The Simmons Homestead Inn

The Simmons Homestead is the only Bed & Breakfast Inn in Hyannis Port and truly reflects the spirit of old Cape Cod. The entire house has been designed to be a Cape Cod bed and breakfast providing a warm, friendly, relaxing, and romantic atmosphere. It is a place to meet new friends, to feel at home, and relax. A pleasant haven to retire to after a day of exploring, it is situated where you can wander around Cape Cod, enjoy the beach, or take a day trip to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. At the end of the day, you will return to the Inn, sit on the porch with wine, and relax. Then go to some of the best restaurants on all of Cape Cod, which are less than a mile away. We take dogs of all shapes and sizes and same with kids, have handouts on what to do and see, WiFi Internet connections, discount coupons for restaurants, ferries to the Islands and much more. Just Perfect! The Inn was the homestead of the Simmons family, built in the 1800 - 1820 range by Lemuel Simmons, a somewhat famous old sea captain. It was a private Hyannis Port estate until 1988, when it was renovated and made into a great Bed and Breakfast Inn and finest Cape Cod Lodging. What was the original barn, now houses 4 more guest rooms, a common room and a billiard parlor (pool hall to you city folk). The house is historically significant, but the interior and furnishings have added a sense of fun and relaxation.

All the rooms are unique and beautifully furnished, some with canopy beds, brass beds and all with plants, animals, love and fun. All of the rooms have wonderful animal themes. In fact, most guests always call or e-mail to reserve the cat, zebra, elephant or other room by name. Each room is very different and has its own personality. We didn't start out with the idea of animal themes. Just kinda grew like Topsey. Guests have done their part to add to the clutter. Over the years, there are dozens of critters added to the rooms by guests. By now, it is totally out of control. There are 14 guest rooms in total, including a two bedroom suite set up just for families, and the Cat Room which is a two room suite with a sitting area and a separate king size bedroom. The rooms have either king or queen size beds. One has two twins. They all have their own private bathrooms, with irons, hair dryers and all that.
