The Lyon Street Inn is located about a five to ten minute walk from Main Street in Nantucket''s Historic District. Comfy quilted beds, lace curtains, and lots of country antiques give the inn a homey feel, and with seven guestrooms, the colonial style house is an intimate setting for a vacation. The bathrooms, fitted with antique pedestal sinks--some featuring iron tubs--add to the charm.
If you are coming from the Hyline and have bags to carry, be sure to take a cab to the inn. Once there, drop off your things and walk up Lyon Street, taking a left on fascinating Orange Street, lined with stunning colonial houses festooned with roses in mid-summer. You''ll also be able to stroll easily to dinner and shopping venues from the inn.
Breakfast is continental--that''s a rule for all B&B''s unless the kitchen is separate from the main house--and owner Ann Marie provides low fat choices for those aiming to look svelte in their swimwear.
