My daughter and I loved our stay at The Chestnut House! Beautiful hand made rugs and original paintings were perfect for its old Nantucket feel. Jennifer knew what eating places to recommend and what sights are not to be missed. When we had an outing to the beach she provided a blanket, towels, water, and a bag to pick up shells. Couldn't have been better!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.
