Each visit reminds us why this beautiful bed and breakfast remains one of our favorite places on Cape Cod. Pete and Denise Butcher are exceptional innkeepers. Warm-hearted, welcoming, and genuinely caring, they treat every guest like family. They know your name, take the time to get to know you, and are always happy to recommend the best restaurants, beaches, golf courses, bike trails, hikes, sunset spots, Cape Cod League baseball games, boat trips, and hidden gems throughout the Cape. The inn itself is charming and impeccably maintained. The rooms are beautifully decorated, comfortable, and relaxing. On our most recent visit, we stayed in the lovely Nauset Suite and immediately felt at home. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, the pool is pristine, and there are inviting patio areas perfect for reading, relaxing, or chatting with fellow guests. One of the highlights of every stay is Denise's wonderful breakfast buffet. Her homemade specialties, including overnight oats and Swedish almond coffee cake, are memorable treats that start the day perfectly. Evenings are equally special. Guests gather around the large fire pit from 7 to 10 p.m., sharing stories, making new friends, and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Over the years we've met many wonderful people there, including friends who continue to return year after year. The location couldn't be better. Spectacular Nauset Beach is just a short quarter-mile walk away, offering endless stretches of sand, rolling ocean waves, fresh sea air, beautiful shells, and opportunities to spot whales and other marine life Some of our happiest memories are the evenings spent around the fire pit. Guests gather from near and far, and before long everyone is chatting as if they've known each other for years. We've exchanged travel stories, shared laughs, learned about different parts of the country, and picked up wonderful recommendations. What always amazes us is how quickly we discover a common bond. Whether someone is visiting for the first time or returning for the tenth, we all share an appreciation for the warmth, hospitality, and sense of community that Pete and Denise have created at Ship's Knees Inn. Those fire pit conversations often become as memorable as the days spent exploring Cape Cod. It's easy to see why Ship's Knees Inn earned recognition from Cape Cod LIFE Magazine's Best of Cape Cod Awards, receiving Silver Winner honors in the Bed & Breakfast/Inn category in both 2025 . It is a relaxing, rejuvenating, and peaceful retreat where hospitality is genuine and every guest feels valued. We can't wait for our next visit.

We've found the rooms to be clean, comfortable and well appointed. The grounds are beautiful and well cared for, and there is a nice pool area as well. The Inn itself is located just a short walk from Nauset Beach, which is super convenient. The town of Orleans has nice shopping and plenty of dining options as well. Denise puts together a wonderful breakfast each morning with a rotation of delicious baked goods and other treats. On this last visit I happened to mention that I love pancakes, and there they were the next morning! Again, if we ever have a special request, Denise & Peter will do everything to make it happen. We are so happy that our friends found this Inn years ago, and invited us to join them, and we've been returning ever since. If you are looking for a nice place for your Cape vacation, look no further.

The size and layout was great. The upkeep and maintenance and ultimately the cleanliness, left much to be desired. We had to spend some of our own time killing bugs when we arrived in the room. The cottage is old! The cottage needs renovations desperately and when it happens, I am sure it will be lovely but for now I would avoid cottage 7. I emailed pictures of the filth and the bugs to the cottages and they returned with a call where they said they would send the cleaning crew back. They did and all they did was clean the floor. This cottage needs a deep clean and to be renovated to be lovely once again. However, the water view, the peaceful and serene setting is magic! The sand was very seaweed filled which was not the case last year. It only took away from the beauty a bit. The green setting with bbqs and picnic tables is quaint.

If you want an ocean facing room, be VERY careful when booking. The rooms that have a beach connection are rooms 22-25. This fall I stupidly booked room 28, described as an "Ocean View room," thinking I was getting something else. Ocean view in this case means that you can look out your living room window, over the parking lot with a large dumpster, the vacant lot past that, and see a tiny stretch of blue water. The clerk this time was quick to say "Well we gave you what you asked for," and the choice was "Take it or leave it." Since we were 200 miles from home, we didn't have much of a choice. We booked that months before, and could have got one of the preferred rooms, but past visits have left me with the impression that they are all too happy to steer you to a room that isn't what you thought it was. Other than that, the room was very nice. We will probably go back because we know of no other place that can provide a dog friendly room like these.

Our room (#1) was immediately off the shared space by the door of the inn, so folks looking for more privacy and less noise from other guests should pick a different room. But we loved all the light we got during the day and the in room fireplace at night. In warmer months, there's a small porch off of this room as well (besides temperature, its a little too exposed to use in the winter as well). In the interest of indulging in some booze, we walked to two different restaurants in the evening: the Red Nun (straightforward cape sports pub) and Campari's. However, the walk to Campari's was a bit of a deathtrap considering there were no streetlights or sidewalks for much of the way. Go to to Red Nun if you value your life. Nick & Brian were consummate hosts, attentive and charming. Our housekeeper (Natalie?) was very sweet as well. The included breakfast was tasty and fresh. Don't skip the blueberry muffin, its delicious.
