Built In 1771, Cliff Lodge Is A Historic B&B In Massachusetts That Was Once A Sea Captain’s Home

With its history of seafaring, it's no wonder why historic homes that once belonged to sea captains dot the coastline of Massachusetts. Some have since remained homes or have been turned into museums or hotel accommodations. On the island of Nantucket, Cliff Lodge, a historic bed and breakfast in Massachusetts, was once home to a sea captain. A stay here means you'll experience the charms of days gone by while enjoying modern amenities.

Cliff Lodge is a historic bed and breakfast on the island of Nantucket. Located between downtown and the beaches, its location is wonderfully quiet and offers guests stunning harbor views.

Built in 1771, Cliff Lodge didn't always provide accommodations to travelers. In fact, it was once the mansion of a mariner and his family.

By the mid-1800s, the home was purchased and occupied for 50 years by poet Caroline Parker Hills who grew up on Nantucket.

Cliff Lodge offers a dozen rooms to choose from. Whether it's a standard, premium, or deluxe room, you can expect a comfortable space to sleep as well as hospitable service.

Each room is individually decorated and elegantly furnished.

If you need the space and privacy, book the apartment. Here you'll have a queen bed, a queen pull-out, a living room, a full kitchen, a porch, a private bathroom, and a private entrance.

Breakfast is delivered each morning between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. and includes gourmet coffee, fresh fruit, juice, yogurt, a house special, and a pastry.

When the weather is nice, make sure to spend some time outside in the garden and take in the views of the water in the distance.
