    This has to be on your list when you visit MV. It's historic, whimsical, picturesque, and outright memorable!

    Can someone please gift me one of these houses?? Pretty please!!? The Gingerbread Houses were the highlight of my trip to the island. The houses are absolutely beautiful, I could have walked around the neighborhood all day. Even though there are tourists walking around it somehow manages to still have that idyllic, tranquil feeling. It was so peaceful and magical there. I love how all the houses are similar but different and each has their own theme or paint job. I bet it is annoying to have so many people walking around your house but the residents seemed very nice about it.

    Probably the best Gingerbread house front garden!

    Yes life size lookin, doll house lookin', looks good to eat lookin, Gingerbread houses! When visiting Martha's Vineyard, a lot of New England locals suggest to stroll through the Gingerbread cottages. Considered a historic site, it started back in the 1800's or so when people came camping out in MV as part of the Methodist religious retreat in tents. This evolved into permanently staying in the island under what is known as Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association. Each cute house is privately owned and some can even be rented out...think air bnb. Each house has its own unique motifs. If only they'd let you in on the island during post season/winter holidays. It's a nice way to sightsee around the town of Oak bluffs in MV and a big bonus of course, is that it's a free scenic self tour of a village of non edible festive Gingerbread houses!

    The Gingerbread Houses is always the highlight of any trip to Oak Bluffs in Martha's Vineyard! The houses are adorable, very tiny with beautiful detail. It looks like a tiny village behind the beach town stores of Oak Bluffs. There are many streets that don't permit cars which allows the locals, tourists and children to walk safely and admire the beauty of these tiny houses. Some of the houses are more painstakingly restored then others, but all remind you of the houses made of gingerbread that are available around Christmas time. Their bright colors and beautiful motifs are a wonder for the eyes! The easiest way to access the Gingerbread Houses is through the entryway by Sharky's Cantina.

    REAL LIFE DOLL HOUSES. At least, that's how I felt when I viewed these adorable cottages in Oaks Bluff. The houses were mostly built in the 1800s and many stand in its original form today. The houses are mostly colorful...pink, purple, green, blue, etc. We were lucky enough to have stumbled upon on the owners who was able to give some personal history on her house. A must see.

    Spent the day at Martha's Vineyard today and I just fell in love with this little community. The houses are so cute and each one has its own charm!

    A small park with a…read more big purpose. Trinity Park is a small park located right in the middle of Oak Bluffs. A nice place for a stroll or to view the cottages but the real reason the park exists is because of the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle is a massive open air structure. I'm not sure what the official term for this type of building is, but it's sort of a permanent tent but made of steel and iron. It is huge, over 100 feet high, holds over 3,000 people and is the largest structure of it's kind in the country. It was built back in 1879 to hold the revival meetings of the people that would meet at Oak Bluffs and is presently on the National Register of Historical Buildings. It's now used for Sunday services, community song alongs on Wednesday nights and various concerts throughout the summer. Mostly local performers but some famous artist like James Taylor, Tom Paxton and Bonnie Raitt have been here. Even though it's not used for it's original purpose it still is awe inspiring to walk through. Even though it protects you from the elements, it still gives the feeling of being outside. The acoustics are surprising good and it is a extremely pleasant place to see a concert. With the giant stage or altar and the beautiful stain glass windows, huge beams and massive size it's enough to give some religion, if only for a moment, to the most hardened heathen.

    The tabernacle is great for music in the summer. Went during…read morethe Jazz fest. You're supposed to pay for seating, but it's an open air theater. They should really make events here free. The architecture is beautiful and it's right in the heart of the ginger bread cottage campground. Way too much cuteness!

    Blueberry Hill is a private campground tucked into the Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth. My…read moregrandfather was one of the founding campers in 1959, my family started camping there when I was six, and we had a permanent site by 1968; my brother has that site now. "Permanent" constructions aren't allowed. You can put campers and tents there, and build frames of 2x4s, canvas, mesh netting and fiberboard that have the appearance of a cabin. People park refrigerators, tables and appliances there, and generally stay throughout the season, which runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. There's a pond for swimming, fishing and sailing, forests in which to hike, a recreation area with a basketball court and other amenities. The sites are seasonal leases (no short term camping) and can roll over year-to-year, and Site #12 isn't the only one that's been in the hands of one family for fifty years or more. Contact the owners to get on the waiting list for an opening, but understand that preference is often given to the families of current or old-time campers. Times have changed, some, and now water and electric hookups have replaced the propane-fired refrigerators and send-the-kids-to-the-public-taps-with-jerricans of my youth. More people are there weekends-only and fewer live there all summer long. But it's still the home of my heart, forever. And if you can get your own site, thank your lucky stars. It'll be one of the best things that ever happened to you.
