Our Grounds & Spaces
Steps from the Ocean
A quaint Cape Cod style porch with sparkling ocean vistas of Mattapoisett harbor and a background of sailboats, sandy beaches, placid waters and salt air. The porch boasts a wood beamed ceiling, cupola, and a spacious interior surrounded by seaside flora and soft sea breezes. This seasonal venue is available Memorial Day through Columbus Day.
Oceanfront Celebrations
Exchange your vows on the lawn overlooking the harbor, and then toast to your marriage here during cocktail hour. After hours, treat your guests to s’mores at the beachside fire pit.
