Chatham Guest Rooms

A home away from home in Chatham:
We loved our recent stay in Chatham and especially staying at the Chatham Guest Rooms. We stayed in the upstairs ‘Main Suite’ which was spacious and comfortable for our family of 4! We really enjoyed having a full kitchen to cook in and a washer and dryer too! The apartment also came with everything we needed to enjoy the beach: chairs, towels, umbrellas, and a beach tote to carry everything in. This really came in handy! Danielle and Bob were very welcoming and created a lovely, thoughtful vacation get-​a-​way for their guests in a beautifully restored historic farmhouse! Thank you!

I can definitely recommend Chatham Guest Room! We stayed in the East Room, which is perfect for two people! The room is lovely and it has everything you need. It is a place where you can feel easily at home as for the ambiance as for the well thought features. There are plates, cups and other supplies to make yourself a tea or coffee and even be able to eat a little something in the room. The hosts prepared a very useful file with useful addresses of things to do and places to eat with the menus, which we found to be extremely useful! The cherry on top was a collection of old books on Cape Cod with tales and little stories which helped us know a little more about the area! Great place to stay!

We just spent 3 nights and it was perfect. Every possible need was handled, including beach towels, beach chairs, and night-​lights in the room. The garden was delightful and lots of fun looking through the attached map store. Internet and TV were easy. Bob and Danielle and Perri were exceptionally hospitable.

Our group of 5 arrived in the evening and Danielle took cares to see if we needed dinner reservations that night and gave us ample information for restaurant and event choices (like yoga on the beach) to get going the next morning.
We had two reservations between the 5 of us and both were fabulous. The upstairs space included a gorgeous bathroom and library/​bedroom, and a well armed kitchen. The downstairs space had double french doors that opened up onto a deck where we sipped coffee in the morning sun.
The entire space puts one at ease and if there wasn’t so much to see and do in Cape Cod this would be the perfect spot to curl up and read and relax for a week or a weekend. In fact we are thinking of coming back during the off season to do just that.
This is definitely my first choice for Chatham and am highly recommending it unequivocally.

If you’re looking for quality lodging at an affordable price on Cape Cod, I highly recommend Chatham Guest Rooms. This is a house about a mile down from downtown Chatham with three «guest room» options: the Main Suite, which has a full kitchen, the Garden Suite, which has a private deck and library, and the East Room, where we stayed: a room with a private bath, queen-​sized bed, and large window seat overlooking the garden that fills the rear of the property. The rooms all come equipped with coffee makers, cube fridges, and a cupboard with cups, plates, coffee filters, and other essentials. The East Room is large enough for two people, nicely decorated, and appointed with a lovely antique armoire and flat-​screen TV. It has exposed ceiling beams, a cool, soothing décor palette, and soft lighting. The bathroom is modern with a glass-​walled shower. My only caution is that the queen-​sized bed is very soft, so be aware of that if you prefer a firm mattress. I got a peek at the Main Suite, which is gorgeous, and though we went off-​season I could tell that the garden would be beautiful come springtime. This is not a B&B, but there are several options for breakfast nearby, more than that in-​season.
The business is run by two personable locals, Bob and Danielle, who also run a neat antique map shop that’s adjacent to the rooms. They are helpful, attentive, and full of suggestions for things to see and places to dine. They allowed us our privacy while being attentive to our needs and picking up the room, and they checked on us regularly to make sure we were comfortable.
Chatham is a quiet, quaint town with friendly people – not funky, more of a get-​away-​from-​it-​all type of place. The Guest Rooms are about a mile down from Chatham’s downtown, which has a great locally-​owned bookstore (remember those?), a neighborhood theater, and a variety of restaurants and shops. The lighthouse and beach are down there as well and make for a pleasant walk after a meal. There’s a grocery store and CVS nearby. Chatham’s location in the «elbow» makes it ideal for venturing out to explore other parts of the Cape. If things get too sleepy for you, the energy of Provincetown is about 75 minutes north. Cape Cod Mall is a 20-​minute drive away if you tire of cute, small, locally-​owned businesses and just want Starbucks and a movie with Dolby Surround Sound.
Finally, the price is good, especially for the Cape where even off season B&B’s and inns can be pricy. The local guide Bob and Danielle gave us reported that the Guest Rooms are one of the most reasonably-​priced accommodations in the area. The Main Suite was priced about the same as a 3-​star hotel room in a city and had much more to offer. For what we would have paid to stay at a flea-​bag hotel, we had a great experience in a clean, comfortable, personally-​appointed setting..
