History
Life House Nantucket occupies a Federal-style mansion built in 1833 at 10 Cliff Road on Nantucket, originally the home of whaling captain Robert Calder, an ancestor of the sculptor Alexander Calder. Known for generations as the Century House, it began welcoming guests in 1870 and is often cited as the oldest continuously operating inn on the island.
Blue Flag Partners acquired the property in January 2020, and it reopened in August 2020 under the Life House brand, a boutique hotel company founded in 2017 by Rami Zeidan. The intimate inn offers roughly 14 to 17 rooms.
The setting
Life House Nantucket stands on 10 Cliff Road in Nantucket Town, Nantucket. The filed cluster sits behind town at Mika's Pond, but the night is the harbor: cobblestones, Gray Lady fog, and shingled hotels within a walk of Straight Wharf. Main Street after the ferries still smells like roses.
