How about a Dune Tour in Provincetown?

Unforgettable Cape Cod!


Art's Dune Tour

One of the most exciting, unique experiences visitors to the outer Cape can have is taking a Dune Tour  with Art's through the huge sand dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore's Provincelands.  The awesome size of the sand "hills", with professional narrative by the tour guide, provides for an unforgettable Cape Cod experience! 


Art's Dune Tour...sunset tour to Bay

 For a special treat, sign up for the sunset tour and clam bake.   Yup...a real lobster/clam bake on the beach.

How about your own ocean-view cottage...with luxury?



Greetings from Gordon and Jean at Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast,

Gordon and I are wishing you all a Happy Spring. It is time for us to start “gearing”up for the arrival of our B+B guests, trying new recipes, washing windows and spring cleaning the house and yard! We want everything to be perfect for you, our best guests!

We want to let you know of the improvements we have made in the Nantucket cottage to make that popular, cozy space even nicer for a 3-6 night stay, or for a weekly stay this summer either as a B+B accommodation or as a self-catering Guest House accommodation. Some of you already have made your reservations and we want you to be aware of the improvements before you arrive. If you have not made a reservation yet, we hope that Fort Hill B+B will be in your vacation plans this year if you are able to sneak away to Cape Cod!



*The cottage is now air conditioned with the installation of 2 powerful, whisper quiet, ductless units installed in the bedroom and the living room. Each indoor unit has its own thermostat and operate so efficiently and quietly that you will never want to leave! We hope these additions will make your stay in the cottage during the increasingly hot, humid summers more comfortable.



















*The Kitchen can now live up to its name as a place to prepare an entire meal....not just breakfast or a snack! Once the weather breaks I will be planting some herbs by the cottage door so you can help yourself! And of course, the organic veggie garden is aways just a few steps away.

*New for 2016 is the addition of a butcher block island with an induction burner and pots and pans....perfect for boiling, sauteing and simmering! The pull up table under the windows has been outfitted with stools for dining. Or, the table in the living room and the outdoor table give a couple of other options for sitting down to an eat-in meal.




*In addition to the existing microwave drip coffee maker and refrigerator, the kitchen now also boasts a convection toaster-oven and Keurig coffee maker. We will provide a few starter k-cups with a variety of flavored coffees for the Keurig and encourage guests to use the refillable single cup holder with their own favorite coffee.

If there is anything else you can think of that would make your stay in the cottage more comfortable we would love to know. In the meantime, we will be posting pictures on our Facebook page which you should all be able to access.



Stay well. We hope to see you soon!

One way to celebrate the Vernal Equinox

Winter got you down?  Looking for something new and different to do next Saturday night?  Why not take a break, book the ocean-view Nantucket Cottage at the Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast and catch some great music just up the road a piece at the First Encounter Coffee House.  The outer cape is alive and well....you just have to know where to look!





Monday, February 24, 2014

It was a relatively mild February weekend and allowed us to get out on to Coast Guard Beach for a lovely winter walk. The beach is ever-changing so we never get bored walking the spit! It was low tide, sunny, 50 degrees with only a slight breeze...a rarity for sure on a February day at the Cape Cod National Seashore.  Some clever devil has collected all the flotsam and jetsam from the beach and crafted a make-shift lean-to.  I suppose it might be in the approximate location that was once Henry Beston's Fo'Castle shack on the outer beach that was washed away in the Blizzard of '78.  The beach is still changing...with every storm.  Aren't we lucky to be so close?

There is always something new to see when you come to Cape Cod
