If you're looking for a B&B that's within walking distance of town but tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place. Our husband and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary on the island, and I couldn't imagine a better place to stay. Innkeepers JeannE and Gerry's experience with operating a top-rated bed and breakfast is evident in... More

The Century House is an amazing Bed and Breakfast! Very cute, comfortable, and accommodating. Our room was cozy and inviting and the breakfast was one of a kind (make sure you try the homemade granola!). LOVED the innkeepers JeanE and Gerry! They were great at making you feel right at home. Visited with my now new fiance (thank you Century... More

Century house had a perfect location just a few blocks away from the center of town. The porch was gorgeous and our room was superb. JeanE and Gerry were incredible innkeepers and always willing to share in a warm conversation, not to mention offer you a very tasty cookie. We will be back for many years to follow as the... More

Location was great far enough from the rowdy center but so close that a 5 minute walk can get you to all of the great spots either to drink and party or just have a nice meal. Quiet at night so you don't have to hear the base rumble from the club music. Nice beds and great breakfast and outstanding... More

Gerry and Jean have a knack for making you feel at home. From the homemade breakfast (amazing granola!) to the story behind each of the pieces of art in the house these innkeepers have a special niche in the market of places to stay on Nantucket. Every afternoon there were homemade cookies that we could smell from the third floor... More

The hospitality and graciousness of innkeepers JeanE. and Gerry is matched by the warm and welcome feel of their inn. Not only is it very picturesque on the outside, with beautiful plants and flowers adorning the porches, it is just as lovely inside with all the rooms being exquisitely decorated and each one having a unique feel. And if you... More

The Century House was a wonderful place for an escape to the beautiful historic town of Nantucket on "The Far Away Island" Comfortable room with a bed as comfortable as a cloud, bountiful breakfast, short walk to town and beaches. Coffee and cookies, drinks and snacks any time. Lots of great books and movies!

The Century House is a gorgeous place. The unique collection of books and art makes it feel so personal. The rooms were beautiful and quaint, with such comfortable beds. To be honest, one of my favorite memories in Nantucket was breakfast at the Century House. It was delicious and fresh with so many choices! I can't think of what could... More

There is nothing i like more than to be welcomed back to the Century House by the ever gracious and charming Jean E. and the beloved raconteur and good friend,Gerry. Although expensive, so is everything else on Nantucket but well worth every penny! Instead of the Romantic name we love so well,The Grey Lady, I suggest a new name for... More

The location is perfect as everything is so close and yet you are not right on the noisiest streets. Breakfasts are great and relaxing. Bottled water, tea, coffee and soft drinks are always available out on the porch and in the cozy parlour. This is a lovely feature! We stayed for three nights in the Sweet Pea. I would not... More
