The Inn
As you drive through the massive pink granite pillars and wrought iron gate entrance, the beauty and elegance of the inn, and its manicured lawns and gardens greet you. Upon entering the Inn you will be struck by the expansive and grand foyer. Discover this stately home with graceful accommodations listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places under the name of Mostly Hall. The property was said to be given this name in the late 1800’s when a young boy visiting the home with his mother exclaimed “Look Ma it’s mostly hall”.
The Captain’s Manor Inn was the first summer home built in Falmouth, Massachusetts in 1849. It was built by Albert Nye, son of William Nye Sr. a prominent Falmouth businessman, town clerk, town treasurer and a selectman for 21 years.
Albert was a sea captain who became a “wealthy merchant of New Orleans and who was brought back to the Cape by his shipping business.” When Albert built The Captain’s Manor Inn in 1849 he did so as a wedding gift for his bride Henrietta Forbes. The Southern plantation style home with Greek revival accents was designed to make Henrietta feel as if she was back home in New Orleans. The property is very unique and is often cited as the only house of such a style on the Cape.
We invite you to step into a relaxed world of gentle elegance and charm. This special and unique estate features an elegant living area with the original black marble fireplace and expansive plantation style windows that open onto the vast wrap around veranda. The property has been lovingly restored with an appreciation for its beautiful architectural details and an integration of modern amenities and luxurious touches.
Each morning a full complimentary breakfast is served in the formal dining room of our Bed and Breakfast in Cape Cod. You may choose to sit at a table for two or up to six people in our elegant dining area or enjoy breakfast and fresh air on the veranda. Breakfast includes juice, fruit cup, cereal, granola, yogurt, a hot entrée of the day, muffins or scones fresh from the oven and a variety of coffees and teas.
Perhaps you will build new memories enjoying nearby beaches or a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard via ferry shuttles that are within walking distance from the Inn.
