My boyfriend and I were in Nantucket for a friend's wedding and needed a room on very last minute notice at a very reasonable rate, for just one night. With the help of the nice fellows at the Visitor Information office, they made a call to Dottie at The House of Seven Gables B&B. She offered the exact price we were hoping for on very last minute notice. The B&B is walking distance to downtown, very quaint and quiet and Dottie who runs the B&B is super friendly and welcoming. The room we had was nice and comfortable and the entire place was quiet. I definately will be staying the next time I go to Nantucket and recommend it to others as well!

After a hiatus of a few years, we returned to ACK and this lovely B&B. We had stayed several times previously at the Seven Gables and found it quite chariming, well located and with a run by a very lovely staff. I am please to say that all of our expectations were once again met, and actually exceeded. Dottie was as friendly and accomodating as ever, and the usual high standards we were accustomed to at the inn have definitely been maintained. Simply put, I can't find any fault with the Seven Gables and we look forward to our next stay.

Recently my wife and I decided to get away for a long weekend, and we wanted to try Nantucket. Our main goal for the weekend was to relax, and we hoped to find a decent place at a reasonable price.

Our search was not easy. Besides limited availability during the high season, in Nantucket, "reasonable price" seems to be an unknown term, with rates of $300+ per room not being unusual. Luckily though we persisted in our search and came across the House of the Seven Gables.

We were quoted a last minute rate of $155, for a queen bed room with private bath. I must say I was a little hesitant, given the drastic difference between other rates, but after reading the Trip Advisor reviews we decided to go for it.

We're really glad we did. After a very short cab ride from the ferry, we received a warm greeting from Dottie, one of the innkeepers. She gave us a crash course on where to go and what to see, and showed us to our room. We stayed in room #1, which is on the first floor at the front of the house. The room was larger than we expected, as was the bathroom. I was a little concerned about potential noise issues, especially in old houses such as these, but as we discovered we rarely ever heard any of the other guests, and noise from the street was never an issue.

The location turned out to be better than we expected as well. It's a short walk to town, just enough to burn off dinner without feeling like a trek. It's also about a 10 - 15 min walk to Jetties beach, through some really beautiful neighborhoods.

Breakfast was about what we expected, with juice, coffee/tea, and bagels and muffins. What was nice though was the patio out back where breakfast was served (if you didn't want breakfast served in the room). The patio looked out onto a nice little garden with a fountain, with landscaping that strategically blocked out the neighboring houses. We opted to eat here each day, and met some really nice folks from the midwest and the UK. On one rainy day we also spent several hours on the patio (under the awning of course) reading books and drinking wine.

This Inn definitely helped us achieve our goal and I would definitely consider returning in the future.

We decided last minute to stay on Nantucket and I called the Visitor Ctr to ask if they had any cancellations at B&Bs. The House of Seven Gables had the best room and the best rate. We stayed in room 11 which was the top floor with a king bed and sitting area looking out over the houses to the water. While the bathroom was a little small, we fell in love with the room almost instantly.
The location is great and very convenient, just off the main drags but close enough for a quick walk to dinner. Practically right next to Something Natural where you can pick up sandwiches before heading to the beach.
Breakfast was small (english muffin, baked blueberry bread) but the coffee and juice was lovely -and it was delivered to our room which made for a nice, relaxing, romantic breakfast in bed. Perfect morning snack before hoping on the bikes.
All in all we loved this house!
