The hosts were exceptionally hospitable and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the island and were happy to suggest points of particular interest. Breakfast offerings included a wide assortment of fresh fruits, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, various bread items, cereals and beverages - it was a perfect assortment. The central location and proximity to downtown was very convenient and the historical home had been well-preserved and its character honored and respected.

Not much - I had a wonderful visit!

The room was beautiful and spacious, with great natural lighting and a beautiful view of the garden. The bed was comfortable and the A/C was very effective and quiet. The backyard was great for our dogs to be able to enjoy the grass. The staff was very welcoming and the value for the stay is unparalleled in the area.

Bed was a bit squeaky.

One of my (new) favorite inns in Nantucket! Have stayed at many over the years, but the hospitality and square footage of the rooms are unbeatable at anywhere near the price. Can’t recommend enough, my mom and I had a lovely time — also location is perfect!

Water cooler would be nice addition

Private garden room with our own entrance. Giuseppe was a wonderful host and had a great spread of fruit and berries, croissants, yogurt and hard boiled eggs to start our days. Very quiet and just 2 blocks from stores and restaurants. It’s a neighborhood gem!

We chose this property for two reasons. First, it's conveniently located at the edge of downtown so everything is within walking distance. Second, we loved the pictures of the common space (library and parlor), thinking that if the weather was poor we'd have a nice place to relax inside. My only disappointment is that the weather was fine so we didn't have a chance to look at the big collection of stereograph slides. (I guess we'll have to go back.) Forrest, the owner, is wonderful: gracious, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable about Nantucket. He's lived there for a long time, and he knows the entire history of the island. Giuseppe, who assists Forrest, has spent many summers on the island and lives in Rome during the off season. He can also give recommendations and answer questions and is happy to do so. Breakfasts were fabulous! Every day we sat in the beautiful dining room, surrounded by china cabinets full of antiques, and were served a huge assortment of fresh fruits, yogurts, granola, nuts, wonderful coffee, and toast with jam and honey. Hardboiled eggs were also served, but it's not a typical breakfast of eggs, bacon and hash browns. In my opinion it was MUCH better. It is on a quiet street, which was nice, and just a few buildings down is the Hospital Thrift Shop, which is a great place to browse if you like that sort of thing. They have an especially good book selection!

Everything is expensive on the island including the restaurants. I was particularly disappointed in the places we ate dinner. The food was good but not great, and in one the service was poor. Perhaps we could have made better choices, but we went by reviews and ratings. For our last dinner we decided to get takeout lobster rolls and a bottle of wine and ate in our room.

The size of the room was good and the amenities. It was just a little bit of a challenge to get to.

The steepness of the stairs to our room was a challenge.

Exceptional hospitality, great breakfast, and an en expected tidying of our room in-between. The location is perfect. I cannot wait to go back.

I wish I could have stayed longer.
