Celebrate Christmas Stroll with Life House Nantucket
Don’t miss the 52nd Annual Nantucket Christmas Stroll (December 4-6, 2026)! Life House Nantucket is open for the festivities and ready to be your home base for a memorable winter weekend.
Life House Nantucket
Nearly 200 years ago, Captain Robert Calder built a Federal-style mansion atop one of the highest points on Nantucket. After experiencing generous receptions in ports across the Atlantic, he turned his home into an inn and opened its doors to travelers in 1833. We designed our House with a nod to his wife - a nonchalant innkeeper’s eclectic escape that reflects her flair for cultivating the island’s native botany and practicing holistic wellness while her Captain was out at sea.
