What they say
Forbes Recommended
Forbes Travel Guide
2026
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The Mansion looks just like an English country manor that might make an appearance in an Agatha Christie novel.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The resort connects directly to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, with the vast Brewster tidal flats stretching into the bay.
The rooms
Crisp interiors feature palettes of seafoam and wheat, while select suites add gas fireplaces and deep whirlpool baths beside the gardens.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Outdoor swimming pools sit bordered by tall trees, alongside an indoor heated pool on the Mansion grounds.
The spa
The Beach House Spa occupies a private cottage, with treatment rooms for bodywork and an infrared sauna studio.
Gym and tennis
Resort tennis courts look out toward the bay, and an indoor fitness studio holds cardio machines.
Bar
The Roscommon Room
Dark wood paneling, a stone fireplace, and a white marble counter fill this historic lounge inside the original mansion.
At the table
Ocean Terrace serves fresh seafood on the bluff, and the open-air Beach Bar pours cocktails over the bay.
How it began
Addie Nickerson rebuilt the stone manor between 1907 and 1912, replacing the original family home with English country architecture.
