The house
LarkMoorside modernist lodge
Named for slipping away, the property sits where the town ends and the open salt marshes begin.
“Each of the bright, beachy-modern rooms has an outdoor space...where you can relax with a beach read.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Low-slung blonde wood and woven straw lighting replace traditional Cape Cod nautical trim.
Listed
Fleet bicycles connect the quiet tidal moors to Commercial Street's historic art colony.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
AWOL differentiates itself with a sort of maritime modernist style, its clean lines warmed by touchable textures and high-end comforts, like Tivoli radios and Lather bath products.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Province Lands bike trails curve through the dunes outside, while central Commercial Street sits a mile east.
The rooms
Ground-floor rooms open onto patios with woven hammocks, and second-floor balconies have daybeds facing the moors.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Wicker loungers line the wooden deck by the heated pool, looking out across the marsh through a glass fence.
How it began
The hotel began as the Inn at the Moors motor lodge, and its heated pool now replaces the old asphalt parking lot.
“The modern, Scandinavian-style design here prioritizes minimalist lines, clean finishes, and the occasional natural touch, such as super-soft microfiber bedding and straw light fixtures.”

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
