My husband, son and I just returned from a 3 night vist to Arbor Cottage and absolutely loved it! We stayed in the Harbor Suite on the 3rd floor. The 2 bedroom suite with private bath, sitting area and kitchenette were perfectly suited for our visit. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood, away from the busy downtown. The location is excellent, a short walk from the Ferry, downtown and Jetty's Beach. The staff was extremely accomodating, stored our bicycles, provided beach towels, water and chairs as well as offering many great suggestions for dining. This was our family's first visit to Nantucket and we'll be back...and back at Arbor Cottage!

We have stayed in Nantucket for 5 straight summer s with this being our first visit to The Arbor Cottages and the associated Verandah House.......and we have nothing but positive things to report about our experience. In fact, this will be where we stay from now on. The cottage is situated perfectly from Main straight about 3 blocks away so that everything is easily accesible and yet you are in a quiet part of town so it is peaceful and restful at the end of a long day of investigating the island. The staff was extremely helpful, courteous and professional which has not always been found on the Island.....and the breakfast and afternoon tea and cookies were scrumptous. What really makes this cottage is the overall cleanliness throughout and the meticulous detail to which all the rooms are decorated. Overall best place to stay in Nantucket......the associated Verandah House hotel rooms are just as nice but with more of a modern flair .

We recently returned from a three-night stay on Nantucket and had the pleasure of experiencing Arbor Cottage at Six Stepp Lane.

Our room was called Country Lane. It had it's own bathroom and the entire suite was clean, light and airy. The bedroom had four windows and the bathroom had two. The bed and linens were wonderful.

Although the room's decor is cottagy and quaint, with a wing chair, converted rope bed, and antique bureau, we also had a wall-mounted, flat-screen television.

We didn't see the owners during our stay but Hanlie, the house manager, took care of our needs and answered our questions. Her daily breakfast consisted of delicious fruit, homemade muffins, healthy cereal, toast and jam. Tea and homemade cookies were served every afternoon.

Arbor Cottage is on a quiet side street, yet we were within walking distance from the ferry and to everything in town. The rates were reasonable, for Nantucket.
