Ravenwood
Ravenwood was established in
1983 by Diane Corbo and Val
Carrano. Diane, a Registered
Nurse working in oncology at Yale New Haven
Hospital and Val, a Research Associate at Yale
Medical School, moved from Connecticut to
Provincetown to follow their dream of living in
Provincetown yearround. Diane’s mother,
Loretta, found the house first while on a walk
during her vacation in the summer of 1982.
She convinced Diane and Val, (who had been
looking for something to buy for about two
years) to go take a look at it. Val immediately
fell in love with the house, an 1830 Greek Revival Style, originally a sea captain’s home
with a floater cottage which had been attached to the main house sometime after
1830. They bought the house in May 1983.
Ravenwood has survived the test of time and
over the past 30 years Ravenwood has been
the recipient of much recognition from the
hospitality industry, most recently for 2012
from Trip Advisor for “impressive business
RAVENWOOD
standards”
called to Trip Advisor’s attention
by the many accolades bestowed on
Ravenwood by
its guests. We
are proud to be
one of the two
founding members of the
Women Innkeepers organization
which began as
a small cocktail
party given by
Diane and Val for
other women innkeepers at Ravenwood in the
fall of 1984. From its humble beginnings the
Women Innkeepers has become an organization known worldwide and is about to celebrate the 29th year of Women’s week.
