Salt House Inn & Eben house

A modern interpretation of a Colonial Inn with the look and feel of an airy Cape Cod Cottage…

Imagine cozy fireplaces, vintage bathtubs and natural sea salt scrubs, locally commissioned art, and honey poached pears for breakfast served on antique china. It’s impossible to have a bad time in Provincetown if you are staying at the Salt House Inn or Eben House, both run by David Bowd and Kevin O’Shea, a talented partnership who have extensive experience in design and hospitality.
The Eben House, built in 1776 by Captain Eben Snow, is a Federal-style building with a history that inspires every thoughtful detail. You won’t find any plastic lobsters or cliché seashell décor here in these award-winning hotel chains, but you will be blown away by the nonintrusive hospitality complimented by a sense of artistic authenticity. The Design is Stylish and Charming yet Inviting and Comfortable.
For Salt House Inn, the 19th-century building was originally comprised of cottages for salt mine workers (hence the name) and evolved over the years into a guesthouse. The focal point of each whitewashed guest room is a signature ‘wall of curiosities’—curated collections of vintage art and found objects that reflect the flavor and heritage of the region. All rooms offer spacious bathrooms with spa-like amenities, i.e. walk-in showers and rain shower heads. Natural bath products to round out the experience. The breakfast room hosts guests every morning for a gourmet feast of homemade pastries, savory treats, yogurt, and granola prepared fresh daily. The newly landscaped grounds offer al fresco dining, an outdoor lounge, and a large second floor sun terrace.
