“...It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins, the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea--whether it is to sail or to watch it--we are going back from whence we came."

John F. Kennedy

Nestled in a wooded residential area - just a short stroll to the ocean, you will find Lion's Head Inn.

Once home to Thomas L. Snow, a captain of Orient-bound schooners, Lion's Head Inn has welcomed Cape Cod visitors for 'half a century'. While the early 1800's dwelling has been expanded and updated over the years, adding to the comfort of guests, much of the original Cape Cod architecture and romantic charm remain.

Come back to 'whence you came' and enjoy the feel of the Cape while relaxing in one of six comfortable guest rooms or two fully equipped cottages at Lion's Head Inn.

Guest Rooms:

All six guest rooms have a private bath, a comfortable sitting area and air conditioning. Each room is tastefully decorated with period furnishings reflecting the charm and romance of an English Country Manor.

The Snow, Roberts and Rose rooms each have a queen-size bed as well as a day bed to accommodate an additional guest.

The gracious Canterbury Room has a canopied queen-size bed, the original pine floors and a private deck overlooking the pool. The Llanfair Room, decorated in white wicker, has a double bed and a window view of the pool and gardens. The Huntington Suite offers a king-size bed and a double trundle bed, providing sleeping accommodations for two additional guests. This oversized room also features a large sitting area with a sofa, stuffed easy chair and color cable TV. French doors lead directly to the pool and garden areas from the Huntington.

Common Areas:

The spacious, fireplace Living Room and cozy Parlor are inviting places where bed and breakfast guests may read, relax or visit. On a brisk afternoon or evening, a warming fire welcomes friends home after a day of touring the Cape. Interesting reading material and color television are available in the parlor.

The bright Terrace Room, looking out on the beautiful gardens, patio and pool, is where a hearty Continental-plus breakfast is served each day. Guests often gather in the Terrace Room during the afternoon and evening to play cards or board games. In-season beverages and tasty light snacks are served in this room daily around 4 P.M. A small refrigerator and telephone are made available here for the use of bed and breakfast guests.

Cottages:

Adjacent to the Bed & Breakfast are two family cottages which are normally rented on a weekly basis, Saturday to Saturday, from mid-May through mid-September. Shorter stays are available during the Spring and Fall months.

Each cottage offers a fully equipped kitchen with dining area, a living room with a futon (sleeps two) and color cable TV. Each primary bedroom has a double bed and a bath with shower.

Outside, are picnic tables, barbecue grills, another shower and a large play area for children as well as a 20’ X 40’ in-ground pool.

The Wanderer, the one bedroom cottage, will accommodate up to four guests and the two bedroom cottage, The Morgan, easily accommodates up to five people.

The cottages provide a perfect setting for a family summer vacation or “Holiday Getaway."

Associations:

Lion's Head Inn is a member of the Massachusetts Lodging Association, Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, Harwich Chamber of Commerce and Harwich Accommodations Association.
