Brass Lantern Inn

First trip to Nantucket, and the Brass Lantern was a great home base from which to explore. Nice relaxing patio area and comfy bed. Hard working staff too.

We stayed 6 nights at the Brass Lantern Inn, in the Brant Point Room. We highly recommend this inn! The location, rooms, breakfasts and staff cannot be beat. Sharon and staff were very kind and welcoming. We appreciated Sharon's help when our flights home got cancelled. The views of the harborfrom the Brant Point Room on the third floor are worth the steep set of stairs, but do keep that in mind if you choose this room. It could be difficult with heavy luggage. We loved that coffee, tea, cold water and fruit were always available. We liked sitting in the garden as well! Nantucket is a special place and this inn is sure to be one of our favorite memories.

A lovely and well run inn in a great location! We were in the Brant Point room on the third floor. If you have mobility issues this is not the room for you because the stairs to the third floor are very narrow and winding and you need to duck your head to avoid beams on the way to your room. The room itself is quite lovely- beautiful linens and a nice amount of space. The breakfasts are delicious! It's right in town so easy to get to everything. The outside patio is furnished with ample lounge furniture and tables and has attractive landscaping and shade. It's a wonderful place to relax and read a book or to eat breakfast outside in the morning. Would highly recommend.!

We booked the Barclay room for a long weekend. The room was spacious and clean - with a smaller, but very functional bathroom with shower. The bed was comfy with enough pillows for both of us. Of course, the original building is older, so you have to expect some quirks - the bathroom door is hard to close and there is no overhead lighting - which didn't bother us in any way. There was AC which we could control, which was nice. It's not quite a Bed and Breakfast in the true sense - for breakfast, you fill out your personalized menu of drinks, baked goods, fruit / yogurt for the next day. Then, you swing by the kitchen to pick up your tray for your room. So, you don't get breakfast service, but what we did get was nicely prepared with baked goods served warm - and they were able to have gluten free toast and muffins, which was a very welcome surprise as I have a gluten sensitivity. We were able to enjoy this on the outside patio which was comfortable and spacious. There are beach towels and chairs available for use. It was super easy to grab what you need and hop on the Wave bus that goes straight to the beach (Jetties beach for us). We very much enjoyed our stay and the innkeeper Sharon was very accommodating and helpful. The location was perfect for walking around town - no need for a car.

My stay at the brass lantern was wonderful. The location can't be better. You are close to town but away from the noise. The staff is wonderful and really makes this place shine. I have stayed at a few places on island and so far this would be my recommendation to friends and family.

The Brass Lantern is the perfect place to call home on Nantucket. Only steps away from the downtown action, yet the inn feels like a world away - the best of both world. Sharon and her team are top notch! The breakfast in the morning and the cookies in the afternoon, with snacks available throughout the day, was always perfect. We appreciated the complimentary beach towels and coolers, too. Can’t want to return.
