My husband and I went to The High Pointe Inn for our "babymoon". Everything was perfect. Debbie and Rich are wonderful innkeepers who kept us well fed and happy. Our room was spotless and so comfortable. We'll return as soon as we can!

We booked the High Pointe Inn for the night before and the night of our Cape Cod wedding. We could not have been happier with our brief, but wonderful stay. Our room was so romantic, deep red walls with a beautiful dark 4 poster bed, a fantastic view of the marsh and Cape Cod Bay, a lovely sheek and modern bath and some interesting artifacts from around the world. I thought it had a very "zen" feel to it. The common rooms were equally sophisticated and peaceful with a wonderful selection of complimentary cordials. Debbie has decorated everything with the eye of a professional designer. Breakfasts were fantastic with Rich's amazing creations including "southern fried eggs" on the morning after our wedding. Just perfect! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a night or two at this wonderful mid-cape inn. We considered it a home run!

I highly recommend the High Pointe Inn. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The inn is beautiful both inside and out. It is exquisitely decorated, yet comfortable, and it is extemely clean. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with wild flowers and gardens. The view from the upstairs rooms is terrific, and the deck off of the downstairs rooms are comfortable is relaxing. The attention to detail throughout the inn was amazing, Rich and Debbie didn't miss a thing. Speaking of Rich and Debbie, they are fantastic innkeepers. They are gracious and hospitable; extremely accommodating; have a great sense of humor; make you feel comfortable, welcome and right at home. We loved their yellow lab, Casey, as well, having Casey around truly made the inn feel like a home. My husband and I both agree that of all the inns and B&Bs we've stayed at over the years, we both felt most comfortable at the High Pointe Inn. We will definitely visit again, and will highly recommned it to friends and family.

High Pointe Inn is a fabulous B&B that highly meets every expectation for the perfect vacation get-away! The wonderful innkeepers, Debbie and Rich, warmly welcome you into their home with gracious hospitality. My husband and I enjoyed a very relaxing vacation within a serene setting with beautiful gardens as well as being close to lovely nearby beaches. I highly recommend this beautiful inn that offers daily gourmet breakfasts and all the comforts of home. The innkeepers also offer a variety of great suggestions for daily activities and help with finding excellent local restaurants. We really hope to return someday soon!

This place is a gem. The home is beautiful and expertly decorated. The rooms offer a beautiful view of Cape Cod. The proprietors are friendly. There isn't one thing they haven't thought of to make their guests feel pampered and special. The meal was excellent. Would we recommend High Pointe Inn to others? Yes! Would we return? In a heartbeat!
