Before - Northwood 1989

After - Northwood 1990

Purchased as a gutted shell, it was totally restored in 1989 and 1990 by the present innkeepers, Marj and John Loeper. John has combined his skill as a wooden boat builder and custom home builder to return the Northwood to its original charm and splendor, ncluding the magnificent, sweeping staircase and hardwood floors throughout.

TESTIMONIALS:

"We have been going down to the Ocean City, New Jersey for 3 decades & our first trip to the Northwood Inn was in Oct, 2002. Over the years, it has proved to be a lovely place to stay. The Inn is very clean & the hosts are quite gracious. The accommodations are luxurious & the food is delicious. We truly appreciate the small private breakfast tables, where one can have a private meal or join in a group conversation with others & the hosts." Barb & Vince  Trip Advisor Review

I went down for a couple of days with my fiancee, and we had a UNBELIEVABLE time! A Perfect getaway! Marj and John were incredible, between giving us some background history of the city..... Northwood has a nice roof area, including hammock and hot tub. Very relaxing after a day of biking around!  P.S. Harry, the dog, is so cute and calm! Guests Trip Advisor Review

"In all our years of staying at B & B's - still our favorite. Comfortable, relaxing, wonderful breakfasts, and hosts who couldn't be more welcoming. In season, off season, or whenever a break is needed, we head for the Northwood to renew!"
Rosemary & Mario Caruso, Carmel, NY

"Our first visit to the Northwood Inn was in 1992. We had such a great time that we've come at least twice a year every year since! We especially enjoy the gourmet breakfasts - baked apple french toast is always a favorite. And, the accommodations are bright and airy too."
Robin & Todd Binkley, MD

"The Northwood Inn is a treasure and once we discovered it, its alure brought us back many times. We visit 3-4 times a year because it�s a great place for all seasons. Marj &.
