Some Carriage House rooms are not as up-to-date
Nonantum Resort occupies two buildings: the historic Carriage House Inn, with Victorian-style rooms, and the Portside Lodge, which features bright rooms decorated with paisley prints. Room decor varies incredibly, and some rooms are more pleasant than others, but all feature flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. A popular wedding spot, the hotel is on a beautiful piece of land overlooking the water, but visitors are given a limited window to enjoy the resort -- the hotel closes for four months during the off-season. During the summer, families enjoy the activities-packed kids' club, small pool, and kayak and bike rentals, and can also make use of the hotel's free shuttle service that will go to any destination -- including local beaches -- within a five-mile radius.
