"If you can tear yourself away from "Gerry's Berry Buffet Breakfast"
or afternoon cookies and cream on the veranda, you might consider touring the surrounding area
where this charming 1830's B&B is located; classic styling is met with luxurious modern amenities at this cliffside spot frequented by TV producers scouting locations and soaking up works of the former artists-in-residence."

Denise and Richard, August 13, 2007

We had the most amazing stay at the Century House.  Perfect location-dreamy breakfast!  Nicest, warmest place to stay on the island.
 

Carolyn and Peter, August 13, 2007

Best places to stay on Nantucket Island. Our stay in the Red Dahlia was divine.  The room is a masterpiece-soothing breezes, comfortable bed and crisp bed linens and the Molton Brown products In the roomy bathroom did not go unnoticed. Internet access throughout the house kept as connected with our son at camp.  We vacationed calm and worry free.  We will surely be back.  Carolyn and Peter, Concord MA
 

TJ and Kathleen, August 8, 2007

 

The Century House is where you want to be to experience the true feeling of Nantucket.  From the warm accommodations to the friendly staff, we will never stay anywhere else on the island.  Our ten-day stay was the perfect honeymoon."

Lissa and William, August 5, 2007

We just wanted to write to tell you how much we absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Century House.  We immediately fell in love with the inn's charm and felt right at home as everyone (staff and guests) were super friendly and helpful.  We loved how the Century House was quiet and intimate and yet close to all the little shops and wonder of downtown Nantucket.  Additionally, we greatly appreciated our newlywed bottle of champagne and the memories.  We will be sure to see you next year for our anniversary.  Thanks again, Lissa and William

Shelley and Ed, July 8, 2007, Broad Axe, PA

 

Thank you for the opportunity to experience Century House.  Our room was lovely-the artwork and fabrics and having a fridge. The inn was immaculate and the breakfast delightful.  If our future plans include Nantucket, we'll be sure to think of Century House first.  Sincerely, Shelley and Ed

John and Klare, 07.07.07, Nantucket Wedding, Toppers at the Wauwinet Reception

Staying at the Century House as a part of our wedding celebrations was a true pleasure and we want to thank you for making the preceding it, even more memorable.
You and your staff made our and our guests' stay at the Century House above and beyond very special consideration that we expected.  Your attention to details was impeccable. You were wonderful and we appreciate it. 
Kind Regards, John and Klare, New York, NY

"I had the good fortune of spending 2 nights at the Century House recently.  This classically decorated inn situated just a few steps from the downtown area of Nantucket is the epitome of gracious hospitality.  The welcome mat is clearly out for guests who appreciate the extra thought that has gone into making it feel like you are spending time with long lost friends.  Their kitchen is your kitchen as you gather for a lush continental breakfast and help yourself to the abundance of fresh fruit, cereals and pastries.  Each guestroom is individually decorated, blessed with Molton Brown products, cable television and a selection of reading materials.  Beverages are always available and a wide sweeping front porch and accompanying patios offer a lovely place to gather.   Innkeepers, Jean and Gerry, make a special effort to reach out to their guests and to share the Nantucket they love.  You will love it too." www.travelxperts.com

Tina & Mario, August 14, 2006

"Just a note along with some pictures to tell you much much we truly enjoyed staying at the Century House. We fell in love with our room, the house, the service, our surroundings and both you and Jerry. You made our stay a very pleasant one. Your staff was so professional, warmhearted and so caring of our needs. We loved the Century House. It's so romantic, and beautifully designed. Each room has so much history and meaning behind it.... Walking into the Living room each morning smelling the freshly baked muffins and fresh brewed coffee, was a smell and sight we will NEVER forget!
Thank you so much for everything! We love Nantucket so much, and definitely will see you next summer! Enjoy the pictures, as we have. We looked at them over and over."

"The hospitality was great!  Gerry is a gifted conversationalist.  The art in the inn is a measure of the fine people and artists who have stayed at the Inn.  In short, you'll thoroughly enjoy your stay at the Century House."

"The Century House is a beautiful place with great hospitality and lots of fun."
                                       
Joel Jacobs, Ex New England Patriots; May 2006

"The weekends I have stayed at the Century House have been by far the most relaxing and rejuvenating times in my hectic schedule. How easy it is to be swept into the peace and beauty that surrounds all you do while staying at the Inn. From the fabulous art galleries and beautiful guest rooms to the unbelievable breakfasts and accommodating innkeepers, there is nothing about the Century House that could be better. There is no doubt that Nantucket is a very special place to visit; and while on the island the Century House is, without a doubt, the best place to stay."
                                        
Kathleen G, Massachusetts; Season 2005

"Not long ago I had the delightful pleasure of spending a long week-end at your charming Bed and Breakfast. From the moment I arrived I felt the magic in the air and was instantly swept away with the charm of Nantucket Island. The Century House, with its large wrap-around porch, begged this weary traveler to enjoy an early morning breakfast or just sit for hours with a good book. I even found my room complete with an immense bookcase filled with hundreds of unread stories. Every attention to detail was set forth for my comfort and enjoyment. I returned home with a calm soul and a more serene outlook on life...a wonderful tribute to the innkeepers and the professional staff."      
                                        
Catherine, Season 2005

"Nantucket is a beautiful island, with so many things to do -location, boating, tennis, restaurants. Century House is so charming with an extremely gracious host. Can't wait to return to such an idyllic place."
                                         
Carol, Season 2005

The old world elegance of the Inn, coupled with the warm hospitality of the proprietors in the best of locations make the Century House a vacation to remember."

"A quiet old world haven, close to beautiful beaches and strolling distance into town - where the ambiance is only exceeded by the hospitality."

                                            Michelle Lynch & Robert Thoubboron, Ireland; July 2005

"The Century House is at the heart of everything, yet one step removed...it's the best of what it means to be on Nantucket."                             Lynne and Tracy, Wakefield, RI; June 2005

"A place for everything, and everything in its place. Wonderfully relaxing.
                                             Christina & Tim, Highland Mills, N.Y.; June 2005

"As I sit at this warm and homey sitting, just having finished a wonderful breakfast of homemade fare I feel grateful for this respite from my usual busy life.  The atmosphere at this lovely inn is so enjoyable and warm.  I feel like I'm visiting family.  Everyone is helpful and kind and the accommodations are exceptional.  I will recommend this delightful inn to my friends and hope to visit again one day."

"This fantastic little oasis in a charming New England Island relaxed us completely.  We loved the inn on a quiet street in a great room & bed!"                           Thomas & Sandra, Chicago, IL; June 2005
                                                                                                

"We were very fortunate to have our 4 daughters give us a gift certificate to stay at the Century House for our 40th anniversary.  They used their computer skills to find the Century House website and I must say they made a great choice.  The friendly innkeepers, JeanE & Gerry, the lovely decor and the delightful buffet made for a wonderful stay.  As an artist myself, I must add that their choice and abundance of art work is outstanding.  Each room is a mini gallery.  Such a wonderful place to spend time on this beautiful island.                                     Dave & Joan, Warwick, RI; June 2005

"We spent our honeymoon at the Century House five years ago! Time goes so fast. I have fond memories of the island an our stay at your wonderful bed & breakfast. There is no doubt we will return.  Your website is well done."

"My wife and baby son and I spent a long awaited getaway/honeymoon at your inn in 1994. We visited and biked all over the place and discovered that there's more to discover! Can't wait to re-visit my home state and go back to the island."
.   .   .

"I lived on Nantucket for 5 years. In October, during the cranberry harvest, visit the cranberry bogs. You will witness colors so vivid and so spectacular you will come back every year."
