A separate cottage is also available. Coffee is offered in the cozy upstairs common room, and guests receive a coupon good for a full breakfast at one of several restaurants in town. Innkeepers Diane and Mitchell have also devoted the past 15 years to acquiring art from Nantucket's finest artists and craftspeople and their beautiful collection is placed throughout the house, which is open year-round. A piano graces the common room, where window seats beckon, and a continental breakfast is served at a large, beautifully appointed table. Many of the 13 guest rooms have four-poster beds, fireplaces, and private baths.
Guests can sit on the veranda in summer, or curl up in front of the fire in the cooler months.
The inn, open year-round, is just a short walk from town. If you don't mind sharing a bathroom, this historic inn is a great value. Innkeepers Dolly and Nobby Noblit are two of the friendliest hosts you'll ever meet, which is no doubt part of the reason guests come back year after year. Built in 1872, this is the oldest inn built for that purpose on the island. Guests can lounge in the common room or on the wide front porch.
