June is the perfect time to escape to Cape Cod for a relaxing getaway. We love this time of year as the weather is warming, the flowers blooming, our salt water solar heated pool is open and ready for swimmers and the whales are here!

June is also a good time to visit the Captain Freeman as our rates are lower, and we still have availability for stays in June. Our guests have been thrilled and delighted with all of our winter upgrades including three new baths, luxurious locally made bath amenities, linen towels and expanded gardens with romantic fountains.

We also updated our front entry to include a new granite stairwell with side columns.

And while you might be tempted to relax at the inn with all of our wonderful amenities and comforts, there is also a lot going on in the month of June to enjoy during your stay.

Provincetown’s rich Portuguese heritage is on full display this particular weekend with a wealth of entertainment including a fishing derby, capture the flag race, a festival parade, concerts, kids games, and plenty of wonderful Portuguese foods. We love the parade and the Portuguese bakery.

There is something very magical about grabbing a hot dog, sitting on a lawn chair and watching an exciting game of baseball. We have many baseball scouts that stay at the inn during the season, and we love hearing about their excitement of all the baseball talent that comes to Cape Cod during the summer months.
Cape Cod Melody Tent – First concert on June 16th

Hunter Hayes opens this years season at the Melody Tent on June 16th with the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra performing on June 17th. For those that have not been to this unique venue it’s quite an experience. The small tent actually has good acoustics and a mixture of old and new talent. Check out their summer schedule and book your tickets early as many of the performances sell out.
Many of our guests decide to include a whale watching adventure during their stay. It’s quite an amazing experience to see these mammoth creatures up close and to learn about their habitat. All of the tours have a naturalist on board that identifies the different species. We have tickets for you at the inn or you can decide to include our Frolicking with Whales package to your stay which includes the tickets, lunch for two at the Lobster Pot and a care package of cookies, water, ginger candies for your stomach and sunscreen.
We also having many other plays, musical, museums, galleries that are all open for the season. We would be glad to help you with reservations. Consider a June getaway to our little slice of heaven on Cape Cod!
