This was the best place on the cape my family and I have stayed at. We have been all over the cape at some good hotels. But the hometown feel and the beach front was amazing. We are definitely making this our summer time getaway every year.

The Lighthouse Inn is an incredibly charming place right on the water. My friend and I stayed in the unit with the widows walk which had phenomenal views. The room was adequate, cleaned every day, comfortable beds and in fact was two bedrooms with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The restaurant in the Inn itself was amazing. Wonderful food, local seafood. The staff was highly accomodating, the private beach was clean and relaxing. Mind you, this is not the Chatham Bars Inn but a lovely, lowkey resort right on the water in West Dennis and reasonably priced and extremely kid friendly. I will definately be going back

The rooms were beautifully updated and exceeded our expectations. The property itself is still a work in progress, with ongoing painting and exterior renovations. Once the cabins and surrounding grounds are fully refreshed, I believe this inn will become exactly what it’s striving to be—a charming, classic Cape Cod-style retreat with four- or even five-star appeal.

Beautiful location. Main building with restaurant and bar has great character. Note, it was just remodeled and restaurant opens next week. Our one king size bed cottage was spacious and had a sitting deck with an ocean view. Price was reasonable for the experience. Highly recommend!
