Salt House Inn

I’m rather reluctant to write this review. It’s going to make getting a reservation just a little harder in the future, but I have found my new favorite place to stay in Ptown.
Not only is Salt House Inn aesthetically beautiful, including the attention to design detail in the renovated rooms and the main areas but the staff are delightful and accommodating too.
The daily breakfast was fresh, varied and delicious. Thank you for a wonderful Birthday stay. This is definitely one of my happy places.

A very well-​run little inn.
The standard rooms on the ground floor, where we stayed, are very small. There is enough room for a queen sized bed and a small dresser in the corner. If you get a room facing the parking lot, as we did, you get one window that is underneath an upper deck. There is a wall unit for A/​c which works very well! Not much sunlight or ventilation or space, but you’re not coming to Provincetown to stay in. The bathroom however is very cute and neat. The shower is quite nice. The towels and the toiletries are also quite nice, but housekeeping does not replace your shampoo and conditioner when you run out.
However this brings me to the service. The guys at the front desk are very helpful and friendly. When I went to ask for more shampoo and conditioner, the gentleman working that day kindly brought more to our room. The front desk is very knowledgable and they give good suggestions for getting around town.
The breakfast is quite nice. I wasn’t enthralled by it as some reviewers have been, but it is a decent little spread. The coffee is weak and bland, but there is nice yogurt, fruit, and toast every morning. I wish that there were more egg offerings though for those who don’t like to carb load every morning. This breakfast comes included in the price of the room, which it should given the rates! That being said, Provincetown is an expensive touristy little place, but a lovely place to visit. Everyone and everything is so cute and makes you feel happy. This inn is not an exception!

First time in Provincetown (and Cape Cod area in general) — we loved everything about our weekend here, and will definitely be coming back in the future. It was sensory overload in the best way possible. The lack of franchises in everything from restaurants to coffee shops (no Starbucks for miles) and hoteliers is refreshing and makes for unique charm/​ambience pretty much everywhere you look. Love the art galleries, the gift/​flower stores, and general charm and welcoming nature of everyone in Ptown.
With regards to the Salt House Inn specifically, we were not disappointed when we checked in. The property is accurately depicted on the lovely website so we knew pretty much what to expect. This is our first time ever staying at a bed and breakfast, so it was a new overall experience (i.e., no 24-​hour on site staff) but I am happy we did it. We booked the loft suite which was a good choice as we later read that all of the other rooms on the property are incredibly small. Our room was an entire floor, with a spacious combined entryway/​bedroom/​sitting room. Loved the wooden beams in the ceiling. The room aesthetic is Cape Cod classic with a modern, simple sensibility. Very white, refreshing, and clean with polished hard wood floors. Thoughtful quirky touches included wire structured lamps, a vintage Provincetown postcard on the desk, and a clipboard with hotel instructions on the wall. My absolute favorite feature (and one of the reasons why I wanted to book that room specifically) is the free standing claw footed white bath tub in the bedroom. Definitely took bubble baths each night, while watching movies (…and maybe eating salt water taffy in the tub, #noshame).
We also loved the small garden in front of the hotel with plenty of sitting room to take in the breeze under its lovely shade, or to eat breakfast in. And speaking of the breakfast — what a lovely selection of food. Definitely take advantage of the (included) breakfast here with your stay. We especially enjoyed the yogurt parfait bar (different fruit and nut toppings each morning). The breakfast burrito with squash and vegetables was very tasty as well, as were the cherry turnovers. The only suggestion I would have for them is better/​stronger, more flavorful coffee and a more complete tea/​cappuccino selection. And instead of a typical buffet coffee dispenser, it would look lovely (and fit the overall design better) if a silver tea set was substituted.
One of the few but notable downsides to our stay — within minutes of entering our room, we realize there are at least half a dozen horse flies swarming near one of the closed windows. At first it appeared they were contained within the screen and the inner window but they were in fact in the hotel room. We spent almost twenty minutes trying to chase them all down with towels to kill and flush them down the toilet. Despite our best efforts, a few more managed to straggle in our room and we had to chase those down too. Kind of puts a damper on the otherwise gorgeous impeccable white room when you’re fighting off vermin! Thankfully we weren’t awash in flies overnight while sleeping, and didn’t seem to have any more trouble with them after the first afternoon for some reason.

My fiancé and I got engaged in Provincetown the weekend we stayed at the Salt House Inn. My fiancé had gotten a recommendation to stay here so he booked the rooms and my family stayed here as well. Julia knew about my fiancé’s proposal plan and kept completely quiet. After we got back from the hike where he proposed, she had placed a bottle of champagne and a note congratulating us in our room. After that we spent the evening celebrating with my family and in the morning we went down to an amazing complimentary breakfast. The chef even added more items on for us. Everything was so fresh, local and delicious. We ate outside and Julia brought us out cappuccino and whatever else we needed. The Salt House Inn made a special weekend even more amazing and we would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Provincetown! We thank them so much and can’t wait to stay there again!

Staying at the Salt House Inn for 6 nights and so far my stay has been fabulous. The Inn has tons of charm in a New England atmosphere.
The breakfast is THE BEST BREAKFAST I have ever eaten at a hotel. I can’t say enough about it.
The décor is unique but very fitting. You can tell the owner put great thought into the place. It doesn’t feel like a hotel but more like you’re staying in a suite — that’s a good thing in my book.
The staff is welcoming and very friendly. There really aren’t many things you could improve here. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to fellow travelers.

My weekend stay at Salt House Inn exceeded all my expectations (which were high, since I scoured Trip Advisor prior to booking). The Superior Queen room was a bit on the small side, but tastefully decorated. I loved the simple, clean look of the rooms and found the bathroom to be quite spacious. Bed was super comfortable and the AC was not noisy at all.
Breakfast was beyond phenomenal, with a variety of unique and delicious offerings each morning. Seriously, I don’t think you could find a better breakfast in all of Provincetown. Location is also ideal, being just a short walk to all that Commercial Street has to offer. This is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway.

If you’re looking for plastic flowers and a fru-​fru room, Salt House Inn is NOT for you. This place is clean, fresh, modern, beautifully decorated and recently renovated. The crisp white décor with whimsical touches are more in line with an expensive boutique hotel (think the Medusa in Sydney or the Standard Hotels in NYC or LA) than a beachy B&B. David and Kevin could not be any nicer and the breakfast is worth waking up for! The rate is more than reasonable — you couldn’t get any better in P-​town.

Really great bed and breakfast. David and Kevin made this place feel like home. The bed and pillows were comfortable and clean, the bathroom was big and very new, and the breakfast was fantastic! And when I got really bad sunburn, they had aloe and lidocaine for me at the front desk. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a short, fun getaway in Provincetown!

My husband and I picked this place as our first resting place for our honeymoon and it was definitely a wonderful last minute pick! We literally booked it about 2 hours before arriving by flight and then car! The bed is very comfortable and we only got of bed so that we wouldn’t miss the breakfast! The breakfast itself was beyond delicious! There was a strawberry apricot pastry that I could have eaten for days and the hot dish he prepared for us was wonderful as well.
Design wise, it is a beautiful little piece of heaven! Well designed and comfortable! We are on our second night of stay and I cannot wait to see what amazingness we will have for breakfast!
Also I forgot to mention that after our shopping adventure today we came back to our room to find a bottle of champagne! What a wonderful place and bunch of people!

This place was good for the price but it was missing a full length mirror in each room and the other downside is the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything from other rooms.

Wonderful experience at the Salt House Inn. Located close to downtown, but tucked away on a side road where you couldn’t hear any noise. The staff was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond in sharing fun bike routes and things to do. They also let us park longer so we could get an extra day of riding in. The décor was stunning and the breakfast was straight out of Pinterest– delicious fresh and somehow BEAUTIFUL. I would recommend the Salt House to anyone exploring P-​town.

Great experience at the Salt House Inn! We stayed two nights in a Superior Queen room and loved the place. The rooms are very nicely appointed although a bit smaller than some non-​nyc people might expect. Kevin was very friendly and helpful — the food and entertainment guide he gave us was a great tool and spot on. The breakfast was also delicious and had a lot of creative dishes like breakfast tacos and apple yogurt smoothies.
The only downsides were that our bathroom door was a bit hard to open since the frame must be a little warped, and we didn’t get new shampoo/​body wash the second day. My wife also suggested adding lotion to the bathroom.
Overall this is a great place to stay. The renovation was very well done — you can see some before and after pics on their Facebook site.

Come… eat, drink, play. Kevin and David know all the places to go to. Great lobster rolls, chowder, biking, sun and fun. Their bed and breakfast is top notch. The rooms were dialed… clean modern, yet retro, these guys have an eye for detail. The light bulbs are so cool! Your have to go see for yourself. The best part was the breakfast, can you say GOURMET! Desserts, yogurt, smoothies, oj, coffee, pie, quiche, you name it. Kevin and David have serious backgrounds in design and culinary arts, it was truly a pleasure to stay at the Salt House Inn.

Wow, what can I say… David and Kevin sure know what they are doing!
The newly renovated Inn is superb in almost every way, ideally located a block from Commercial street and although on busy Conwell Street, amazingly quiet. Beautifully and simply decorated with great taste, very comfortable beds, linen and pillows, plush towels, super clean room.
The breakfast selection was the BEST I have ever experienced in a B&B. Kevin creates these amazing edible concoctions every morning that would rate high on anyone’s culinary list. Fresh cut and perfectly ripe fruit, OJ, coffee, muffins, cereal, yogurt, real smoothies, fresh baked coffee cakes, etc are the staples but the special selection of the day shines brightly.
For example:
Individual ramekins of french toast with fruit compote and REAL maple syrup
Bacon/​spinach egg casserole with perfect crust
Some type of delicious galette custard with fruit
The breakfast food served here should by itself have the placed fully booked.
Really, an amazing breakfast experience set amongst cushy chairs or communal rustic table in a charming Inn with professional friendly hosts.
The only negative thing to say is the lack of a pool or hot tub, that would be the icing on the cake!

Fantastic experience with the Salt House Inn! They just renovated and everything is absolutely gorgeous. David and Kevin were so helpful and interested in making sure we had a great first trip to P-​Town. I think the breakfast is technically continental, but it was absolutely delicious: ham and cheese croissants, fresh berry smoothies, warm cinnamon cake, etc. Each morning at breakfast they made a point to see if they could improve our experience and gave us recommendations for activities and places to eat. P-​Town speaks for itself, but it was still great to get insight from people who know the town so well! They really went above and beyond. When we needed beach towels they lent them to us free of charge. They even let us keep our bags with them after we checked out so we didn’t have to walk around town with them. It’s about a 5 minute walk from the main street. The room we chose was the cheapest so it was on the smaller side, but the bed was a good size and SO comfortable. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the cape!
