Timur, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

This place is my style! Antiques and some old world charm. Very quiet. Comfortable beds!!!! Will absolutely book there again.
Sean, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
David, 1-night trip

I was in Room 5 at the back of the property and it had windows facing all directions. Well appointed room that was relaxing and comfortable.

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.
Janet, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Perfect location. Should provide at least coffee in morning. Should also have window ac in living room.
DENIS, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Dawn, 2-night trip
