We welcome you to Martha's Vineyard - one of America's best-loved getaway retreats

Where are we staying:

We have selected two spectacular places to stay. The seminars will be presented at the Harbor View Hotel where we have been able to reserve a small group of rooms (SOLD OUT) (this is a very popular hotel) - we have also booked rooms at the sister property- the Kelley House (Also a Wyndham Resort) which has more room availability. Please note that It is an easy walk between the Kelley House and the Harbor view Hotel. 

On Martha's Vineyard, charming villages, sandy beaches and rolling hills create the perfect vacation haven. Warm days that come early in the spring and linger late in the fall invite you to explore, relax, recharge.

The Harbor View Hotel - A Wyndham Luxury Resort - is the ideal Martha's Vineyard headquarters, situated amid stately elms and the historic homes of 19th-century whaling captains. Built in 1891, the Harbor View stands on Starbuck's Neck with a commanding view of Edgartown Lighthouse and Chappaquiddick Island.

Period architecture and Massachusetts history blend flawlessly with modern comforts and outstanding service. Rock away the hours on a sprawling veranda overlooking the sea and yachts of Edgartown Harbor. Stroll along our beachfront or explore the neighborhood's quaint shops and galleries.

The Kelley House

 

The Kelley House - A Wyndham Luxury Resort - opened its doors in 1742 and has been delighting guests ever since. Originally a tavern, the property flourished during the Revolutionary War and the prosperous whaling era, giving generations of sailors a warm respite from the rigors of life at sea.

Beautifully renovated in 2000, The Kelley House features authentic period furnishings with a charming maritime motif. A soaring two-story fireplace is the heart of the inn and is the perfect spot for tea or an hour with a good book.

Ideally situated in the heart of the historic waterfront, The Kelley House makes it easy to explore Edgartown, a picturesque village that fascinates with historic cottages, cobble-stone streets, beautiful gardens and one-of-a-kind boutiques.
