late 1980's. 
Situated on a large landscaped lot in Wellfleet's Central
District, the Stone Lion Inn offers guests a variety of
outdoor spaces to enjoy, including a wisteria-covered gazebo,
fish ponds, and hammock. Indoors, guests are welcome to make
themselves at home in the comfortably furnished living room.
There you will find a variety of games and puzzles, a
television, and VCR plus a collection of video tapes for
viewing. Books of local history, plus a variety of fiction and
non-fiction are for you to enjoy during your stay as well as a
swap library in case you finish your book and need another to
take with you.

for guests.
