Old Fashioned Family Run Business for 20 Years

Bournedale Village Inn was bought by Ms. Sherry Flynn in November of 1999. Many renovations have been done over the years to ensure a comfortable stay for her guests and patrons. Recently two of the motel rooms were renovated to include full kitchens.

The property is fortunate to have a small restaurant on site, Barlow’s Clam Shack and Gift Shop. Barlow’s Clam Shack is owned and operated by family members Diane Flynn and Skip Barlow. The clam shack serves classic Cape dishes like clam rolls, fish and chips, “wicked good” lobster rolls and old fashioned ice cream shakes. Patrons can eat-in, take-out or enjoy their meal in the scenic picnic area.

As the original owners had managed the business as a family run tradition this is still in place today, “a true family run business”.

There were 12 maritime families in Bourne very instrumental in the growth of this town, with the nautical flags of each family shown on the whale. The New World’s first location of trade, the Aptucxet Trading Post is incorporated on the whale with the Joseph Jefferson Wind Mill, lighthouses, sea life and much more.

Mr. Paul Marchand bought the property in 1945. Mr. Marchand was a Merchant Marine and lived and worked in New York. He decided to build the Motel after he visited the first “motel “in the United States located on Stanton Island. Mr. Marchand and his son build the motel in 1950 and named it “The Bournedale Lodge” it is said to be the “first motel” on Cape Cod. The buildings that exist today are very different than they were originally.

The Bournedale Lodge was comprised of ten units originally, to include two cottages. One of the cottages was later moved and used as a restaurant and was called Road Isle. Today the building is still the sight of a restaurant that keeps with old cape cod traditions. Barlow’s Clam Shack is a family run business that serves classic Cape dishes like clam rolls, fish and chips and old fashioned ice cream soda . These are the same value that had started the Road Isle restaurant in 1950, and continues today with those same traditions.

Ester Marchand managed the motel seasonally until the 1980’s. In November of 1999, the entire property was bought by Ms. Sherry Flynn and is currently owned and operated year round under the name of The Bournedale Village Inn and Barlow’s Clam Shack and gift shop. Many renovations have been done over the years to ensure a comfortable stay for their guests and patrons. As the original owners had managed the business as a family run tradition this is still in place today, “a true family run business”.
