Cape Cod Maple Street Inn Bed & Breakfast, B & B[about.shtml]

The Perfect Cape Cod Get Away Is Just A Phone Call Away!

Pat and Len Curran invite you to give yourself a relaxing rejuvenating get away at the Maple Street Inn Bed and Breakfast. It is our pleasure and promise to pamper our guests. We provide a retreat to old fashioned 19th century surroundings with new restful updating to the 21st century.

The Maple Street Inn is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The first owners were the Whitmans. The 1853 Second Empire Mansard Victorian provided a comfortable home for the musician and his family. West Barnstable used to be a singing village with a chorale society. Mr. Whitman organized the first orchestra in the Village. Concerts and dances were held at the dance floor near Jones Mill on Mill Pond. The pond was a recreation area. Many would come to picnic on the grounds around the Whitman home to hear a concert, while sitting under shady maple trees and taking in the summer breezes. Today, our guests can hear choruses of birds and view various species such as cardinals, black birds and blue jays on our 3.91 acres. Be sure to bring your binoculars!

A Little History About West Barnstable and the Maple Street Inn, Bed and Breakfast
Come and see the nearby 1717 West Parish Meeting House Congregational Church, the oldest in the country, and hear the Paul Revere Bell call all to worship. Appreciate where famous citizens were born. Consider Mercy Otis Warren born 1728, firebrand of the American Revolution. Mercy wrote many poems including one to her husband who was working in Boston, which expresses a sentiment true today,

“Come leave the noisy smoky town
Where vice and folly reign,
The vain pursuits of busy men
We wisely will disdain”

Visit Sandy neck beach and dunes, for as naturalist Charles Townsend put it, “A day spent (near) the dunes ….with the roar of the waves and the cries of the gulls in one’s ears, the breath of the marsh and of the ocean in one’s nostrils, the wild beauty and loneliness of the scene in one’s eyes, is indeed an inspiration, a memory worth treasuring.”

Or stop by West Barnstable Cemetery and see the grave of John Mad Jack Percival and of other captains and local citizens. Percival served in the war of 1812. He was called mad jack for his daring bravery. He may have sat in a worn out chair thinking,

“Happy in dream of a boyhood rare…
In memory he saw the golden rod
Sway in the fields on the way to the beach…..
I know he hoped that the realm of God
Was a place that looked like old Cape Cod”
