Week to Nantucket - Stayed at Century House

We finally visited the island in October and loved this inn. What a great fall destination! The leaves were just turning and the island was much quieter than in summer months. We stayed at the Century House bed and breakfast, a beautiful historic building surrounded with great views. The rooms are decorated with paintings of Nantucket, antique furniture and books. We even met some of the artists that were painting then. The location is great for walking or simply sitting on the porch to relax without any crowd noise. Fantastic staff and an awesome breakfast! Loved our experience. Look forward to coming back in June 2008 to see the roses.

Highly recommend the biking trails near the Century House (Madaket) or any bike trails on Nantucket. Beautiful views and breezes. Best experience on Nantucket Island.
