Writer Retreats

The Inn at the Oaks Writers' Retreat is located in a beautiful area of Cape Cod, known for its many beaches, bike trails, salt ponds, an area with a long history of inspiring writers. In 1850 Henry David Thoreau walked from Eastham to Provincetown and wrote about his adventures in his book "Cape Cod." The nature writer Henry Beston stayed at the Inn in 1927, before going to live for a year near Coast Guard Beach, where he wrote "The Outermost House," about his year living on the dunes of Cape Cod.

Many other famous writers have spent time on the Outer Cape, living and writing just a few miles from the Inn, including Eugene O'Neill, e. e. cummings, Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer, and many more.

During the "quiet season" the inn is transformed into a place for writers to create their work in a comfortable and warm environment, drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of the Outer Cape.

Our Writers' Retreat rooms are located in the Carriage House and in the main house, both built in the late 1800's with many original architectural features, as well as modern comforts. Each suite has its own special features, but all have two rooms (actually the Sail Loft is one large room), a min-fridge, writing tables, Wifi, and lots of charm. When you book your room you will hear about all the features of each room so you can pick the one that will be most comfortable (and we hope inspiring).

You will also find many quiet rooms and spaces in the Inn to think and write, and a cordial and considerate staff to attend to every detail of your stay.

The Writers' Retreat at the Inn At the Oaks runs November through April. Rooms are available by the week for $695/week during November and December and $495/week, January through March. Weekend retreats are also available, and longer stays can be arranged at reduced rates. Please call the Inn for additional rates and availability. Rates include a continental breakfast each morning, as well as kitchen privileges.
