Chapoquoit Inn Bed & Breakfast

This charming, totally refurbished Cape Cod bed and breakfast inn was originally built in 1739 on land purchased from the resident Native Americans. Our bed and breakfast is surrounded by extensive gardens with a splendid array of seasonal flowers -- the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Each day, enjoy a gourmet breakfast in our sunlit, cafe-style breakfast room. Guests are also welcome to bring in take-out items to have lunch or dinner at home. A small refrigerator is located here. With whole-house bookings, the room can be reconfigured to meet your needs. 

Enjoy an early cup of coffee, catch a few rays, read your newspaper, watch the birds and bunnies, smell the flowers. Our backyard deck overlooks the garden and woods beyond. It has been the site of birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, and an intimate wedding reception.

Situated on over three acres, the Inn is surrounded by a splendid array of seasonal flowers. Mature shade trees and wooded paths complement the sunny gardens. The attractive gazebo is a favorite place to read, doze after a day on the go, or commune with nature or friends. The rocking chairs on our front porch overlook idyllic Oyster Pond and its resident swans and a great blue heron.

The common areas at Chapoquoit Inn provide an attractive and functional venue for special gatherings. We have hosted intimate weddings, small family reunions, alumnae weekends, business meetings, and baby and bridal showers. Special vacations for groups can also be arranged, for example, a health and fitness weekend.

When you book the entire house with its five guestrooms for two or more nights, you have exclusive use of the living room, breakfast room, deck and grounds. We can help you locate caterers and other outside resources to meet your special needs.
