The Carlisle House Inn is a perfect B&B for your Nantucket getaway. It's located on a cobblestoned street easily walkable to/from the ferry and Main St. shopping and restaurants. The reception area is very welcoming, bright, and cheery. The breakfast porch is sunny and cozy. The floors are creaky and crooked; a charming touch to the old home. We stayed... More

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at The Carlisle House Inn. We were greeted by Heather, the owner, and her wonderful pumpkin bread. Our room, The Tom Nevers, was located on the third floor and was clean, lovely and spacious. The Inn is a short walk to the center of town and Heather supplied us with directions as... More

This is a very charming B&B on Nantucket Island with a great location. The innkeeper was very friendly and accommodating and the inn was beautifully decorated and very clean. There is a shared computer and sunny breakfast room, where thankfully coffee was available 24/7! Heather, our host, served a fabulous breakfast including her homemade pumpkin bread and fresh fruit. We... More

We were supposed to stay at the Carlisle House Inn the weekend of Hurricane Irene. We live in Manhattan and had a flight to the island. Our flight was cancelled and the Mayor of NY was advising people to not travel. We asked for a refund or some discount on our stay at the Inn, knowing we had no way... More

This reviewer provides an incomplete account of what really happened when she called to cancel her reservation because of the storm. Our cancellation policy mirrors that of all the other B&Bs on Nantucket, and is in fact less stringent than some. When cancellations occur at the last minute in unusual circumstances such as those caused by Hurricane Irene, we offer... More

As far as old house B&B's go, it probably doesn't get any better than this. It literally IS within walking distance of the ferry and within the little town. It's actually tastefully decorated, NOT cutesy, very appropriately traditional Nantucket decor... it fits the area. Our room was on the third level so the roof had a slant to it we... More

I visited the island over Memorial Day Weekend and found this property through BedandBreakfast.com. The innkeeper was pleasant and accommodating during the booking process. I was only on the island for one night and was not looking for luxury, so I was happy with this charming inn and felt like the rates at this property were very reasonable. The best... More

The Carlisle House Inn has become a getaway that my wife and I look forward to every year. The Innkeeper Heather has welcomed us for years like we are part of her family. We are greeted with homemade delights on the counter and a smile. The morning breakfasts are delectable and the Inn's amenities (beach towels, etc) make traveling to... More

We were extremely pleased with our stay at the Carlisle House, a traditional bed and breakfast inn, conveniently located steps from downtown. Rooms are a good size for the island and kept clean, with everything in working order. Inn was quiet in the evenings and mornings, which we really appreciated for a relaxing long weekend. Nice common areas and beautiful... More

The Inn was a typical B and B. It had great location, and the owner, Heather was a great hostess. If you are looking for a reasonable place to stay in Nantucket (if there. Is such a thing), this is a good place. More
