The Wagner at Duck Creek
This boutique inn has welcomed Cape Cod travelers since the 1930s. Today the property features three distinct buildings: the elegantly appointed 18-room Captain’s House; the cozy Carriage House, with its three rooms and deluxe suite; and, for families in need of an entire dwelling, the Cottage. After a day of exploring, make dinner plans at the hotel’s on-site tavern/restaurant, The Well.Wellfleet Motel
Biking is a fun (and convenient) way to avoid the Cape’s auto traffic. This neat and clean motel sits right on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, making for a quick ride to Marconi Beach, LeCount Hollow Beach, or even Nauset Light Beach, where there’s parking for bikes but not for cars. Named a 2014 Yankee Editors’ Pick for “Best Lodging Near Bike Path.”

The Even’tide Resort Motel & Cottages
At this family-owned-and-operated motel, guests have their pick of cozy motel rooms or more spacious cottages for their Cape Cod stay. A large indoor pool, outdoor deck, central playground, and barbecue all play starring roles at this modestly priced destination.Southfleet Motor Inn
This popular motel puts visitors in the heart of the action. The Southfleet is located by the entrance to the Cape Cod National Seashore’s Marconi Beach, offering easy access to the Cape’s bike trail, the Wellfleet Drive-In, and the Audubon Society Sanctuary. Guests also have the use of the motel’s hot tub, heated indoor swimming pool, outdoor pool, playground, and fleet of bikes. Lodging options can also be found in neighboring Provincetown. Below are two favorites.Harbor Hotel
Simple decor with retro touches is a reminder that this beachfront motel was originally built as a Holiday Inn. Rooms are set aside for pet owners, and various configurations, including connecting rooms, ease family sleeping arrangements. Bring sticks and marshmallows to toast at the firepit. Named a 2015 Yankee Editors’ Pick for “Best Child- and Pet-Friendly Lodging.”

Lands End Inn
Looking out from the high tower rooms hovering above Provincetown Harbor (each richly appointed with heirloom-quality antiques and private decks and patios), you’ll see the sea stretching out endlessly before you. Perched atop Gulf Hill in the town’s serene West End, the inn provides views of islands, clusters of sailboats, and winding beaches so enchanting that guests almost feel as if they’re out to sea themselves. Named a 2017 Yankee Editors’ Pick for “Best Inn with a View.”Guide to Wellfleet, MA | Restaurants

You should check out the art galleries in Wellfleet! They don’t call it “the Gallery Town” for nothing!
The Lighthouse (bar and restaurant); The Well (restaurant, tavern, irish seisuns); Van Rensselaer’s (restaurant); The Bookstore (restaurant); The Beachcomber (bar, music). Contrary to the caption, Land’s End is in Provincetown. I’d also recommend going to see the Marconi Station site before it’s completely eroded and fallen down the cliffs. And the Cape Cod Rail Trail; at its northern end, turn right onto Lecount Hollow rd., ride almost to the beach, then turn left on Ocean View Drive and ride parallel to the shore.
