A winter visit to Cape Cod is ideal for those seeking not only a peaceful retreat but a bargain. The Dan'l Webster Inn offers its lowest rates during the winter season.
For a girls' getaway, a simple room with two double beds was exactly what Jessica and I needed. Our room was in the main inn, but some of the Dan'l Webster's rooms and suites are in separate buildings, so be sure to ask about the location of your accommodations when you make your reservation.
Sandwich is located in the northwest corner of Cape Cod—it's a town that travelers sometimes overlook on their way to mid or outer Cape destinations. The advantage of Sandwich, however, particularly for winter travelers, is that it can be reached in less time than Cape Cod towns that lie farther east. It was only about a two-and-a-half-hour drive for us to the Dan'l Webster Inn from the Hartford, Connecticut, area. After checking in to the inn on Saturday afternoon, we set out to explore Sandwich.
