Just a perfect disconnection from the world. No electricity. On the pond. Silence and beauty: exactly what was needed. Highly recommend.

Gadget is a wonderful throwback to an earlier Martha's Vineyard. The beautiful, bare- bones cottage is no frills in the best sort of way--coleman lanterns for illumination, a mulching toilet in the bathroom. But for any visitor to the Vineyard who wants to feel close to nature and the sea, it is ideal. The view from the porch of Chilmark pond is gorgeous and the canoe paddle over to the beach great fun. We found the motor boat too heavy to lift, but this was fine. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. We were three people and I think the cottage would be fine for four, but not so great for more people because of the limitations of one bathroom with a mulching toilet. We were able to charge our phones no problem and enjoyed being separated from the tyranny of our computers. The cottage is without wi-fi, which again, seemed a blessing. This is a great find for anyone who loves the fun of going back to an earlier, less technologically focused time. It was about sun and sea and silence.

This is a special home, surrounded by Chilmark pond on three sides with water views from all the windows. There’s a electric boat you can use to get to the beach in 10-15min. You can take it to Able’s Hill Association beach in 30-45 min depending on the wind - recharge the battery at the main house. Kayaks, canoes, beach chairs provided. There’s no electricity or wifi so don’t expect to work from here, but there’s lots of battery powered camp lights and candles so the evenings are pleasant. There’s a power pack charger for your phones, it can be recharged on the porch of the main house. Fridge works well and outdoor shower is hot and spacious. Generally the house, linens, kitchen utensils and crockery are very clean for the age and rustic nature of the home. There’s a portapotty outside an a compost toilet inside - remember to close the lid and bathroom door. This house is wonderful for the right person, but not for everyone. If you’re an outdoorsy camping family, you’ll absolutely love it!
