If you stay at a regular hotel or inn I feel safe and quiet but not inspired or fun. Rugosa has fun in its soul. Our room had curated art and just beautiful stuff. It was like walking into the mind of an artist--expressive and non-judgemental--I felt like I was in my home. Sure, there is a kitchen, good coffee, beautiful grounds and pets are welcome--but the soul of Rugosa is art and love. Thanks Joey and Luna.

Fun, eclectic vibe with lots of interesting art. Access to a shared kitchen was convenient for a quick meal and to heat up leftovers. First experience with contactless arrival and it all worked fine.

We were just there for one night after the Wellfleet Oyster Festival. Off season, we were one of 2-3 rooms. We were surprised with a free upgrade to the Captains Quarters. Big room with 4-poster bed and in-room jacuzzi. Very cool building inside and out. Lovely place, tons of original artwork everywhere, relaxed with morning coffee in the sunny living room among the artwork, sculptures, plants, high beams and leather couches. Our kind of place.

We stayed the last week of February 2024, and had room 7 and absolutely loved it. The room wasn't quite ready when we arrived, but after a text exchange with the owner it was quickly taken care of. We would definitely stay here again!

This was our second time staying here and we loved it! We will definitely be back. The service is always wonderful and everyone is so accommodating. It’s also in a great area near quite a few restaurants, beaches, and stores. I would definitely recommend people stay here even if it’s just for a night if they get the chance!
