Tucker Inn

I won’t go into the details of why the condo we had reserved in Ptown didn’t work out (I’ll leave you with this: pee in the vents) but suffice it to say we were two couples with one dog and one week off, and we were starting to worry that our vacation was destroyed. Luckily, the Tucker got us in and immediately started making us feel at home. It was clean, conveniently located, folks were polite, the other guests were great, we loved the hot tub at night, and the beds were comfortable. My only suggestions (hence the one star off) would be for them to get an extra hand at breakfast since it could get backed up, and some of the food was less than fully cooked. And I wouldn’t have minded faster internet. And, finally, if you aren’t a dog lover, you might not love all the dogs around. BUT, I’m just being nit picky, because overall it was nice and clean, there was an amazing selection of snacks and drinks, friendly people, unbeatable location, and just a great stay… Thanks Tucker Inn!

The Tucker Inn absolutely surpassed anything we could’ve possibly hoped for in a Bed and Breakfast.
First off, the breakfast — MASSIVE and DELICIOUS fresh made-​to-​order meals each morning (omelets, pancakes, waffles, and/​or french toast, plus bagels/​muffins/​cereals for the taking). There were days where we ate breakfast around 9:00 and weren’t the slightest bit hungry again until dinner at 7:00 or later. The breakfast is no joke.
Next, the rooms — comfortable, clean, perfect, perfect, perfect.
As for location, you cannot beat it. It’s a block in from Commercial St, which means you’re steps away from everything Provincetown has to offer, but you don’t hear any of the noise from your room.
And I can’t not mention the absolute pleasure it was to stay with Tom and Howard. The HIGHLIGHT of our trip was the Saturday evening cocktail party. Not only was there a plethora of drinks and DELICIOUS food present, but it was such a wonderful experience to chat with other folks staying at the Inn. Honestly, my girlfriend and I were planning to stop in for a quick drink, then head out for a night on the town, but we were instantly hooked and that became our only evening plans. Such a warm welcoming environment.

I can’t say enough about our stay at Tucker Inn. Howard and Thomas have created a warm, comfortable, clean and friendly home away from home just off Commercial in the near East End. While small, our room was incredibly functional, extremely clean, and very quiet. The breakfast included made to order omelets, waffles, pancakes, and fresh fruit along with the usual continental breakfast fare. The Saturday night happy hour was fun, and we met some great folks. Having stayed at a number of B&Bs in Provincetown, the Tucker ranks at the top of our list and we will definately stay again!

Perfect location, great staff and very welcoming owners that are focused
on making your stay most enjoyable
We have stayed here now 2 summers in a row and are looking forward to our next visit
The rooms are quite comfortable and the beds and pillows are excellent
The housekeeping staff is always making sure you have clean sheets and towels
We love the breakfast and all the goodies put out every afternoon
Truly a wonderful place to stay

I agree with Polly E. and I would add that this place is our home away from home here in PTown. We have had friends come over for a cocktail and hang out in the back garden oasis. Saturday night cocktail party is so much fun and all the guests in the house attend. It is not to be missed. Howard and Thomas are the ultimate hosts and the staff is great!

I love, love, LOVE this place! This is my second time here, and I’ll definitely be coming back again. The first time we were here was for women’s week in 2011. We were in the cottage, and it was a nice little oasis. This time we’re in room 2, and it’s lovely too. What everyone else has said about the breakfasts is totally true — amazing! We just eat a big breakfast and then a late lunch and we’re good for the day. (Maybe a piece of pizza after the shows in the evening.) All in all a great base for a wonderful Ptown experience.

4^th year in a row staying at The Tucker Inn and I can’t imagine even considering staying anywhere else in PTown. Howard and Thomas are as friendly as always and the Inn is beautiful maintained, comfortable, in the middle of all of the PTown fun and includes a delicious breakfast. The Saturday happy hour is a great way to meet Howard and Thomas, other guests at the Inn, all while having tasty snacks and libations. Can’t wait to go back again next year.

We recently stayed at Tucker Inn for the second time. We were just as pleased as the first time. The home is warm and inviting. I love the quiet landscaped zen garden for afternoon reading. The breakfast that Curtis chefs up is nice and varied. I love the relaxing music playing throughout the outdoor areas, the calming effect of the house dogs snoozing around and making friends with the guest’s dogs. We have stayed at many places in town over the years and right now we only see staying here in the future. I love the laidback (yet attentive) attitude of the ownership and the other guests always have a good vibe. Seeing everyone enjoy themselves for appetizers and cocktails before going out on Saturday night is very nice. What I have been truly impressed by in my two stays here so far is the cleanliness of the rooms. I am one of those people that if there is a speck of dirt or a stray hair somewhere my eye will inevitably be drawn to it. I just cannot help myself. I am never distracted by anything at Tucker because the staff does such an exemplary job of cleaning. Our stay the weekend of 9÷8−9÷12 was extremely relaxing and restorative. I cannot wait to come back. Keep up the good work.

This is the best B&B in Provincetown. The full breakfast (thanks to Curtis, the chef) is to die for. Howard and Thomas will make you feel right at home, and so will Colby and Cloe (the dogs). This was the most relaxing vacation ever!
If you are thinking on vacationing at P-​Town, think no further than The Tucker Inn. You will not be disappointed!

We loved staying here. Thomas and Howard are wonderful, as is their place. Comfy but luxurious. We loved the breakfast, and the cocktail party. Just the right balance of friendly and attentive. We’ll certainly be back.

This is the one B&B I have ever stayed at in Provincetown and I will never stay anywhere else. I was there during Bear Week in July 2010 and I loved their accomodations. The staff is very laid back and beyond friendly and accomodating! The feel of the house is just plain gorgeous. It has an eclectic yet a reserved and old charming atmosphere-​with rustic floors, out of the ordinary décor and an old world charm to it. The room was so quaint and the perfect size for two people (if you don’t plan on staying indoors much). They had the most beautiful set-​up outside on the patio for breakfast. And the gardens were relaxing and brought an air of calm and peace to you’re mood. They also have a hottub for your relaxation pleasure.
I was happy they have guarunteed parking for your vehicle (one space per room) because parking in Ptown can be a problem. They are a 2 min walk from the two main roads and close to everything if you were to bike.
Also, rates were reasonable as well.
Big big thumbs up!

We could not be more pleased with our stay here. The rooms are modern, clean and extremely comfortable. The owners could not be better hosts and the patio area is absolutely a pleasure to enjoy. We highly recommend.

I have never enjoyed staying somewhere as much as I enjoyed staying at the Tucker Inn last weekend.
One of my best friends and I just had our first trip to the Cape, and after disappointingly having our expensive ferry ride canceled due to rough seas, and being put on a long, traffic-​laden bus ride, we arrived at the Tucker Inn and got a warm welcome from Howard (and his dogs, Colby and Chloe!). He gave us a quick tour and showed us our room.
We stayed in room number 5, (the least expensive room), and it was wonderful! It had a large, clean, comfortable bed, a gas fireplace, a window overlooking their garden area (we could hear the fountains outside! relaxing!), and a large flat screen tv (on which we watched Stop Making Sense and Kathy Griffin standup from Howard and Thomas’s dvd collection!). There were even big fluffy bathrobes for us, which we quickly donned so we could go downstairs and enjoy the hot tub in the garden! This room has a shared bathroom, but we never had any trouble getting in there when we needed to!
The breakfasts: amazing, plentiful, and served on their beautiful patio (can i just say, blueberry coconut bread budding! and bacon!). Nothing could be nicer than waking up in our comfortable bed, moseying downstairs to the smell of breakfast waiting for us, enjoying a hot coffee on a covered patio, and reading the nyt.
The saturday cocktail party: Thomas’ incredible cosmos, fantastic horderves, and delightful company (we had such a great time talking with Howard, Thomas, and the other guests, who were a large group of friends who visit together annually — what a sweet group!).
The location: we loved being so close to everything, but still on a quiet side street. Plus it was just a five minute walk to the pier to catch our ferry home!
I should also mention that our stay was on the first weekend of the off-​season, and the weather was beautiful! Mid-​upper 60s and sunny, perfect weather for biking around town. It was fabulous.
Our stay at the Tucker Inn was exactly what I needed — a relaxing, luxurious, and incredibly fun get-​away weekend.

I loved my stay at the Tucker Inn.
I wanted a place that was close enough to Commercial Street to be convenient, but far enough away to be relaxing. What Howard (the innkeeper) has done with this place is magical. He’s ½ block off of Commercial, but he has set up his backyard & garden to make you completely unaware that you are only steps from the bars and big parties. He offers a great breakfast every morning, and a cocktail party (with delicious snacks) in the evening. And so much else — clean towels by the hot tub, a parking lot, a bike rack, refrigerator in the room, flat screen TV and DVD player (with shared DVD collection to choose from), great bath robes, and even a candy dish by the front door. I ended up making some new friends — and discovering my new favorite place to stay in Provincetown.

This bed and breakfast is everything I could ask for. The owner Howard makes sure you have everything you need to be comfortable. The rooms are just right, there’s a fireplace, TV, A/​C and a private bathroom.
The breakfast that was offered was really good and had a good amount of variety. I found myself looking forward to seeing what the Chef would come up with next. The Cranberry and Walnut French toast was really really good.
Howard has a dog that lives at the B&B named Colby. He is a great dog that is always up for playing his version of fetch. Which he will only fetch if you are able to pry the tennis ball out of his mouth. He actually just wants you to hold the ball while he holds the ball in his mouth. It sounds pretty weird but its surprisingly fun.
