Best Nights Sleep
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.

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.

Perfect Central Location
This house hotel was wonderful. It was centrally located so that we could easily walk to many restaurants, shops, etc. We rented bikes for most of our stay and were able to lock them up on the property. They provided beach towels for us and have other beach needs available for use as well. They gave us an hour late checkout since we were having a hard time saying goodbye to the island. They also have an area to hold your storage if you need to check out before your flight departure. My only wish was that there was a window AC in the main living area of the room as well and that the fold out bed was more comfortable, because we had sleepers in that room, but otherwise, everything was absolutely perfect!

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!
