The Inn is in Chilmark, Martha's Vineyard's smallest town, an up-Island residential community. The property comprises 56 acres of former farmland now characterized by traditional cape architecture, gardens of perennial and annual flowers, herbs and vegetables. The acreage is contained by a mile of glacial stone walls and abuts more than 2,000 acres of conservation land to the East.
The Inn at Blueberry Hill was orginally the Hammett Family farm, settled in 1691. In 1949, Lewis and Louise Tate King bought the land, renovated the antique farm house and in 1953 opened Blueberry Hill Farm Inn. Louise Tate King was the chef and Lewis presided over every detail for his guests, a small, select group. In 1967 a fire destroyed most of the old farmhouse, but King rebuilt and opened for business the next summer. After 40 years of consummate, quirky hospitality, King sold the Inn to Bob and Carolyn Burgess in December 1994. The Burgesses renovated and expanded the Inn, then sold it to Sam and Rae Ann Mandell at the beginning of the new millennium.
The graceful, clean lines of the renovated Inn fit comfortably in the landscape which is rich in natural assets - high bush blueberries, fiddlehead ferns, fascinating varieties of moths and butterflies, deer, wild turkey, and guinea hen. The Main House Lot is defined by a stone wall which includes the Inn, gardens, fitness room, and tennis court. All six buildings are eloquent in their simplicity, the traditional architecture blending with the surroundings, while pastels and tones of white create a peaceful atmosphere within. Ceiling fans and white cotton bed linens promise comfort. Hand painted furniture and the works of local artists are scattered throughout. An understated elegance pervades the comfortable and casual feeling here.
