This pet-friendly farm was ideal for our family vacation! The hot tub was a hit, and you can’t beat the view from almost every room in the house. We loved visiting the horses and chickens, taking hikes along the trails right near the house and playing in the large yard. The beds were comfy and the hosts were helpful and quick to respond. We would absolutely stay here again!

Gorgeous property in a wonderful location

We had the best possible stay at Sanctuary Farm with our three kids. Dan and Haven are the kindest, warmest hosts, and the house is beautiful. Our kids loved seeing the animals every day and riding bikes down the quiet roads. The location next to hiking trails and with water views can't be beat. An absolute gem, and we will be back!

This property is as advertised. A perfect mix between old architecture and modern amenities. The water view faces west, so it’s a great place to relax after a day of adventure on the island and watch the sunset. Hosts were responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous Home and Location!

We loved our stay at the Sanctuary House. The house itself was so beautiful - it had the farmhouse feel with modern touches and appliances. The view off the back deck was amazing and we enjoyed a lot of our time out there. We loved having the horses and chickens out front to say hi to as we came and left! We hope to come back and enjoy another stay at this lovely property!

Amazing stay on Martha's Vineyard

This property is a fantastic place to use as a tranquil base camp for exploring Martha's Vineyard. The property itself is secluded with a great view out to the water, and having farm animals close by is fun. The house is cute and cozy with many modern touches. The hosts are incredibly nice and left us a few fun bakery surprises, but were never intrusive. Looking forward to going back!

Beautiful farmhouse for family retreat

We had an amazing trip to the Sanctuary House this Spring just before tourist season on Martha's Vineyard. Its location in West Tisbury was a welcome change from the vibes of Oak Bluffs or Edgartown, and it is nestled amongst a few beautiful farms and overlooks the water in the distance. The island was still very quiet, but there were great amenities for cooking and enjoying family meals on the property such that we were not at all reliant on restaurants being open. The bedrooms were very comfortable, particularly the master suite on the first floor. Can't recommend staying here enough!
