The Easton House Ask about our
early summer specials
The Easton House has welcomed guests since the early 1900's and has been in the Ross family since 1939. The current owners are Cyril and Judy Ross. They are both native Nantucketer's and are the third generation of family innkeepers. Cyril grew up in the Easton House, as did Judy and Cyril's three children (now grown). Cyril and Judy took over the Easton House from Cyril's parents in 1974.
The Easton House has ten lovely guest rooms on three floors. Each of the rooms has its own special character and is decorated in colonial style with beautiful oriental rugs, antique furnishings, old fashioned print wallpaper, original artwork, antique porcelain dresser trays and many more family treasures. Larger rooms feature queen sized canopy beds. Cozy, smaller rooms have double or queen sized beds featuring antique spool, cannonball, or pineapple bed frames. The beds are wonderfully comfortable and are made up with fresh line-dried cotton sheets. In cooler months, down comforters or handmade quilts adorn the end of each bed. Eight of the guest rooms have private baths and two rooms share a bath (1 queen bedded room and 1 single bedded room - perfect for a family or three people traveling together). All rooms are non-smoking and have air-conditioning and phones. Daily maid service and a full continental breakfast is included for all rooms. In-season rates are $125-225 per night. Please ask about special mid-week rates (Sunday - Thursday)!
Continental breakfast is served buffet style every morning in the warm and cozy first floor living room. Breakfast includes a choice of cereals, including Judy's homemade granola, fresh fruit, yogurt, homemade breads and muffins, juice, coffee, tea and other goodies. The living room is a great place to play games, catch a ball game on TV, bring a bottle of wine to enjoy, or just read a good book at the end of a full day.
If you enjoy flowers, be sure to visit the backyard garden! During summer months, the

beauty and pleasures of the island. Most of the downtown area is just a few minutes
walk from the Easton House.
(Parking on the Island is limited and traffic in-town rivals New York City at
times!) Bicycles and mopeds are the main means of transportation
around the island. Bike racks are provided in the backyard for guests who bring or rent
bicycles (be sure to bring your bike lock). Shuttle buses and taxis are
available to take you out of town, to the beaches and to other areas of the island. Helpful Links/Information Getting Here:

The Easton House is a charming and
historic
bed and breakfast located on a quaint cobblestone street in the heart of downtown Nantucket.
Originally built as a family home by George Easton in 1812, the
Easton House is now a
lovingly restored bed and breakfast in the Old Historic District. It is close to the
Whaling Museum, ferries, shops, restaurants, and Main Street, and is within easy walking
distance of Children's Beach, Brant Point, and Jetties Beach.
bursting with flowers of all types and colors. The garden is
a great spot to unwind. Reading a favorite book, chatting with friends, or napping
in a lounge chair under the huge catalpa tree are popular activities for many guests. Bike racks can also be found in the
backyard for those guests who bring or rent bicycles while they are here.
