The Captain's Quarters Ocean View Apartment and Nauset Suite round out your accommodation choices. We absolutely love the Ships Knees Inn! This was our third stay there. Beautiful rooms and property. Great breakfasts, too. The innkeepers, Peter and Denise Butcher, are lovely people and always make us feel welcomed.

I just returned from a 2 night stay and can't say enough about this place. The attention to detail made it extremely cozy and felt like I was at my home away from home. There is a special check in/check out procedure due to covid and it was super easy and made my arrival and departure seamless. The room I stayed in was immaculate and very cozy. It was the queen superior and came with a fireplace. Plenty of parking and a short ways to a gorgeous beach. I was traveling alone and felt very safe being by myself there. Highly recommend.

Ship's Knees Inn is a pleasant and convenient B and B. Covid protocols were in place when we stayed and had an easy contact-less check in.
Breakfast was provided everyday to bring back to the room and was obviously prepared with care. The room was well decorated and comfortable. Walking or biking distance from the beach makes this location feel prime.
The grounds of the hotel were well manicured, staff was helpful and safe. Overall wonderful place to stay on the cape!

We had a great stay -- short walk to the beach and very comfortable bed! Due to ongoing COVID restrictions, breakfast was bagged instead of the buffet but it was the most unique and thoughtful breakfast I've ever received at a hotel. Little details, including placemats, were not lost on us, and it was a little bit different each of our 3 mornings. The owners seem to take a lot of pride in the guest experience. This is a very friendly little inn and we'd be glad to stay again on our next trip!

Last week we enjoyed another relaxing & enjoyable visit to the Ship's Knees Inn. Things are different than usual due to the pandemic, but the owners have done all the right things from a hygiene perspective, yet retained the charm & amenities available to guests. Pool & gas firepit are still available and bagged breakfast is still provided. Owners are still very responsive through text & email and any request is addressed promptly.
We always enjoy our visits to the Ship's Knees and this time was no exception.

I am a bit delayed in sharing my review. We stayed in late July/early August, and we had such a wonderful time! Ships Knees Inn is beautiful, cozy, spotlessly clean, elegant and refined without being the least bit stuffy or pretentious, and just has a really nice, relaxed vibe. The grounds were lovely and the pool was beautiful, and we used it every day, usually twice a day. Peter and Denise were both so friendly and nice and so helpful, and replied to texts very promptly, accommodating any needs and offering advice and suggestions for the area. We stayed in three different rooms (we returned to

This place has it all! Took a little trip down to the Cape for one night and chose the perfect place to stay. Lovely room with thoughtful homey touches that you can only find in a place that is well taken care of and loved by its' owners. Super clean room and bathroom, with elegant brand new tile work, and very comfortable bed - slept like a rock! We even checked out the fire pit at night for a nightcap. The couple running the Inn were super helpful and had amazing recommendations for every meal. The puppy they had running around, Marley, was as cute as ever and very friendly. The breakfast in
