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.

Perfect gem

On a scale of 1 - 10.....I rate it a 20. It was such a beautiful place and in the perfect area. We walked to dinner, came back and relaxed on the porch. We were enjoying the peace and quiet and then we heard the church bells ring 8 times and then a little song played ever so softly. The Inn had beautiful antique furniture. Always had some, water, coffee and snacks out. The sweetest woman checked us in and then showed us around. We definitely want to come back and stay for 3 or 4 nights.

I think it is a bit misleading. It called an Inn but it’s really a bed and breakfast. People were noisy coming in at night. Nobody offered to help with bags up 3 flights. Pillows were uncomfortable and had makeup stains

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!

Owned by a lovely and welcoming couple, the Palmer House Inn boasts a property that honors prominent writers. The Inn’s mascot Brody and the staff truly made the stay at the beautifully aged Victorian home one of a kind. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer.

Nice B&B

Friendly & cute room! Nice front porch to relax in ricking chairs. Easy access to shining sea bikeway & town. All walking distance. Breakfast was good and plentiful, wait staff attentive Only didn’t really enjoy the big dogs tail swishing on our table at breakfast. Definitely a lovely place and will go back
