We stayed at the end of the rope cottage and it was absolute perfection - all of the staff was incredibly helpful and went out of there was to make our stay feel special - I would absolutely recommend for a relaxing stay on Nantucket. Also want to note that it was very kid friendly as we had brought our 6 and 9 year old children.
