Captain Tom Lawrence House

estled back from the road and shaded by two ancient maple trees, the Captain Tom Lawrence House is an intimate inn for those who appreciate fine accommodations and warm hospitality in a beautiful setting. Located within walking distance of the main street of the historic village of Falmouth, this beautifully restored 1861 whaling captain's residence, offers six softly colored corner guest rooms with private baths and firm beds (king, queen and twin size) several beds with lace canopies.

Breakfast is thoughtfully planned and prepared by your hosts. You'll enjoy fresh fruit and a variety of creative entrees such as whole wheat Belgium waffles served with seasonal fruit syrups - the inn's specialty. Crepes, omelets or breakfast stratas, brimming with fruit or vegetables, are only some of the fine recipes that you will enjoy before a day exploring Cape Cod and the Islands. Coffee cakes, scones, and muffins - baked fresh daily - complement the sit-down breakfast.

Each of our six beautifully decorated guestrooms, each named for the seafaring adventures of Captain Lawrence, combines the elegance and grace of this 19th Century home with the comfort and conveniences of today. The guestrooms have a private bath, cable television, ceiling fan, and a small refrigerator for your convenience. Our fully furnished guest apartment to the rear of the inn, with its private entrance, eat-in kitchen, cable television, and central air conditioning, provides the privacy and spaciousness that a small family needs to spread out and enjoy a family vacation on the Cape. Down comforters are a favorite in winter. Antiques complement the comfortable fireplaced living room.

The inn is close to downtown, the beach, a bikeway, island ferries and the bus station. Explore the entirety of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and historic Plymouth by day trips. We gladly assist our guests with sightseeing and dining plans. We invite you to make our inn your home away from home, and experience the warmth and hospitality of this historic seaside village. Whatever the occasion - honeymoon, anniversary, or a weekend getaway - the Captain Tom Lawrence House is for you.
