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.

- Katie (10/5): - 10/10 So cute and quaint! The owners were so helpful, accommodating and friendly. They provided us with umbrellas, beach chairs and towels! It's located in the middle of town and walkable to everything. 100% recommend! Would stay again!
- Laura (10/5): - easy check-in! They were able to accommodate my early arrival. Clean and comfy, great location.
- Mary (10/5): - 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!
- David (8/5): - 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.
- Peter (10/5): - Ian was a great host. Super location.
- Christopher (10/5): - Perfect Nantucket inn. Right in the heart of shopping and town. Great host. A quiet place to rest.
- John (10/5): Nice, quiet stay - The room was great, very comfortable.
- Eugene (10/5): - One of the few family owned businesses with a wonderful location the Chestnut house was a relaxing getaway And walkable to all major restaurants and attractions. I highly recommend!
- Dawn (8/5): 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.
- Timur (10/5): - Jennifer was exceptionally nice and provided great information to help us get our vacation started
- Mygi (6/5): - Convenient
- Rosemary (10/5): - This house is in the perfect location. There are tons of restaurants and shops in every direction. I highly recommend staying here. The owners were super friendly and very helpful. We will definitely stay here again.
- Bernard (10/5): - 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.
- william (10/5): - A true Nantucket Classic. Great location. Spacious Suite. Friendly staff.
- DENIS (6/5): - Perfect location. Should provide at least coffee in morning. Should also have window ac in living room.
- Mellisa (8/5): Great location and comfy - Our hosts Jennifer and Ian were exceptional. Just wish they had coffee for guests in the morning.
- Sean (10/5): - This place is my style! Antiques and some old world charm. Very quiet. Comfortable beds!!!! Will absolutely book there again.
- Jeffrey (10/5): - Great cute little place…
- Philip (10/5): - Our room was comfortable and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The surroundings were pleasant; there was a nice sitting area directly outside the property. The proximity to the shops, restaurants, and attractions were very convenient.
- Janet (10/5): 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.
- JONATHAN (10/5): - Very pretty
- Marie Karen (10/5): - Had a lovely stay at this cozy gem!
- Kathleen (10/5): - Our host was extremely accomodating with our early check-in request.
- Peter (10/5): - A cozy inn that truly feels like a home away from home. Bonus: the library in the upper floor has an excellent selection of books about Nantucket.
- Kevin (10/5): - No coffee am
- Dallin (10/5): - Perfect place
- Matthew (10/5): - Great location and very comfortable
- Kristin (10/5): - We had a lovely stay at the Chestnut House and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Nantucket. The location was perfect since it was centrally located in the town and in walking distance to so many shops, restaurants and attractions. The room was clean and cozy and the staff was always available to answer our questions. We loved how they provided beach items like towels and umbrellas.
- Richard (10/5): - Great property and location. Would definitely stay here again!
- Matthew (10/5): - Great service
- Bryan (10/5): Perfect Central Location - This house hotel was wonderful. It was centrally located so that we could easily walk to many restaurants, shops, etc. We rented bikes for most of our stay and were able to lock them up on the property. They provided beach towels for us and have other beach needs available for use as well. They gave us an hour late checkout since we were having a hard time saying goodbye to the island. They also have an area to hold your storage if you need to check out before your flight departure. My only wish was that there was a window AC in the main living area of the room as well and that the fold out bed was more comfortable, because we had sleepers in that room, but otherwise, everything was absolutely perfect!
- Brianna (10/5): - This was our first time on Nantucket, and we couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more! The Chestnut House was so central to everything in town and close to all the WAVE bus stop locations. The suite we stayed in was perfect for all of our needs. It was clean, roomy, and decorated nicely. I would highly recommend staying here for anyone looking at visiting Nantucket!
- Meaghan (10/5): - Beautiful place to stay!
- Frieder (10/5): - We (a family of 3 with a young child) stayed at the Chestnut House for a weekend during the off-season. It was a lovely stay. The location is convenient, the staff friendly, the rooms clean and nicely decorated, and we loved the upstairs library. We will be back hopefully next spring!
- Shawn (10/5): - Excellent stay. Perfect location
- Allan (10/5): Recommended lodging on ACK - Extremely pleasant. Great location.
- Jean (8/5): - It was very convenient to downtown and to restaurants.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect location to town! - Ian and his Aunt are down to earth and very easy. Check in was a breeze and we came and went as we pleased with no interruptions. I cannot wait to book this stay again!
- Alex (10/5): - Wonderful spot right in downtown. The owners & staff are super friendly and helpful.
- Carol (10/5): Comfortable and great location. - The Chestnut House inn is in a great location. Quiet side street (we were here in early June so before high season). Places to eat all around for all meals. Easy 5 min walk from ferry docks. We really appreciated that we could leave our overnight bags there and explore Nantucket until our room was ready. The bathroom was small but had all the necessities; the sofa bed was reasonably comfortable (other person stayed in the queen bed); liked that there was both AC and also that the windows could be opened to leave a nice cross breeze coming through the room. Would definitely stay here again.
- Dean (8/5): - Property was well kept and clean, lots of plants & flowers. It is an older house type lodging. The room and living room were spacious and well kept. The bathroom was small so some people may have some difficulty with movement.
- Herbert (10/5): - I totally enjoyed my visit to Nantucket and stay at the Chestnut House. The Hostess was friendly and made my stay rewarding.
- Jennifer (8/5): - Adorable place
- Jenny (10/5): - Chestnut house was great! The room is a whole suite with living room and separate bedroom and an en suite bathroom. Bed was super comfy. There was also a fridge and several closets.
- Christina (10/5): Winter in Nantucket - Wonderful stay at Chestnut… we were able to check in early… we were close to everything. Town is a 5 minute walk.:: only issue was the bed… way to soft…we will be back again… soon!!!
- Caitlin (10/5): - Beautiful property, great location, lovely room, helpful staff!

- Susan (10/5): - So convenient and comfortable!
- Liberty (8/5): - Really great value- cool historic home right in the center of town. The owners/staff were great. No in-room coffee set up and our mattress didn’t really suit me but I’d definitely stay again. Can’t beat price and location and it was a fun and interesting place.
- Richard (10/5): - Great place. Central location, very comfortable.

- Elizabeth (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at the Chestnut House. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. It was so quiet! A quick and easy walk to shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay again.
- Tracy (8/5): Good location, street level noisy - Good location. Gentlemen who checked us in very friendly. Room had a funny odor. Stayed in suite 1, felt like I was literally sleeping on the street the first night, it was so noisy! Not the worst, but I would not stay here again.
- Gaines (10/5): - Nice people
- Verified traveler (8/5): Fun! - What a cute place! The staff/owners are amazing and very helpful. Couldn’t say enough about the service! 2 things I would change: 2 of the owners walked around the place barefoot, including when they were cleaning the room. Kind of a turn off. Also, the bed was so soft that my husband and I sunk into the middle together. Overall, it was fantastic, eclectic, great location and great service!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This is a very economical place to stay right in the heart of Nantucket. Easy walking to everything - restaurants, shops, bus stop. But be aware that this is not a B&B - no breakfast provided and despite what their website continues to advertise, there are no discount coupons or vouchers for anyplace available (and were not two years ago when we last visited!). They need to update their website and not advertise that feature. The accommodations are comfortable and basic,but it is difficult to reach anyone if you need anything or have a questions. We knocked as instructed several times on the door and no one ever answered. Even to check out we just left out keys. One day apparently the cleaning person had to go off island so out room was not cleaned at all. The next day we mentioned it and were told that the person was not available to take care of it. All in all, it's convenient, clean and takes care of the basics so just know what you are getting into! We have been several times and would go back again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved our stay this week at the Chestnut House! Prime location in downtown. Inn was clean and perfect for our family’s needs. Staff was so accommodating as we were traveling with kids and had a few requests. Crib was available and Jennifer was so sweet to show our 5 year old some things in the library. Will definitely keep in mind when we return to ACK.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is a lovely house. Old and cozy but modern where it counts -- a fabulous shower!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I would definitely stay here again. The people here are so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Comfortable bed and spacious. Affordable and it’s in town so convenient to walk to most places you wanted to.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very homey
- Anne (8/5): - Very quaint and great location! Old house, so expect some minor issues but overall great stay!! Easy walk from the ferry and into town. Parking is a nightmare, don’t bring your car, rent a bike instead.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Tight lobby but friendly staff
- Brian (6/5): - It was average.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Place in center of Town - Wonderful Inn. Cozy, friendly, clean adorable accommodations. Center of Town. Highly recommend!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It was amazingly priced for a winter weekend. Ian was great. It was a cozy little place for a mother-daughter weekend. We fell in love with Nantucket!
- Colleen (8/5): - No coffee machine , no one around to answer?
- Kevin (10/5): - Chestnut House is wonderful. I was helped by a young person named Ian, who was friendly and accomodating. I arrived on Nantucket early and I was able to store my bag until check in. Having multiple friends on the Island I was able to get out and about without the hassle of luggage. It is quaint and full of New England Charm. I will always try Chestnut House first when coming back to Nantucket in the future.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Beds were unbelievably uncomfortable. Absolutely unacceptable for a guest house charging upper tier rates. Suite was not ready at check in time of 3pm. There was an overwhelming stench of cat urine upstairs in the guest quarters. (Yes, a cat does reside in the house.) Due to the age of the structure and inconsiderate guests in the suite next door, we were subjected to near constant door slamming that sounded like gunshot. Suite itself was minuscule, and we also did NOT receive the suite we had chosen online. The ONLY positive aspect of this property was the superb location within the historic district... walking distance to great dining and historic sights, biking distance to many other sights of interest. However, to discover many of the Nantucket’s hidden jewels, renting a Jeep is critical.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing stay. The location is excellent. Everyone was so welcoming. Looking forward to going to back!
- SuzanneW (10/5): - Great location! Right in the middle of great restaurants and shopping! Cute hotel and very friendly my staff. Would stay again!
- Julie (10/5): Nantucket - Had a fabulous time at the Chestnut House. Everyone is friendly and has great suggestions. Loved all the art and handmade rugs. Truly a unique experience. Highly recommended
- Tanya (8/5): Our Stay - Very quiet and clean. All the amenities we were looking for. Pleasant and easy check in / out
