Family lodging with daily guest rooms or weekly cottages, with pool, 3 blocks to the beach
The Tern Inn is part of the Cape you might remember. We offer daily guest rooms with private bath, AC and color TV, and a lovely breakfast buffet each day. We also have 6 family cottages, fully equipped and ready for your weekly, in-season visit. Our rooms and cottages are updated on a regular schedule, yet maintain the charm of our settings. We hope to offer lodging for a reasonable rate so everyone can enjoy Cape Cod!
We are on 2 private acres, off of RT 28 in a quiet residential neighborhood, with a lap pool, basketball court, playground, and lots of quiet places. Just a short walk to a lovely beach on Nantucket Sound makes us a special location as well. Enjoy the local bike paths, or stroll our quaint villages. Spend a few days, or a few weeks, and enjoy the Cape!
