Every year we are fortunate to witness one of the most challenging bike rides. The Pan Mass Challenge otherwise known as the PMC. The route brings over 5000 cyclists past the Old Manse Inn. I believe most people have been touched by cancer is some way and I admire this group of amazing people who …
Lats night Rich and I ventured out for our annual lobster dinner at in Orleans. As we were entering our second summer here a very nice gentleman showed up at the inn and introduced himself as Don from The Lobster Claw. He gave us an envelope witha certificate for two free dinners of our choice. …
We are very fortunate that the Old Manse Inn is just a few miles down the road from The Cape Rep Theater. When we first bought the inn we found very little time to enjoy the arts but now we make a point to do just that. The latest play we enjoyed was Anna Christie …
The last two weeks have been exciting here at Old Manse Inn. Every year Cape Cod Life Magazine asks its readers to vote for their favorite places on Cape Cod. Everything from the best restaurants, best places to shop and best ice cream to name a few. Old Manse Inn won the most votes for …
A few weeks ago we began preparing our gardens for planting. When we bought the inn the areas where the gardens presently are were very over grown with brush and weeds. The area nearest the back door and kitchen was cleared first so we could plant an herb garden. We use the fresh mint in …
This past weekend, Brewster held its 27th Annual Brewster in Bloom celebration. The festivities were made especially memorable because everything at the Old Manse Inn, from the daffodils to the magnolia tree, was in full bloom. As a rule, all the daffodils pop up in March and are gone by the time Brewster in Bloom …
Although the thermometer did not make us feel that spring has arrived, my morning walk to the beach with Maggie did. First I would like to tell you about how inviting the beach is. After Storm Nemo hit Cape Cod we were devastated at how the beach had been transformed to what looked like a …
Losing an hours sleep didn’t detour a special walk for Maggie, me and our good friend Joan. We are always looking for new and different walks on Cape Cod. The 9 mile drive to Nauset Beach Salt Pond Visitors Center is open all year, giving breathtaking views of Nauset Marsh and the Atlantic. Convenient to …
We haven’t been quite as fortunate on Cape Cod this winter as last year. Storm Nemo arrived and the beaches got hit Cape Cod pretty hard. Here at Old Manse Inn,we did all the normal preparations for a storm. Rich went grocery shopping and took down all the flags. We put away or nailed down …
Happy 2013! We have finished taking down all our Christmas decorations – the sparkle and glitter of the holiday tucked away until next season. In 2012 we were blessed with the birth of another granddaughter and were thrilled that she was able to bring her parents all the way from California to share Christmas with …

Dear Old Manse Inn Family,
Charlie and Brian hope that this note finds you all doing well. We hope you enjoyed the 2022 season as much as we have here at the Inn. This past year has been the most busy the Inn has ever been! We thought 2021 was our best season, but 2022 eclipsed that by almost 20%. We hope that has something to do with the many improvements we have made and also to the new breakfasts that we have served each year.
While we are closed, the off season renovation activity has been on fire over the last few months! The sheer number of updates and renovations we have planned is staggering when we start to think about it – and cleaning up will be pretty staggering as well! LOL Please subscribe to our newsletter if you want more details on what we have planned.
Advanced reservations this year for 2023 have soared as folks look to get away more and we are reaching capacity already on a few dates for 2023. If you have any questions about booking a reservation or want more details about your stay, please reach out directly to us at the Inn via email (innkeeper@oldmanseinn.com or phone 508-896-3149). We look forward to welcoming you all for a great stay!
All Our Best,
Brian & Charlie
