The Ship's Knees Inn is a 180-year-old restored sea captain's home with nautically decorated rooms and a location near Nauset Beach in a secluded section of the touristy Cape Cod area. The Ship's Knees Inn exemplifies the quiet Yankee tradition that canopies the Cape year-round. A swimming pool and tennis court are available and the inn offers a complimentary continental breakfast. Guests may choose to dine outside on the patio on sunny days. Pleasant Bay and fresh water lakes--all with available public landings--puts golf, swimming, tennis, shops, and shows close by. Nauset Beach is just a three-minute walk from the inn. Since Orleans is flanked by water, fishing and swimming are popular pastimes in the area. Inside the lantern-lit doorways are nineteen rooms, each individually decorated in a distinctly nautical style, and appointed with its own special colonial color scheme and genuine antiques. Each room has cable television, alarm clock, tub and shower, and air-conditioning.
