“Brass Lantern Inn stands out for its successful blend of historic charm and modern comfort, offering a particularly appealing experience for families and pet owners seeking a relaxed Nantucket getaway. The proximity to both the ferry and downtown puts the island's attractions within easy reach, while the variety of room styles accommodates different needs.
