Land's End Inn

Frommer's Review

Enjoying a prime 1-acre perch atop Gull Hill in the far west end of Commercial Street, this magical, whimsical 1907 bungalow is bursting with rare and often outlandish antiques. Some rooms would suit a 19th-century sheik, others your everyday hedonist. In other words, the place is unique in a way that will delight some guests and overwhelm others. Three rooms make use of the inn's soaring towers. The two-bedroom loft suite, entered through an armoire (very Narnia) must be one of the most unusual and spectacular lodging spaces on the Cape. From the spacious living room, climb the ironwork spiral stairway to the bedroom, where an immense stained-glass window serves as your headboard. Through the encircling clerestory windows, the Atlantic Ocean beckons. There's also a wonderful octagonal tower room with windows wrapping halfway around, bay-view decks on two sides, and a cobalt glass turret. Some of the other rooms are small, but they all positively drip with kitschy Victorian and Deco styles, and all have fresh beds, linens, and carpeting. Though the inn is predominantly gay, cosmopolitan visitors will feel welcome, regardless of gender or orientation. The inn is owned by Michael MacIntyre, the owner of the Brass Key, the town's top inn. The staff is top-notch here and the breakfast, an elaborate continental spread, features fresh fruits and homemade baked goods.
