Colony of Wellfleet

The Colony of Wellfleet is a unique lodging institution located at 640 Chequessett Neck Road in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, United States. Originally designed and built in 1948 by architects Nathaniel Saltonstall and Oliver P. Morton, this institution was known as the Mayo Hill Colony Club, serving as a private club and art gallery for artists and patrons. In 1963, Loris and Eleanor Stefani acquired the cottages and transformed them into a hotel, adding their own creative touches and artwork to create The Colony as it is known today. Managed by their son Jeffrey and his wife Mihae since 2019, The Colony offers a truly special summer retreat in the Northeast.

Guests can enjoy reserved beach space, golf, tennis, pickleball, sailing lessons, and more at the club. The cafe offers coffee, pastries, lunch, and drinks with stunning views. Flexible membership options are available for guests.

Rates include fresh linens, maid service, and daily amenities. The Colony operates on advance reservations with a 50% non-refundable deposit required for confirmation. Reservations are accepted from June to September.
