Enjoy a flashback to one of many old Victorian houses I used to live in. Love the books by authors the rooms are named after. Nice twist. I loved that the family works there.

The Palmer House Inn was a beautiful B&B located within walking distance of shops, dining and Martha's Vineyard ferry. The first thought my wife had was that "they thought of everything!" Every detail was attended to. Inn owner Tom was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. We have stayed at many B&Bs and this one was one of the best!
