Although our stay was only one night, we found the Hawthorn House to be a great place to stay. The inn was convenient to everything downtown- close to the ferries, all the shops and restaurants. The room was cute and we felt a great sense of privacy; our room (#2) even had a little porch with rocking chairs, which made... more

My Husband and I stayed at the Hawthorn House two weeks ago. It was our first trip to Nantucket and we were blown away by this little gem of an island. The location of the Hawthorn House can't be beat. It is walking distance to everything in town. I mean it is right there. That said it can be noisy... more

We just returned from our stay on Nantucket Island having stayed at The Hawthorne House. The accommodations were very beautiful and homey and the decor was absolutely exquisite. The innkeepers Mitch and Diane were very accommodating and helpful making our visit to Nantucket a very enjoyable one. We will be recommending the Hawthorne House to our family and friends. We... more

My friend and I arrived on Sunday afternoon and were met by one of the owners. This is our second time staying at the Hawthrone House and for the second time we were very impressed with the service and the room. If there was any problem, it was addressed right away. We had a more than comfortable room w/ a... more

Very disappointing -- Wish I'd realized how noisy a room overlooking the street right in the center of Nantucket could be. In a small, cramped room, with barely enough space to maneuver around the bed, you could either leave the windows open and hear cars and people going by until the a.m., then the trash truck early in the morning;... more

Would recommend staying at this no-frills bed and breakfast in Nantucket. The location is a short 5 minute walk from the ferry terminals and is smack dab in the heart of town. It's also located right across the street from the visitor's center. The rooms are simple but nice. Small hair dryer was provided. We stayed in room 6 and... more

After vacationing on Nantucket for the past 14 years, we have finally found THE place to stay--The Hawthorn House. It is charming in the truest sense of the word-- i.e.-- not pretentious or trying too hard. Just comfortable, peaceful and lovely. Can't wait to go back! p.s. The location can't be beat! more

My mother and I stayed several days at the Hawthorne House. The location is fabulous; a side street with very little traffic, only a few blocks from Main Street and pretty much in the center of the downtown shopping and restaurant district. We chose Room 1 on the first floor because it had two beds, something which is usually fairly... more

We stayed at the Hawthorne House one night in April. We started driving there on a Friday afternoon and arrived Saturday at 3:30 AM. We slept for a few hours in the parking lot of the Hy Line cruise and took the 6:30 AM cruise over to Nantucket. We rented a car from Young's Bicycle shop (an excellent place) and... more
