Attractions

Picturesque Cape May holds the distinction of being the oldest seashore resort in the United States and one of the most unique. Stretching 20 miles out to sea, this oasis of ambiance is a refuge from the hectic 20th century American lifestyle. It is a place to relax, to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean, the city's charming Mall, and most of all, to view the largest collection of authentic Victorian structures in the nation. An important milestone was reached in the Bicentennial Year of 1976 when Cape May was officially designated a National Historic Landmark City, only one of five in the nation.

Introduction

The Gingerbread House Bed and Breakfast is located in the heart of Victorian Cape May's historic district, less than a block from the beach and promenade and merely two blocks from the Cape May Victorian Mall. Cape May's attractions and finest restaurants are also within walking distance. Impeccably maintained and restored by Fred, a self taught craftsman and woodworker. A "woodworkers dream".

As you enter the long foyer leading to a beautiful chestnut and walnut staircase, a light and airy feeling will surround you and the peaceful sounds of classical music will warm your soul. Each room is filled with authentic Victorian antiques and a large stained-glass window is the focal point of the dining room. All this, along with delightful breezes and the sounds of the sea create a truly romantic setting at The Gingerbread House Bed and Breakfast.

"Your bed and breakfast is really quite unique. I can't imagine staying anywhere else!"
