“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart”. – Helen Keller

1. Plan a Getaway

Start by booking a room at the Inn. Sometimes you need to get out of town to unleash the romance in your relationship. Whether you choose one of our lavish suites or a comfortable guest room, you’ll enjoy all the amenities you’ve come to expect from an award-winning bed and breakfast inn.

2. Take a Hike Together

Even on the coldest day, bundling up for a hike through the woods or along an uncrowded beach is a great way to unwind, especially knowing that you have a warm and cozy room to return to at the end of the day.

3. Explore Something New

Discovering new and wonderful places to explore together is a great way to make memories. Get out a map and circle a destination you’ve been meaning to visit. You may have been to the Cape before, but there’s always something or somewhere new to discover.

4. Make a Scrapbook of Your Relationship

Scout out photos, gifts, trinkets, maps, tokens, or anything that you have been saving that reminds you of a special/fun/romantic time the two of you spent together. Working together to create a “memory book” will bring back memories of why each one was so special. Cozy up in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine from a local vineyard and craft away.

5. Build a Sandcastle on the Beach

Cape Cod is surrounded by beautiful beaches. Pack a picnic and head out to your favorite one to play in the sand. Scour the beach for some flotsam and jetsam to decorate your sand palace, or hunt for a sea glass treasure to take home with you.

6. Experience Afternoon Tea
