While originally from New Hampshire, I have spent time on Martha’s Vineyard with my family every summer since I can remember, a tradition dating back to 1964. In 1969, my grandparents bought a “Gingerbread Cottage” which has since been filled with countless memories. From the scenic bike rides to the delicious lobster rolls to the incredibly friendly community, this island holds such a huge spot in my heart. It is truly my happy place, and I am excited to share more about what makes it so special.

I was living in Boston when I discovered that Martha’s Vineyard had amazing bike trails. That was 2005, and on the very first day of my very first bike trip here, I saw a man from across the room at Seasons who made my heart pitter patter in a way I didn’t see coming. It was a SOUL thing and love at first sight for both the island and my future husband. MVY has been my home base since just a few months later, and exploring this special paradise literally never gets old for me. So it’s my great pleasure to share it with you here!
