Wagner at Duck Creek

Top choice in Cape Cod


Energetic owners have breathed new life into this iconic inn – no small undertaking, given it encompasses 27 rooms housed in three antique timber buildings spread over lovely grounds. The result is a boutique feel, with pretty, well-equipped rooms plus an on-site tavern, open year-round. Future plans think big: bike rental, kayaks for guest use, a pool and a spa.
