We went to Cape May, NJ to experience Victorian weekend and chose the Gingerbread House as our backdrop and Victorian home away from home. Fred and Joan helped make our experience a phenomenal one. From their welcoming personalities to the comfort of the room, to the conversation around the breakfast table with our fellow guests, the experience was nothing short... More

Stepping back in time in perfectly restored and meticulously kept home, we enjoyed some extremely hard to come by family time thanks to Joan and Fred. Always engaging and thoughtful, Joan and Fred made us feel welcomed as soon as we arrived. Our days started with full well balanced breakfasts, visually pleasing and equally delicious. After eating enough for an... More

The Gingerbread House has been lovingly restored personally by Fred and Joan the owners. The attention to detail is overwhelming in every aspect of this Bed and Breakfast. Joan made us feel welcome and comfortable from our first conversation and this warmth followed through to their very personal good byes at the front door. The location is great . Within... More

Fred and Joan are two excellent inn keepers. Their warmth and welcoming is exceptional. Was a great place to visit and the location is tops. The inn is beautifully decorated and definitely reflects their personalities. Thanks for a great two nights. Sheila C More

I hesitate to write how special a place it was for fear others will find it. Just a block from the beach located in one of the most beautifully restored Victorian houses in Cape May, the Gingerbread house was the perfect place to spend my birthday. Joan's breakfast was divine every morning, and I am still trying to make her... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the Gingerbread House. Joan and Fred couldn't have been more accommodating to their guests. The breakfasts were delicious!!! Our room was so lovely and comfortable. My husband and I look forward to another "get-away" at the Gingerbread House. More

I took my sister for a overnight excursion to Cape May for her 50th birthday as she had never been before. When looking through all of the B&B's that are in Cape May, the Gingerbread House stood out because of it's proximity to town and the beach. We weren't disappointed... Joan & Fred were very welcoming and their "home" was... More

We had originally scheduled our mini-vacation in August. However, Hurrican Irene forced the evacuation of Cape May. Joan was very accommodating in re-booking our weekend for the end of September. She met us at the door with a wealth of knowledge on what to do in Cape May. The B&B is very clean, impeccably decorated and the hosts are very... More

We have stayed at this excellent inn for at least ten years, for several days post season, It is two blocks away from the Atlantic Ocean, and is a pristine Victorian house. The hosts are so helpful, this last stay (Oct. 5-10) providing us with a late night restaurant for dinner (the other couple arrived at 9 PM) and when... More

The Gingerbread House has it all! If you look for a place to rest and be pampered, your hosts will do that. Easygoing atmosphere, great breakfast and kind people. All contained in an exquisite restored and decorated Victorian House. Super central location to everything if you don't mind walking 10 min. More
