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!
