One week at “The Lodge” on Martha's Vineyard
If you like Pinewoods you will love the Lodge. This is an old-school summer structure built on
the shore of Lake Tashmoo in 1922 above a salt marsh with small beach. The Lodge is an incredible
exposed stud and rafter structure consisting of a 33’x33’ mostly open main space, a private bathroom
and a sleeping porch that sleeps six. While the Lodge is rustic, it includes many amenities including
new kitchen, wifi, a deck facing really great sunsets.
