 Craigville Conference Center, on a bluff
overlooking Nantucket Sound, has been the unique
setting for the Cape Cod Writers Center summer
conference for the past 47 years.
Charming Cape
Cod cottages, many on the National Historic Register,
and an historic post office, inn, and Tabernacle
encircle the classic green, or small park, of
the original 1871 church campground from which
the village evolved.
Three inviting guest houses (Manor, Lodge, and Inn) serve as lodging and classrooms with
views of fresh water ponds and marshes, and Craigville's
world-famous ocean beach.
Two books by Marion R. Vuilleumier, founder of
the Cape Cod Writers Center, capture the rich
history of the village: Cape Cod's Craigville and Craigville Now and Then.
Craigville's ten buildings are interspersed with private cottages in an historic village setting. For overnight rates and information contact The Craigville Conference Center at craigvillecc@capecod.com or (508) 775-1265.
Driving Directions: 39 Prospect Avenue, Craigville, MA 02632
Take Route 6 east to Exit 5. At end of ramp, go straight across Route 149. Take the first right onto Old Stage Road. Follow to the stop sign and take a left, you will still be on Old Stage Road. Proceed to the light and go straight, then straight at the next stop sign and straight through the next light.
You are now on Craigville Beach Road and you will see the beach on the right. Once you pass the long gray beach complex, the road will start to curve to the left, and you will see the green and white Craigville Conference Center sign on the left. Take this left onto Lake Elizabeth Drive and you may follow our signs from there to get to the Manor and the Lodge. Or follow Lake Elizabeth on your right side until you come to the sign for the Tabernacle. Take that left and follow – the Inn will be on the right and the Tabernacle will be in front of you.
