The kitchenette was well equipped to store and prepare the rest of our meals on the days we chose to just stay in bed all day. The On-Demand choices kept our 4 year old entertained while we were in the room. We enjoyed a calm and comfortable atmosphere, while our hosts, Ron and Andrea, were gracious and available. Located right along route 6, we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet our room was. Being within walking distance of Fort Hill was an added bonus when we wanted to stretch our legs.

Ever since our honeymoon 48 years ago, the historic Ship's Knees Inn in East Orleans has been our…read moreultimate coastal sanctuary. Originally built in 1820 as a sea captain's estate, this 16-room bed and breakfast beautifully pairs modern comforts with authentic maritime history, even displaying original wooden "ship's knees" supports in several of its rooms. Innkeepers Denise and Pete Butcher cultivate a warm, family-like atmosphere that keeps a loyal community of repeat guests coming back year after year to relax, reset, and breathe in the fresh Cape Cod sea air. Our days are filled with wonderful memories, from enjoying Denise's exquisite buffet breakfast featuring homemade Swedish coffee cakes and quiches, to relaxing by the courtyard's cozy gas fire pit. The inn's location is unbeatable--just a 5-minute walk to Nauset Beach, which saves us a $35 daily parking fee. Whether we are catching a historic Orleans Firebirds baseball game, riding bikes on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, or enjoying fresh lobster rolls at Cap't Cass Rock Harbor Seafood shack while watching the sunset, this inn truly feels like our second home.

We've been visiting for the…read morepast 15 years, and it's always a pleasure to enjoy a Cape Cod weekend with Innkeepers Denise & Peter at this delightful inn. We've found the rooms to be clean, comfortable and well appointed. The grounds are beautiful and well cared for, and there is a nice pool area as well. The Inn itself is located just a short walk from Nauset Beach, which is super convenient. The town of Orleans has nice shopping and plenty of dining options as well. Denise puts together a wonderful breakfast each morning with a rotation of delicious baked goods and other treats. On this last visit I happened to mention that I love pancakes, and there they were the next morning! Again, if we ever have a special request, Denise & Peter will do everything to make it happen. We are so happy that our friends found this Inn years ago, and invited us to join them, and we've been returning ever since. If you are looking for a nice place for your Cape vacation, look no further.

The Fort Hill trail is one of the most random, yet satisfying spots on the Cape. It's tucked away…read morebehind some property from the 1800s, then suddenly you're in marsh heaven. The marsh views are stunning and the panorama is exceptionally wide. The amount of space to roam makes you feel one with nature while still safely knowing your car is 150 yards away. I actually enjoy this spot a bit more in the winter. Come summer, the amount of bugs that yearn for your flesh can kind of soil the experience. The bugs want my blood, it's pretty tasty (I've tried it), but you end up slapping yourself on the legs for 30 minutes instead of enjoying the view. The path around the hill and along the marsh is quite long, so you can carve out an hour to enjoy it. Apparently there is a bathroom nearby, but damned if I've ever seen one. While this trail isn't "unknown" by any means, there are rarely many of people like most overlooks/attractions on the Cape. This primarily attracts locals, photographers, and people just looking to have a quiet moment. Add it to your itinerary for your next pass through Eastham!

A trail for hiking…read moreand looking The Fort Hill Trail is actually a serious of trails, including the Red Maple Trail. The area is sometimes called the Fort Hill Historic District and includes the old Captain Penniam House. It's a great place to spend a day. It's not the greatest place for strenuous hiking because the trails are relatively short, although if you include the walk along the ocean you can get a pretty good workout. The area is more for looking and understanding. Cape Cod is a terminal moraine, which means this is the place where the glaciers stopped about fifteen thousand years ago and all the rocks and dirt just dropped as the two mile high glaciers retreated. It's is a geologist's dream with evidence of the glaciers everywhere. Look around and you will see kettle holes where blocks of ice got caught and left huge depression in the land when they melted, some half a mile across Look some more and you will notice lots of glacial debris, erratics, kames and large boulders everywhere. Irregular pamets meander around like they aren't sure which way to go. Look more closely and you will notice a huge boulder with deep scratch and gouge marks. Probably a spot where native Americans sharpened their weapons. If you aren't interested in the geology you can enjoy the huge variety of wildlife, trees and flowers. Or perhaps the fantastic views of the barrier island, swamps, fields, marshes or ocean. Unfortunately some of the indigenous wildlife includes large biting flies. On some days the horrid creatures are so bad that even with deet the area is virtually impassable. Come back a week later and the flies are gone. I suspect the little bastards all hatch at once then lay eggs and die and a new batch quickly grows and looks for blood. If you enjoy history the Captain Penniam House, with it's cool whale bone arch is just down the street.

Jennifer is a wonderful host and is so helpful on the property and what's going on around town. The area is quiet, clean, peaceful. The cottages are fully furnished with all you need in the kitchen. Each cottage is appointed with everything, outdoor showers, bbq grill even charcoal to get you started. And they are Clean. This matters. Some cape cabins or rooms tend to be musty or messy. Sorry, but I've been coming here for 45 years and nothing's changed. Cottage grove cottages are impeccable. This is a quiet refuge from kiddos. Sorry, but that's my take on it. There is no pool, no playground, none of that. Plenty of those elsewhere and that's where the kids are. Go enjoy that if that is what you need. This is quiet and wonderful for adults, couples, singles, artists, empty nesters or anyone wanting to get away from screaming, kids crying and yelling, parents, cursing, car horns.... Ah. Back to serenity. Isn't that better? This is the best there is. Close enough to PTown, Wellfleet and Truro. Go to Nauset lobster pool, get a few and bring it back for a nice dinner on your picnic table. Stars are out. You got back from free music on the beach. Go to your cottage in a peaceful grove Set back from route Six. Get ready for a quiet night on the Cape like it used to be.

Wonderful hosts--a couple who know the area well and can advise regarding beaches, local restaurants, and other attractions. Good conversation--only when we sought it. Only down-side for me: spotty T-Mobile reception, but that was a problem in that part of the Cape. They do have wifi and Internet.

I found them extremely accommodating and easy to talk to. From the moment we checked in, at breakfast, throughout the day and when we checked out, every interaction was calm, caring, engaging and thoughtful. I found a great deal for the Penny House on Living Social and was so glad that I purchased it and went to visit. Upon entering, the atmosphere was clean, stylish and very comfortable. I was extremely impressed (except that the artwork in the living room was not my taste at all- but that's a personal thing) Otherwise, the layout was large and felt really spacious, there were lots of windows letting in plenty of natural light. Because we were there during the off-peak season we had a choice of rooms and chose to stay in the Captains Quarters which was UNREAL!!! Talking to the new owners, I know they are planning on updating all the rooms but as it was, we were extremely happy. We completely fell in love with this room. Full of old world charm, dark wood panelling, dark rustic wood beams, 4 post king sized bed! The room had comfortable chairs, fireplace, separate bathroom and the most unbelievable spa tub I have ever soaked in. We made sure to use the tub every night we were there, especially after our day of hiking around Provincetown on the beach and in the dunes. So good for sore muscles. The breakfasts were great! We were served homemade granola, yogurt, eggs, bacon and either waffle or pumpkin pancakes and everything was so tasty. There were also cookies and scones complimentary and you could help yourself to tea or coffee throughout the day. I felt so at home here, I didn't want to leave. The last day that I was there, I treated myself to 90 min massage in their amazingly beautiful spa. I had a great treatment and I am extremely picky. (this is coming from a fellow Licensed Massage Therapist) Janet really did a great job working specific points and areas of my body to release tension while giving a fantastic overall relaxation treatment. The spa itself is beautiful, the owner told me it's the first thing they renovated when the purchased the Penny House in June. It's tastefully decorated in a modern yet calming style, the colors and decor are warm and soothing, with another beautiful jet tub, two massage tables, a fire place and great amenities. I'm already trying to plan my next visit to Penny House Inn & Spa- I can't wait to go back and relax, hopefully for more than just two nights next time.
