North Road | Charlotte Inn | Edgartown | Russell

Which is not to say that she doesn't like Down-Island. Because she does. If you are looking for more of a walk-around little community, there are some really great places in Edgartown, which is much more developed, with white picket fences and little shops and tiny little brick roads. A friend got married there, and a lot of the wedding party stayed at the Charlotte Inn. It's beautiful.

Another beautiful place to stay is an inn Russell knows well. I love the Inn at Blueberry Hill. To get there, you drive up North Road, one of my favorite roads on the island. One winter, I went and stayed there while Shane was building a house. He grew up building houses on the island with his dad. So I would drive all the way up North Road and drop him off at work every day, and then I would drive back. Especially when it is off-season, there's no one else on that road, and it's really misty, and the trees form a canopy over the winding road. You'll see deer and birds and geese. It's very idyllic.

We Said… Here's where we relax when we're vacationing on the Vineyard. LODGING
