Best night sleep I had all week! As pilots my husband and I are on the road a lot. The Carlisle Inn on Nantucket was a very pleasant place to stay, super quiet, clean and comfy. Staff were very pleasant during check in and out. We hope to get the opportunity to stay here in the future!

Was our 1 year anniversary and our first trip to Nantucket together. The Inn was an easy 5 minute walk from the ferry and with bike rental we were set for the weekend! Out King room on the 2nd floor was lovely and spacious and had a charming street view.
PROS: large room with sitting area; tastefully decorated common areas and the garden was recently redone; WONDERFUL continental breakfast on day one with the best berries and lox! (No lox or tomato for bagels on the second day tho); secure area to park bikes.
CONS: odd bathroom configuration with step up into the doorway- cut my head open lol; window AC has BRIGHT LIGHT on control- it felt like I was looking at headlights of oncoming cars all night; Slightly unnerving that the front door of the end was left open all night; The end Keepers seem to be having an altercation with someone that lived in the property that had not registered other guest, that was happening right in the reception room by the front door and made me a little uncomfortable; I think lots of people drink iced coffee for breakfast, so it would have been nice if glassware was provided.
Sadly, even tho i discussed my anniversary with the owner when I called to discuss my room and late check-in, no one made an effort to wish us a happy anniversary, no card or even greeting, saying happy anniversary when we arrived. It would’ve been nice if someone made our day feel special by saying some thing at least.

We had such a beautiful time here. My partner was a little too tall for the room, but the California Queen was a delight. Wonderful linens, beach bag and towel included, and so close to so many awesome experiences including the WHALING MUSEUM which is well worth the visit.
A local tour guide knew exactly where we were staying and picked us up right outside the inn. He even brought a list of owner history. Short and lovely walks to historic sites, Shellfish Hatchery, the ferry, and of course shops and restaurants.
I did have a little incident one night which got me to the hospital, but all the employees were understanding and accommodating.
I loved the continental breakfasts. A healthy and relaxing start to the day. Fellow guests were lovely, we had a couple excellent chats over s’mores at the fire pit. Did some beespotting by the hydrangeas and enjoyed the birds as well.
The stairs were steep up to the third floor, so we were very grateful for the outdoor ramp with a gorgeous courtyard view. We kept the windows open our entire stay. After long days trekking around we returned to ice cold cucumber and citrus waters in the lobby.
Nantucket was out of our budget, but so worth the investment. I had so much fun chatting with local shopkeepers, visitor services, and historic society members who all love this little paradise so dearly. Whaling Museum will be changing up their exhibits in 2027 so expect us next time!

Just a little walk (3 blocks) off the main shopping & dining area. Close proximity to Hotel Nantucket where our event was planned. Lovely experience all together!

I have stayed at a lot of Nantucket Inns and hotels, and this is one is now one of my favorites. Freshly decorated and clean, a really nice breakfast buffet included, with indoor and outdoor seating areas. Nice touches like fresh baked cookies in the afternoon. Location is very walkable to town shopping while still on a quiet side street. Note that stairs to second floor are steep and narrow.

We had the BEST stay for 3 nights. The hotel was clean, cozy and adorable. I loved the little touches like warm cookies & daily s’mores by the fire. I could not recommend this hotel enough.

The property is great. The inn keeper is really nice and will try to personalize your stay. The room
Is exactly as advertised. We stayed in the Cisco room. We were very comfortable. The bathroom and shower are small, but this is a historic property from the 1700s so you should expect that. It’s a charming b&b and I would return. The staff and owner really care about your experience and it shows.

The pictures on website are misleading. Wasn't aware of community restroom and room was so small, you couldn't move around easily.

Just lovely. Terrific central location but quiet with secluded garden seating. Helpful owner who gave practical advice about how best to take full advantage of the island while also avoiding crowds.

We had a wonderful stay. The location and privacy are perfect. The innkeeper was extremely helpful and even though we're in a pandemic we felt totally safe. I love the fact that inn is 255 years old. To me it is the perfect place for a history buff to stay on the island. I can't wait to go back and will definitely recommend for family and friends. As a former island resident, I couldn't have been happier.

Very quaint Inn and rooms. The innkeeper, Jeanine, was very friendly and helpful. We loved everything about this Inn and our stay. A nice, 5 minute walk to downtown and only a 20 minute walk to the closest beach. The included breakfast was very good and we certainly helped ourselves to the fresh, warm cookies each afternoon. Our room and bed were very comfortable and we loved the sitting areas outside. Far enough away from the hustle & bustle and noise of downtown while not too far.

The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating. She has done an amazing renovation of this beautiful old home and I was very comfortable in my room. (Small comfy room with a shared bath ) There were big fluffy robes provided, which made it more comfortable sharing a bathroom! The location is dynamite, being in the center of town. Breakfast was lovely and the coffee strong. I will definitely be back!
