Cliff Lodge - Historic District B&B with harbor views, garden, and rooftop terrace
Nestled in Nantucket's Old Historic District, the pre-revolutionary Cliff Lodge features accommodation with harbor views from its widow's walk rooftop terrace. This 4-star Nantucket hotel, originally built in 1771 as a sea captain's residence, sits between downtown's cobblestone streets and pristine beaches. The property offers air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, premium bedding, flat-screen TVs, and free WiFi. Select accommodations include kitchen facilities with refrigerators, ovens, and microwaves. A complimentary continental breakfast serves gourmet coffee, juice, fresh fruit, yogurt, house-made savory specials, and daily pastries. Cliff Lodge provides free private parking, a shared lounge, and a garden displaying original works by local artists. The property stands 0.5 miles from the Whaling Museum and First Congregational Church, with popular dining spots like Lola 41 and Le Languedoc Inn & Bistro within a 10-minute walk.
Pros
Pre-revolutionary architecture dating back to 1771 with historic significance during British Navy operations
Panoramic harbor views from the widow's walk rooftop terrace
Protected natural surroundings with endangered plant species including Russian olive and winterberry
Proximity to wildlife viewing areas for seals, dolphins, and whales
Cons

“Cliff Lodge's location in Nantucket's historic district, combined with its community-focused ambiance, makes it a standout choice; the architecture retains its original charm, and the staff seems dedicated to personalizing each guest's stay. I appreciate the hotel's embrace of local art and culture, and the proximity to both downtown and the beaches is certainly a plus. Overall, it strikes me as a well-situated and authentic option.”
