Very classic look. Loved the look of the decor. Very spacious room for the price but still very cozy. Super comfortable bed! Only source of light were lamps spread out around the room so room was dimly lit. Heating took awhile to warm up the room. Most affordable room in the area at the time of booking.

We (a family of 3 with a young child) stayed at the Chestnut House for a weekend during the off-season. It was a lovely stay. The location is convenient, the staff friendly, the rooms clean and nicely decorated, and we loved the upstairs library. We will be back hopefully next spring!

We had a lovely stay at the Chestnut House and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Nantucket. The location was perfect since it was centrally located in the town and in walking distance to so many shops, restaurants and attractions. The room was clean and cozy and the staff was always available to answer our questions. We loved how they provided beach items like towels and umbrellas.

Check in with Ian was a breeze. We arrived early but our room was ready so we were able to check in and freshen up. The 2 room suite was cute, comfy and very homey. We had the best nights sleep of our entire trip. The bed, the pillows and the bedding were perfect. Location is great, easy walk to everything.

This was our first time on Nantucket, and we couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more! The Chestnut House was so central to everything in town and close to all the WAVE bus stop locations. The suite we stayed in was perfect for all of our needs. It was clean, roomy, and decorated nicely. I would highly recommend staying here for anyone looking at visiting Nantucket!
