Located in Falmouth, MA, The Shire is a charming 1960s Cape house surrounded by trees and mature plantings. It has a unique character, with interesting nooks & crannies. Outside, there is always something in bloom. Located on a quiet street, it’s a 5-minute drive to the beach or a 20-minute bike ride.

Wake up in the morning to the sound of birds, relax with a cuppa on your private back deck, check in with work with high speed internet. For remote work stays, a home office setup can be provided.

Your Space

Your space, affectionately named The Cupboard Atop the Stairs (any Harry Potter fans?), is it’s own private space with an entrance off the breezeway. The space contains a B&B Italia queen bed with luxury bedding, kitchenette, fold out lighted desk, large updated bath, and hi-speed WiFi.

The guestroom is perfect for singles or couples. Can also accommodate a wee one. Portable crib available upon request.

Guest Access

Guests can access the entire outside space which includes your own deck, a large fenced yard, outdoor shower, brick patio with seating and fire pit. Please note you might spot me in the yard gardening. Guests may also access the washer/dryer in the garage, and may store bikes, kayaks or other recreation equipment on the property.

Interaction

I respect your privacy and will interact with you as much or little as you desire. I live in the main house and work FT remote so am available if needed. I am happy to share recommendations on places to eat or visit.

Other Details

To customize your stay, please let me know your preference on bedding (sateen, linen or percale), and your favorite flavor of Girl Scout cookies.

This is a family home, so you may see some personal items about, or a curious cat through a window. Everything in your room and in the outside space is available for your use. And if you need anything additional, just ask! There’s enough parking for several cars.

Please note we are slowly moving towards being pet friendly and will consider a small pet. Please inquire with details about your pet before booking.
