lovely flowers and quiet. The breakfast was fresh banana bread and fruit which was all we needed because we wanted to enjoy long walks on the beaches and just be away from it all. Very relaxing, I can’t wait to go back again and just made my reservation for this summer!
