The Simmons Homestead is the only Bed & Breakfast Inn in Hyannis Port and truly reflects the spirit of old Cape Cod. The entire house has been designed to be a Cape Cod bed and breakfast providing a warm, friendly, relaxing, and romantic atmosphere. It is a place to meet new friends, to feel at home, and relax. A pleasant haven to retire to after a day of exploring, it is situated where you can wander around Cape Cod, enjoy the beach, or take a day trip to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. At the end of the day, you will return to the Inn, sit on the porch with wine, and relax. Then go to some of the best restaurants on all of Cape Cod, which are less than a mile away. Perfect!

The Inn was the homestead of the Simmons family, built in the 1800 - 1820 range by Lemuel Simmons, a somewhat famous old sea captain. It was a private Hyannis Port estate until 1988, when it was renovated and made into a great Bed and Breakfast Inn and finest Cape Cod Lodging. What was the original barn, now houses 4 more guest rooms, a common room and a billiard parlor (pool hall to you city folk). The house is historically significant, but the interior and furnishings have added a sense of fun and relaxation.

All the rooms are unique and beautifully furnished, some with canopy beds, brass beds and all with plants, animals, love and fun. All of the rooms have wonderful animal themes. In fact, most guests always call or e-mail to reserve the cat, zebra, elephant or other room by name. Each room is very different and has it's own personality. We didn't start out with the idea of animal themes. Just kinda grew like Topsey. Guests have done their part to add to the clutter. Over the years, there are dozens of critters added to the rooms by guests. By now, it is totally out of control.

In the mornings, a full breakfast is served where you'll find everything fresh and filling. Bill's not the best cook in the world (or even close), but he slowly improves with time. Breakfasts are based on the "All you can eat, but absolutely no choice" school of cooking. We are one of the few B&Bs or Inns that take dogs and other small farm animals. There is a small one time $25 clean-em-up charge. Here is Adam the cat entertaining one right now. If they are part of your family, drag them along. We've got plenty of yard space, and have handouts where you can take the pups year round.

The Simmons Homestead Inn hosts a social hour where you can meet the other guests and simply sit back and enjoy a mug or two of wine. Sit around the huge porches in the summer and around the roaring fire in the common room in the cooler months. It's a time you can look over menus from the Inn's list of recommended restaurants and find special information on things to do the next day. There is a large billiard room for guests. Bill hosts a single malt scotch "Tasting Hour" week nights during the cooler months.
