June in Bloom!

Here at Fort Hill we brave the winds of winter, always looking forward to June...the garden month!  The organic veggie garden is in (more about that later) and the perennial garden is strutting its stuff.  

Come see it in person. We have vacancy for June 8-10 in Emma Suite.  We are just 10 minutes from Wellfleet Center and a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of your daily life! 

Warm hospitality, a gourmet full breakfast and private, top notch accommodations...Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast, overlooking Nauset Marsh and the Atlantic!

Vernal Equinox Sunrise from the Cape Cod National Seashore

To celebrate the first full day of spring we took an early morning walk to catch first light. It was SO worth it!

Sunrise over Nauset Marsh looking east from Eastham to Coast Guard Beach from Hemenway landing in the Fort Hill Area, a short walk from the Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast.

Today is one of 2 days in the year that the sun rises due EAST...and when you are in Eastham on the eastern most edge of MA, that means the sunrises with all of America at your back!   From now until the solstice in June it starts it's journey NE along the horizon. 

Fort Hill Area...The jewel in the crown of the Cape Cod National Seashore!

Here is another of my favorite shots of the Fort Hill Area, Eastham, MA! This one was an early summer shot... green meadows, forests and marsh. You can clearly see the Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast across from the Captain Penniman House, as well as most of the Fort Hill Area of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The Red Maple Swamp trail runs along the lower left-center of this picture, obscured by the thick tree cover. The Fort Hill Area offers scenic views, walking trail, and historic tour as well as luxury lodging for adults who love a quiet, natural setting.

Please feel free to share this awesome bird's eye view.

Bird's Eye View of Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast in the Cape Cod National Seashore.

From time to time, some of our guests do a fly-by of Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast and they kindly send us the pictures they take! Here's a bird's eye view of the Fort Hill Area in the Cape Cod National Seashore, including the Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast, (marked with red arrow across from the Captain Penniman House, with red roof and whale bone arch), and Nauset Marsh.  What a special place!! 

If you are really interested in the history, culture and environment of the area take a look at this Olmsted Center Report of the Fort Hill Rural Historic District.    We are one of 3 National Historic Properties in the Fort Hill Area, Sylvanus Knowles House (that's us!), Seth Knowles House, and the Captain Edward Penniman House.

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!
