Off the coast of Massachusetts lies the special island of Nantucket, where history lives and traditions are maintained . Nantucket is a unique and beautiful island, with miles and miles of sandy beaches, deeply wooded moors, colorful cranberry bogs, and an entire ocean beckoning from all sides. It's also a quaint island, where worn cobblestone streets, lined with the historic residences of whaling captains, lead to one of New England's most picturesque harbors.

Join us in September, when the weather is still wonderful and the crowds are gone!

At the Nantucket Inn, we've created an atmosphere that will make you feel right at home on Nantucket. Built around three beautifully landscaped courtyards, you'll find 100 spacious guest rooms and cottages, many with cathedral ceilings and fireplaces. You'll also find extensive recreation facilities that include indoor and outdoor pools, a health fitness center, two lighted tennis courts and indoor and outdoor whirlpool spas.
