This weekend we took a ferry from Wood's Hole to Martha's Vineyard. While exploring the bike paths we discovered this beautiful little cottage community, a Methodist campground meeting association.
The tiny cottages were built to replace tents beginning in the 1880's, surrounding a beautiful green with large trees, as open air covered meeting house, and the tabernacle.
Some of the cottages are built so close together, you can probably hear your neighbor spread butter on their toast.
The house colors and gingerbread trim remind me of cake icing.
We could feel fall in the air on the windy ferry ride home.

What absolutely darling houses!! We're getting our taste of fall (in Michigan) too. Visited the cider mill this weekend. Tis the season!
how lovely xx
It's so beautiful. I would love a house in the woods like this. What a treat to go and see this in person. Take care.
oh, how I wish they still built houses like that, with character and style. All this likeness and prefab just makes me shudder.ugh. lol
I always like hearing your family adventures!
Some of these houses are unbelievably tiny! Can you tell? Beth
What wonderful little dollhouses! Thank you for the wonderful photo-tour, Beth!
Simply charming little storybook cottages!
How quaint. What a nice place to wander.
I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like that! I can't imagine living is such a fairytale village. I wonder if they go all our for christmas?
those are the prettiest cottages! I love it when people put such workmanship into their surroundings. I saw a number of houses similar to this in the countryside in Russia.
happy day to you.
