Afternoon Delight

While the Inn sets the stage for your romantic Cape Cod getaway, the surrounding area offers extraordinary opportunities to elevate your experience.  Stroll hand-in-hand along long stretches of sandy beaches or explore acres of nature trails.   For something different, visit local craft breweries and wineries offering tours and tastings that combine education with a touch of fun.  Guests also rave about the eclectic museums and galleries scattered across Cape Cod, making them a must-see on your itinerary.

For adventurers, the iconic Cape Cod lighthouses beckon.  These historic landmarks, each with a unique story, line the coastline of Cape Cod and make for a perfect day of exploration

No vacation is complete without some retail therapy. Hunt for hidden gems in one of our unique antique shops, boutiques, and thrift shops for the perfect momento to take home.  These shared experiences make for great bonding moments and lasting memories.

Starry Nights and Candlelit Dinners

Few things capture the essence of romance like a candlelit dinner or dining by the water.  Cape Cod’s vibrant food scene ensures a variety of culinary delights throughout the year.  From cozy fireside dining in winter to alfresco meals in summer.  The options are endless.  Clam shacks, farm-to-table restaurants, bistros, and cafes as well as waterfront eateries share a commitment to fresh, local ingredients. (Please note that several eateries are only open seasonally. We recommend checking their hours of operation first or feel free to ask us for a suggestion.)

For an evening of culture and entertainment, Cape Cod offers live entertainment in theaters, music venues, and art centers. Right across the street from the Captain Farris House, the Cape Cod Cultural Center, is a treasure trove of events and activities.  Consider attending an evening concert or participate in a hands-on workshop to make your getaway even more memorable.

Yarmouth Winter Carnival: February 15 – 17, 2025

Looking for something fun and unique?  The Yarmouth Winter Carnival, held annuallly in February, offers a delightful experience with an outdoor skating rink, food trucks, s’mores, and more.  After a day of winter festivities, return to the inn to warm up with a cup of tea, a relaxing bath, or a cozy moment in front of the fire.
