Property Description
Located in Falmouth, MA, The Shire is a charming 1960s Cape house surrounded by trees and mature plantings. It has a unique character, with interesting nooks & crannies. Outside, there is always something in bloom. Located on a quiet street, it’s a 5-minute drive to the beach or a 20-minute bike ride.
Wake up in the morning to the sound of birds, relax with a cuppa on your back deck, check in with work with high speed internet. For remote work stays, a home office setup can be provided.
The Space
The studio, affectionately named The Cupboard Atop the Stairs (any Harry Potter fans?), is its own private space. It contains a B&B Italia queen bed with luxury bedding, kitchenette, fold out lighted desk, large updated bath, and hi-speed WiFi.
The studio is perfect for singles or couples, and is pet friendly. Can also accommodate a child. Portable crib available upon request.

Comfortable & perfect location
Loved our stay at this location. The apartment was adorable and so very comfortable. Our host, Laura, thought of every convenience. The apartment was thoughtfully stocked with snacks, waters, coffee, tea, cream and sugar. The apartment design, maximized space while maintaining charm. We enjoyed a peaceful deck, set in a lovely garden. Proximity to the center of town, beaches and ferries, made for a lovely, relaxing weekend. Thank you Laura!

Memorable experience
We were thoroughly impressed with the accommodations and host support! The place was spotless, warm, inviting and nicely located. Our host bent over backwards to ensure a great stay, and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend this with great confidence.

Weekend Getaway
The Cupboard Atop the Stairs is a delightful space! Perfect for a weekend away. Laura was extremely helpful, making room in her garage for our bikes as it was pouring when we arrived on the Cape. Despite the rain, Falmouth offered plenty to keep us busy and our accomodations were cozy. A well stocked kitchenette allowed for coffee in bed in the morning:)
