OUR STORY

A Cape Cod classic with deep local roots, thoughtfully refreshed for today’s traveler.

Long before the Cape Cod Motor Inn welcomed guests in South Yarmouth, this property was already part of the area’s story. What stands here today reflects both its history and its renewal, honoring the character of old Cape Cod while creating a stay that feels warm, clean, and comfortable for modern visitors.

The Cape Cod Motor Inn Today

We recently purchased the property from its original owners with a deep sense of respect for what it has meant to generations of guests. While the motel has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, our intention was never to erase its past. We kept the Pine Knot's easy going roadside charm just the way it has always been, with thoughtful modern touches to make your stay comfortable and carefree.

Enjoy the best of Cape Cod just minutes from your door, with easy access to the nearby beach and complimentary chairs and towels for a relaxed day by the ocean. If you prefer to stay in, you can unwind by our on site swimming pool and soak up the sun in a setting that blends classic Cape Cod charm with today’s comforts.

Rooted in Community, Built for Return Guests

For generations, this property has welcomed visitors who return to Cape Cod for the familiar comforts, local character, and easy pace of the area. Its story is not only about the building itself, but about the memories made here and the people who continue to come back year after year.

Part of the Past.
Part of What’s Next.

What you see today is more than a restored motel. It is a piece of local history entering its next chapter. By blending classic roadside charm with thoughtful updates and guest-focused hospitality, the Cape Cod Motor Inn continues to offer a place where old memories and new ones meet.

“I grew up coming to the Pine Knot Motel with my grandparents, and staying at the Cape Cod Motor Inn brought back so many memories. They’ve updated everything beautifully without losing the charm. My kids loved it just as much as I did.”

“A true hidden gem in South Yarmouth. Cozy rooms, awesome staff, and the kind of quiet you can only get from a well-run, locally owned place. Plus, the location can’t be beat—minutes to great restaurants and beaches.”
