Historic charm, lots of wonderful amenities (great breakfast, coffee 24/7, toiletries, wifi), friendly and helpful owner. Best of all, easy walking distance to everything in town. Comfortable beds, quiet street. Will definitely return. More

My husband and I had a chance to take a one-night trip to Nantucket at the end of March and stayed at this lovely and comfortable inn. There is so much to enjoy and appreciate about the Carlisle House - its proximity to the town and ferries, its wonderfully named rooms and suites, and the fabulous breakfast prepared by Heather,...

My husband and I stayed at the Carlise House in March. We stayed in the Sankaty suite which had a working fireplace. I highly recommend this for an off season stay. The room was warm and heated, but the fire each night at bedtime made it wonderful. The location is perfect. Easily walkable to everything, but not in the middle... More

The Carlisle offers everything you could look for during a Nantucket getaway...the ambience is warm, and the decoration in keeping with the antique nature of the former 18th century Nantucket private residence. The accomodations are clean and well kept as are the shared areas which include an inviting sitting room replete with books about the island, the breakfast porch which... More

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
