The Inn at Duck Creeke

This inn has to be one of the most economical in its class. I stayed three nights in August, 2011 and last summer (I shared a bath both times but don't mind that; there are rooms with private baths, but I opted for cheaper). My rooms were pristine, the beds firm (I have a lower-back "issue"). The grounds, including the creek, are pretty, the folks at the front desk courteous and thoughtful. Ask for anything and if they can do it, they will. The adjacent tavern has a nice wine list, a moderately priced, good menu (mussels hors d'oeuvre outstanding).

Our last trip to the Duck Creek Tavern was delicious, cozy, and fun. Not only did we have great food but Judy, the owner, treated us like family.

Revisited this lovely old captain's house inn after a few years and found things even better than before! The rooms are quaint, clean and comfortable...many have been spruced up since my last visit. The staff was full of local knowledge and kind enough to let me look around at rooms in the Saltworks and Carriage Houses, as I am looking for a group visit in the Fall. The gardens and grounds have gotten a facelift while keeping the lovely old trees and the pond is always a pleasure...osprey and of course DUCKS. The Tavern featured a variety of items on the menu and folks from children to grandparents all seemed to be enjoying their fare. The seafood is fabulous and the atmosphere is casual and fun. Lots of locals hanging out to enjoy live music - not loud rock, but cool jazz - just my style. I found the Inn at Duck Creeke, once again, a refreshing alternative to the stale environs of a motel or the stuffy attitude of the fancy places now springing up all over the lower cape. It is comfortable, friendly and provides a great place to explore from - minutes to the Cape Cod Rail Trail for biking, Mass Audubon for bird watching, National Seashore for beaches, and a lovely stroll to Wellfleet Harbor.

Duck Creeke will always be our favorite stay!
