This was the first time I had ever stayed at an Inn, but definitely not my first time in Cape Cod. Ship's Knees is very well kept Inn with friendly owners, yummy breakfast, and very clean rooms and bathrooms. When it says you can walk to the beach, they're not kidding - it's right there. The value makes it one... more

My 12 year old daughter and I stayed in Room 3 for 5 nights during a warm August week. The room was cozy and so quaint with tons of character being an original "old house" with tiny doors and low ceilings...love it. The bed was so comfortable, I don't know if it was the sea air but we passed out... more

Peter and Denise Butcher have much more than a lovingly decorated B&B, a short 1/4 mile walk to sand duned Nauset Beach. They have the personalities of people who enjoy what they do and work hard to make sure their guests feel welcomed. My wife and I went there for our 36th anniversary. We had a restful four days there... more

I must disagree with my friend from oakland - I also stayed at the inn in February for the same wedding and was very happy with the accommodations. The owners of the inn were warm and accommodating, and the continental breakfast was top-notch with home-made scones, fresh juices, cereals and delicious cookies available all day. Each room is unique, comfortable... more

We stayed at The Ship's Knees for a wedding a few weekends ago. A really ideal Cape Cod location from the outside, and nicely decorated, but the creature comforts are sorely lacking. If you're looking for comfortable beds, room to spread out, or spacious showers (couldn't really move in ours) then this isn't the place for you. The walls are... more

Late in June 2005, I celebrated my 77th birthday. In honor of the occasion, I had the pleasure of spending 4th of July weekend at the Ship's Knees Inn, a charming inn located in East Orleans on Cape Cod. The proprietors, Peter and Denise Butcher, are most hospitable and thoughtful. They learned about my birthday and surprised me with a... more

My grown daughters and I wanted a little bonding time on the Cape for a few days and The Ships Knees in Orleans seemed the perfect place to do it. I went to their web site and booked us two rooms for three days. Upon arrival. we were all excited as the Inn looked lovely. But when I went to... more

Arrived at the Ships Knees for a one night stay over Memorial Day. We have stayed extensively at Bed and Breakfast establishments up and down the east coast and were a bit disappointed. We didn't feel a very warm greeting and nobody showed us our room. I think the owners were leaving on vacation and appeared a bit distracted. The... more
