We had the most wonderful celebration of our 15th wedding anniversary at the Manion House this past 4-day holiday weekend. The room had a fabulous king-sized bed, a gas fireplace with all the finest island-styled furniture and cheerful decor. Everything from top to bottom of this treasured getaway was iin perfect order and immaculatey spotless (not like some so-called 'year-round' island hotels that skate by during off-season. Even the off season rates were reasonable. I'll gladly trade the absence of warmer weather to avoid contending with the hoards of summer tourists.

We have absolutely no complaints about anything to speak of. The service was friendly and helpful. The place has been fully restored to perfection, only better than it was before the fire that burned it to the ground in 2000. It has all the amenities and charm of a 19th century landmark without the damp, musty smell , the creaky floors, or paper-thin walls!

The view from the cupola is spectacular, even on a snowy day in January. The quality of the food at the Zephrus Restaurant was excellent with quite a variety. The actual Olympic sized lap pool pleasantly surprised my wife, who swims a mile daily and is normally a pool 'snob' when we go on vacation, but not this time!

The Manion House was a convenient walk to many shops, stores, and restaurants that were thankfully open during this frigid time of the year, unlike shops in most other towns on the Vineyard. We were only a stone's throw from the famed "Black Dog" Tavern, where we ate lunch twice.

We enjoyed much of our time just hanging out in the hotel, lounging around in the lovely lobby or warming by the fire in the hotel library reading or playing backgammon. What a double treat to stay holed up in our room all Sunday afternoon, watching both the NE Patriots and the NY Giants make history by winning the playoffs. What better place to see it all from on our large plasma-screened TV, right in the middle of our comfy-cozy king-sized bed!

To top it all off, we scheduled a double massage for my wife and I in the Spa and enjoyed a little slice of heaven. I have had many therapeutic massages in my day from certified therapists all over the world, but this was without question the best of them all.

We can't wait to come back to Martha's Vineyard in the spring and enjoy another unforgetable weekend at the Mansion House.

Everything was perfect. The king size bed was luxuriously comfortable, the decorating was exquisite, every detail of the room and the hotel in general is top notch. Immaculately clean, friendly personnel, and just a wonderful, charming atmosphere. The location is within easy walking distance to the ferry, there are lovely shops surrounding the hotel, and the attached restaurant was very good. The view from our room was gorgeous. I hope to visit again in the future.

After looking at some of the reviews I was nervous about going to The Mansion House for our 4 night Thanksgiving holiday. What a wonderful surprise. The front desk folk were wonderful, the room was clean, the housekeeping staff friendly and accommodating with our requests, a yummy breakfast, and the fastest evening room service we have ever experienced. The view from the cupola should not be missed, the pool was clean, whirlpool hot, and a health club right in down town Vineyard Haven…what is not to love? Two adults and two boys, ages 10 and 13, had a very memorable time and we hope to make it a yearly pilgrimage. Looking forward to bringing in the New Year on the Vineyard!

The Mansion House in Vineyard Haven is steps from the pier but believe me, this is not a deterrent. It is easy to get to, parking behind the property if you bring your car ( which we recommend because it couldn't be easier and more affordable to bring it on the ferry). The desk staff very pleasant, Zephrus is the restaurant on the property and it was incredible. We brought our own wine and it was corked and poured! Scallops Ceviche, flaky calamari, bell peppers with Risotto and grilled shrimp, So Good and we couldn't be pickier. We didn't expect it to be so good. The rooms had this light and airy feeling, the bed was sooo comfortable, didn't want to get out of bed, gas fire place, balcony, wonderfully comfortable tub, separate shower, refrig, ROBES that I ended up buying because they were so nice! We had room 411 which is the only King room with water view and fire place. With AAA discount it was a steal for $152/night. Breakfast is incl. Incredible gym and spa, indoor pool, aerobics room, cyclining room, weight room, treadmill room....Cupola on top of property, hotel surrounded by quaint shops! Coffee in the rooms, we will definitely go back!
