Classic Cape Cod Luxury

An early start as a semi-private hunting lodge for the wealthy, the Chatham Bars Inn boasted in 1914 of having electric lights, steam heat, and private bathrooms. Under the current owner, only the third owner in the last century, the inn has undergone a $100 million renovation that included newly renovated guest rooms, public rooms, and restaurant. The cottages, completely reconstructed, offer every modern convenience and amenity while still keeping their old world charm. The grounds of the inn offer visitors a wide range of activities.
