The nineteenth-century cedar-shingle inn has "an ideal location if you want to disconnect, but not be completely cut off from the world," nine miles northeast of downtown Nantucket. Decorated in a "quaint and sweet esthetic," expect floral chintzes, antique pine, and hand-stenciled finishes on walls. Topper's offers modern American cuisine using local, seasonal ingredients, and hosts cooking demonstrations. Take a sunset cruise aboard the Wauwinet Lady.
