Reviews of The Chestnut House highlight a charming inn with very friendly hosts, comfortable beds, and clean, cozy rooms or suites, set in a central, walkable location that makes exploring Nantucket’s shops, restaurants, and WAVE bus stops easy.
Guests appreciate the period decor and thoughtful touches like provided beach towels, umbrellas, and chairs. Common drawbacks include the lack of morning coffee and, in a few suites, a desire for a window AC unit in the living area. Expect a relaxed, independent-inn experience suited to leisure trips.
