Best of Boston

2013 Best Inn, Martha's Vineyard

Lambert’s Cove Inn & Restaurant

If you want a real island retreat, head to the north side, take a quiet road through the woods, and book yourself into a room at the idyllic Lambert’s Cove Inn. You can stay in either the main building—a converted 1790 farmhouse decked out in English-country period style—or the carriage house, where many rooms have their own private porch.
