Owned by a lovely and welcoming couple, the Palmer House Inn boasts a property that honors prominent writers. The Inn’s mascot Brody and the staff truly made the stay at the beautifully aged Victorian home one of a kind. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer.

The property is lovely and well cared for. I'd love to come back in mid-summer and see the gardens in full bloom. The building are very well maintained and clean. Even in a nice location like Falmouth, this is an oasis.
