The Wauwinet
What the classifiers highlight
Ship captains built this Nantucket inn in 1876, nine miles from town, with a bay on one side and open Atlantic on the other. Forbes describes staying here as closer to marooning yourself on a remote island than a hotel stay: just 32 rooms, four cottages, no children under 12. Topper's wine list has won Wine Spectator's Grand Award.
