The Captain R. Flanders House

We got the pond room for our one year anniversary and it ended up being like a fishbowl. Even with the blinds down you could see people walking around and listening in on us. Someone tried to open our locked room twice. The door in our room that led to the hallway had a crack under it at least four inches big that anyone leaning down could see our whole bed from. Zero noise cancellation and we could hear everything and everyone could hear us. The bathroom had a door that led outside that could not be locked. None of our windows could lock. No wifi when promised there was as well. We asked if we could cancel, as we booked it yesterday over the phone (you can’t book online) and they never said anything about a canceling policy, and the lady said no. Once we said all the issues with the roo

I just spent two nights in the Wood Cottage at Captain Flanders House and I'm already plotting my return. The experience up-island is rustic no matter where you stay and CFH is no exception. The grounds are surrounded by stone walls and horses, deer, and geese roam about at their leisure. We arrived very early for our stay and met two of the housekeepers. They were lovely and provided us with our car and walk-on passes for the Chilmark beaches. We were also able to get into the cottage well ahead of our 3PM check-in because it was ready. The cottage is perfect for two people. The great room has big beautiful windows that remain undressed so that you can see the horses, deer, and geese anytime you want. There is a small mini-fridge in the room which was helpful. The bedroom and gre

Last month, we stayed for almost a week at the Captain Flanders House, and we are still talking about how relaxed, inviting, and comfortable it was! We felt very free to come and go as if it were our own home. Unlike many bed and breakfasts where there is a bit of pressure to socialize with the innkeepers and other guests, the staff members were friendly, but took care of us in a more behind the scenes sort of way. We enjoyed coming downstairs every morning to a lovely breakfast waiting unceremoniously on the porch. Also, the farm setting is absolutely dreamy, so taking in the view was a great way to start the day.||The rooms in the main house are cozy and make you feel like a guest in your favorite aunt’s country house, down to the understated furniture and antique-inspired bedding. The t

Place is very cool. It's 20 minutes out side if the hustle and bustle of MVY. Some reviews are 1 stars for ots rustic nature. Assuming they were looking for Ritz and glamor. This place is a charming farm house with rolling fields. Bring a book, relax amd unwind. I will certainly stay again.
