Historic Property

Originally built in the 1820s, The Squire Tarbox Inn was carefully restored in 2018. What was once a coastal carriage house is now our one-of-a-kind event barn, providing a unique and welcoming setting that’s etched with history. The property’s lush greenery, heritage woods, and sparkling salt marsh act as a brilliant backdrop for any kind of event.

We stayed for a whole week and felt super comfortable throughout. The team are super hospitable - both great for chatting and also respecting our space when we needed it. Most importantly, this place isn't just dog-friendly, they're dog people.
