Cute and comfortable
Great location on Main Street. Parking lot holds 3 cars but plenty of free street parking. Enjoyed a nice glass of wine at check in and in front of the fireplace in my room while relaxing after dinner. Felt very safe and comfortable at this inn. Breakfast was at 9:00, 9:30 or 10:00. Had to pick a time at check in. There was coffee, tea and hot chocolate as well a bowl of apples and mandarins in the common room. Beautiful patio if the weather is good. I would definitely stay here again.

Very quaint, and well strategized in the detail of hospitality everything from a noise dampener to having the a picture frame of Nantucket Island centered perfectly in the room to relaxing music in morning to jazzy at night and there’s much more if you pay attention

Beautiful inn with unique layout and great location. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and their coffee/ tea/ and wine bar in the evening is a nice added touch. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again. The Milestone suite was small but had everything we needed. Make sure to ask about the front door being locked at night and using the side gate and door to avoid any confusion.
