I don’t even know where to begin…
Amanda, and the entire family down at Treehouse are just some of the most amazing, kind, and friendly people you’ll ever meet. They bend over backwards in order to make sure that your needs are met! I’m a disabled (wheelchair user) celebrity nail artist— and no, they didn’t know that upon check-in. I made sure that they didn’t because I wanted fair and equal treatment and wanted to do an experiment to see how that would go. BOY was I pleasantly surprised! Not that they were nice, no (even though I’ve had some not so good, and even borderline racist experiences elsewhere near and on the island) I wasn’t surprised by that at all but just the level of care and lengths they went through, to make sure that my stay was the ultimate.
I didn’t even realize that I was missing two waters from my room upon check in, and I didn’t even have to ask because when I returned to my room? They were right there where the coffee maker was. I didn’t mind anyone going into my room while I was gone; after all, I didn’t have the “Do Not Disturb” sign up. So it’s completely fine. They made sure my ADA accessible room was as comfy as could be! And WOW is it SPACIOUS!!! The bathroom alone is almost the size of the room, I LOVED that! They also have a shower bench to use and the shower itself is also very huge, very much so.
They have a car service to and from the ferry that IS ABLE TO FIT A MANUAL WHEELCHAIR inside. So there was no problems at all accommodating me when it came to back and forth travel. I was also stranded on the way back to the lodge, and Amanda sent someone out to come and pick me up at night. I’ve never had such welcoming and accommodating service anywhere I’ve stayed, ever before in my life. And I’ve stayed at a LOT of hotels and other places similar. On and off the island.
I feel bad for such a late review (a month later— I stayed during the MVAAFF in August!) but I was busy with Broadway actresses, and prepping for the Emmy’s. Still, I didn’t want this review to not happen, they’re too deserving and I can’t wait to stay again, truly I can’t. Honestly? I’m unsure if I’ll ever stay anywhere else ever again when I visit the Vineyard. Hands down the best service, the best people, and the most spacious and beautifully desecrated, COMFORTABLE room I’ve ever stayed in as well. I didn’t get a chance to try being around the bonfire as I was only there for a work trip and needed sleep, but next time for sure I will check it out.
Upon leaving? I couldn’t help but to surprise them all with Dunkin’ to show my appreciation for everything that they’ve done during my brief stay with them. That should be more common, if someone can afford it. They work around the clock and it’s easy to forget to nourish yourself. I could tell how thankful they were even before the handoff. And, one of the drivers? It was their last day with them that day! I didn’t even know, and he was able to pick out his favorite donut from the bunch. That honestly was the sweetest ending to an incredible stay.
Until next time, Treehouse Lodge!
