Fall In Love With The Cape This Season

While the calendar says it’s still summer, autumn is definitely in the air! 

Do you know what that means? So many wonderful Cape Cod events happen this season. The 17th Annual Wellfleet Oyster Festival is right around the corner, and it’s also Cranberry Harvest Season! We LOVE fall here, and you will too! Take a moment to plan that fall getaway this September or October. 

Many believe fall is the best time of year to visit Cape Cod; the weather is still mild, the water is still warm, the summer crowds have thinned out, and the fall foliage is firing up! (And yes, there is still time to finish that summer read on the beach!)

Check out what is going on this season on the Cape…

17th Annual Wellfleet Oyster Festival – October 14th and 15th  

This annual two-day family festival is a celebration of Wellfleet’s famous oysters, clams, and its deep-rooted shellfishing tradition. It is a weekend full of food, art, music, and games! 

Funds from the event go to support our fabulous local shellfishing and aquaculture industries! 

Cape Cod Cranberry Harvest Season! 

Fall is the culmination of the annual cranberry season. The harvests begin right around Labor Day for early varietals, but most cranberries are brought in during the month of October. If you’re susceptible to cranberry fever, there are several bogs you may visit for a self-guided walk. Some have produce stands or shops where you may purchase cranberries and cranberry-themed gifts. If you have more time and inclination, take a cranberry bog tour, meet the farmers who grow the cranberries, and learn how they are harvested and used.

A pandemic escape!

Amy and her staff are incredible. The attention to detail is hands down the best. Given all that is going on in this Covid-19 world, we felt safe and comfortable. Check-in was contactless. Our room was perfect. The breakfasts were wonderful and loved the cookies in the afternoon. The icing on the cake was Sweet Pea, Amy's dog, an absolute love! Amy, thank you, we'll be back!

Outstanding getaway!

This was our second time staying at this lovely inn. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the grounds are both spacious and tranquil. There is even a pool which is an excellent way to cool off after a day exploring the nearby trails or bike path. The breakfasts are creative and delicious and very filling. Amy, the owner and innkeeper is wonderful. She takes great care of the property and is so welcoming to her guests. She is very gracious in helping with advice on what to do in the area and making dinner reservations. We were among her first guests as Massachusetts began to "open up" during the Covid 19 crisis. She took great care to assure that everything was done to make her guests safe and comfortable. We look forward to returning.
