Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Sophisticated innkeepers Deborah and Ken Withrow have a terrific location for their historic 1770s property, just steps from Main Street yet in a quiet, residential section. Ken's experience in big hotels shows in the amenities and full concierge service offered here. The Withrows have completely restored the inn, highlighting its period charms and updating all amenities. Many rooms have canopied or four-poster beds; half have working wood-burning fireplaces. All rooms are decorated with antique furniture and fixtures, some with toile wallpaper and Oriental rugs. The comfortable beds are made up with Egyptian cotton linens. Bathrooms are equipped with piqué-woven bathrobes and large terry bath towels. Unlike many Nantucket inns that are forbidden by zoning laws to serve a full breakfast, this inn's location allows a superb complete breakfast on the garden patio. If you are hanging around in the afternoon, there are usually home-baked cookies or other goodies to sample as well. There's also high-speed wireless Internet access throughout the inn.
