n stately Edgartown, on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, stands The Charlotte Inn. Within this venerable establishment’s walls the proprietors have created a spirited revival of Edwardian-era elegance. From the instant the guest steps through the front door into the foyer hung fine nineteenth-century oil paintings, then approaches a grand mahogany desk to sign the old-fashioned ledger, there is a sense of having stepped back in time.

uilt for Samuel Osborne in 1864, the grand home was a fitting symbol of a wealthy merchant’s station. Since the 1920s it has been a haven for generations of discriminating travelers during all four of the islands distinct seasons.

estled on South Summer Street, shaded by magnificent linden and chestnut trees, The Charlotte Inn is both secluded and accessible. The vibrant and historic town center is only a liesurely stroll from the peace and tranquility found here. And beyond Edgartown, the storied island of Martha’s Vineyard waits exploration.
