Just returned from a trip at The Mason Cottage and had a fabulous stay. The home as well as our room were gorgeous and extremely well kept. This was our first experience at a B&B and Lisa was so warm and welcoming. We stayed in the Franklin suite and found it beautifully decorated. The proximity to the shops and beach can't be beat! The 24hr coffee was a nice touch which I often took advantage of while relax in a rocker on the porch. We will definitely return!

We had a wonderful time celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary in Cape May. Your Inn was the perfect backdrop to our Special Holiday get away. The Inn keepers were the perfect hosts and the Breakfast was delicious . The Rooms were so clean and comfortable. I loved how you decorated for the Christmas season ❤️

We were met at the front door by Eric who helped us with our luggage. Eric and Ro were wonderful hosts- so friendly with helpful suggestions on where to go, what to do, restaurants…everything! They served us amazing 2 course breakfasts with dining time options to suit your own schedule. Most of the guests we met had stayed here before and this was their go-to B&B in Cape May. Now we know why!

Great time of year to go. No crowds and great weather. The Inn was everything we expected- clean, well appointed, quiet with comfortable room and bed. Centrally located between town and beach. Wonderful breakfast each morning and great reading room to relax at night. We will definitely be coming back.

I called the actual day to check the availability for 1 night. She was very surprised that we only want to stay for one night and was already kind of unfriendly. She put me on hold for at least 5 minutes (which is quite expensive if you don't have an american phone). After waiting for 5 minutes I hung up. I called again after about five minutes, as soon as she heard my name, she put me on hold again. I tried to call again twice, they didn't even pick up the phone. I can't actually say something about the accomodation, but I really don't like to stay there after this very not customer-oriented behaviour!!! You should probably change the industry, that is not how you behave towards possible customers (I am from this industry as well and I know how it should be!!!)

Eric & Rochelle, their family members and other employees treat every guest like extended family! The bed & breakfast accommodations are top-notch with cleanliness that is unmatched anywhere. We have visited at least six times in different rooms over the past few years. The holiday decorations have a new theme each year & are breathtaking. Every visit is outstanding!

Quaint, attentive and warm Boutique Hotel. Amazing staff! This is one of the only B&B with a delicious and thoughtful vegan breakfast option. They are accommodating and extremely friendly... this is our "home away from home" now (this is our 5th time visiting).

This is hands down the best B&B we've ever stayed at. Thank you SO much Rochelle and Eric. My wife and I had such a wonderful anniversary weekend. We appreciate your hospitality and wonderful service, we appreciate you and we'll see you again this summer.
