A Rich Heritage

Our story began in 1923 when DeWolf Thompson transformed his sheep farm into the charming inn we know today. Generations of travelers have cherished the serenity and breathtaking views that have become synonymous with Menemsha Inn & Cottages. The Nixon family, stewards of this special place for the past 28 years, continues to uphold the tradition of welcoming guests and creating lasting memories.
