Chestnut House was perfect!

Absolutely loved the Chestnut House! Jennifer is a wonderful host who filled us in on the history of the house and the beautiful art work (created by her parents). Our room was cleaned everyday and everything we needed (umbrella, beach chairs, towels was provided. The location of the Chestnut House is ideal and at the heart of the town. We walked everywhere and caught the Wave to the beach. I highly recommend these accommodations for your stay in Nantucket.

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!

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.

Older property Great garden and good location

This was definitely an older property. It was decorated nice and the beds were comfortable. Easy access in and out any time of day. However, there was a musty or damp smell that was quite uncomfortable for me. I smelled it throughout the entire suite. It was the worst near the sink in the bathroom. I will say that it seemed to have dissipated a little on the last day there, so maybe it was something transient.
