For 30 years, “The Shack” belonged to Nantucket Looms founders, Bill Euler and Andy Oates. With its breathtaking view of the South Shore and rooms filled with eclectic artwork, handmade textiles, and antiques, "The Shack” was the definition of Bill and Andy's simple, yet elegant style - a style that later became recognized as 'Nantucket Cottage Style'.
