Want to know the best time of year to visit Martha's Vineyards, according to the locals? No, it's not summer when there is no shortage of tourists and some famous guests and celebrities. It's during the winter when the high season yields to peace and quiet and a soft blanket of snow. The town transforms into a refuge from the hustle and bustle of other busier winter destinations. The best place to find lodging is in Oak Bluffs, which is a resort town and offers numerous bed and breakfasts and lodges that tend to resemble gingerbread-style cottages, as does many of the structures in the town. This kind of escape begs for crisp walks along the beach all bundled up in coats, scarves and gloves, and then strolls through the town streets to find the nearest cafe to sit, chat and enjoy a warm coffee or other hot drink. You can bring a book you've made little time to read and just spend a cozy afternoon at your lodge in front of fire and read your day away. It's a perfect winter retreat from daily stress.
