The House of the Seven Gables was built in 1885 and was originally the annex for the Sea Cliff Inn, which was one of Nantucket's oldest hotels before its destruction in 1972. The annex was constructed during the Victorian era at a time that there was very little growth on the island. The "Seven Gables" is one of the few and finest examples of architecture during that period.

Located on Cliff Road the Seven Gables is a ten minute walk from Main Street and is a very short walk to beaches, tennis courts, bike shops, museums and restaurants.

The House of the Seven Gables is a quiet informal inn featuring ten guest rooms. Eight of the rooms have private baths and two share a bath. The bright and sunny rooms are nicely furnished, including some period antiques. For your relaxation and comfort there is a parlor with a TV,  patio (with TV), a large back yard with gardens  where you can read,  relax,  enjoy the sun or  bird watch.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served to your room, on the patio or in the parlor each morning.  The trays are set with Nantucket flowers, coffee or tea, juice and fresh baked coffee cakes, muffins or Portuguese rolls delivered from The Nantucket Bake Shop.
