Main Inn

The Height of Comfort & Atmosphere

The Main Inn is the heart of the property, a Cape Cod landmark for more than a century. Built long before modern zoning, its setting could never be recreated today. Classic architectural details and sweeping sea and harbor views reflect its heritage, creating an experience that is authentic and unmistakably Cape Cod. For those who value history and atmosphere, the Main Inn offers a stay rooted in tradition.
