Welcome to Our Blog

We love summers on the Vineyard, with time spent at the beach, exploring the island, and eating out at all the fabulous restaurants. While we serve our signature small plates breakfast at of our boutique Edgartown hotels, guests at Oak Bluffs hotel, Summercamp, often enjoy heading out to find the best places to brunch on Martha's Vineyard.

Kennebunkport and neighboring Kennebunk have a great restaurant scene, from casual seafood shacks to some of the best fine dining in Southern Maine. Kennebunk can often be overlooked for its shinier twin Kennebunkport, but there's a thriving downtown district in Kennebunk too.

After a busy day spent exploring all there is to do and see in Salem, it's time to put your feet up and enjoy a drink. Salem has a number of great beer and cocktail bars and some great happy hour deals if you know where to look.

While guests of our Portsmouth boutique hotels report that they're plenty relaxed during their stay with us, we know that some yoga while on vacation can center you or help you keep up with your training. For yogis on a lark, we recommend visiting one of these downtown Portsmouth yoga studios.

Salem is known for its history, from its vital role as a shipping port in the Age of Sail to the infamous Salem Witch Trials. This North Shore town thrives today, with a charming downtown and waterfront full of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.

We think vacations were made for brunching, whether it's a hearty breakfast to fuel you up for a day on the mountain or a leisurely meal before you hit the road home. While our Stowe boutique hotel Field Guide serves its signature small plates breakfast, you'll want to head into town for breakfast at least one day.
