We were away with my mother-in-law and were so warmly welcomed at the Inn when we arrived. The rooms (adjacent and convenient to parking and dining area) were so cozy and comfortable but afforded everyone privacy. We were offered recommendations for local dining and received one which "made the day" for my mother-in-law. The continental breakfast was beautiful and plentiful... more

Ship's Knees was... more

The continental... more

My husband and I stayed at the Ship’s Knees Inn for a weekend getaway in July 2008. The inn has a fantastic location and the owners are very welcoming. They were pretty much always available to provide dinner recommendations or directions. The highlight of the inn is its location. It is located a short 5 minute walk to Nauset beach.... more
