Scene
A charming, historic inn with modern features
The Captain's House Inn has a rich history. Originally built in 1839 as a home for Sea Captain Hiram Harding, the inn has retained much of its character and architecture from the 19th century. Rooms are split between the hotel's four distinct sections: The Greek-Revial style Main House; the Captain's Cottage; the Cairrage House; and the Stables.
The inn is set on two acres of land. Inside, it has been updated with modern amenities, including free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs.
Although the inn is decorated with plenty of interesting antiques, the atmosphere isn't stuffy or formal. The friendly staff keeps things casual and laid-back, especially during a leisurely gourmet country breakfast or English cream tea in the afternoon. During pleasant weather, the lovely patio is another peaceful spot to relax. Guests that need help relaxing will find a library full of books and DVDs to borrow.
Location
In a quiet neighborhood walking distance to the beach and Main Street
Captain's House Inn isn't located on the waterfront, but it is in a quaint, residential area close to the action. Chatham Harbor beaches and Main Street are both within walking distance of the inn, and the historic Chatham Lighthouse is only one mile away.
While some Cape Cod towns have become more commercialized over the years, Chatham has retained that small town feel. Main Street is full of shops, galleries, restaurants, and weekly summer concerts at the Kate Gould Park. Chatham is surrounded on three sides by water and there are plenty of beautiful beaches to enjoy. Fresh seafood is another highlight of visiting the Cape.
Located right in the elbow of Cape Cod, Chatham is a perfect jumping off point for day trips too.
Rooms
English country decor with antiques and memorably soft sheets
Each of the 16 rooms in Captain's House Inn has a different look and feel. The elegant, English country decor includes antique furnishings, floral prints, and lots of wood. Some rooms are light and bright while others have richer colors. Rooms are spread throughout four different buildings: the Main House, the Carriage House, the Stables, and the Captain's Cottage. The Garden Room may be the smallest on the property, but it offers some of the best features, including a two-person shower, private patio, and gas-fired pot bellied stove fireplace.
Features
Gourmet breakfast
While the Captain's House Inn doesn't have a waterfront location, it does offer many other features. A gourmet country breakfast is served every morning from eight to 10 a.m. in this historic bed and breakfast, and afternoon tea and evening snacks are served as well.
