Duck Inn
$-$$, Aquinnah
Fodor's Review:
The Duck Inn, originally an 18th-century home built by Native American seafarer George Belain, sits on a bucolic 5-acre bluff overlooking the ocean, with the Aquinnah Lighthouse standing sentinel to the north. The eclectic, fun interior blends peach stucco walls, Native American rugs and wall hangings, and ducks. Three upstairs rooms come with balconies; a suite in the stone-wall lower level (cool in summer, warm in winter) has views of the rolling fields; and a small attached cabin (closed in winter) with separate bath is the least expensive room. The 1st-floor's common room, with a working 1928 Glenwood stove, piano, and fireplace, is the heart of the inn. Massage and facial therapies are available, and the healthful breakfast fare includes waffles with strawberries and omelets or chocolate crepes. This inn is very informal -- kids and pets are welcome -- and one night is free with a week's stay. Pros: A good value on this part of the island, totally secluded, ocean views. Cons: A longish drive from any large town, a very informal operation with no Web site, peaceful setting isn't ideal if you like lots of bustle.

Cute and Perfect!

We LOVED Elise and the Duck Inn! Three of us (me, my fiance and our dog) stayed in the cabin room, mid July 2006. Beautiful, affordable, quiet, charming, and friendly, plus- away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy sections of the island. Also- delicous made to order breakfast! We plan to go back year after year. A+++++!
