My husband and I stayed at the Inn to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was perfect. Our room had a very nice view of the water and the many different bird species hanging out there..enjoyed a glass of wine while watching blue herons, mergansers, and a Kingfisher from our room. We then headed down to the cozy (yet spacious)... More

Thank you for your kind review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. I love cooking breakfast for guests. Having eight children I learned to be good at making breakfast quickly. The Applewood Smoked Bacon is our specialty. I am a morning person and love meeting guests with freshly frewed Orleans Inn Blend Beanstock Roasted coffee. Hope... More

My husband and I just left the Orleans Inn this morning and the reason we went back is because, 2 years ago, we stopped in out of curiosity after seeing the Inn on Ghost Hunters. We stopped for dinner and we were talking to the young lady that waited on us (owner's daughter), and she was so nice and accommodating,... More

I'm terrible with planning things in advance. The week of my 4 yr anniversary I began trying to plan something for the weekend. I called all around the cape and no one would give us a room for just one night. Not sure how I had missed the Orleans Inn at the beginning of my search, but I’m sure glad... More

It was so nice meeting you both and hosting your anniversary. We have many couples that spend every anniversary here at the Inn. That weekend we also had two couples that were married here and spent their one year and ten year anniversary dining or staying here. I am so glad you chose to dine at the Inn as we... More

My husband and I took an impromptu trip to Cape Cod this Labor Day weekend and happened upon The Orleans Inn. We stayed for one night and had a great time. Ed Maas, the owner, upgraded us from a regular room to a water view room at no additional charge. The room was very clean and looked like any room... More

We stayed at the Orleans Waterfront Inn on June 29th, the inn having been recommended by friends who have a home nearby. That was the only advantage of staying here, proximity to our friends. My phone conversations with the owner were brusk and impersonal on his end. When I called back to confirm I spoke to a lovely man who... More

We do nice things for nice people. We give comp upgrades when possible but not to rude obnoxious people. We have a wonderful clientele because we do not tolerate this behavior. They and their friends are not welcome at the inn. This will assure our guests of a much more pleasant experience. Full breakfast is available 7am til 10am. Coffee... More

I have stayed at two inns on the Cape and both have given me the same impression. It's like staying with your crazy great aunt Lucinda whose granddad had a ton of money and bought this big, old house but the later generations never really had the money to keep it like it was. Floors slope, doorways are odd sizes,... More

The Orleans Inn is a beautiful, serene inn run by extremely generous and kind people who take so much pride in their establishment that you almost feel honored to be staying there!

The Orleans Inn turned out to be a fantastic place to stay while on the Cape - and we will definitely be back. We were visiting the Cape with some friends/family and the places we have stayed in the past were booked. We booked this place primarily on location and availability. We weren't expecting much but Ed and his team... More

We live in Orleans and are familiar with all the options available and it was the hands down choice for our daughter's wedding. Some of the out-of-town guests stayed at the Inn as well.
