Amazingly beautiful property! Clean, peaceful, aesthetically beautiful. Short stroll to downtown.
Lovely welcoming staff. Will definitely visit again !
My room and the common area were very clean and welcoming. The innkeeper David was very friendly. Great location close to the ferry port but far enough away from the busy spots
Room decor and entire house was clean and charming. In room bathroom was incredibly small. Thermostat and heater were not in sync. I had it set at 65 and it was very warm. I had the window open in November. House keeping service was great. I enjoyed my stay because I was at an off season rate. If I paid top dollar, I would be more annoyed.
It was a lovely inn and suited my needs for a spontaneous trip. The small details prevented it being a five star overnight. The body wash and conditioner units in the shower were empty. No travel lids for the coffee cups available. Would have been nice to see an employee at one point during my stay.
This was my first stay ever at an Inn and I loved it here!

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean, keys were left in envelopes for guests. Didn’t meet the owner til the next day when I couldn’t find my key, he came with a spare and I was able to find my original key later in the day. Was disappointed that there was no television in the room, and felt it should have been mentioned in the amenities. Another guest I spoke to also found it odd. The walls are very thin, so I got to hear a lot! The owner didn’t seem very concerned when I mentioned both things. Only saw him twice! The woman who cleaned the rooms was very nice and friendly!

Eh it’s ok, wouldn’t stay here again. There are no televisions in the room, walls are paper thin and there is not anyone at a front desk. Slight odor of cigarettes in our room. I’ve been to Nantucket many times and while this stay was adequate it’s not a place I’ll stay at again.
Our host was wonderful. We were so relaxed in the common areas and the porch was the reason we picked it. We wanted a place to hangout and still be outside if the weather turned. Room was comfortable, clean, and the service attentive to our needs. We will return.
The internet was very reliable and the breakfast was continental. This location was very convenient to restaurants and shops. The walk to the ferry is about 20 minutes and the neighborhood was very safe at night. Dave was a great host. Thank you.

Mother Daughter take on Nantucket
Mother daughter first time trip to Nantucket. Great location. Convenient to restaurants and shopping. We walked almost everywhere. Rented bikes to ride to the beach. Compliments light breakfast. Very clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Would stay again.
