Travellers' Choice
Nearly 200 years’ of hospitality have unfolded within the shingled walls, dating back to the 1830s, when Captain Robert Calder built the Coastal Federal-style mansion as his personal abode between whaling expeditions. In 1870, Calder opened his doors to travelers, inspiring the design narrative of a nonchalant innkeeper's humble abode. The House reflects the nostalgic musing for the Island's native botany, fostering a retreat for holistic wellness. A retreat atop Nantucket's historic Cliff Road, the aesthetic nods to the home’s historic past and the island’s native flora via raffia writing desks and botanical walk-in shower details. All guest rooms are outfitted with Le Labo bath products, linens by Revival, and an air of Islander nonchalance.

Every bit of Life House was wonderful - from the music to the scents to the complimentary breakfast and more - it was a full sensory escape that allowed us to feel both "away from home" and "home" all at the same time. The staff, Scott & Emily, were so friendly and accommodating - both interested in our personal experience yet professional and accommodating and willing to go above and beyond to make us comfortable. We can't wait to return.

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. I travel a lot for work, and including other stays on Nantucket this was hands down the best trip I’ve ever been on. The staff was courteous, and did everything in their power to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The fire pit, cocktail hours, and specialty drinks were phenomenal. The beds were clean and comfortable, the showers had never ending hot water, and the complimentary toiletries were too notch. If your thinking about staying here, stop thinking and just do it, you won’t regret it.

We had the best time at life house. Chelsa and Emilio were fantastic hosts and went to every length to make sure we felt comfortable and welcome. The location is perfect to be just out of the busy main streets but an easy 5 min walk to the dock. Rooms are small but cozy, all the trimmings are top notch so you do not feel lacking for anything. We will 100% be back !

Oh influencers...that’s who is welcome! Because we certainly don’t feel welcome! As guests who spent over $1k/night, we still literally had to beg for water...in the afternoon and evening after dinner. Our room, which featured a porch, had no furniture. So we had to move chairs outside ourselves. Nowhere to hang towels or stash luggage. Maybe if you’re under 30 and sport a hefty SM following you’ll enjoy a better experience. For folks with $, travel experience and expectations, steer clear.
