Martin House Inn was built in 1803 by sea captain and gentleman
Nathaniel Sherman for his bride Hepsabeth. Situated in the heart
of Nantucket’s famed “historic district”, this resplendent
mariner’s mansion will take you back to a romantic place and
time when the new world was still being discovered and America
was hardly yet a notion.
Our spacious accommodations blend the convenience and comforts
of today with the romance and nostalgia of the past. Four-poster
and canopy beds, fireplaces, and authentic period pieces are
found throughout thirteen air-conditioned guest rooms.
The inn combines the charm and romance of a bygone era with all the
comforts of home. With its many comfortable gathering areas, its fireplaces,
the luxury of its rooms, its peaceful veranda caressed by light breezes and the
sound of classical music, and its spacious roof walk offering panoramic views of
the town and the harbor, the Martin House is a place that beckons you to
return.
We
serve a bountiful continental breakfast prepared by our pastry chef each
morning. In the afternoon, we serve homemade treats and we are the only inn on
Nantucket (other than our sister inn, the Cliff Lodge) to offer regularly
scheduled afternoon teas.
In
the heart of Nantucket’s historic district, the inn is just a short walk from
all the shops, beaches and restaurants in town.
