Set on a quiet street in historic Edgartown, this home was built in 1860 for the owner of a whaling company. Now, it is one of the island's most tasteful and meticulously maintained and decorated inns. Each of the 25 rooms is adorned with mahogany furniture, lush fabrics and brass lamps. Guests are welcome to enjoy tea and cocktails in the common room or take a leisurely stroll through the garden and courtyard. The excellent in-house restaurant, L'Etoile, is open for dinner and Sunday brunch. Keep in mind, no children under 14.
