So Saturday can be a very busy day for you, especially if you enjoy browsing. Who knows what treasure you will bring home from the Cape. I always enjoy the cut glass, silver pieces, and embroidered linens. My granddaughter enjoys the jewelry, and we like looking at old-fashioned toys (as she says). We try to find things that I may have had as a child. Great to reminisce!

So bring your walking shoes and we will see you on Cape Cod.

Cape Cod Hotels -- A Lodging Alternative at The Whalewalk Inn & Spa

Looking for the perfect place to stay on Cape Cod. Now that you have searched all the hotels on Cape Cod, take a look at our amazing inn on Cape Cod. Relax, rejuvenate, and have a great vacation while staying at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa. We offer everything you would find at a 5 star hotel -- elegance on a quiet country road, but close to all that Cape Cod is famous for. Even the Red Tailed Hawk agrees that this a great place to take a breather from everyday life. Here are 5 great reasons why we offer a superior stay.

You say you need to stay at a hotel to be pampered -- oh, not so! Here at the Inn we serve you a full gourmet breakfast at your own table for two. You can have a pleasant chat or read the paper while enjoying a great cup of coffee and homemade bread. Our entree varies daily alternating between a sweet dish one day (waffles, pancakes, or Granola Pizza), and savory the next (Scrambled Eggs over Portabella Mushrooms, our picnic breakfast of melon, Proscuitto, and egg salad, or Grand Marnier Oatmeal Pie). We always have granola and fruit in place of the entree. Dietary allergies or restrictions are met to the best of our ability.

Cleanliness is at the top of our list. Our linens are washed on property to ensure softness. They are ironed for a crisp look of comfort. The beds are made with two top sheets surrounding the blanket so you are always on a soft sheet. When you come back to your room after breakfast, it is made up for the day. You don't come back to a messy room. It is as nice as the day you arrived.

No matter the weather, you can always keep up with your daily exercise in our Spa. The exercise room is light and airy and conducive to your daily workout. Enjoy the sauna with its dry heat, or the hot tub if you want a little moisture in the air. Swim, rain or shine, in our indoor resistance pool. New this year is Wii Fit. My favorite is the bowling -- only game at which I can beat kids and grand kids. And, if you want the best massage in the world, book one right here at the Inn. Heather or Jan will take great care of you.

We sit on three beautiful acres of lawns, gardens and nature preserve. You can sit on your private deck and see rabbits, birds galore, fox, deer, squirrels, and an occasional coyote lumbering along. Enjoy our gazebo, the front porch of the spa, or stroll along the property and find the bench for a peaceful rest down by the meadow.

Most importantly -- it is amazingly quiet here. The only thing you hear are the song birds trilling, the Bob White saying his name, or the Phoebe Bird calling out hers. Sometimes you will spot a Red Tailed Hawk, often perched on the Spa roof. There is no worry of large trucks zooming down the road to disturb your sleep or the peace of your morning. Your romantic getaway or your summer vacation will be the best ever in any one of our elegant rooms, or in our upscale cottage chic rooms. Our Spa Pent House is the ultimate in luxury awaiting your arrival.

So now that you are convinced, give us a call (508-255-0617 or 800-440-1281), and we will see you at the Inn.

Celebrate Father's Day on Cape Cod -- Fun at the Provincetown International Film Festival, Hyannis Chowdah and Car Show, and Cape Cod League Baseball

June 14th Kevin and I went to the Annual Cape Cod Maritime Museum Festival. We had a great time exploring the tall ships. We saw the Alabama out of Nantucket and the Peacemaker. Did find out that if you were looking for a great week of vacation at the Whalewalk Inn and have children from the ages of 9 to 16, the Alabama offers a week of sleep-aboard sailing. It sounded like a great vacation for the kids, while you were relaxing here and being pampered at the Inn.

This weekend is the Provincetown International Film Festival. There is a cadre of movies for every one's taste. So come on over and enjoy the fun. If Jazz is your preference, the 5th Annual Provincetown Jazz Festival is August 14-16 at the Provincetown Hight School. The 3rd Annual Provincetown Music Festival is September 19th. Make your reservations and come to the Cape for artistic fun.

Looking for something a little more sporty -- rent kayaks for three hours of fun searching the beaches, marshes and more. Or, rent bicycles or bring your own, and take advantage of the Cape Cod Rail Trail, with its many cut-offs to the most beautiful beaches around. Baseball is at its best. Sit on a grassy knoll and enjoy all the fun. Bring your own peanuts and Cracker Jack and root for the home team's success.

Father's Day offers the Hyannis Main Street Car Show. View over 400 cars. Along with the car show is the annual WCOD Chowdah Fest. Sample chowder from many area restaurants. This event is at the Cape Cod Melody Tent at a cost of $10 per adult.

Some take some time from your busy schedule and join us at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa for relaxation and enjoy all that the Cape has to offer.

Baseball at its best is back and looking forward to a great season. Games for June are listed with time and place so you can plan to see your favorite team or teams. So don't forget to bring the peanuts and Cracker Jack.

Also, Father's Day is not far away. Give Dad a special time away (at the Inn). After a gourmet breakfast at the Inn, he can enjoy the car show in Hyannis, sample Chowdah from area restaurants at the Big Blue Tent in Hyannis, and then end the day with a game of baseball. Orleans will take on Chatham at the Orleans field. We will supply the blanket or beach chairs, and Dad can take a picnic supper to the game. Doesn't get much better. Take advantage of all the fun events that June has to offer -- come back to the Inn for peace and quiet after a hectic day -- and enjoy all that the Cape has to offer.

Staycation--No Way -- Pamper Yourself on Cape Cod, Relax at The Cape Cod National Seashore, Shop our Amazing Boutiques, and Enjoy Fabulous Restaurants

We keep hearing advertisements for "Staycations," What is up with that! One works hard all year just to gear up for VACATION. The idea of time off is to take advantage of the 4 "Rs" -- to rest, rejuvenate, relax and re-acquaint ourselves with those in our lives. How can one possibly do that, if they are staying in their own back yards. There is still cooking to do, so no great out-to-dinner meals. Beds still need to be made, rooms need to be picked up, and all those beach towels need to be washed. Staring at the lawn, you realize that needs to be mowed. You can't relax because someone always needs something from you.

Our solution -- Come to our back yard and start your vacation at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa.
No need to cook as you will have a gourmet breakfast upon awakening. Lunch is always great at a clam shack. Before dinner enjoy a light hors d'oeuvre on the back patio. And, of course, dinner can be either fine dining or relaxed. There is something for all palates. When you arrive back from dinner, search the video library, have a brandy or port, and a cookie, to appease the sweet tooth--Chocolate Sparrow has great deserts and candy, too. All that you didn't have to wash one pot, dish or pan.

As to your accommodations -- kick back and relax. Your room is freshened daily. Your bed is made before you finish breakfast. All you have to do is sit on your porch, balcony, deck or the gazebo, kick up your feet and read that book that is on your "bucket list." If you have dishes to wash, those will be taken care of also. No muss no fuss.

Stress Relief -- Bring those stress points to the Spa and have them worked on and out. A combination massage to alleviate those aches and pains, and soothe the senses is just what the VACATION ordered.

Take advantage of all that the Cape has to offer. The whales have been extremely wonderful this year, sometimes spotting up to 50 at a time. See the water ecology of the Cape, while taking a Kayak trip with the guides at Goose Hummock. Hiking, biking and birding are great sport found at the Cape Cod National Seashore and at the Audubon Nature Center. Wine tasting at the Truro Winery lends itself to a nice little respite in your travels -- and don't forget the spice shop across the street. Lighthouses dot the Cape for great tours and views. And, in the evening be sure to take in a play or two at the Cape Cod summer theatres (where summer stock theatre began.) And, soon Cape Cod League Baseball will begin. See baseball the way our fathers enjoyed it, sitting on a grassy knoll with your picnic dinner. Or, just simply take a walk at low tide on Cape Cod Bay, and watch for an amazing amount of sea creatures. Follow our simple guide and check off what you see.

So book your weekday vacation and remember until June 18th receive a 40% discount on any three nights, Sunday through Thursday. If you can only stay two nights, Sunday through Thursday, we will be happy to offer you our off-season rates through June 18th. Weekends are regular in-season prices now. Book early before your favorite room is taken. See you on Cape Cod -- the vacation that is only a car ride away.
