  • Reservations

    • Please be sure of your plans before reserving! As a small inn dealing almost exclusively with advance reservations, all date changes and cancellations affect us significantly. Consequently, we require a minimum of two weeks advance notice of any change to your reservation, including a change of dates, change in number of nights, or cancellation. Provided this notice is given, we will refund your deposit less a $20 processing fee per room.
    • Without this notice deposits are not refunded. The only exception will occur if we are able to re-rent the room(s) to fill the entire original booking, at which time we will make the same refund as described above.
    • We realize that life and the weather are unpredictable, but we can't assume responsibility for either! We ask that you carefully consider our cancellation policy before making a reservation with us.
    • Please note that we do have minimum stay requirements … three nights for summer weekends and some holidays, two nights the remainder.
    • Reservations for a single night can sometimes be accommodated. Please call us for any one-night availabilities, as one-night stays can not be reserved on-line. Note also that we rarely have any openings for a single night stay on a Saturday!
    • For bookings of two or more nights, a 50% deposit is required before your reservation will be confirmed.
    • VISA and MasterCard are accepted.
    • Please note that your balance is due when you check in with us, not when you depart.
    • Check-in time is between 2pm and 8pm. Later arrivals can only be arranged with prior notice.
    • Check-out time is 11am.
    • We are sorry that we are not able to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs, and be aware that we have no public restroom.
    • If you arrive early, please visit the Cape May Welcome Center on Lafayette Street where you will find clean restrooms and knowledgeable staff to assist you with maps and information.
    • We regret that we cannot accommodate pets, and children under 10 years are generally happier elsewhere.
