Gloria, woner of the Lodge is great. Fresh baked lemon cake and banana bread, OJ and coffee served on the back porch. Quiet spot. Some rooms have a shared bathroom. We spent one night w/ a private bath, the 2nd with a shared. Very clean. We'd go back.

It was purely by coincidence that we choose the Beach Plum Motor Lodge as it was the Memorial Day Weekend and several guesthouses at Provincetown and Wellfleet had minimum nights as well as higher holiday weekend prices. And I sure am glad that we found this hidden gem!

Beach Plum Motor Lodge is in a fantastic location, just a 3min walk from the Eastham Town Hall where the Flex & P-B buses stop, excellent for those who do not drive like myself. The Salt Pond Visitor Centre and Cape Cod National Seashore are nearby, and you can rent bicycles from the Little Capistrano shop just a 10min walk from the lodge. The owners are good pals with Gloria, our hostess at the lodge and you can get a little discount from the reasonably-priced bicycles if you mention you are staying here.

The lodge comprises of 5 rooms behind the main lodge and swimming pool, which are basic, but spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms are a little on the small side, but are very clean. This is also my first time seeing a cushioned toilet seat! Lol. Wi-fi is also available and the connection was surprisingly stable, considering the rooms were behind the main lodge. Excellent value for money considering that we paid only $45 for the room per night, half of what you get elsewhere.

Our hostess, Gloria, is a friendly lady who manages the entire works all by herself and knows how to make her guests welcomed without being too intrusive. It was really pleasant chatting to her over a simple, home-made breakfast at the back porch, with second helpings too! Kudos to her for also going all out to help her guests, as we needed some assistance with a ferry booking and immediately, she took out the phone directory and called the bus and ferry companies to inquire on the price and timings. Truly commendable!

If I ever do return to Cape Cod, Beach Plum Motor Lodge will definitely be my pick! Highly recommended, especially if you are on a budget!

Being in business for 30+ years, and featured in such travel guides as Frommers, I was quite surprised and a bit apprehensive to find that no one had yet reviewed the Beach Plum Motor Lodge. It being high season, and the cape very expensive, I decided to take a chance and book it anyways.

I'm amazed! The only reason I can think for the lack of reviews is that the regulars are trying to keep it free for their own use! This is definitely not your local Hilton- the Beach Plum has more character and appeal, wth a rugged character. Your inn keeper Gloria will welcome you upon arrival, and serve you a home made breakfast in the morning. It consisted of coffee, orange juice, crumpets/toast, and a home made goodie of the day.

The cottages themselves (there are 6) are like small cabins, very cozily decorated. My room was painted a nice yellow, carpeted, wicker chair in the corner, and a bed so full of pillows you almost couldn't sit. The room was full of photographs hanging on the wall, and had a very welcoming and cozy feel. I was in the duplex- essentially a double cabin with a shared bathroom in between. Seperate cabins with their own bath are available, but I didn't book far enough ahead! The bed wa super cozy- no air conditioning, but even middle of summer, I was comfortable. I slept like a baby- woke up to the sound of birds and a breeze fromt he open window. I wokeup at 7 am without an alarm! (Definitely unusual for me).

The property also has a small pool, which was quite nice in the heat. It's located in Eastham, across the street from town hall and the Flex bus station (which was Perfect for doing a trip to Provincetown or Hyannis). I came in by bus, not car, and found the bike rental just up the street to be perfect. It also has a lobster shanty and grocery store within walking distance.

Overall, I loved this place! I'm glad I stayed in Eastham, with it's quiet cape cod feel. I would definitely stay here again when visiting the Cape. Next time I would book a longer stay. Now, the downside- if you're picky, the washroom is quite small, and has a cabin feel. It also only has a shower no tub. The room itself makes up for this. Also, it IS right on the highway- I didn't notice the traffic noise, but if you're a light sleeper? I know a lot of the B&B's are on route 6- so it would be the same for all. And the outlets are only 2 prong! My laptop wouldn't plug in, but Gloria was kind enough to charge it for me in her house- no internet anyways, or tv, but hey- that's why I went to the cape! Also, in the duplex, I could kind of hear my neighbours int he next room. Not an issue for me, espeially since I wasn't there, but beware-you might want to book the single room cabin if that would bother you. The duplex would be GREAT for a family with kids, who wanted 2 rooms.

I highly reccomend this place- it was a nice escape.
